War Decisions In The Late 1990s By Partial Congressional Declaration, Charles Tiefer

San Diego Law Review

The great surprise in actual war powers decision making of the late 1990s has been the emergence of a practically decisive, yet

constitutionally unexplored paradigm: "partial" congressional declara- tion of war.' Presently, the Senate and the House seem to have the

function of deciding on warlike action through unmatched, "partial" declarations; just how constitutional can this be?

Employer Liability For Harassment Under Title Vii: A Functional Rationale For Faragher And Ellerth, Michael C. Harper

San Diego Law Review

In two decisions concerning sexual harassment, Faragher v. City of Boca Raton' and Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth, The Supreme Court, on the last day of its 1997-1998 term finally articulated coherent vicarious liability rules critical for bounding the scope of the discrimination prohibitions in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Court did so by explaining the meaning of the inclusion of "any agent" in Title VII's definition of "employer.'" The meaning of "agent" in this definition is critical for establishing employer liability because almost all Title VII-protected employees work for corporations and other legal fictions …

Jerry-Building The Road To The Future: An Evaluation Of The White Commission Report On Structural Alternatives For The Federal Courts Of Appeals, Joseph N. Akrotirianakis, Paul Garo Arshagouni, Zareh A. Jalotorssian

San Diego Law Review

For years, critics have argued that the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit should be divided because it has grown too large to manage its caseload effectively.' They blame the Ninth Circuit's size for alleged increases in intra-circuit conflicts, inefficiency, delay, and a lack of collegiality among its judges.! In recent years, conservative

congressmen in the Pacific Northwest have criticized the San Francisco- based circuit for its "liberal" rulings on everything from the environment

to the death penalty?

The Future Of Bioethics Testimony: Guidelines For Determining Qualifications, Reliability, And Helpfulness, Bethany Spielman, George Agich

San Diego Law Review

This Article addresses key questions about expert bioethics testimony4 from within the framework of the basic rule concerning expert witnesses, Federal Rule of Evidence 702.' This Rule6 requires judges to affirmatively answer three basic questions before admitting expert testimony: (1) does this witness qualify as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education; (2) does the testimony consist of scientific, technical or other specialized knowledge; and (3) will the testimony assist the trier of fact. Bioethics testimony presents distinctive problems in each area, on which commentators have not necessarily focused. Part II of this Article addresses the question of …

Gravity-Capillary Waves And Their Influence On Air-Sea Interaction Under Non-Stationary Conditions, B. Mete Uz

Open Access Dissertations

There is renewed interest in short wind-waves because they are actively involved in most exchange processes between the ocean and the atmosphere, because they are the basis of radar remote sensing measurements, and also because new methods are available to measure them. Wind generated gravity-capillary waves have been measured along with wind parameters both in a wind-wave tank, using a scanning laser slope gauge capable of good wavenumber and frequency resolution. The experiments address the classical issues of the generation and subsequent evolution of short wind-waves, their modulation by fluctuating wind forcing and their contribution to the momentum flux from …

Speaking Of Liturgy: Education And Fonnation Through And For Worship, Dorothy C. Bass

Institute of Liturgical Studies Occasional Papers

(Excerpt)

On Palm Sunday eighteen days ago I paid a visit to the country of my youth. I was visiting my parents on the East Coast and so on that day I worshiped with them at their church, First Presbyterian. I've never belonged to that particular congregation, but the denominational ethos was familiar. Visiting my family of origin, I had reentered my denomination of origin as well.

Crossing The Threshold: Examining The Abatement Of Public Nuisances Within The Home, Mary B. Spector

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

The Article suggests an approach courts should use when considering whether to abate a public nuisance within a home that is consistent with the goals and purposes of traditional public nuisance law as well as modern approaches to the regulation of individual rights and property. Part I provides the background for the analysis as it examines the common law origins of public nuisance law and the expansion of the equitable remedy of abatement. It also contrasts the law of public nuisance with the law of civil forfeiture. Although the law of civil forfeiture also permits uncompensated seizure of property connected …
