African-American, Latino, And Hispanic Youth In Service Topic Bibliography, Charles C. Cook

Bibliographies

African-American, Latino, and Hispanic communities have been among the least discussed, least researched, and under-reported groups in the area of community service. Traditions of these cultures have a history of building and enriching their environments by involving youth. Over 80% of African-Americans, Latino, and Hispanic people populate the nation's 100 largest cities. Therefore African-American, Latino, and Hispanic youth who are engaged in community service are involved in strengthening and revitalizing our country's urban centers. Today organizations such as the National Urban League, ASPIRA, and the National Council of La Raza, as well as schools and local community organizations help mobilize …

The Right To Representation By Counsel In University Disciplinary Proceedings: A Denial Of Due Process Of Law, Robert B. Groholski

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This comment argues that university students who face suspension or expulsion for disciplinary reasons, as opposed to academic dismissal, are entitled to have retained legal counsel represent them as an element of procedural due process. The article begins with a general discussion of the jurisprudence that has developed concerning the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. Utilizing both federal and state court decisions, the comment then demonstrates that university students hold protected liberty and property interests in their collegiate educations or degrees such that the procedural protections of the Due Process Clause are triggered when students face disciplinary suspension or expulsion. …

Challenging Land Use Actions Under Section 1983: Washington Law After Mission Springs, Inc. V. City Of Spokane, Eric Jenkins

Washington Law Review

Federal law, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, provides a cause of action against persons who use state or local law to deprive individuals of constitutional rights. Federal circuit courts have been reluctant to apply § 1983 to commonplace land use grievances because of the local character of land use planning and a belief that only the most egregious misuse of zoning power can implicate a party's substantive due process rights. To limit the number of claims that can be brought under § 1983, the federal circuits have narrowly defined what property rights are protected by the Fourteenth Amendment and have held …

Adoption In The Progressive Era: Preserving, Creating, And Re-Creating Families, Chris Guthrie, Joanna L. Grossman

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

The history of adoption law and practice has received scant attention from legal scholars and historians. Most of what little scholarship there is focuses on the history of adoption to the mid-nineteenth century, when the first adoption statutes emerged in the United States. Although the enactment of these statutes has been hailed as "an historic moment in the history of Anglo-American family and society" and "the most far-reaching innovation of nineteenth-century custody law," few scholars have made an effort to document the actual operation of adoption law following the enactment of these landmark statutes. This article does just that. Drawing …

Use Of Humor And Relationship Intimacy, Laura Warrenchuk

Theses and Dissertations

Humor is a unique social interaction that is ubiquitous in everyday life. Humor can serve a number of functions, including ones that may either enhance or detract from social intimacy. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between different uses of humor and intimacy in relationships. It was hypothesized that positive and expressive uses of humor would lead to increases in intimacy within the relationship, whereas negative uses of humor would lead to decreased levels of intimacy.

Undergraduate college students (N = 93) completed the Functional Uses of Humor Scale and the Miller Social Intimacy Scale. Analyses focused …

Executive Privilege Or Punishment? The Need To Define Legitimate Invocations And Conflict Resolution Techniques, Mark P. Doherty

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This comment describes justifications for the doctrine of executive privilege and then examines various arguments against its legitimacy and use. This comment then reflects on several historical invocations of the privilege and the ensuing public, political, and judicial reactions. Finally, the author suggests that Congress implement guidelines for legitimate invocations of the executive privilege and outlines an effective system to safeguard this constitutional executive prerogative.

The Wisconsin Bear Arms Amendment And The Case Against An Absolute Prohibition On Carrying Concealed Weapons, Christopher R. Mcfadden

Northern Illinois University Law Review

In November 1998, the voters of Wisconsin established a constitutional right to keep and bear arms. The Wisconsin Legislature framed and sent to the voters a broadly worded constitutional amendment that created an individual right to keep and bear arms for defense, security, hunting, recreation, or any other lawful purpose. It was designed to repeal and prevent the subsequent re-enactment of unreasonable prohibitions of that right, including the state's current sweeping prohibition of the liberty to carry concealed weapons at any time or place or in any manner. In light of this legislative history and voter understanding of the amendment, …

How Not To Think About "Managed Care", Jacob S. Hacker, Theodore R. Marmor

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The claim of this Article is that the concept of "managed care," like many concepts now prominent in commentary about medical care finance and delivery in the United States, is incoherent and thus a barrier to useful analysis. To demonstrate this conclusion, we first discuss the managerial context in which managed care claims have arisen and outline the diverse trends to which the category is regularly and confusingly applied. We then suggest an alternative approach to characterizing recent changes in medical care and show how this approach alters and deepens our understanding of recent economic and political developments. We conclude …

Managed Care Regulation: Can We Learn From Others? The Chilean Experience, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Because the United States relies on private insurance for financing health care to a much greater degree than do other nations, and because managed care as a form of private insurance is further developed in the United States than elsewhere, it is arguable that we have little to learn from other nations about managed care regulation. This Article tests this hypothesis with respect to Chile, a country where private insurance is widespread and managed care is emerging. It concludes that by studying the experience of other nations we might gain a larger perspective on the context of our concerns in …

Accountable Managed Care: Should We Be Careful What We Wish For?, David A. Hyman

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Managed care is exceedingly unpopular of late. Many people believe that the problem is managed care organizations (MCOs) are unaccountable. Indeed, for many people, the creation of tort-based accountability for MCOs is the touchstone for assessing legislative "reform." The case for tort-based accountability is actually quite complex, and the merits of tort-based accountability cannot be resolved with sound bites and bad anecdotes. Tort-based accountability has both costs and benefits, and little attention has been paid to the extent to which alternatives to tort-based accountability are found in existing institutional arrangements.

This Article systematically considers the extent to which alternatives to …

Clearing The Way For An Effective Federal-State Partnership In Health Reform, Eleanor D. Kinney

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

At century's end, states have assumed a very different role in the design, implementation, and operation of health service programs than they did twenty-five years ago. In the current volatile political atmosphere particularly at the federal level, states have taken up the mantle of healthcare reform in the final years of the 1990s. Yet there remain problems and difficulties with the current federal-state relationship in health reform. The critical question is whether states can successfully accomplish genuine reform given its politically charged, complex and costly nature. This question takes on particular significance for the most important reform-expanding coverage to the …
