Malpractice And The Tax Practitioner: An Analysis Of The Areas In Which Malpractice Occurs, Jacob L. Todres

Faculty Publications

(Excerpt)

As an attorney for approximately twenty-five years, I have been cognizant of the apparent increase in litigiousness of modem society, and of the concomitant increase in malpractice suits against professionals, both lawyers as well as non-lawyers. As a teacher of tax law, I am especially interested in how this trend impacts the tax lawyer, as well as other tax practitioners. What I am especially interested in is determining which areas of tax law and tax practice have generated the most malpractice claims so that practitioners may embark into such areas forewarned. Unfortunately, most of the existing literature focuses on …

Efficient Dynamic Unstructured Methods And Applications For Transonic Flows And Hypersonic Stage Separation, Xiaobing Luo

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Relative-moving boundary problems have a wide variety of applications. They appear in staging during a launch process, store separation from a military aircraft, rotor-stator interaction in turbomachinery, and dynamic aeroelasticity.

The dynamic unstructured technology (DUT) is potentially a strong approach to simulate unsteady flows around relative-moving bodies, by solving time-dependent governing equations. The dual-time stepping scheme is implemented to improve its efficiency while not compromising the accuracy of solutions. The validation of the implicit scheme is performed on a pitching NACA0012 airfoil and a rectangular wing with low reduced frequencies in transonic flows. All the matured accelerating techniques, including the …

The Impacts And Implementation Of Integrated Marketing Communications, Min-Fang Wu

Theses

In the current market place, there are two points that occupy the marketer's attention. One is the necessity of integration; the other is the importance of communications. Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) is the crystallization of the two thoughts.

Because the entire market place is changing so rapidly, factors that result in a successful business are too complicated. Integration of all kinds of market resources is no longer a marketing theory which is discussed by academics. It has become a necessary solution to business.

On the other hand, the popular issue of communication does not simply reflect the deep relationship of …

Vitamin Effect On The Aerobic Biodegradation Of Phenanthrene, Antracene, Fluoranthene, And Pyrene In A Contaminated Soil From An Industrial Site, Ilkay Cam

Theses

Bioremediation of organic wastes is often a cost-effective technology for the in situ treatment of contaminated soils. In this study, the possibility of increasing the rate and extent of biodegradation for phenathrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, and pyrene in an industrial PAH contaminated soil via vitamin mixture supplementation was explored.

Soil contained with PAHs was obtainecl from the Bayway refinery site formerly owned by Exxon (Linden, NJ). Experiments were conducted in which the contaminated soil was amended with a mixtures of four vitamins (niacin, biotin, folic acid, and panthothenic acid). Peat moss, a common soil amendment, was also added in some experiments. …

A Comparative Analysis Of Women's Issues: Toward A Contextualized Approach, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez

Faculty Scholarship

"This Article proposes a methodology for comparative analysis of women's rights using insights from critical race theory and feminism. Comparative analysis by a Western scholar must reconcile a perspective developed in the United States with respect for another culture. In discussing women's rights, lawyers, judges, students and sociologists have justified certain women's situations as an inherent aspect of culture. For example, traditional "female genital surgery" has been defended as a "mere bodily mutilation" that is the "sine qua non of the whole teaching of tribal law, religion, and morality." In Mexico, "machismo" has been justified as an immutable characteristic of …

Introduction: Latcrit Theory: Mapping It's Intellectual And Political Foundations And Future Self-Critical Directions, Margaret E. Montoya

Faculty Scholarship

The third annual gathering of LatCrit scholars has resulted in this cluster of essays and articles that continue the work of defining the foundations and the future directions of this legal scholarship movement. As described in some of the articles within this cluster, LatCrit has had the benefit of learning valuable lessons from other slightly older schools of critical legal theory, most particularly from the Critical Race Theory ("CRT") Workshop. The LatCrit movement has been strengthened because scholars identified primarily with CRT working with and alongside scholars identified primarily with LatCrit have struggled to recognize, name and address the hetero-normativity …

Emphasizing Torts In Claims Of Discrimination Against Black Female Athletes, Alfred Dennis Mathewson

Faculty Scholarship

In Black Women, Gender Equity and the Function at the Junction, I argued that an equality-based legal regime does not provide an adequate remedy for African-American female athletes. Instead I suggested that a tort-based regime may be more appropriate. I did so knowing that gender and racial discrimination are torts and I did not intend to suggest otherwise. They are statutory torts founded upon equality principles. What I intended was to draw more upon the general tort principles involved in an antidiscrimination action. I specifically invoked the notion of using mass tort theories. I wish to sketch a brief but …

Entrenching Interests: State Supermajority Requirements To Raise Taxes, Max J. Minzner

Faculty Scholarship

At the opening of the 104th Congress, the new Republican majority imposed the first supermajority requirement "limited to particular cases" in the history of Congress. The unanswered question is whether the Rule is a good idea, particularly whether this Rule is well designed. The states have extensive experience with supermajority requirements for tax increases. This article attempts to answer the question of supermajority design. If alterations in the tax code are to be restricted, how should they be limited? To what type of bills should a supermajority requirement apply? At what level should the requirement be implemented? When and how …

Faculty Scholarship

The idea of professional success,especially in the elite legal profession, as being closely linked to community or having corresponding value to the community has directly affected my view of individual lawyering.

Ali To Flood To Marshall: The Most Triumphant Of Words, Alfred Dennis Mathewson

Faculty Scholarship

I am honored to participate in this commentary on the Curt Flood Act of 1998.1 I shall not, however, provide a detailed analysis of its provisions. Instead I Will reflect upon my reactions to the Act. To be honest, I am disappointed. Negotiated by the Major League owners and the Major League Baseball Players Association through collective bargaining and modified by Congress, the Act is certain to become a staple of legislative drafting courses for decades. As others in this commentary may have stated, it is as notable for what it purports to do as for what Congress purports it …
