Ambiguous Quality Changes From Taxes And Legal Rules, Henry E. Smith

University of Chicago Law Review

Legal rules have long been analogized to taxes. Conventional analysis has often assumed that the mix of attributes within commodities is either fixed or costlessly measured. This Article explores the consequences for legal rules from dropping this neoclassical assumption of constant quality. Instead, attributes are costly to measure, and substitution can occur by altering levels of attributes (such as durability) within commodities, services, and activities. The Article extends models of quality under commodity-excise taxes to the more complex case of legal rules mandating product enhancements (such as nondisclaimable warranties) and to rules aimed at pricing external harms (such as pollution …

Swiss American Historical Society Review

I was born on May 1, 1911 in Kttsnacht, Canton Zttrich, Switzerland. That day is a national holiday in Switzerland which is their equivalent of our Labor Day.

My name was a very common name in Switzerland at the time. I had no middle name. The Swiss spelling of my name is Gertrud.

Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market Developments 1999-2000, Bruce Johnson, Brandon G.Y. Raddatz

Nebraska Farm Real Estate Reports

Nebraska's agricultural real estate market conditions have been monitored and analyzed annually since 1978 by the Department of Agricultural Economics-UNL. In the most recent survey for 2000, the markets for agricultural land were found to have remained relatively unchanged over the past year, despite generally poor farm commodity prices. As of February 1st, 2000, the UNL survey showed the state all-land average value to be $698 per acre, a 1.1 percent increase from 12 months earlier. While the values for particular classes of land across the sub-state areas moved in both directions, the percentage changes from year-earlier levels were generally …

Corporate Citizenship – Convergence In Corporate Governance?, Vikram Rajaram

IIMB Management Review

In an almost seamless manner good corporate governance is seen to include corporate citizenship and, through an extension of good citizenship - corporate philanthropy. Corporate India seems to have accepted the nexus between the creation of wealth and the distribution of wealth. In the same manner that recommended corporate governance practices of yesteryear have now been enshrined in statutes, it is probably a portent of things to come that what constitutes good corporate Round Table 90 citizenship today will, with the passage of time, be decreed by law.

Pretrial Mediation Of Complex Scientific Cases: A Proposal To Reduce Jury And Judicial Confusion, Susan E. Cowell

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Note proposes pretrial mediation using scientist-mediators for complex scientific disputes. Complex scientific disputes reflect the inherent tension between law and science. This tension results in dissatisfaction among judges, juries, and scientists because of the uncertainties embraced by science, but eschewed by law. Pretrial mediation would address some of these uncertainties before they are introduced into the courtroom. In short, the proposed pretrial mediation should reduce jury confusion and provide judges with guidance to assess the admissibility of scientific evidence and expert opinions by eliminating and clarifying scientific issues.

The United Kingdom Bill Of Rights 1998: The Modernisation Of Rights In The Old World, Clive Walker, Russell L. Weaver

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Into a steadfastly conservative constitutional landscape, the United Kingdom Parliament has now introduced a Bill of Rights, the Human Rights Act of 1998, which takes effect in October 2000. The Act provides for a full catalogue of civil and political rights which are enforceable by the courts. This development raises two questions in evaluating the future of English law. First, does this signify the dawn of a new British radicalism? And second, why has it happened now? In answering these questions in relation to England and Wales, Part I of this Article provides an introduction to the traditional treatment of …

Before It's Too Late: Neuropsychological Consequences Of Child Neglect And Their Implications For Law And Social Policy, Janet Weinstein, Ricardo Weinstein

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Recent developments in the neurosciences have led to dramatic breakthroughs in the area of brain development and the understanding of consequences of neglect. Because this process was heretofore not understood, legislators have been wary of drafting child protection statutes that afforded the possibility for arbitrary interference with families. Strict statutory standards have been adopted that allow coercive intervention only in cases where the child is at substantial risk of imminent physical harm, or after some of the most severe consequences of neglect have been identified. These laws do not consider developmental harm because it does not present an imminent danger …

Points Against Postmodernism, Catharine A. Mackinnon

Analyzing Women's Use Of The Internet Through The Rights Debate, Reem Bahdi

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Women's use of the Internet has received very little attention from feminist legal commentators. While they increasingly turn to it as a source of information and as an advocacy tool, feminist legal scholars and advocates have failed to analyze the Internet in terms of its significance to women. In this Essay, Bahdi argues that feminists must be concerned that access to the Internet is often limited to relatively privileged women in relatively privileged countries. Yet, we can harness the Internet in the promotion of women's rights and recognize it as an important feminist medium, as long as we understand its …

The Church: An Alternative Urban Transportation Amenity, Charfes A. Wright, Addis C. Taylor

CUTR Research Reports

The church was chosen as an alternative means of transportation because of its present ownership of vehicles (typically vans or buses) which are able to transport many persons simultaneously, In addition. the transportation amenities (vans and buses) are usually idle driving the week when the demand of transportation is high. It is possible that the church will agree to be an alternative transportation provider if there are useful incentives that would provide advantages for them. These incentives include: discount on gasoline, maintenance of church vehicles, lowered insurance rates for church vehicles and other related incentives.

The Impact Of Individual, Organizational, And Environmental Attributes On Voluntary Turnover Among Juvenile Correctional Staff Members, Ojmarrh Mitchell, Doris Layton Mackenzie, Gaylene Armstrong, Angela Gover

Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

In this study we assessed the impact of individual employee characteristics, organizational attributes, and quality of the correctional environment on the turnover intentions of juvenile correctional staff members. Both individual characteristics and organizational attributes were significant predictors of turnover intentions. The individual characteristics were age, race, and education; the organizational variables were job satisfaction, stress, and staff support and communication. In general, the organizational attributes were stronger predictors of turnover. Only one variable pertaining to the quality of correctional environment, facility's amount of care toward juveniles, was significantly related to turnover. In contrast to findings of previous research, dangerousness, gender, …
