The Perils Of Public Opinion, Deborah W. Denno

Hofstra Law Review

This article discusses the significance of Paul Robinson’s and John Darley’s book, Justice, Liability, and Blame: Community Views and the Criminal Law (“Justice”), and why the book is an excellent springboard for further research comparing community standards and legal codes. However, contrary to Justice’s conclusions, this article particularly emphasizes the perils of incorporating public opinion into the law based upon three major sources: (1) this article's own study of national and New Jersey demographic and political affiliation data, (2) the results presented in Justice, and (3) the results of public opinion research.

This article suggests that public opinion research may …

The 1999 Amendments To The Ethical Considerations In New York's Code Of Professional Responsibility, Roy Simon

Hofstra Law Review

I will focus tonight only on the 1999 Amendments to the Ethical Considerations ("ECs") in New York's Code of Professional Responsibility. There has not been a lot of attention paid to these Amendments, partly because the ECs are adopted only by the New York State Bar Association. They are not adopted by the courts. As such, they do not have Part 1200 numbers and are not part of the official compilation of New York Codes, Rules and Regulations ("NYCRR"). Therefore, when the stories came out in mid-July about the Amendments to the Code of Professional Responsibility, they generally did not …

Homosexuality As Contagion: From The Well Of Loneliness To The Boy Scouts, Nancy J. Knauer

Hofstra Law Review

In the political arena, there are currently two central and competing views of homosexuality. Pro-family organizations, working from a contagion model of homosexuality, contend that homosexuality is an immoral, unhealthy, and freely chosen vice. Many pro-gay organizations espouse an identity model of homosexuality under which sexual orientation is an immutable, unchosen, and benign characteristic. Both pro-family and pro-gay organizations believe that to define homosexuality is to control its legal and political status.

This sometimes bitter debate regarding the nature of same-sex desire might seem like an exceedingly contemporary development. However, the ex-gay media blitz of 2000 represents only the latest …

Herbal Remedies Are Not Dietary Supplements: A Proposal For Regulatory Reform, Cary Elizabeth Zuk

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

Increasingly, consumers are turning to herbal remedies to help heal what ails them. This note explores the past and present regulation of herbal remedies. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 provided a convenient regulatory vehicle-"dietary supplements"-for herbal remedies to enter the market with labeling that claims a positive effect on the structure or function of the body or on one's general sense of well-being. This note argues that DSHEA fails as a regulatory system for herbal remedies. While it safeguards access to herbal remedies, DSHEA only allows vague labeling information suggesting the therapeutic potential of the …

You Can't Always Get What You Want: Government's Good Intentions V. The First Amendment's Prescribed Freedoms In Protecting Children From Sexually-Explicit Material On The Internet, Abbigale E. Bricker

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Once a small and diverse community of a handful of government computers, the Internet has expanded to an estimated 157 million users worldwide. According to current studies, the fastest growing user populations on the Internet are thirteen to eighteen year-olds and five to twelve year-olds. In addition, the latest "research . . . predicts that the number of children online [will increase] by 155% between 1998 and 2002."

Characterizing The Role Of Mapk Phosphates In Plants, Laura Asakura

Honors Theses

Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathways e ubiquitous ongst eukaryotes, involved in the signal transduction of various external stimuli to the nucleus. In plants, only MAPK pathways related to pathogen- and stress-related responses have been identified. It has been proposed that another MAPK pathway exists in plants, one that is similar to animal MAPK pathways and postulated to connect the regulation of cell growth and the actions of hormones auxin, cytokinin, and gibberellin. In order to establish whether a link exists between the MAPK pathway and hormone signaling in plants, the role of MAPK phosphatases (MKP) on hormone signaling was …

An Inquiry Into Indigenous Political Participation: Implications For Tribal Sovereignty, David E. Wilkins

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

When we set out to examine the various forms and patterns of indigenous political participation in the three polities they are connected to—tribal, state, and federal—we are stepping into a most complicated subject matter. It is complicated in large part because Indians are citizens of separate extra-constitutional nations whose members have only gradually been incorporated in various ways by various federal policies and day to day interactions with non-Indians. Tribal nations, of course, have never been constitutionally incorporated and still retain their standing as separate political bodies not beholden to either federal or state constitutions for their existence.

Advertisements And Sponsorships In Charitable Cyberspace: Virtual Reality Meets Legal Fiction, Darryll K. Jones

Journal Publications

By now, it is perhaps cliche to quote Sir Walter Scott's familiar refrain' when referring to communications occurring via the World Wide Web (the Web). And yet, that age-old wisdom comes readily to mind when one considers the unrelated business income tax (UBIT) as it relates to charities that, for consideration paid, participate in a profit-seeker's web-based marketing communications. That first lie, to be precise, is that a charity's payment-induced, unlimited public display of a profit-seeker's logo, slogan and product, when unaccompanied by "comparative or qualitative descriptions" or explicit requests to buy, results in no trade or business income for …

'Texas Maroon’ Bluebonnet, Wayne A. Mackay, Jerry M. Parsons, Greg Grant, Steve George, Tim D. Davis, Larry Stein

SFA Gardens Publications

The Texas state flower, the bluebonnet, encompasses all six of the Lupinus species native to Texas. The most widespread and popular bluebonnet, Lupinus texensis Hook., is a winter annual that produces violet-blue [violet-blue group 96A, Royal Horticultural

Society (RHS), 1982] racemes in early to midspring and is predominately self-pollinating.

The Texas Dept. of Transportation uses this species widely for floral displays along roadsides throughout much of the state (Andrews, 1986). Rare white and even rarer pink variants exist in native populations, and a breeding project was initiated in 1985 to develop bluebonnets with novel flower colors for use as bedding …

Inmigración, Nacionalismo Cultural, Campo Intelectual: El Proyecto Creador De Alberto Gerchunoff, Fernando Degiovanni

Publications and Research

El final de la Autobiografía (1914) de Alberto Gerchunoff (1883-1950) constituye uno de los puntos de partida más significativos a través de los cuales es posible analizar la temática de lo judío-argentino en el marco de su producción textual. El autor de Los gauchos judíos (1910) se sitúa allí frente al campo cultural de la Argentina del Centenario por medio de una serie de operaciones ideológicas que plantean una opción no sólo intelectual sino también específicamente literaria en la construcción de su proyecto creador. La afirmación: “Yo no aspiro a cantar únicamente la vida judía: soy ante todo argentino y …
