Legal Framework In The Canadian Offshore, Van Penick

Dalhousie Law Journal

In this article, the author examines the legal framework in effect in the Atlantic Canada offshore through a comparative analysis of the Western Canada onshore regime in five basic areas: property rights, oil and gas rights, the constitutional division of oil and gas authority, basic agreements and the application of laws. The major differences exposed by this analysis should aid east coast oil and gas practitioners in properly advising their clients.

Bringing Liberalism And Communitarianism Closer, Paul Frazier

Masters Theses

The question that divides liberalism and communitarianism is: should the state exist to protect individuals and individual rights or for the good of society as a whole? This thesis suggests that this is the wrong question to ask. Individuals are not isolated and different from their communities, but are products of social settings. This does not mean, however, that individual freedom and individual rights are compromised. Rather, the only way for an individual to be an autonomous agent and to make free choices is within a society. Rights for individuals, then, must come from within a social setting. Therefore, the …

The Necessity Of Preventing Unilateral Responses To Water Scarcity-The Next Major Threat Against Mankind This Century, Leticia M. Diaz, Barry Hart Dubner

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the legal and environmental challenges surrounding water scarcity, using the Great Lakes as a case study. It explores the tension between equitable resource utilization and sustainable development under international and regional legal frameworks. The analysis highlights the role of the International Joint Commission (IJC) in managing shared water resources and emphasizes the need for balanced approaches to address competing economic, environmental, and intergenerational concerns. The Great Lakes serve as a critical example of the complexities of managing a finite, shared resource.

The World Trade Organization: Environmental Police?, Jane I. Yoon

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the tension between the World Trade Organization's (WTO) primary goal of promoting free trade and its efforts to address environmental concerns. While the WTO has established mechanisms like the Committee on Trade and Environment (CTE) to reconcile trade and environmental issues, critics argue that its framework prioritizes trade over environmental protection. The note concludes that the WTO's environmental aspirations are commendable but ultimately impractical due to the inherent conflict between trade liberalization and environmental goals.

India: Implementing Sex Equality Through Law, Martha C. Nussbaum

Chicago Journal of International Law

This Article will use the case of sex equality in India to argue for an intermediate position. Usually, and on balance, I shall argue, the Kantian position is the wisest: norms are meaningful and stable only when they are adopted freely from within. Moreover, the nation is the largest unit we currently have that is sufficiently accountable to people's voices to be a legitimate vehicle of their most important concerns. On the other hand, there is much to be said about what nations do well and not so well in this area, and the case of India does provide occasion …

Chinese Population Transfer In Tibet, John S. Hall

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the impact of China's population transfer policies in Tibet since the 1950 invasion, arguing that these policies have led to the marginalization of Tibetans, significant environmental degradation, and human rights abuses. It explores various legal and diplomatic strategies to address these issues, including the Dalai Lama's Five Point Plan, human rights law, environmental law, and international negotiations.

Two Wrongs Do Not Make A Defense: Eliminating The Equal-Opportunity-Harasser Defense, Shylah Miles

Washington Law Review

Sexual harassment is a prevalent problem in the American workplace that accounts for nearly sixty-four percent of all gender discrimination claims under Title VII. The equal-opportunity-harasser defense allows harassers who target both males and females to escape liability. Courts have allowed the defense because they have interpreted the "because of sex" element of a sexual harassment claim to require disparate treatment or a showing that the plaintiffs would not have been harassed if they were members of the opposite sex. An equal-opportunity harasser harasses both sexes and, therefore, plaintiffs cannot prove disparate treatment. This Comment argues that the disparate-treatment requirement …

The First Amendment Versus The World Trade Organization: Emergency Powers And The Battle In Seattle, Aaron Perrine

Washington Law Review

The 1999 World Trade Organization (WTO) ministerial meeting in Seattle was the target of highly organized, widely supported protest demonstrations. In response to the protests, city officials declared a state of emergency, ordering nighttime curfews and a daytime "no-protest zone" in downtown Seattle. They reasoned that the zone was necessary to protect the rights of WTO delegates and to restore public order. This Comment argues that mass nonviolent protests deserve more First Amendment protection than was afforded to demonstrators in Seattle. Even when violence occurs and public order is threatened, governments must narrowly tailor emergency orders to avoid trampling on …

Expectations Of Iconographic Symbols In Third Century Christianity, David Corbet

Doctor of Ministry

Art is the avenue down which one moves to encounter the divine. It is the expression of a person's or groups spiritual experience. Through art the divine and the human meet. Within the framework of art, there are different means of expression. A symbol serves as a pointer, directing the audience towards the divine. Figurative expression depicts scenes from religious history, which carries meaning to the audience about their tradition and their history. Narrative expressions tell a story with significance to the religious community. Every religion has some type of artistic expression. This is how a religion demonstrates its own …

Canine And Feline Parvoviruses Can Use Human Or Feline Transferrin Receptors To Bind, Enter, And Infect Cells, John S. L. Parker, William J. Murphy, Dai Wang, Stephen J. O'Brien, Colin R. Parrish

Biology Faculty Articles

Canine parvovirus (CPV) enters and infects cells by a dynamin-dependent, clathrin-mediated endocytic pathway, and viral capsids colocalize with transferrin in perinuclear vesicles of cells shortly after entry (J. S. L. Parker and C. R. Parrish, J. Virol. 74:1919–1930, 2000). Here we report that CPV and feline panleukopenia virus (FPV), a closely related parvovirus, bind to the human and feline transferrin receptors (TfRs) and use these receptors to enter and infect cells. Capsids did not detectably bind or enter quail QT35 cells or a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell-derived cell line that lacks any TfR (TRVb cells). However, capsids bound and …

Scientific Uncertainty And Causation In Tort Law, Mark Geistfeld

Vanderbilt Law Review

Tort cases involving scientific uncertainty frequently present courts with a difficult causation issue. In the paradigmatic case, the available scientific evidence indicates that a substance might be hazardous, but does not establish that the substance is hazardous.' When presented with such evidence, courts must decide whether the plaintiff has adequately proven that her injury was tortiously caused by the substance.

This causal issue potentially arises whenever we do not fully understand how a substance interacts with the body and produces an adverse health outcome. We do not, for example, adequately understand the etiology of cancer.2 To assess whether a substance …

The Unexpected Persistence Of Negligence, 1980-2000, G. Edward White

Vanderbilt Law Review

In Tort Law in America: An Intellectual History, I made the general argument that the development of tort law in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries had been more influenced by ideas than previous scholars had suggested.' In making that argument I employed the terms "ideas" and "influence" at multiple levels of generality. The argument would perhaps have been better under- stood if I had more clearly particularized the specificity and generality of my claims about ideas as causal agents.

At the most specific level, I employed the term "ideas" to refer to particular doctrinal and policy proposals for tort law …
