Nfl General Counsel Adolpho Birch Speaks On The Nfl's Drug Policy, Adolpho Birch, Journal Of Entertainment & Tech. Law Editor

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

Our standards are set in stone and frankly I think that's the best way to do it. The Commissioner obviously has discretion to alter the discipline, but it is not the type of discretion that is used lightly. It is better in our view to have a defined system with delineated consequences that occur from the use of a prohibited substance. For example, a positive test for a performance-enhancing substance nets a four-game suspension without pay. That is the rule for a first violation and everybody knows it. And when it happens to you, you will be treated the same …

The Voluntary Practices: The Last-Gasp Of Big Time College Football And The Ncaa, Sarah Lemons

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

College football is desperately in need of new NCAA rules governing voluntary practices and the real problem is that coaches will always find a way to slip around the rules in order to seize the rewards of winning. Therefore, the NCAA must perform its duty and reform the rules to protect the health and well being of the collegiate football player, because as a voluntary association of a coalition of 960 member colleges, it has been given the authority to adopt rules governing its member institutions' recruiting, eligibility, financial aid and admissions.

Workplace Mythologies And Unemployment Insurance: Exit, Voice And Exhausting All Reasonable Alternatives To Quitting, Deborah Maranville

Hofstra Law Review

This article argues that the requirement that workers exhaust alternatives to quitting in order to qualify for unemployment benefits is misguided. The requirement is premised on inaccurate assumptions about the world of work and the situation of employees. Albert Hirschman's Exit, Voice and Loyalty provides a theoretical framework for thinking about decisions to stay or leave in the economic and political realms. The exhaustion requirement is premised on a vision of employment as more like a political community than an economic marketplace. While this vision may be an attractive aspiration, it has little foundation in most twenty-first century workplaces.

Parenthood By Pure Intention: Assisted Reproduction And The Functional Approach To Parentage, Richard F. Storrow

UC Law Journal

This Article articulates a theoretical foundation for extending the privilege of intentional parenthood to all individuals, regardless of their marital status. Noting the failure of traditional methods of defining parentage to resolve the parentage issues arising from the use of assisted reproduction, this Article turns to recently enacted and proposed statutory provisions that clearly define intentional parenthood but reserve the status to married couples alone. Taking issue with the exclusionary criteria of these provisions, this Article aligns the emerging doctrine of functional parenthood with current theories in support of intentional parenthood to demonstrate that planning and preparing for the birth …

The Politics Of (Evidence) Rulemaking, Hastings Law Journal

UC Law Journal

Recent changes to federal evidence law, such as new rules on the admissibility of a defendant's prior sexual conduct and amendments to the rules regarding expert testimony, have highlighted the political aspects of procedural rulemaking. This panel grappled with questions such as: Who should make the evidence rules-the judiciary, the legislature, the executive? What role should the practicing bar, law professors and the general public play in the creation of the rules of evidence? What is the proper function of the Federal Rules of Evidence Advisory Committee-to codify case law, to develop rules and amendments to respond to criticism of …
