E-Buyer Beware: Why Online Auction Fraud Should Be Regulated, Miriam R. Albert

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

Part of a special issue on cyber law. The increasing use of the Internet as a medium of commerce has led to an increase in Internet fraud, raising new and challenging legal issues in areas including online auctions. Under current law, a defrauded participant in an online auction transaction has no recourse against the online auction site. However, the FTC should apply its substantial regulatory authority to the creation of binding regulations for online auction sites. Such regulations should include ideas such as authenticating participants' identities, limiting the number of user names per participant, verifying the creditworthiness of participants, offering …

Crazy Jane Talks With The Bishop: Abortion In South Africa, China, Germany, South Africa And International Human Rights Law, Barbara Stark

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

Feminists involved in international human rights law have long recognized that reproductive rights are an essential part of any larger struggle for women's human rights. As noted at the World Conference on Population in Cairo in 1994 and reiterated at the World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, control over their own reproduction is a prerequisite for any meaningful conception of women's human rights. At the same time, feminists have recognized that reproductive rights, in fact, involve a range of related but distinct rights -- from access to birth control for minors to environmental safeguards that protect women from …

Gas Exchange And Yields Of Bt Resistant Maize (Zea Mays L.) With European Corn Borer (Ostrinia Nubilalis, Hubner) Infestation, Shad Mallady

Masters Theses

Seed companies have transgenic maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids resistant to European corn borer (ECB) [Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner)]. However, the impact of this Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) gene on other plant processes is not understood. In 1997 and 1999, a study at Central Golden Harvest Research in Clinton, IL focused on how the Bt gene affects gas exchange and yields of maize with and without ECB infestation. Bt and non-Bt isogenic pairs were planted with or without nets and/or insecticides to eliminate natural infestation of ECB, and with or without manual infestation of ECB. Photosynthesis and transpiration …

American Kitsch: Dreams Of Vegas And Apollo Beyond Aporias, Daniel Gerling

Masters Theses

Aside from a recently published compendium of happy stories by Dan Rather and a few real estate agencies in Florida, the American Dream has been considered dead. The most common poison deemed responsible for this death has been, not the lack of success, but, the "kitschiness" of the reward. Postwar novels such as Henry Miller's The Air-Conditioned Nightmare and Edward Albee's play The American Dream declared that the Dream was no longer genuine and, therefore, no longer functional or valid.

Horatio Alger's blueprint for American prosperity began to lose its momentum to a generation of skeptics who rejected the idea …

This article describes the changes over the past 20 years in the job of reference librarian. Using typical reference questions and quotes from leading law librarians in the early '80s, the author compares current practice and explains the differences in the time, place, and manner of legal reference. Although answering questions may be done today more quickly and efficiently than 20 years ago, the increase in demand and expectations make the job more challenging than ever.
