For The Sake Of Your Health: Erisa's Preemption Provisions, Hmo Accountability, And Consumer Access To State Law Remedies, Elaine Gareri Kenney Jan 2003

For The Sake Of Your Health: Erisa's Preemption Provisions, Hmo Accountability, And Consumer Access To State Law Remedies, Elaine Gareri Kenney

University of San Francisco Law Review

ERISA was enacted in 1974 as a response to fraud and abuse that occurred in employee pension funds. At the time, it was hailed as a much-needed reform of the entire employee pension fund system. Although most of ERISA's provisions govern the administration of employer-offered pension funds, it also regulates non-pension employee benefits such as disability and health insurance plans. As a result, those seventy-three million Americans, like the Corcorans, who obtain health care through an employer-offered benefit plan contracted through an outside provider are subject to these provisions. In the area of health care, ERISA's promise of protection has …


California Arbitration Reform: The Aftermath, Ruth V. Glick Jan 2003

California Arbitration Reform: The Aftermath, Ruth V. Glick

University of San Francisco Law Review

NOT TOO LONG ago, the only mandatory pre-dispute arbitration clause imposed on consumers was found in documents used to open an account in a securities brokerage firm or in a contract that Kaiser Permanente patients must sign in order to receive medical treatment. Today these imposed arbitration clauses are found everywhere, forcing individuals to forgo a civil lawsuit and pursue any legal action through arbitration. When you buy a house, take a job, open a bank account, receive health care, sign up for telecommunications service, and even purchase season football tickets, you may be required to accept a dispute resolution …

Work In The 21st Century- Creating The Social Architecture, Maria L. Ontiveros

Gender, Work, And The Nafta Labor Side Agreement, Kate E. Andrias

University of San Francisco Law Review

Women, especially women of color, are the most exploited laborers in the global economy generally, and in North America specifically. Women predominate among maquiladoras in export-processing zones in Mexico and in sweatshops in the United States. Female laborers, such as office cleaners and chambermaids in luxury hotels, support the American institutions of international finance, in today's "global cities."

Officer, Where's My Stuff - The Constitutional Implications Of A De Facto Property Disability For Homeless People, Kevin Bundy Jan 2003

Officer, Where's My Stuff - The Constitutional Implications Of A De Facto Property Disability For Homeless People, Kevin Bundy

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

As municipalities across the nation employ increasingly aggressive anti-homeless policies, homeless people are suffering seizure and destruction of their personal belongings without due process or compensation. Courts generally have not proven receptive to homeless people's claims based on loss of personal property, in some instances refusing to recognize that the homeless can exercise any legally protected property interest at all. Homeless existence itself-a lack of private, defensible space in which to perform basic life functions and secure ownership over personal belongings-leaves homeless people with no legally sanctioned place in which to dwell, and exposes them to arbitrary deprivations of whatever …

Refugee Policy And Cultural Identity: In The Voice Of Hmong And Iu Mien Young Adults, Bill Ong Hing

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

U.S. refugee admission and resettlement policies have helped to shape the cultural identities of refugees in America in unanticipated ways. In this article, the author examines the effects of these policies on the young adult members of two small Laotian refugee groups-the Hmong and the Iu Mien. After reviewing the ad hoc admission and resettlement programs of the federal government, the author reviews a collection of interviews of young college students and discovers a range of attitudes on identity, mainstream culture, religion, and the desire to maintain ethnic culture. The cultural identity being developed by Ju Mien and Hmong young …
