Toward A Just Model Of Alienability Of Human Tissue, Brian Budds

University of San Francisco Law Review

As the body becomes the stuff of which products are made, the issue of its ownership becomes paramount. To date, the most widely significant authority on the subject is the California Supreme Court case Moore v. Regents of the University of California.4 That controversial, and influential, decision held that use by researchers of cells removed from a patient's body did not support an action for conversion-the wrongful taking and use of another's property. 5 The court stated that a patient who unknowingly has cells harvested does not retain a property interest in those cells."

Musical Sound Recordings As Works Made For Hire: Money For Nothing And Tracks For Free, Scott T. Okamoto

University of San Francisco Law Review

While the entire Copyright Clause has been the subject of extensive academic and judicial dissection, two phrases in particular are relevant to this discussion. "Author" means not only the narrow definition of a writer, "but rather [has] reach necessary to reflect the broad scope of constitutional principles." "[T]he term, in its constitutional sense, has been construed to mean an 'originator," 'he to whom anything owes its origin."' Thus, under this broad construction, an "Author" means anybody who creates an original work; that is, produces something "of one's own independent efforts".

Lethal Injections: The Law, Science, And Politics Of Syringe Access For Injection Drug Users, Scott Burris, Steffanie A. Strathdee, Jon S. Vernick

University of San Francisco Law Review

ENSURING THAT INJECTION drug users who cannot or will not stop injecting have access to sterile syringes is an important part of a comprehensive approach to reducing the transmission of viral and bacterial infections associated with injection drug use. I Seen purely in terms of public health science and prevention practice, ensuring syringe access for injection drug users is clearly an appropriate strategy: both evaluation research and experience in the field show that adequate syringe access produces positive health effects without negative social side effects.

Restoring Power To The Powerless: The Need To Reform California's Mandatory Mediation For Victims Of Domestic Violence, Alana Dunnigan

University of San Francisco Law Review

In California, the intersection of mandatory mediation with domestic violence poses significant dangers on two levels. On a societal level, California's requirement that victims of domestic violence mediate with their abusers has placed a hurdle in the battered women's movement by reprivatizing domestic violence, impeding the progress that is driven by public discourse and scrutiny. On an individual level, mandatory mediation leaves victims in a disadvantageous position, fending for themselves at a bargaining table that fails to promote the safety and welfare of victims and their children.

The Rise And Spread Of Mandatory Arbitration As A Substitute For The Jury Trial, Jean R. Sternlight

University of San Francisco Law Review

THE CVILJURY trial is fast disappearing from our legal landscape, and one important reason for its disappearance is the rapid growth of mandatory arbitration.

Retribution For Rats: Cooperation, Punishment, And Atonement, Michael A. Simons

Faculty Publications

(Excerpt)

To mobsters, he is a "rat"; to drug dealers, a "snitch." To school children, he is a "tattletale"; to corporate executives, a "whistleblower." To cops, he is an "informant"; to prosecutors, a "cooperator." By whatever name he is known, the person who betrays his associates to the authorities is almost universally reviled. In movies, on television, in literature, the cooperator embodies all that society holds in contempt: he is disloyal, deceitful, greedy, selfish, and weak.

The cooperator, though, has long been a mainstay of our criminal justice system. For centuries, criminal defendants have received leniency in return for testimony …
