Defending Cyberproperty, Patricia L. Bellia Jan 2004

Defending Cyberproperty, Patricia L. Bellia

Journal Articles

This Article explores how the law should treat legal claims by owners of Internet-connected computer systems to enjoin unwanted uses of their systems. Over the last few years, this question has become increasingly urgent and controversial, as system owners have sought protection from unsolicited commercial e-mail and from robots that extract data from Web servers for competitive purposes. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, courts utilizing a wide range of legal doctrines upheld claims by network resource owners to prevent unwanted access to their computer networks. The vast weight of legal scholarship has voiced strong opposition to these cyberproperty …

Blocs, Swarms, And Outliers: Conceptualizing Disagreement On The Modern Supreme Court Of Canada, Peter Mccormick Jan 2004

Blocs, Swarms, And Outliers: Conceptualizing Disagreement On The Modern Supreme Court Of Canada, Peter Mccormick

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

Almost half of the Supreme Court of Canada's decisions are not unanimous, but not all disagreement is of a kind. It makes a difference whether the panel's unanimity is broken by a single dissident, by several judges signing a single set of reasons, or by several judges each writing separately. This article examines the notion of disagreement, suggests a conceptual framework in which the various disagreement formats can be located, applies that framework to the Court's performance over the past thirty years, and concludes with some speculation as to why the Supreme Court of Canada and the United States Supreme …

Probation Restrictions Impacting The Right To Procreate: The Oakley Error, Jennifer L. Levi Jan 2004

Probation Restrictions Impacting The Right To Procreate: The Oakley Error, Jennifer L. Levi

Faculty Scholarship

In State v. Oakley, the all-male four-justice majority held that a probation condition restricting David Oakley's right to have children passed constitutional muster. This Article discusses this question of the appropriate approach to evaluating the constitutionality of probation conditions. The Wisconsin Supreme Court's approach is compared to that of other courts in cases involving, in some way, decisions limiting a probationer's right to have children. The Author concludes that regardless of what constitutional standard or degree of scrutiny courts apply, cases can (and do) go both ways with respect to upholding or striking down probation restrictions on fundamental rights. However, …

Radical Tax Reform, Municipal Finance, And The Conservative Agenda, Eric J. Gouvin Jan 2004

Radical Tax Reform, Municipal Finance, And The Conservative Agenda, Eric J. Gouvin

Faculty Scholarship

Proponents of a consumption tax system to replace the federal income tax typically couch their support for radical tax reform in the language of traditional tax policy goals. They claim that their reform plans promote the goals of simplicity, economic efficiency, stability, and equity. This Article examines how well the proposed tax reforms will achieve those goals in the context of their anticipated impact on state and local finance. The effects on state and local governments of a flattened-rate income tax, flat tax, or a broad federal consumption tax could be enormous and devastating. The Article finds that all of …

Introduction: What Does Oakley Tell Us About The Failures Of Constitutional Decision-Making?, Taylor Flynn Jan 2004

Introduction: What Does Oakley Tell Us About The Failures Of Constitutional Decision-Making?, Taylor Flynn

Faculty Scholarship

The Wisconsin Supreme Court's decision in State v. Oakley, in which the court upheld a probation order prohibiting Mr. Oakley from fathering additional children until he could support them, is a compelling example of a troubling flaw in our constitutional jurisprudence. Absent the countervailing check perhaps provided by the doctrine of unconstitutional conditions, each path of doctrinal analysis, considered separately, arguably leads to the conclusion that the probation order is valid. This is so even though a number of institutional, structural, and process-based considerations converge to render the order's constitutionality highly suspect. The prevailing doctrinal approach is to disaggregate the …

The Family And Medical Leave Act Of 1993: Ten Years Of Experience: Introduction, Pauline Kim Jan 2004

The Family And Medical Leave Act Of 1993: Ten Years Of Experience: Introduction, Pauline Kim

Scholarship@WashULaw

On February 5, 1993, in a Rose Garden ceremony, President Bill Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) into law, declaring that workers “will no longer need to choose between the job they need and the family they love.”1 The signing ceremony was significant for a number of reasons. It marked an early legislative victory for a new administration, signaling its commitment to ending gridlock in Washington. It also symbolized changing priorities: earlier versions of the legislation had twice been enacted by Congress and then vetoed by President George H.W. Bush. With its focus on the needs of …

Justice Scalia On The Use Of Foreign Law In Constitutional Interpretation: Unidirectional Monologue Or Co-Constitutive Dialogue, Melissa A. Waters Jan 2004

Justice Scalia On The Use Of Foreign Law In Constitutional Interpretation: Unidirectional Monologue Or Co-Constitutive Dialogue, Melissa A. Waters

Scholarship@WashULaw

This short essay explores Justice Antonin Scalia's conservative alternative approach to recent efforts by other Justices to utilize foreign and international legal sources in the Supreme Court's jurisprudence. It discusses Justice Scalia's writings and remarks over the course of the 2003-2004 Supreme Court Term: On the one hand, Justice Scalia consistently denounced the use of foreign legal sources in constitutional interpretation, both in his concurring opinion in Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain and in his keynote address at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of International Law. On the other hand, in his dissent in Olympic Airways v. Husain, Justice Scalia …

Towards A Theory Of Journalism As Practice, Rhonda Breit Jan 2004

Towards A Theory Of Journalism As Practice, Rhonda Breit

Graduate School of Media and Communications

The State of the news media survey 2004 has found that journalists in the United States believe "business pressures are making the news they produce thinner and shallower" (Kovach, Rosenstiel & Mitchell, 2004, p. 1). In fact, Kovach et al (2004, p.2) state that an increasing number of journalists identify economics as their greatest concern, with 66 per cent 0/national journalists and 57 per cent of local journalists surveyed believing "increased bottom-line pressure is seriously hurting the quality of news coverage ", This paper seeks to provide a theoretical framework which explains this dilemma. The theory articulated challenges views 0/ …

Monterey County Volunteer Agencies, Alice Mitchell Jan 2004

Monterey County Volunteer Agencies, Alice Mitchell

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

The Federal Probation office was faced with a great problem dealing with offenders. As part of an offender's terms of probation they must complete community service hours. Offenders are required to complete hours ranging from 100-400 hours. The Federal Probation office was lacking a set of resources available for offenders to volunteer. I created an electronic database, which consisted of Monterey County volunteer agencies willing to accept federal offenders. This database helps address the agency's problem of helping offenders complete all terms of probation.
