Nonprofit Fundraising And Consumer Protection: A Donor's Right To Privacy, Ely R. Levy, Norman I. Silber

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

The article addresses an unexplored issue in the burgeoning scholarly debate concerning privacy rights, namely, the privacy concerns that arise when nonprofit institutions trade, sell, or otherwise exploit the personal information of charitable donors. Drawing from the experience of consumers in the sales context, the article considers whether donors who make gifts should be equated with consumers who make purchases, and therefore should fall within the reach of traditional statutory and consumer protections. After analyzing the consumer privacy legal landscape, we conclude that in the context of informational privacy, the interests of donors essentially mirror those of consumers. Any distinction …

The Foggy Road For Evaluating Punitive Damages: Lifting The Haze From The Bmw/State Farm Guideposts, Steven L. Chanenson, John Y. Gotanda

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In this Article, Professors Chanenson and Gotanda propose that courts treat comparable maximum criminal or civil legislative fines as a presumptive due process limit on punitive damage awards. The Article reviews the manner in which courts have implemented the three-guidepost framework for constitutional review of punitive awards laid out by the Supreme Court in BMW of North America, Inc. v. Gore and in State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. v. Campbell. Finding that courts have struggled to articulate a coherent rationale and methodology for review of such awards, the authors propose a greater reliance on the third guidepost of …

Vanishing Vaccinations: Why Are So Many Americans Opting Out Of Vaccinating Their Children?, Steve P. Calandrillo

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Vaccinations against life-threatening diseases are one of the greatest public health achievements in history. Literally millions of premature deaths have been prevented, and countless more children have been saved from disfiguring illness. While vaccinations carry unavoidable risks, the medical, social and economic benefits they confer have led all fifty states to enact compulsory childhood vaccination laws to stop the spread of preventable diseases. Today, however, vaccines are becoming a victim of their success-many individuals have never witnessed the debilitating diseases that vaccines protect against, allowing complacency toward immunization requirements to build. Antivaccination sentiment is growing fast in the United States, …

Child Laborers: The World's Potential Future Labor Resources Exploited And Depleted, Rupneet Sidhu

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

At this very moment, child laborers are working in unsuitable and hazardous conditions in both developed and developing nations. The adults, who are the main medium for giving voice to the concerns of the child laborers at the international and national levels, have failed. However, there are some promising international instruments whose full and sincere implementation can aid nations to eliminate at least the worst forms of child labor. Concurrently improving and enforcing national laws will help as well. Moreover, the non-governmental organizations should be recognized for being instrumental in keeping the child labor issues as a priority of the …

The Mind In The Mind Of The Beholder: Elucidating Relational Influences On Early Social Understanding, Ross Thompson, H. Abigail Raikes

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

Relational experiences shape emergent social understanding and two influences deserve particular attention. First, parent-child conversation about shared experiences incorporates both implicit and explicit information about mental states that catalyzes the social construction of understanding, especially in juxtaposition with the child’s direct experience. Second, emotion infuses the contexts and cognitions about social experiences that provoke the child’s constructivist efforts.

Development Agreements: Bargained-For Zoning That Is Neither Illegal Contract Nor Conditional Zoning, Shelby D. Green

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This Article explores the new model of land use decision-making that is based upon bargaining with the landowner. The fact of a bargain raises the issue of whether such bargaining amounts to “contract zoning” based upon a bilateral contract between the municipality and the landowner, which is largely held to be illegal, or a related form of bargaining, not involving an exchange of promises in the context of a bilateral agreement--“conditional zoning.” Part II of this Article discusses the emergence of the development agreement, which involves a contract with a municipality and the developer under which the developer is assured …

The Judicial Function: Justice Between The Parties, Or A Broader Public Interest?, Richard Zitrin

Hofstra Law Review

Because I intend to be prescriptive (or, when it comes to the esteemed members of the bench who may be in the audience, “suggestive,” since it is they who wield the gavels while I -- as any lawyer appearing before members of the bench -- have only words), I must confess some biases before going further. First, I believe in “sunshine in litigation” and openness of both court records and discovery. I believe that courts are public forums, and that arguments about the privacy of disputes should generally be outweighed by the public's right to know. Some have strongly argued …

Comparing Three Measures Of Depressive Symptoms Among American Indian Adolescents, Lisa E. Thrane, Les B. Whitbeck, Dan R. Hoyt, Mack Shelley

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

This study examined the measurement of depressive symptoms among American Indian adolescents as assessed by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), Youth Self Report (YSR), and the Tri-Ethnic Center’s for Prevention Research Depression Scale (TEDS). This analysis demonstrated that the TEDS had good internal consistency, demonstrated construct validity, and shared a commonality with the other two measures, but had limited predictive validity. The YSR had strong predictive validity but, like the CES-D, showed weakness in construct validity. Unexpectedly, the CES-D and YSR revealed enculturated youth were at risk of depressive symptoms. These findings do not generate unequivocal support …

Victimization And Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Among Homeless Adolescents, Angela J. Stewart, Mandy Steiman, Ana Mari Cauce, Bryan N. Cochran, Les B. Whitbeck, Dan R. Hoyt

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

Objective—To examine street victimization and posttraumatic stress symptoms among urban homeless adolescents and to test whether emotional numbing and avoidance represent distinct posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom clusters.

Method—Structured, private interviews were conducted with homeless adolescents (N = 374) in the Seattle metropolitan area (95% response rate) from 1995 to 1998.

Results— Eighty-three percent of street youths were physically and/or sexually victimized after leaving home. Approximately 18% of these youths met research criteria for PTSD.Results from a confirmatory factor analysis suggest that disaggregating symptoms of avoidance from symptoms of emotional numbing provides a better fit of the data than the …
