The Free Movement Of Goods Within An Ec-Wide Market: Still A Work In Progress, Franz Leidenmühler

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

Right now, somewhere on the territory of a Member State of the European Community, a lorry carrying strawberries from another EC country is attacked by a group of masked men, who force the conductor off the road and render tons of strawberries unusable. Is it an ordinary criminal act to be treated within national criminal law or an invocation of the free movement of goods guaranteed by EC law? Not long ago, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled in a landmark judgment that the free movement of goods requires the Member States to act against such private conduct that …

China's Protection Of Famous And Well-Known Marks: The Impact Of China's Latest Trademark Law Reform On Infringement And Remedies, Alisa Cahan

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines China's efforts to enhance the protection of famous and well-known trademarks, particularly in light of its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its obligations under the TRIPs Agreement. It highlights the challenges China faces in aligning its trademark laws with international standards, including inconsistent enforcement, cultural attitudes toward intellectual property, and the impact of regional protectionism. Despite legislative reforms, such as the 2002 amendments to the Trademark Law and the Implementing Regulations, enforcement remains uneven, affecting both domestic and foreign trademark owners.

Middle School Student Responses To Family Health Questions: The Effects Of Family Caregiving On The Education Of Middle School Students With Family Health Issues, Constance T. Siskowski

Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios

More than currently recognized, family health situations, often compounded with family caregiving responsibilities, affect students' learning and academic performance. Three out of five middle school children (n=3,848) from a large, socio-economically and culturally diverse population sample, responded to the 88-question What Works Survey conducted in 2002, and indicated that someone needing special medical care lived either with them or close by them. Nearly two of five of these students (38.6%) documented that their learning is hindered as a result of their family health/caregiving situation. Among students with family health situations who reported hindered learning, only students who are Asian-Pacific Islanders …

Schizophrenics, Cyborgs And The Pitfalls Of Posthumanism, Angela Woods

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[Editors' Introduction]

In Schizophrenics, Cyborgs and the Pitfalls of Posthumanism, Angela Woods invites us to revisit two canonical analyses of the postmodern: Fredric Jameson's Postmodernism, or The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism and Donna Haraway's A Manifesto for Cyborgs: Science, Technology and Socialist Feminism in the 1980s. Jameson and Haraway introduced to contemporary cultural criticism two posthumanist icons: the schizophrenic, a pathologized victim of postmodernity, and the cyborg, a vision of strategic posthuman subjectivity. In her timely and critical analysis of these articles, Woods challenges the established notion of an oppositional relationship between the schizophrenic and the cyborg. She turns …

The Occurrence And Control Of Disinfection By-Products (Dbps) In Two Water Treatment Plants Utilizing The Same Source, Sam George Khoury

Theses and Dissertations

The influence of disinfection by-products (DBPs) on the operation and design of water treatment plants has been increasing since the early studies by Rook on trihalomethanes (THMs) (Stevens, 1977). Work conducted in the 1980s identified the existence of nonvolatile halogenated organics (non-THM organics), of which the majority produced by chlorination were haloacetic acids (HAAs), within the HAAs, dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) and trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) were the dominant members. Concern over potential health effect led the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to set a maximum contaminant level (MCL) for total THMs and HAAs. The disinfectant/disinfection by-product rule (D-DBP Rule) currently proposed …

Nato Technology: From Gap To Divergence?, Donald C. Daniel

Defense Horizons

A widening technology gap between the United States and other NATO members will challenge the ability of NATO to function as a cohesive, multinational force. Over several decades, great disparities in the funding of defense research and technology by NATO members has produced a widening technological gap that threatens to become a divergence—a condition from which the Alliance may not be able to recover. The technology gap, in turn, is creating a capabilities gap that undercuts the operational effectiveness of NATO forces, including the new NATO Response Force.

With only slight modifications (not additions) to current total defense expenditures, and …

Equality In Culture And Law: An Introduction To The Origins And Evolution Of The Equal Protection Principle, Lawrence Schlam

Northern Illinois University Law Review

To set the stage for this symposium on emerging issues in equal protection, this article introduces the reader to the historic cultural and philosophical origins of the notion of equality in western civilization, the antebellum state jurisprudence on equal protection under law, and the evolution of the meaning and use of the equal protection clause from the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment to the present.

Should Governments Play Robin Hood? The Effects Of The Repeal Of The Estate Tax On Wealth Apportionment, Mark Bernstein

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note explores the debate surrounding wealth disparity and the effectiveness of taxes, such as the estate tax and net wealth tax, in addressing this issue. It examines the historical and contemporary arguments for and against these taxes, drawing comparisons between the U.S. and countries like Japan, Sweden, and Switzerland. The analysis highlights the tension between reducing wealth inequality and maintaining economic growth, ultimately suggesting that a well-structured net wealth tax could be a viable solution to both redistribute wealth and generate revenue.

Effects Of Joint Product Management Strategies On E. Coli 0157:H7 And Feedlot Profits, Wiliam R. Perry, Thomas Marsh, Rodney Jones, M. W. Sanderson, J. M. Sargeant, Dicky D. Griffin, R. A. Smith

Department of Agricultural Economics: Presentations, Working Papers, and Gray Literature

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 on feedlot profits. Fecal samples from 711 feedlot pens in 73 feedlots in Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas were tested for E. coli 0157:H7. Average daily gain and feed-to-gain ratios were computed for each feedlot pen, and managers from each feedlot provided information on various feedlot management practices. Cattle performance and E. coli 0157:H7 prevalence are both affected by feedlot management practices. The indirect effect of E. coli 0157:H7 on potential feedlot profits was determined by measuring the effects of management practices on E. coli 0157:H7 …

Boldly Going Where No Law Has Gone Before: Call Centres, Intake Scripts, Database Fields, And Discretionary Justice In Social Assistance, Lorne Sossin

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

This article focuses on the response of public law to bureaucratic disentitlement. Whether eligibility decisions for social welfare benefits are made on the basis of a face to face interview or telephone intake screening at a call centre, whether the questions are onerous for vulnerable applicants to answer, whether the bureaucratic hurdles can reasonably be surmounted or lead to the de facto exclusion of otherwise eligible applicants, all constitute questions which should be fundamentally intertwined with the question of whether a discretionary decision is legally valid. This is so not only because service delivery models and administrative design may determine …

Inadequate Housing, Israel, And The Bedouin Of The Negev, Tawfiq S. Rangwala

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

This article examines Israel's treatment of its Arab Bedouin citizens living in the Negev desert through the lens of the international human right to adequate housing. The Negev Bedouin, an agrarian indigenous community, is the most socially, politically and economically disadvantaged segment of the Arab minority in Israel. Their precarious situation is rooted primarily in Israeli land planning pursuits that have ignored Bedouin land claims in favor of settlement programs reserved exclusively for the majority population. This article documents the manner in which the overarching legal and political character of the state has led to the development of a legislative, …

What Could American Indian Law Possibly Have To Do With The Issue Of Gay-Marriage Recognition?: Definitional Jurisprudence, Equal Protection And Full Faith And Credit, Robert Laurence

Northern Illinois University Law Review

American Indian law and gay-marriage recognition would not, at first glance, seem to be fields of study related to one another. Professor Laurence, however, finds three places where the two fields conjoin. First is what he calls the issue of "definitional jurisprudence," that is to say how does the law define its key terms "tribe" with respect to American Indian law and "marriage" with respect to family law--and what are the jurisprudential limitations on changing the traditional definition? Second, to what extent do the standard principles of equal protection jurisprudence vary regarding such unique minorities as American Indians, on the …

The Wedding Bells Heard Around The World: Years From Now, Will We Wonder Why We Worried About Same-Sex Marriage?, Mark E. Wojcik

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This article is a historical, international, and timely examination of issues commonly raised by the marriage of same-sex couples in anticipation of the impending changes in this area of the law in the United States. Through a survey of important developments and a comparison of the treatment of same-sex couples vis a vis marriage in various locales, the author argues that fears about recognizing same-sex couples destroying our country or the institution of marriage are irrational, and that it is time now to recognize that same-sex couples deserve the same recognition and protection of the law afforded to opposite-sex couples. …

Affirmative Action After Grutter And Gratz, Mark W. Cordes

Northern Illinois University Law Review

Part one first briefly reviews the Court's affirmative action jurisprudence prior to Grutter and Gratz, examining the Bakke decision, the Supreme Court affirmative action decisions between Bakke and Grutter, and the recent split in lower court decisions on the continuing viability of race-conscious admissions. Part two will then examine the Grutter and Gratz decisions themselves. Part three will then discuss the big picture of race-conscious admissions programs. Section A will analyze the general parameters established in Grutter and Gratz in terms …
