Aragonite Pseudomorphs In High Pressure Marbles Of Syros, Greece, John B. Brady, Michelle J. Markley, John C. Schumacher, John T. Cheney, Grace A. Bianciardi Jan 2004

Aragonite Pseudomorphs In High Pressure Marbles Of Syros, Greece, John B. Brady, Michelle J. Markley, John C. Schumacher, John T. Cheney, Grace A. Bianciardi

Geosciences: Faculty Publications

Numerous rod-shaped calcite crystals occur in the blueschist to eclogite facies marbles of Syros, Greece. The rods show a shape-preferred orientation, and the long axes of the rods are oriented at a large angle to foliation. The crystals also have a crystallographic-preferred orientation: calcite c-axes are oriented parallel to the long axes of the rods. Based on their chemical composition, shape, and occurrence in high-pressure marbles, these calcite crystals are interpreted as topotactic pseudomorphs after aragonite that developed a crystallographic-preferred orientation during peak metamorphism. This interpretation is consistent with deformation of aragonite by dislocation creep, which has been observed …

The Day May Come: Legal Rights For Animals, Tom Regan Jan 2004

The Day May Come: Legal Rights For Animals, Tom Regan

Animal Law Review

This article examines the main arguments used for denying moral rights to nonhuman animals, the rights to life and bodily integrity in particular. Because these arguments are deficient, animals should not be denied legal rights on the basis of their presumed moral inferiority to humans.

On Redefining The Boundaries Of Animal Ownership: Burdens And Benefits Of Evidencing Animals' Personalities, Geordie Duckler Jan 2004

On Redefining The Boundaries Of Animal Ownership: Burdens And Benefits Of Evidencing Animals' Personalities, Geordie Duckler

Animal Law Review

Were animals as personalty appreciated in their fundamental distinctions from other personal properties, the law might be able to fashion a more sophisticated set of legal responsibilities for, and rewards of, such ownership. As evidence doctrines on character and propensity expand and contract to address boundaries for these concepts, a fuller potential for property law may be effectively promoted as a result.

Apes, Darwinian Continuity, And The Law, Roger S. Fouts Jan 2004

Apes, Darwinian Continuity, And The Law, Roger S. Fouts

Animal Law Review

This article proposes that the delusional worldview that “man” is outside and above the other “defective” organic beings in nature is completely without empirical scientific foundation. An alternative and harmonious way of being is presented that is derived from the acceptance of the biological reality of continuity.

"…Und Die Tiere" Constitutional Protection For Germany's Animals, Kate M. Nattrass Jan 2004

"…Und Die Tiere" Constitutional Protection For Germany's Animals, Kate M. Nattrass

Animal Law Review

In the summer of 2002, Germany welcomed animals into the folds of constitutional protection. With the addition of the words “and the animals,” Germany became the first country in the European Union, and the second on the European continent, to guarantee the highest level of federal legal protection to its nonhuman animals.

Breed Specific Legislation: Unfair Prejudice And Ineffective Policy, Devin Burstein Jan 2004

Breed Specific Legislation: Unfair Prejudice And Ineffective Policy, Devin Burstein

Animal Law Review

This comment examines breed specific legislation—the unfortunate attempt of legislatures throughout the country to address the valid concern over vicious dog attacks by prohibiting or strictly regulating entire breeds, most often pitbulls. To prevent the tragedies that can occur when a dog attacks a human, legislation must take aim at the heart of the problem, the human owners that allow, through negligence or intentional mistreatment and training, these attacks to occur.

Body And Soul Under The Law, And The Response From Law And Literature In Bartleby, The Scrivener And Billy Budd, Sailor Symposium: The Failure Of The Word, Thane Rosenbaum Jan 2004

Body And Soul Under The Law, And The Response From Law And Literature In Bartleby, The Scrivener And Billy Budd, Sailor Symposium: The Failure Of The Word, Thane Rosenbaum

Faculty Scholarship

The values of the American legal system, and the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, have at least one thing in common: both are unquestionably, if not shamelessly, body conscious. Nothing triggers legal exposure with greater certainty than an injury to the human body. The body is the locus of the law's remedial obsessions. Unless the body is bruised, some scar is left, an essential piece of anatomy is altered, or some damage takes place in a material, external sense to objects that have definable, tangible characteristics, the law is without moral force or conviction.

Understanding The Mark: Race, Stigma, And Equality In Context, Robin A. Lenhardt Jan 2004

Understanding The Mark: Race, Stigma, And Equality In Context, Robin A. Lenhardt

Faculty Scholarship

In its Fourteenth Amendment jurisprudence, the Supreme Court regards intentional discrimination as the principal source of racial injury in the United States. In this Article, R.A. Lenhardt argues that racial stigma, not intentional discrimination, constitutes the main source of racial harm and that courts must take the social science insight that most racialized conduct or thought is unconscious, rather than intentional, into account in their constitutional analyses of acts or policies challenged on the grounds of race. Drawing on the social science work of Erving Goffman and the ground-breaking work of Charles H. Lawrence, Professor Lenhardt argues that courts should …

The Challenge Of Cooperative Regulatory Relations After Enlargement, Francesca E. Bignami Jan 2004

The Challenge Of Cooperative Regulatory Relations After Enlargement, Francesca E. Bignami

Faculty Scholarship

This paper conceptualises European governance as a continuous series of collective action games among national regulators. European administration is theorized as a set of mutually beneficial relations among independent regulators, rather than as a hierarchy of supranational institutions, courts, and national administrators. The collective action approach highlights the importance of certain factors in fostering regulatory cooperation and enabling the common market to become an administrative reality: repeated interactions, monitoring and sanctioning by the Commission and the courts, reciprocity norms, and trust. It also suggests that one of the most significant challenges of enlargement will be to establish cooperative regulatory exchanges …

What Developments In Western Europe Tell Us About American Critiques Of Corporate Criminal Liability, Sara Sun Beale, Adam Safwat Jan 2004

What Developments In Western Europe Tell Us About American Critiques Of Corporate Criminal Liability, Sara Sun Beale, Adam Safwat

Faculty Scholarship

Although corporate criminal liability has been recognized in the United States for nearly a century, contemporary academic commentators have questioned its legitimacy and argued that it is inferior to its alternatives: civil liability for the corporation and/or criminal liability for individual corporate agents. Other academic critics have attacked the present definitions of corporate criminal liability. In other words, although corporate criminal liability has also had its academic champions, it has been under attack in the United States. The situation in Europe poses a sharp contrast.
