Missouri Law Review

This article provides a critique of Professors Feigenson and Slovic's submissions to the Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Fear and Risk Perception in Times of Democratic Crisis Symposium.

Fragmented State, Pluralist Society: How Liberal Institutions Promote Fear, Corey Robin

Missouri Law Review

Fear can be used as an instrument of political repression. The purpose for using it is to target those whose actions or ideas pose a threat to established arrangements of power and authority. Repression is not aimed at ensuring laws are followed but that the powerful are obeyed. There has been a strong consensus among experts about the type of political structure that arouses repressive fear: a centralized unified state monopolizing the means of coercion. However, this is an over-simplification. The state is not the only entity capable of wielding the repressive powers of fear.

Epa Oversight In Determining Best Available Control Technology: The Supreme Court Determines The Proper Scope Of Enforcement, Jennifer A. Davis Foster

Missouri Law Review

In Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation v. EPA, the Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the EPA was authorized to bar construction of a new major emitting facility where it found the state permitting authority’s best available control technology (BACT) determination unreasonable. The Court held that, given the legislative history and plain language of the enforcement provisions contained in the Clean Air Act, the EPA reasonably believes that the state permitting authority has acted arbitrarily in determining BACT. This Note explores the analysis employed by the Court and argues that, in light of the underlying purpose of the PSD …

Brown, The Civil Rights Movement, And The Silent Litigation Revolution, Stephen C. Yeazell

Vanderbilt Law Review

One doubts that Robert Carter, Thurgood Marshall, Spottswood Robinson, Jack Greenberg and the rest of the legal team that argued Brown v. Board of Education spent much time thinking about mass torts. Nonetheless, it is entirely appropriate that a commemoration of their achievements include not only that topic but also international human rights and health care, as well as the more expected ones of education and social welfare. Brown was part of a revolution, and revolutions often have collateral effects as important as their immediate consequences. The civil rights movement followed the same pattern.

As an immediate consequence, that movement …

Human Immunodeficiency Virus In Saudi Arabia, Abdulrahman A. Alrajhi

Saudi Medical Journal

The human immunodeficiency virus HIV type 1 has evolved as one of the most important global infectious pathogens.

Bilateral Posterior Fracture Dislocation Of The Shoulders Following Seizure, Nazzar K. Tellisi, Gehad R. Abusitta, Richard J. Fernandes

Saudi Medical Journal

Bilateral posterior fracture dislocation is a rare injury known to be associated with seizures. Convulsion was found to be the cause of fracture dislocation in 78% of the cases reported. The mechanism of injury was described by Shaw in 1971. The management depends largely on the severity of the injury. In many cases reported, the fracture was a large compression defect in the anteromedial aspect of the articular surface of the humeral head. It has been suggested that for defects that involve less than 20% of the articular surface closed reduction can be attempted. Rush nail or percutaneous K wires …

Putting Flesh On The Bones Of United States V. Winans: Private Party Liability Under Treaties That Reserve Actual Fish For The Tribal Taking, Lindsay Halm

Washington Law Review

One hundred years ago, in United States v. Winans, the United States Supreme Court announced that private parties are subject to the rights reserved by Indians under treaty. Accordingly, tribes enforce their treaty fishing rights in federal court to halt private and government actions that threaten to impair their reserved right to take a fair portion of fish from usual and accustomed fishing stations. In addition to injunctive relief, federal courts may award monetary relief to tribes where Congress limits the treaty fishing right. In general, monetary relief is a remedy against any defendant actor who impairs non-fishing treaty-reserved …
