Surviving Reality Tv: The Ultimate Challenge For Reality Show Contestants, Jennifer L. Blair

Loyola of Los Angeles Entertainment Law Review

With the popularity of reality television remaining unabated, precious little attention is given to the effects participation as a contestant on a reality television show may have. Although there is a growing body of work concerning the mental toll reality television takes on its contestants, the legal ramifications of such effects have remained largely unexamined. Even as some producers of such shows acknowledge the effects their programming has on their contestants, many hide behind the contracts contestants signed prior to filming, effectively blocking litigation. Further, a favorite defense of producers is that the contestants are not their employees and thus …

Imagined Rights Without Remedy: The Politics Of Novel Legal Claims, Geroge Lovell

Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review

Remedies for civil rights violations are only practically available where government officials choose to empower institutions that can protect those rights. When the Civil Rights Section (CRS) of the U.S. Department of Justice was formed in 1939, almost no federal civil rights law or institutional capacity existed to protect civil rights. This Article uses citizens' letters to the CRS to explore the politics of the CRS's limited and experimental strategy of using litigation to expand federal civil rights protections. Although the scope of civil rights law has expanded greatly since the inception of the CRS, the CRS experience may still …

Essay: Can Human Rights Practice Be A Critical Project - A View From The Ground, Lucie White, Jeremy Perelman

Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review

Critics have condemned human rights advocacy as being a deeply problematic solution to the sub-subsistence poverty that plagues the post-colonial Global South. This Essay discusses the efforts of four economic and social rights advocates working in Africa. Each succeeded by working within, but unconfined by, the approaches of the traditional human rights advocacy framework. The innovative strategies the advocates deployed may promote progressive institutional innovation in the provision of social welfare benefits. Still, single instances of innovation may not have an enduring impact on either extreme poverty or global inequality, the problems facing the Global South.

Automobile Injuries As Injuries With Remedies: Driving, Insurance, Torts, And Changing The Choice Architecture Of Auto Insurance Pricing, Jennifer B. Wriggins

Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review

While mandatory auto insurance laws virtually guarantee the availability of remedies for auto injuries, other types of physical injuries, including those resulting from domestic violence, lack similar protections. By providing a broad array of compensation mechanisms to auto accident victims, the law encourages people to drive more. The rationale underlying that public policy has, however, eroded. Environmental degradation, public health problems, and other costs require overhauling the system. This Article recommends two changes to the auto insurance system aimed at encouraging people to drive less.

Body Polluted: Questions Of Scale, Gender, And Remedy, Dayna Nadine Scott

Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review

This Article offers a critique of tort remedies grounded in feminist theory of the body. It demonstrates how tort law is invested in a notion of an individuated legal subject, which fails to capture the critical interconnectedness of bodies in a social, political, historical, and colonial context. Taking the "injury" of endocrine disruption in a Canadian Aboriginal community as an example of a contemporary pollution harm, the analysis considers various torts on a conceptual level, and what they might offer the Aamjiwnaang First Nation in the way of remedies. In each case, what the tort can do depends on how …

Fear Of Cancer, S. Lochlann Jain

Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review

While the cancer rate and related statistics remain remarkably high, people rarely consider the actual suffering of people living with and dying from cancer as the real sacrifice for, and structural result of, the everyday use of carcinogens such as those in gasoline, pesticides, and cosmetics. On the heels of the recently published President's Cancer Panel Report, "Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk: What We Can Do Now," this Article aims to better understand why "fear of cancer" litigation has failed to accomplish its intended purpose-to distribute the costs of known and potentially toxic chemicals-and examines how the relevant law justifies this …

Hui V. Castaneda: Beyond Cruel And Unusual, Adele Kimmel, Arthur Bryant, Amy Radon

Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review

When immigration detainee Francisco Castaneda died of penile cancer in 2008 after what appeared to be intentional neglect by federal health officials, his family members became plaintiffs in a lawsuit that Castaneda had filed against the United States and several federal Public Health Service (PHS) officers and employees. The suit alleged medical negligence by the United States and constitutional violations by the PHS officials. The PHS officials claimed immunity from suit, and the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held that the family could not sue the federal officials directly and that the only available remedy was through a suit against the …

Deregulation Pas De Deux: Dual Regulatory Classes Of Financial Institutions And The Path To Financial Crisis In Sweden And The United States, Erik F. Gerding

Faculty Scholarship

This article presents the following model of two regulatory classes of financial institutions interacting in financial and political markets to spur deregulation and riskier lending and investment, which in turn contributes to the severity of a financial crisis: 1) Regulation creates two categories of financial institutions. The first class faces greater restrictions in lending or investment activities but enjoys regulatory subsidies, such as an explicit or implicit government guarantee, while the second class is more loosely regulated and can make riskier loans or investments and earn additional profits. 2) These additional profits leads to calls for deregulation to enable the …

Out From Under The Shadow Of The Federal Constitution: An Overlooked American Constitutionalism, Christian G. Fritz

Faculty Scholarship

Most scholars of constitutional law and history equate American constitutionalism with the Federal constitution. This spotlight on the Federal constitution rests on a series of modern assumptions that elevate the status of the Federal constitution over the rich history of state constitutions, and inevitably neglect the central constitutional tenet of the American Revolution - the sovereignty of the people. Viewing American constitutionalism from the perspective of the constitutional legacy of the Revolution suggests a modified paradigm in which state constitutions play a critical role in our understanding the full meaning of American constitutionalism. The idea of a collective sovereign introduced …

Hawk Eyes Ii: Diurnal Raptors Differ In Head Movement Strategies When Scanning From Perches, Colleen T. O'Rourke, Todd Pitlik, Melissa Mae Hoover, Esteban Fernández-Juricic

Department of Animal Sciences Faculty Publications

Background

Relatively little is known about the degree of inter-specific variability in visual scanning strategies in species with laterally placed eyes (e.g., birds). This is relevant because many species detect prey while perching; therefore, head movement behavior may be an indicator of prey detection rate, a central parameter in foraging models. We studied head movement strategies in three diurnal raptors belonging to the Accipitridae and Falconidae families.

Methodology/Principal Findings

We used behavioral recording of individuals under field and captive conditions to calculate the rate of two types of head movements and the interval between consecutive head movements. Cooper's Hawks had …
