Wikipedia In Court: When And How Citing Wikipedia And Other Consensus Websites Is Appropriate, Jason C. Miller, Hannah B. Murray

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

Accordingly, this Article lays out a process for determining when it is and when it is not appropriate to cite Wikipedia and other similar online sources. Part II reviews the history of Wikipedia and controversies caused by citing it. Part III offers a proper citation format and proposes a common sense framework to decide when citing Wikipedia is appropriate. Part IV applies this framework in the context of a variety of actual court cases that cited Wikipedia and shows how the same concepts apply to other consensus-based websites like Urban Dictionary.

Enforcing Rights: A Case For Private Rights Of Action Under Section 253 Of The Federal Telecommunications Act Of 1996, James E. Lippert

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

Part I of this Note provides background on the meaning of section 253 and the current law regarding private rights of action. It also briefly discusses the unique problems presented for private rights of action where the underlying legislation is passed pursuant to the Spending Clause—which was at issue in Gonzaga. Part II discusses whether the circuit courts allow telecommunications providers a private right of action under section 253. Some pre-Gonzaga courts granted a private right of action for telecommunications providers when a state or local government exceeded its safe harbor to manage a public right-of way under …

Vice Presidential Secrecy: A Study In Comparative Constitutional Privilege And Historical Development, Roy E. Brownell Ii

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

Ultimately, this Article concludes that, while Vice Presidents have become embroiled in ever more frequent contests over information, VPP has not been officially invoked. Nonetheless, episodes involving Vice Presidents Humphrey, Agnew, Rockefeller, and Cheney all to varying degrees seem to have implicitly recognized that such a privilege exists; in this vein, they would appear to have “reserved the right” for future Vice Presidents to make such an assertion. At a broader level, the growing frequency of these clashes over the past several decades demonstrates the growing significance of the vice presidency over time and the position’s greater involvement in …

Putting Melendez-Diaz On Ice: How Autopsy Reports Can Survive The Supreme Court's Confrontation Clause Jurisprudence, George M. Tsiatis

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

This Note examines how the Supreme Court’s holding in the Melendez-Diaz case has impacted autopsy reports as evidentiary tools in criminal cases. Part I offers some background on autopsy reports and forensic pathology, discusses key evidentiary rules, and the history of the Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause leading up to Melendez-Diaz. Part II explores the breadth and consequences of Melendez-Diaz, particularly as they impact autopsy reports. Part III analyzes how autopsy reports differ fundamentally from many other types of forensic reports, notably because of policy issues they implicate. Finally, Part IV defines and presents the “lean rule” as …

Feres And The Privacy Act: Are Military Personnel Records Protected?, Eric Juergens

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

This Note contends that Uhl and Cummings are actually in harmony, and therefore, the Feres doctrine should apply to bar some claims under the Privacy Act, but not others. Claims by military personnel under the Privacy Act should be barred when the records are released solely within the military structure because the release is truly “incident to service” and invokes the rationales of the Feres doctrine. In cases where the military releases a serviceperson’s records to persons outside the military, however, the rationales of Feres are not applicable and should not bar recovery. Part I explores the background of …

Who May We Detain And How: Lessons From Post 9/11 Enemy Combatant Jurisprudence For New York's Civil Commitment Of Sex Offenders, Samantha Alessi

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

Part I of this Note discusses the passage and provisions of the New York Sex Offender Management and Treatment Act. It also provides a brief discussion of the two Supreme Court cases directly addressing civil confinement of sex offenders. Part II analyzes how the 9/11 enemy combatant cases can be used to determine the constitutionality of the New York statute. Part III considers some actual and potential challenges to the New York law, with responses drawn from the reasoning of the Supreme Court’s detainee cases.

The Financial Meltdown Of 2008 And The Government's Intervention: Much Needed Relief Or Major Erosion Of American Corporate Law? The Continuing Story Of Bank Of America, Citigroup, And General Motors, Janet E. Kerr

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

This Article explores these questions and more with respect to the current role the government is playing in three corporations—Bank of America, General Motors, and Citigroup— and the relevant issues raised within corporate law. Specifically, this Article discusses whether boards of directors may have acted in such a way that potentially breaches traditional fiduciary duties—duties of due care, loyalty, and good faith—and whether the business judgment rule still protects these boards when they were pressured by the government. Furthermore, this Article also explores whether there were violations under Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the duty …

Giving An Inch, Then Taking A Mile: How The Government's Unrestricted Recovery Of Conditional Medicare Payments Destroys Plaintiffs' Chances At Compensation Through The Tort System, Nicole Miklos

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

This Note argues that the government's recovery of conditional Medicare payments should be limited to those settlement proceeds designated for past medical expenses, calling for a reconciliation of the government's financial interests and the plaintiffs compensatory interests in the tort system. Part I of this Note discusses the evolution of Medicare's and Medicaid's role as public medical insurance programs. This Part also examines the confusion regarding the extent of the government's reimbursement rights. Part II addresses the Supreme Court's recent decision in Arkansas Department of Health & Human Services v. Ahlborn, which held that Medicaid reimbursements are limited …

Spendthrift Trust: An Alternative To The Nba Age Rule, Susan Mcaleavey

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

This Note argues that the NBA Age Rule has created a problem for which a legal solution exists: the adoption of a spendthrift trust system. The NBA Age Rule fails to achieve the NBA's goal of protecting amateur players. Instead, it merely limits potential and growth for both the NBA and aspiring players. Part I details the history and rationale behind the NBA Age Rule. Part II analyzes the inefficiency of the NBA Age Rule and demonstrates how the NBA Age Rule unfairly denies amateur players the opportunity to play in the NBA. Part III outlines a spendthrift trust …

Incompetence To Maintain A Divorce Action: When Breaking Up Is Odd To Do, Douglas Mossman, Amanda N. Shoemaker

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

Given the increasing possibility that divorce petitions may be initiated by individuals like Mr. Doe, this Article suggests that domestic relations law should recognize a distinct, potential form of legal incompetence: incompetence to maintain a divorce action. In Part II, we review the social and legal trends just mentioned that may make incompetence to divorce a more likely phenomenon in the twenty-first century than would have been the case in previous times. Part III explains what types of psychiatric conditions might generate the mental problems experienced by Mr. Doe; conditions that might profoundly affect a sufferer's judgment about certain …

What Is Property? Property Is Theft: The Lack Of Social Justice In U.S. Eminent Domain Law, Janet Thompson Jackson

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

The first part of this Article examines private property rights and the tension between individual and governmental interests. The second part explores the ideals and evolution of justice and social justice. This Section gives historical account of justice and social justice to provide a framework for those principles as they relate to eminent domain law. Part III looks at the introduction of social justice into American jurisprudence and addresses two ways in which social justice has been advanced in the United States: through social movements and through legal reform. In this Section, I give examples of how those vehicles …

Benefits Of "Improved" Grazing--More Important Now Than Ever!, Garry D. Lacefield

Kentucky Grazing Conference

At this Conference twelve years ago I talked about the “Benefits of Improved Grazing”. We have had aspects of that theme at every Kentucky Grazing Conference since and also emphasized that message at 10 Heart of America Grazing Conferences and three National Grazing Conferences. With all that emphasis, why do I bring this up again and even have the nerve to say “More Important Now than Ever”? Well, the short answer is “things are different now!”

Nursing Workload And The Changing Health Care Environment: A Review Of The Literature, Denise Neill

Administrative Issues Journal

Changes in the health care environment have impacted nursing workload, quality of care, and patient safety. Traditional nursing workload measures do not guarantee efficiency, nor do they adequately capture the complexity of nursing workload. Review of the literature indicates nurses perceive the quality of their work has diminished. Research has looked at tasks associated with nursing work, but not the nurse’s perception of workload demands. Human factors research principles examine cognitive and perceptual abilities needed to meet the workload demands. A human factors framework focuses on mental demands and adds an understanding of why some demands are handled easily while …
