A Birthday Party: The Terrible Or Terrific Two’S? 1996 Federal Telecommunications Act, Kathleen Wallman
A Birthday Party: The Terrible Or Terrific Two’S? 1996 Federal Telecommunications Act, Kathleen Wallman
Federal Communications Law Journal
As we celebrate the second anniversary of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, we can see that the predictions of instant cross-industry competition that were made at its birth were rather euphoric. Despite the unexpected twists and turns of the first two years, there have been a number of significant market developments suggesting that the lowering of barriers that the Act effected have put things on the right course. However, the success of the Act will be rather fragile during the next few years, as it is subject to reversal by market as well as judicial forces. We should therefore continue …

The Form And Substance Of Ethics: Prenatal Diagnosis In The Baird Report, Rachel Ariss
The Form And Substance Of Ethics: Prenatal Diagnosis In The Baird Report, Rachel Ariss
Dalhousie Law Journal
This article analyses the employment of textual tactics in the Final Report of the Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies. The author argues that the Commission uses these tactics to persuade several different audiences that its stance is correct, and simultaneously to manage dissent over new reproductive technologies. Analysis of textual tactics opens the ethical position of the Commission to substantive questioning. The authorfocuses on the Commission's discussion of prenatal diagnosis for genetic anomalies and concludes that the Commission fails to engage with ethical arguments put forward by persons with disabilities and their advocates. The conclusion also encourages the development …

Conciliation Des Litiges Et Formes Alternatives De Régulation En Droit Administratif Fédéral, France Houle, Daniel Mockle
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Despite the considerable attention devoted to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Canada, few studies are available on its impact in public law, especially in federal administrative law. Yet, there is much evidence that these techniques are increasingly used and it is therefore timely to catalogue and classify them. To this end, a distinction is drawn between dispute resolution techniques used for transactional purposes and those used for regulatory purposes. This classification provides the basis for a theoretical analysis which focuses on public law and raises questions generally neglected in the existing literature concerning ADR: the particular nature of federal law, …
Ultra Vires Takings, Matthew D. Zinn
Ultra Vires Takings, Matthew D. Zinn
Michigan Law Review
When does legislative or administrative regulatory action "go[] too far" and effectively amount to an .appropriation of private property for which the Fifth Amendment requires just compensation? This question has turned out to be one of the thorniest in American constitutional law. The Supreme Court has identified several circumstances in which one can expect to find a regulatory taking, but its numerous pronouncements on the subject give no clear rule to distinguish compensable takings from noncompensable interference with property rights. Notwithstanding its volume, the commentary on the Takings Clause by and large addresses only proper governmental action that rises to …
"Validly Adopted Interpretations": Defining The Deference Standard In Aviation Certificate Action Appeals, Denise A. Banaszewski
"Validly Adopted Interpretations": Defining The Deference Standard In Aviation Certificate Action Appeals, Denise A. Banaszewski
Washington Law Review
The split-enforcement model of agency administration creates a dilemma for the adjudicating agency regarding how much deference it should allot interpretive documents promulgated by the agency with rulemaking authority. In 1992, Congress sought to resolve this problem in the area of aviation safety by statutorily mandating that the adjudicating agency, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), defer to "validly adopted" interpretations generated by the rulemaking agency, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Ironically, the statute created even more uncertainty because the term "validly adopted" is vague and remains undefined. Subsequent decisions have not clarified exactly when the NTSB considers itself bound. …
Administrative Law, Terri L. Carver
Administrative Law, Terri L. Carver
Mercer Law Review
The Eleventh Circuit ruled on numerous administrative law issues in 1997, including exhaustion of administrative remedies, deference to agency legal interpretations, and the time period for appealing federal agency actions. The Eleventh Circuit also took a close look at the scope of an inspector general's subpoena powers and clarified the role of agency investigations versus inspectors general investigations.
The Eleventh Circuit decided several cases of first impression in 1997. In a case of first impression nationwide, the Eleventh Circuit ruled that determining the amount of attorney fees in an administrative case was a collateral issue.' Therefore, the issue of attorney …

Food Stamp Trafficking: Why Small Groceries Need Judicial Protection From The Department Of Agriculture (And From Their Own Employees), Elliot Regenstein
Food Stamp Trafficking: Why Small Groceries Need Judicial Protection From The Department Of Agriculture (And From Their Own Employees), Elliot Regenstein
Michigan Law Review
A neon sign in the window of 7-Van Drugs reads "Food Stamps," but the contradictory truth is posted inside on a handwritten sign taped to a thick pane of bulletproof plastic. 7-Van Drugs sits at the intersection of Seven Mile Road and Van Dyke in northern Detroit, where it has "serv[ ed] the community since 1948 at the same corner." Inside 7-Van is an array of staple foods and basic household cleaning items, and there is a small pharmacy in the back. Customers must use a turnstile to pass their purchases through the bulletproof plastic to the cashier. There are …
A Modest Proposal For Restructuring The Federal Communications Commission, Harry M. Shooshan Iii
A Modest Proposal For Restructuring The Federal Communications Commission, Harry M. Shooshan Iii
Federal Communications Law Journal
At a time when the FCC is in the process of implementing the massive 1996 Telecommunications Act, a number of commentators have been calling for drastic change in the agency's structure. There most certainly are legitimate questions about how the modern FCC should be organized. A single-administrator model, which has been successful in the United Kingdom, could provide a more stable and predictable regulatory environment than currently exists. The advantages of a single administrator over a multimember commission are substantial and provide a conservative alternative to calls for the elimination of the agency. Such change would enable the FCC to …
Visible Minorities In The Multi-Racial State: When Are Preferential Policies Justifiable?, Anita Anand
Visible Minorities In The Multi-Racial State: When Are Preferential Policies Justifiable?, Anita Anand
Dalhousie Law Journal
This article outlines the circumstances in which the state is justified in implementing preferential policies in favour of visible minorities and describes an approach to policy formulation. The thesis is that visible minorities warrant preferential treatment in order to rectify past injustices and to redistribute advantages to visible minorities who are chronically poor. "Supply-side" over "demand-side" policies are favoured. Supply-side policies are preferable because they support substantive equality by ensuring that individuals have a minimum level of subsistence. If the goal of achieving substantive equality is to be achieved, the poor should also be entitled to benefit under preferential policies. …
Salvaging The Welfare State?: The Prospects For Judicial Review Of The Canada Health & Social Transfer, Lorne Sossin
Salvaging The Welfare State?: The Prospects For Judicial Review Of The Canada Health & Social Transfer, Lorne Sossin
Dalhousie Law Journal
The Canadian Health and Social Transfer ("CHST"), which came into force on April 1, 1996, contains no national standards relating to the quality of social welfare. The goal of this new transfer was to promote provincial flexibility in the sphere of social policy. The author argues that this flexibility may undermine the core of the Canadian welfare state. Given the preoccupation of the provincial and federal governments with devolution, welfare recipients must turn to the judiciary to determine the "bottom line" of the welfare state. The author explores the various constitutional and administrative law grounds on which the federal government's …

Managing The Iatrogenic Risks Of Risk Management, Jonathan Baert Wiener
Managing The Iatrogenic Risks Of Risk Management, Jonathan Baert Wiener
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Analogizing to concerns that led the practice of medicine to shift from a specialist to a team-based approach, Dr. Wiener suggests that public and environmental health objectives would be better served if, e.g., regulatory jurisdiction were less atomized.

What Ever Happened To The Appearance Of Fairness Doctrine? Local Land Use Decisions In An Age Of Statutory Process, W.T. Watterson
What Ever Happened To The Appearance Of Fairness Doctrine? Local Land Use Decisions In An Age Of Statutory Process, W.T. Watterson
Seattle University Law Review
All states guarantee constitutional due process and fairness for both judicial and quasi-judicial proceedings. They differ, however, on the legal standard of fairness to apply to quasi-judicial proceedings. Many states rely on due process guarantees, that is, a proceeding which is fair in actual substance and procedure. Washington, however, has adopted more of the judicial standard for quasi-judicial actions, requiring "a hearing not only fair in substance, but fair in appearance as well." This "appearance of fairness doctrine" was originally developed within the context of local land use decisions. Later, it was applied to a broader spectrum of administrative proceedings. …

Why The New York State System For Obtaining A License To Carry A Concealed Weapon Is Unconstitutional, Suzanne Novak
Why The New York State System For Obtaining A License To Carry A Concealed Weapon Is Unconstitutional, Suzanne Novak
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The New York State administrative system for obtaining a license to carry a concealed weapon violates the state constitution and the tenets of administrative law vital to a democratic society. This article discusses the failures of the New York State administrative procedures for issuing carry licenses. In addition, this article asserts that by avoiding policy determinations, the legislature has created a system that disadvantages both individual applicants and the public at large. This article concludes that both the New York Legislature and courts must act to rectify the state's unconstitutional and undemocratic scheme for issuing carry licenses.
