Warehouse Receipts In United States Law – Summary For The Pacific-Rim, Drew L. Kershen Dec 2015

Warehouse Receipts In United States Law – Summary For The Pacific-Rim, Drew L. Kershen

Drew L. Kershen

The Second Pacific-Rim Colloquium (January 2015) had its focus on the business structure for warehouses and warehouse receipts and discussions about creating an Electronic Warehouse Receipts (EWR) system, particularly on an “open” or a “closed” system.  The Colloquium identified two legal concepts – “negotiable” and “duly negotiated” – as the ultimate goals for a functioning EWR system.  However, foundations for an EWR system must be in place before legal concepts can become functionally meaningful.


Regulatory Paradigms For Modern Breeding, Drew L. Kershen, Wayne A. Parrott Apr 2015

Regulatory Paradigms For Modern Breeding, Drew L. Kershen, Wayne A. Parrott

Drew L. Kershen

Modern breeding, based upon molecular biology using genetic information, has made rapid advances. Breeders using rDNA techniques properly can think of this technique as traditional biotechnology. Within the past ten years, breeders have begun to use newer techniques [site-directed nuclease techniques (SDNs), RNAi, and synthetic biology] to create and to develop plants and animals with desired genetic traits. In this chapter printed in the NABC 26 Report (May 2015), the authors address the question: What is the appropriate regulatory paradigm for modern breeding?

European Decisions About The 'Whack-A-Mole' Game, Drew L. Kershen Dec 2012

European Decisions About The 'Whack-A-Mole' Game, Drew L. Kershen

Drew L. Kershen

This article reports on several court decisions in Europe that illustrate the seemingly unending delays and barriers, within the EU structure, for genetically-engineered crops. Like the fun-park children’s game—wherein each time the player whacks a mole, another mole instantly pops to the surface so that the player must whack again—each time a producer of a GE crop appears to have approval for planting, another delay and barrier arises.

Convergence Of Agriculture And Energy: Iii. Considerations In Biodiesel Production, Jon Van Gerpen, Allan Gray, Brent H. Shanks, Beth Calabotta, Drew Kershen, Alan Weber, Richard Joost, Todd A. Peterson

Drew L. Kershen

Concern about rising prices and unstable sources of petroleum fuels is driving the search for U.S. domestically produced, renewable transportation fuels, such as biodiesel. Federal incentives of up to $1.10 per gallon have been supplemented by additional incentives and mandated biodiesel use in many states. The Renewable Fuel Standard in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 requires the domestic use of 1 billion gallons of biomass-based diesel fuel by 2012, most of which likely will be biodiesel. U.S. biodiesel production is primarily from soybean oil, but recent high prices have forced many producers to use lower-cost feedstocks such …
