Overreach On The High Seas?: Whether Federal Maritime Law Preempts California's Vessel Fuel Rules , Bradley D. Easterbrooks Sep 2012

Overreach On The High Seas?: Whether Federal Maritime Law Preempts California's Vessel Fuel Rules , Bradley D. Easterbrooks

Pepperdine Law Review

This Comment addresses whether California’s Vessel Fuel Rules, which require all foreign and U.S. flagged vessels traveling within twenty-four miles of California's coastline to use low-sulfur content fuels, is preempted by the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

“Offsetting” Crisis? - Climate Change Cap-And-Trade Need Not Contribute To Another Financial Meltdown , Victor B, Flatt Sep 2012

“Offsetting” Crisis? - Climate Change Cap-And-Trade Need Not Contribute To Another Financial Meltdown , Victor B, Flatt

The most problematic of the instruments, offsets, can be designed to lessen financial risk from underlying asset failure.


The Practical Effects Of Delegation: Agencies And The Zoning Of Public Lands And Seas, Josh Eagle Mar 2012

The Practical Effects Of Delegation: Agencies And The Zoning Of Public Lands And Seas, Josh Eagle

Pepperdine Law Review

Legislative efforts to delegate zoning power to public land and ocean management agencies have generally proven unsuccessful. When given the power to create uniform-use areas such as parks and wilderness areas within their broader jurisdictions, agencies either have opted not to exercise it or have been extremely hesitant to do so. The tepid administrative response to zoning is not surprising. Zoning decisions are politically charged, are likely to offend powerful, concentrated interest groups, and erode the discretion that is the core of agency power. These aspects of zoning decisions explain why, by contrast, all states require that municipal zoning ordinances …
