A “License To Kale”—Free Speech Challenges To Occupational Licensing Of Nutrition And Dietetics, Taylor J. Newman, Angela E. Surrett Aug 2021

A “License To Kale”—Free Speech Challenges To Occupational Licensing Of Nutrition And Dietetics, Taylor J. Newman, Angela E. Surrett

St. Mary's Law Journal

State licensing of medical professions has occurred for over a century. Recently, these licensure statutes have been subject to First Amendment challenges, alleging occupational licensure impermissibly restricts freedom of speech. This Comment addresses these free speech challenges, arguing occupational licensure statutes, at least for medical professions, only incidentally impacts free speech—if at all—by permissibly regulating medical professional conduct necessarily requiring speech. Within, the authors ultimately describe, demonstrate, and recommend a legal framework, the other factor/personal nexus approach. This approach helps determine the point at which speech becomes regulable professional conduct subject to licensing, utilizing the nutrition and dietetics profession, and …

Fair Employement Of The Handicapped In Texas., Bennett L. Stahl Jan 1985

Fair Employement Of The Handicapped In Texas., Bennett L. Stahl

St. Mary's Law Journal

The Commission on Human Rights Act may help prevent discrimination against handicapped individuals and ensure they have adequate employment opportunities in Texas. Employment discrimination against handicapped individuals often happens because of unfair job qualifications, or fair qualifications they would be able to meet if employers made reasonable accommodations. Establishing legal mechanisms to ensure fair opportunity for handicapped citizens to obtain employment is a comparatively new goal of American jurisprudence. The Federal Rehabilitation Act in 1973 made significant progress in fair employment practices. Texas made more progress by establishing the Commission on Human Rights Act, which creates a commission in charge …

Economic Pressure In Collective Bargaining: Lockout And Permanent Replacements In The Fifth Circuit., Peter H. Carroll Iii Mar 1978

Economic Pressure In Collective Bargaining: Lockout And Permanent Replacements In The Fifth Circuit., Peter H. Carroll Iii

St. Mary's Law Journal

Congress enacted the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to offset employers’ superior power in collective bargaining with the utilization of strikes and other forms of economic pressure by employees. The Act addresses the balance between the policy prohibiting management from reprimanding its employees for applying economic pressure, and the policy allowing an employer to protect its economic interests for legitimate business reasons. Although the courts have traditionally prohibited certain forms of economic pressure, recent cases have expanded employers’ ability to utilize economic pressure. It is apparent that the extent to which an employer can use lockouts and permanent replacements is …

Workmen's Compensation And Employer Suability: The Dual-Capacity Doctrine., Mary Quella Kelly Dec 1973

Workmen's Compensation And Employer Suability: The Dual-Capacity Doctrine., Mary Quella Kelly

St. Mary's Law Journal

Most current workmen’s compensation schemes allow an employee to sue a third party who negligently caused their injury while still receiving workmen’s compensation benefits. It is logical, then, that when an employee is injured due to the employer’s negligence arising from a second capacity that creates obligations independent from those of an employer, the right to bring a common law action should not be denied. For instance, a doctor still owes his patients the duty of providing good medical care, regardless of whether that patient is an employee. However, the majority of courts continue to reject this “dual capacity” doctrine …
