Reflected In A River: Agency Accountability And The Tva Tellico Dam Case, Zygmunt J.B. Plater
Reflected In A River: Agency Accountability And The Tva Tellico Dam Case, Zygmunt J.B. Plater
Zygmunt J.B. Plater
Legal history is usually written from one of two time perspectives: as a narrative of events and changing conditions over a span of years or as an extended exploration of one fertile moment in time. In examining the intriguing entity known as the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), this article draws upon that chronological history to some extent. To a greater extent, however, it focuses upon revealing moments in the last six years of the long-running battles over completion of the TVA’s Tellico dam, which finally flooded the last remaining stretch of the Little Tennessee River Valley in the spring of …

The Earth has entered the anthropocene era; the era in which human activities have begun to have a significant global impact of the Earth’s climate and ecosystems. Covering more than 60% of the Earth’s surface, the oceans comprise a complex, dynamic and vast component of the Earth’s ecological system, second in size only to the global atmosphere. The oceans are a major provider of ecosystem services, food, mineral and other resources, and a major medium for global transportation and communication. Nevertheless, while once thought inexhaustible, unlimited and capable of supporting any human activity or use, it is now clear that …

Angelo Giampietro Avv.

It was decided per Bingham L J in T M Noten BV v Harding that the dominant cause of the loss is to be determined by “applying the common sense of a business or seafaring man.” In determining the proximate cause of the loss, The Court recognized that it had to find the cause that was proximate in efficiency, and to do so they had to apply the test of the sentence expressed by Bingham LJ. Nevertheless, at the light of the recent decision of the Supreme …

Teaching And Learning The Law Of Boats, Robert Anderson
Robert Anderson IV
I have taught admiralty and maritime law exactly twice. That experience hardly makes me an expert in training future proctors.

In this essay, I hope to explain how and why I teach admiralty differently, with the hope of offering …
