Canada's International Forest Protection Obligations: A Case Of Promises Forgotten In British Columbia And Alberta, Paul Stanton Kibel

Publications

Part I of this Article sets forth Canada's,numerous international forest protection obligations. Part II reveals the pattern of forest destruction and provincial government corruption in British Columbia and Alberta. Part III examines why the Canadian federal government has thus far been reluctant to interfere with provincial forest management. The constitutional arguments supporting this "hands-off" policy are assessed and rejected. Therefore, this Article concludes that the Canadian federal government must ultimately be held accountable for provincial violations of international law.

Violence In Coronet City: A Problem-Solving Exercise, Us Department Of Justice

National Institute of Justice Office of Justice Programs

"Violence in Coronet" describes violence as it appeared and was responded to in a major American city in the late 1980's. Although the case is based on real events, it has been augmented both by incorporating statistical information from other cities and by introducing some specific fictional aspects that could have happened in almost any city.

The case was developed to stimulate discussion about how America's cities might best respond to the violence that seems to be overtaking them. Thus, the case combines historical and fictional events to challenge the creativity of those responding to the problem of urban violence. …

The O.J. Inquisition: An American Encounter With Continental Criminal Justice, Myron Moskovitz

Publications

October 3, 1995 marked the end of the O.J. Simpson double murder trial, which lasted 474 days and was billed "the trial of the century. " After less than four hours of deliberation, the jury acquitted Mr. Simpson of all charges. The following article is a dramatization of how a case similar to the Simpson trial might be handled by a civil-law European criminal justice system.

Utilizing an unusual format, Professor Myron Moskovitz examines and illustrates the differences between the United States and civil-law European criminal justice systems. The author uses a play script inspired by the events in the …

State Reactions To The Trading Of Emissions Allowances Under Title Iv Of The Clean Air Act Amendments Of 1990, Deborah M. Mostaghel

Publications

To cut down on the S02 emissions from coal-fired electric utilities, Title IV creates a two-pronged approach. First, it sets a national cap on emissions. Title IV allocates to each utility a number of pollution allowances to emit a certain amount of S02.11 The sum of all the allowances equals the nationwide cap. Second, Title IV recasts S02 as a commodity. If a utility does not need all of its allowances in a particular year, it may either trade them on a public exchange, or it may arrange private sales to a utility that needs more allowances to stay within …

Waiver Of The Right To Appeal, Robert K. Calhoun

Publications

This Article explores the legal and constitutional issues raised by appeal waivers. Section I analyzes the current state of the case law. Section II explores the due process challenge to appeal waivers, and concludes that such a challenge would be difficult to sustain given the current state of due process law. It, nonetheless, goes on to suggest that a key premise of due process theory as it relates to plea bargaining- the presumed equality of bargaining power between the prosecution and the defense-may be ripe for challenge. Section ill discusses the public policy arguments for and against appeal waivers, and …

Some Thoughts On The North American Free Trade Agreement, Political Stability And Environmental Equity, Colin Crawford

Publications

This Article will focus on NAFTA and NAFTA's supplemental environmental side agreement - the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (Supplemental Agreement) -in light of recent events. In doing so, it will suggest that recent events in Chiapas demand a re-evaluation of NAFTA's environmental protections. This is not at all to suggest that stronger environmental protection alone would avert future Zapatista insurrections. The inequities of Mexican land distribution and the poverty of southern Mexican states such as Chiapas have historical roots that will hardly be rectified by more vigorous enforcement of environmental laws.

The argument is divided into two main …

Ideologies Of Professionalism And The Politics Of Self-Regulation In The California State Bar, William T. Gallagher

Publications

This Article is a case study of the California State Bar lawyer discipline system in crisis. The Bar's lawyer discipline system is the official state mechanism for regulating the professional conduct of California's more than 100,000 lawyers. The State Bar in California self-regulates as an adjunct of the judicial branch of government. The State Bar operates in this capacity as a quasi-governmental body while at the same time functioning as a professional organization, of which one role is to represent the collective interests of California lawyers. This is truly an extraordinary status. Unlike most other occupational groups, the legal profession …

The Williamson Act 1993-95 Status Report, California Department Of Conservation

California Agencies

The California Land Conservation Act, better known as the Williamson Act, has been the state’s premier agricultural land protection program since its enactment in 1965. The Williamson Act preserves agricultural and open space lands through property tax incentives and voluntary restrictive use contracts. Private landowners voluntarily restrict their land to agricultural and compatible open-space uses under minimum 10-year rolling term contracts with local governments. In return, restricted parcels are assessed for property tax purposes at a rate consistent with their actual use, rather than potential market value.
