Its Time For A State Environmental Policy Act, Denise D. Fort
Its Time For A State Environmental Policy Act, Denise D. Fort
Faculty Scholarship
What single law should be the first step in protecting New Mexico's environment from the consequences of our cascading population? My nomination would go to a State Environmental Policy Act, commonly called a "state NEPA." These laws are on one level very simple, requiring only that state governments "stop and think" before taking actions with significant environmental costs. After twenty-five years of experience with the federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), however, we know that a law that allows citizens input into governmental action has a profound effect on governmental action.
Nonprofit Hospital Mergers And Section 7 Of The Clayton Act: Closing An Antitrust Loophole, Laura Stephens
Nonprofit Hospital Mergers And Section 7 Of The Clayton Act: Closing An Antitrust Loophole, Laura Stephens
Faculty Scholarship
Nonprofit hospitals developed out of the charitable hospital movement, which began in the mid-nineteenth century.' The early voluntary hospitals depended upon local benefactors for financing.2 Originally conceived as charitable institutions providing long-term care, these hospitals began to change their focus around the turn of the century.3 A changed mission-providing care to all rather than just poor inpatients with chronic problems-required the latest medical technology.4 This in turn demanded increased construction of up-to-date facilities, as well as large operating expenses.
Recent years have seen further pressure on hospital budgets, as the health-care sector of the economy has become …
The "Straight Mind" In Russ’S The Female Man, Susan Ayres
The "Straight Mind" In Russ’S The Female Man, Susan Ayres
Faculty Scholarship
In The Female Man Russ contrasts our present-day heterosexual society with two revolutionary alternatives: a utopian world of women and a dystopian world of women warring with men. The novel functions as what Monique Wittig calls a "literary war machine" because it tries "to pulverize the old forms and formal conventions." Specifically, Russ critiques the "straight mind"—heterosexual institutions that regulate gender—by showing how two representatives from "our world" respond to those institutions. She also shows two alternative worlds that further undermine, but do not solve, the way heterosexual institutions regulate gender.
In responding to the straight mind and to the …

Human Rights Environmentalism: Forging Common Ground, Gabriel Eckstein, Miriam Gitlin
Faculty Scholarship
Since the early 1970s, the international community has widely acknowledged the nexus between human rights and environmental protection. References to this association and even to a human right to some minimal quality of environment, can be found in numerous international instruments. The Stockholm Declaration on the Human Environment, for example, proclaims that human beings have the "fundamental right to freedom, equality and adequate conditions of life, in an environment of a quality that permits a life of dignity and well-being." Similarly, the Additional Protocol to the American Convention on Human Rights states that "everyone shall have the right to live …

Liberating Commercial Speech: Product Labeling Controls And The First Amendment, Lars Noah, Barbara A. Noah
Liberating Commercial Speech: Product Labeling Controls And The First Amendment, Lars Noah, Barbara A. Noah
Faculty Scholarship
As federal regulators impose increasing limits on what manufacturers may say about their products, constitutional protections for commercial speech become ever more important. Indeed, the United States Supreme Court's most recent First Amendment decisions suggest meaningful regard for the value of advertising and labeling as types of protected expression. At the same time, however, federal lawmakers are imposing ever more onerous restrictions on promotional activities and product labeling. The Authors discuss federal law relating to regulation of product labeling.

Reflections Of Irac, Chris Iijima, Beth Cohen
Faculty Scholarship
The Authors discuss IRAC as a tool to help students provide structure to legal analysis. Students use this tool not only in writing objective and persuasive memos and briefs, but also in writing answers to examination questions. The Authors give their comments, highlighted by the “Point/Counterpoint,” which present a wide range of views on the efficacy of this tool.
Instilling An Appreciation Of Legal Ethics And Professional Responsibility In First-Year Legal Research And Writing Courses, Beth Cohen
Faculty Scholarship
The Author suggests that the First-year legal research and writing classes provide the logical forum to remind students of the importance of honesty and integrity both to their work and to the profession and to society as a whole. The Author believes that teachers would do well to take advantage of this unique opportunity to provide such lessons early and often and more importantly, as part of the regular legal research and writing curriculum.
Shrinking Indian Country: A State Offensive To Divest Tribal Sovereignty, Gloria Valencia-Weber
Shrinking Indian Country: A State Offensive To Divest Tribal Sovereignty, Gloria Valencia-Weber
Faculty Scholarship
In Sac and Fox, the Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC) argued that the Sac and Fox reservation was disestablished in the 1891 Allotment Agreement, and therefore the tribe was deprived of a cognizable land base on which it could exercise governmental power immune from the reach of the state. Based on this characterization of the land base, the OTC then argued that it could reach into Sac and Fox land and impose income and vehicle taxes. The tribe, of course, rejected any such characterization of its land base and resisted any attempt by the state to interfere with its sovereign control …
A Square Peg In A Vicious Circle: Stephen Breyer's Optimistic Prescription For The Regulatory Mess, Eric J. Gouvin
A Square Peg In A Vicious Circle: Stephen Breyer's Optimistic Prescription For The Regulatory Mess, Eric J. Gouvin
Faculty Scholarship
This Article reviews the book by Supreme Court Justice, Steven G. Breyer, "Breaking The Vicious Circle: Toward Effective Risk Regulation. " The Author discusses this book's most significant contribution that draws attention to the current regulatory regime's systemic problems, thereby encouraging serious discussion about how to "reinvent" the regulatory process. Breyer courageously points out that the political legitimacy of the process rests to some degree on the effectiveness of its product. This Review outlines the systemic problems and the "vicious circle" identified by Justice Breyer and then proceeds to review his proposed solution. The final part presents several criticisms of …
Of Communism, Treason, And Addiction: An Evaluation Of Novel Challenges To The Military's Anti-Gay Policy, Taylor Flynn
Of Communism, Treason, And Addiction: An Evaluation Of Novel Challenges To The Military's Anti-Gay Policy, Taylor Flynn
Faculty Scholarship
A recent wave of decisions have held unconstitutional the exclusion of lesbians, bisexuals,and gay men in the military when the only evidence of same-sex "conduct" is the servicemember's self-identification as gay. These courts, as well as some pro-equality commentators, have drawn upon three criminal law models by characterizing same-sex orientation as akin to a status and a form of political expression.
The first model relies upon Robinson v. California and Powell v. Texas, in which the Supreme Court announced the constitutional impermissibility of criminalizing the status of addiction to narcotics and alcohol. In the context of military litigation, this model …
The Transformation Of U.S. Banking And Finance: From Regulated Competition To Free Market Receivership, Timothy A. Canova
The Transformation Of U.S. Banking And Finance: From Regulated Competition To Free Market Receivership, Timothy A. Canova
Faculty Scholarship
This article offers a critique of the deregulation of banking and finance that started with the breakdown of the Bretton Woods regime of fixed exchange rates during the Nixon administration, accelerated with interest rate deregulation during the Carter administration, and was deepened during the Reagan administration. Deregulation is seen as a changing of paradigms, from the New Deal regulatory model that limited price competition and channeled credit to socially useful purposes. The monetary and fiscal implications are significant. The regulatory model, particularly in its heyday, served to limit the authority of the Federal Reserve, neutralized monetary policy, and invigorated other …

Domestic Violence And Partner Notification: Implications For Treatment And Counseling Of Women With Hiv, Karen H. Rothenberg, Stephen J. Paskey, Melissa M. Reuland, Sheryl I. Zimmerman, Richard L. North
Faculty Scholarship
Current public health policy encourages partner notification to protect those at risk of HIV infection. Provider experiences with partner notification, domestic violence, and women with HIV compel a reassessment of this strategy. In a survey of 136 health care providers in Baltimore, substantial numbers reported knowledge of their HIV-infected patients’ experiences with domestic violence before and after partner notification. Providers believed that fear of physical abuse, emotional abuse, and abandonment are important reasons why many female patients resist partner notification. Provider opposition to partner notification was strong in cases where female patients faced a risk of domestic violence. The realization …
