Regulating Carcinogens In Food: A Legislator's Guide To The Food Safety Provisions Of The Federal Food, Drug, And Cosmetic Act, Richard A. Merrill

Michigan Law Review

On March 9, 1977, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that a study in laboratory rats conducted by the Canadian government confirmed that saccharin is an animal carcinogen. For this reason, the agency stated, the sweetener must be banned from human food.

The studies which Congress mandated, to be accompanied by the recommendations of the Secretary of HEW, are likely to generate a fundamental reexamination of the nation's current food safety policies.

Elimination Of The Highest And Best Use Principle: Another Path Through The Middle Way, Joseph P. Tomain

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

Traditional land use law categorizes governmental activities that affect the value of private property as exercises of either the state's police power or eminent domain power. This dichotomy has created what Professor John J. Costonis describes as the "disparity issue": if in a legitimate exercise of its police power a state reduces the value of land, no compensation is required; if the governmental action devalues land too much, however, it is deemed a taking within the eminent domain power and full compensation according to the land's "highest and best use" is required. Often, this compensation exceeds the land's present value. …

The Plight Of Small Issuers Under The Securities Act Of 1933: Practical Foreclosure From The Capital Market, Rutheford B. Campbell Jr.

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

The thesis of this Article is simple: the Securities Act of 1933 does not work very well for small issuers, a premise which the Securities and Exchange Commission appeared to tacitly recognize in a series of announcements released early this year. Because of a combination of exorbitant costs, unmanageable levels of ambiguity, unworkable resale provisions and contamination caused by prior illegal sales of stock, a small issuer often is unable to comply with the 1933 Act. As a result it may be difficult or even impossible for a small issuer to raise capital by selling stock.

There are obvious pernicious …

Fairness And Unfairness In Television Product Advertising, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The first section of this Note explores the impact of television product advertising on viewer attitudes. The next two sections set forth the statutory basis on which the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission could provide for the effective presentation of contrasting points of view on controversial issues implicitly or explicitly raised by television product advertising, could ensure that the implicit messages of such advertisements are delivered fairly and without deception, and could counter the adverse effects of such advertising. The purpose of these sections is not to predict actual regulatory behavior, for in fact the FCC and …
