Advancing Tolerance And Equality Using State Constitutions: Are The Boy Scouts Prepared?, Rachel A. Van Cleave Oct 1999

Advancing Tolerance And Equality Using State Constitutions: Are The Boy Scouts Prepared?, Rachel A. Van Cleave

Publications

The traditional United States Supreme Court analysis for determining whether a group may exclude people from membership on the basis of sexual orientation involves a series of either/or choices. For example, in the context of the exclusion of homosexuals by the Boy Scouts of America, one issue is whether the Boy Scouts is a "public accommodation.' Another issue is whether homosexuals constitute a protected class. This Article argues that independent state constitutional analysis of this issue provides an opportunity to avoid the narrowing effects of the traditional dichotomies, and that courts should directly consider the interests of the parties. In …

The Role Of United States Federal Courts In Extradition Matters: The Rule Of Non-Inquiry, Preventive Detention And Comparative Legal Analysis, Rachel A. Van Cleave Jan 1999

The Role Of United States Federal Courts In Extradition Matters: The Rule Of Non-Inquiry, Preventive Detention And Comparative Legal Analysis, Rachel A. Van Cleave

Publications

This paper argues that applying the rule of non-inquiry to the issue of whether the requested person has been charged is analytically incorrect where the relevant treaty defines as extraditable persons who have been charged or convicted of certain offenses, thus requiring a judicial determination as to whether the person requested has been charged as part of the initial inquiry into extraditability. By contrast, the rule of non-inquiry is typically used to reject arguments of persons who are otherwise extraditable. This issue has not received much analysis perhaps because federal courts are reluctant to look beyond an arrest warrant issued …

Evolution Of International Law: Thailand's Experience At The Threshold Of The Third Millennium, Sompong Sucharitkul Jan 1999

Evolution Of International Law: Thailand's Experience At The Threshold Of The Third Millennium, Sompong Sucharitkul

Publications

In the ensuing pages, an endeavor will be made to ascertain the actual existence, if any, of "perspectives" which can be said to be typically "Asian" in the perception of international law. The exercise will be based on historical facts tending to indicate that "A part of Asia had escaped grosso modo the work of direct European domination." The question to be examined is whether the evolution of contemporary international law presents any specific challenges for one of the oldest Kingdoms of the world, THAILAND or SIAM, as we know it today, and as the European had preferred to call …

The Apparent Manufacturer Doctrine, Trademark Licensors And The Third Restatement Of Torts, David Franklyn Jan 1999

The Apparent Manufacturer Doctrine, Trademark Licensors And The Third Restatement Of Torts, David Franklyn

Publications

In this Article, I argue that trademark licensors should be subjected to liability under the apparent manufacturer doctrine in two situations: (1) when a licensor induces consumers to believe the licensor manufactured the product, or (2) when a licensor induces consumers to believe that the licensor controlled the standards or specifications for manufacturing the product. Under either prong of the proposed test, a plaintiff would be required to show that a reasonable consumer of the licensed product would have relied on the trademark in the requisite manner. Once the plaintiff makes this showing, courts would then presume that the actual …

Using Federal Property Rights Laws For Environmental Justice, Colin Crawford Jan 1999

Using Federal Property Rights Laws For Environmental Justice, Colin Crawford

Publications

The late Ralph Santiago Abascal, who worked for years out of California Rural Legal Services and became one of the most admired legal service attorneys of his generation, was co-counsel in a celebrated environmental justice victory, El Pueblo Para Aqua y Aire Limpio v. County of Kings. El Pueblo successfully blocked the proposed siting of a hazardous waste incinerator by holding that the project's proponents had not translated the public review documents into Spanish in a majority monolingual Spanish-speaking community. Despite this victory, however, Abascal later observed, "The handful of reported environmental justice cases that have raised civil rights claims …

National Incentives To Protect Natural Resources: Preserving Their Place In International Trade, Paul S. Kibel Jan 1999

National Incentives To Protect Natural Resources: Preserving Their Place In International Trade, Paul S. Kibel

Publications

This Dialogue attempts to place the conflict between the principles of negative externalities and comparative advantage in a less theoretical context. To that end, the author examines the relationship between national incentives to protect natural resources and international trade rules that seek to restrict the use of natural resource subsidies. The author further evaluates the extent to which the international trade rules account for the problem of negative externalities, and the extent to which the rules recognize the potentially effective role that national incentive programs can play in correcting market failures. From this evaluation, the author concludes that the legitimacy …

How To Reduce Lead Exposures With One Simple Statute: The Experience Of Proposition 65, Clifford Rechtschaffen Jan 1999

How To Reduce Lead Exposures With One Simple Statute: The Experience Of Proposition 65, Clifford Rechtschaffen

Publications

Human exposure to lead is one of the most serious environmental health threats today. Lead causes a variety of adverse health effects and is particularly harmful to children. Unfortunately, the current regulation of lead exposures is fragmented and often unsuccessful. California's Proposition 65, a right-to-know initiative, however, has achieved some noteworthy successes in reducing public exposures to lead. Proposition 65 has spurred faster and more significant lead reductions than federal law by prompting companies to reformulate products and change their manufacturing processes. This Article first discusses the hazards and uses of lead. The author next describes several instances that demonstrate …
