Three Milestones In The History Of Privacy In The United States, Vernon Valentine Palmer

Vernon Palmer

Over the course of more than 120 years the right of privacy has somehow acquired, absorbed and incorporated various tangential interests such as the right to control use of one’s name, one’s image, one’s writings, one’s life story, and even the right to exploit one’s own publicity value. Obviously those who seek to capitalize upon the publicity value of their name or talent are not in fact seeking privacy in the usual sense of the word, and yet American tort law protects the publicity right either in the name of privacy or describes it as a related offshoot. Somewhat more …

From Ship To Shore: Reforming The National Contingency Plan To Improve Protections For Oil Spill Cleanup Workers, Rebecca Bratspies, Alyson Flournoy, Thomas Mcgarity, Sidney A. Shapiro, Rena I. Steinzor, Matthew Shudtz

Rena I. Steinzor

Eleven workers died on April 20, 2010, when the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling platform exploded beneath them. Since then, tens of thousands of workers have toiled under difficult conditions to stop the leak and clean up the mess. For these workers, the spill is more than an environmental and economic disaster; it poses straightforward and serious risks to their health and safety. Oil is toxic, as are the dispersants used liberally by BP to contain it. BP’s foul up is not the first significant oil spill in the nation’s history, nor even the first in the Gulf. The oil companies …

The Prime Minister As Puppet: Taking Howard To The High Court, Nicole Rogers

Dr Nicole Rogers

The author examines a constitutional oddity, the common informer suit. This mechanism allows a member of the public the opportunity to challenge the right of a Member of Parliament to continue to sit in the event that he or she meets one of the grounds for disqualification in section 44 of the Australian Constitution. The author evaluates the use of the common informer suit as a means by which any person can mount a challenge in the High Court against the Prime Minister, John Howard. The relevant ground for disqualification is the second limb of section 44(i), which disqualifies Members …

Are Registered Representatives Subject To The Fair Labor Standards Act?, Barry R. Temkin

Barry R. Temkin

Are registered securities representatives entitled to time and a half pay for working overtime? The concept seems foreign to white-collar workers in the financial services industry, most of whom are professionals or paid on the basis of commissions, or both. Yet a spate of recent federal collective actions has roiled the securities industry, challenging long-held assumptions about the applicability of minimum wage and hour laws to what had traditionally been thought of as a white-collar industry. Some federal courts have applied the overtime and minimum wage requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act to financial advisors. Recent cases applying the …
