Crossing The Line: Issues Facing Entertainment Attorneys Engaged In Related Secondary Occupations, Donna G. Cole-Wallen Jan 1986

Crossing The Line: Issues Facing Entertainment Attorneys Engaged In Related Secondary Occupations, Donna G. Cole-Wallen

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

What restrictions confront entertainment attorneys who become so involved in the affairs of their clients that they either inadvertently or purposely cross the line between personal representation and the functions of a talent agent or personal manager? Artists need protection in the marketplace. Attorneys want to provide such protection but, given current industry practices, they are at a disadvantage to do so. The author explores-the existing statutory, artists' union, and professional responsibility restraints and determines that the time may have come to change the rules. In conclusion, the author suggests alternative measures to alleviate the problem.


Deregulation And The Market Failure In Minority Programming: The Socioeconomic Dimensions Of Broadcast Reform, Kurt A. Wimmer Jan 1986

Deregulation And The Market Failure In Minority Programming: The Socioeconomic Dimensions Of Broadcast Reform, Kurt A. Wimmer

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

While television viewing by minorities is increasing dramatically, the medium is becoming less responsive to their needs. The author postulates that the government's traditional regulatory concern for the rights and perspectives of minorities is being outweighed by a deregulatory trend in television. He notes that the Federal Communications Commission is increasingly permitting the marketplace to shape programming choices-minorities, however, are least able to influence programming through the marketplace. The author uses empirical and theoretical evidence to examine whether an unregulated marketplace would provide minority-responsive programming. He concludes by recommending market mechanisms, such as tax incentives for minority-responsive programming, to facilitate …

Criminal Nonsupport And A Proposal For An Effective Felony-Misdemeanor Distinction, Kirsten Howe Jan 1986

Criminal Nonsupport And A Proposal For An Effective Felony-Misdemeanor Distinction, Kirsten Howe

UC Law Journal

Parents' failure to provide necessary support for their children contributes greatly to the increasing childhood poverty rate in the United States. Nonsupport is a crime in all fifty states, but in California this crime is no longer chargeable as a felony. The California Court of Appeal in People v. Gregori held that Penal Code section 270, which prescribed felony sanctions only for defendants whose parental status had previously been adjudicated, violated the equal protection clauses of the United States and California Constitutions by impairing the fundamental right of access to the courts. This Note discusses the magnitude of the problems, …

Aids Quarantine In England And The United States, Ronald Elseberry Jan 1986

Aids Quarantine In England And The United States, Ronald Elseberry

UC Law SF International Law Review

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) has become a world health crisis. As the AIDS menace continues to grow and popular fears of AIDS mount, national governments worldwide are struggling to create legislative programs to stop the spread of the disease. This Note focuses upon the suggested solution of quarantining AIDS patients and carriers. The author first examines the checkered history of quarantine as a public health solution. Then the author compares and contrasts existing English and American laws which might be applied to quarantine AIDS patients and carriers. The emphasis is on the relative efficiency of such measures and the …


Disabled Newborns And The Federal Child Abuse Amendments: Tenuous Protection, Steven R. Smith Jan 1986

Disabled Newborns And The Federal Child Abuse Amendments: Tenuous Protection, Steven R. Smith

UC Law Journal

The recently enacted federal Child Abuse Amendments of 1984 seek to scrutinize closely parental decisions to withhold lifesaving treatment from seriously impaired newborns. Although the goal of this legislation is laudable, the mechanism it adopts offers only tenuous protection to newborns. This Article first explores the scope of the problem of withholding treatment. It then examines the interests involved in treatment decision-making, contending that there are limitations on parental child-rearing rights and suggesting standards to define when treatment may be withheld. After a survey of the development of federal and state child abuse and neglect statutes, the Article analyzes the …


Tempest In The Laboratory: Medical Research On Spare Embryos From In Vitro Fertilization, Barbara Gregoratos Jan 1986

Tempest In The Laboratory: Medical Research On Spare Embryos From In Vitro Fertilization, Barbara Gregoratos

UC Law Journal

In vitro fertilization ("IVF") raises a host of legal and ethical concerns, among which is the use in non-therapeutic research of "spare embryos" created during the IVF process. This Note first discusses the IVF procedure, the creation of spare embryos, and the types of research that engender controversy. The Note next reviews the current legal status of the embryo, concluding that although the fetus has been afforded some legal protections, its legal status remains largely uncertain. The Note then surveys federal and state regulations that potentially relate to research on spare embryos and finds them inadequate to deal with the …

In Defense Of Dissents, William J. Brennan Jr. Jan 1986

In Defense Of Dissents, William J. Brennan Jr.

UC Law Journal

Critics of judicial dissents argue that the dissent is an exercise in futility that detracts from the legitimacy that the law requires and from the prestige of the institution that issues the law. Justice Brennan, the third annual Mathew 0. Tobriner Memorial Lecturer, defended the role of dissents by discussing their functions and importance to the judicial process. He explained how the dissent directs attention to perceived difficulties with the majority's opinion and emphasizes the limits of a majority decision that sweeps, so far as the dissenters are concerned, unnecessarily broadly. Furthermore, by infusing different ideas and methods of analysis …


Content-Neutral Public Forum Regulations: The Rise Of The Aesthetic State Interest, The Fall Of Judicial Scrutiny, Harold L. Quadres Jan 1986

Content-Neutral Public Forum Regulations: The Rise Of The Aesthetic State Interest, The Fall Of Judicial Scrutiny, Harold L. Quadres

UC Law Journal

In its landmark decision in City Council v. Taxpayers for Vincent, the United States Supreme Court upheld a Los Angeles city ordinance prohibiting the temporary placement of political posters on the public streets. Disregarding the strong protection that it traditionally had bestowed on political speech in such public forums, the Court upheld the ordinance because it was narrowly tailored to serve the city's significant interests in promoting aesthetic values. This Article argues that Vincent represents an unjustified departure from established first amendment analysis. The Article describes how the Court's increasing protection of certain categories of speech has weakened the protections …


Rebuilding The Wall Between Church And State: Public Sponsorship Of Religious Displays Under The Federal And California Constitutions, Harry Simon Jan 1986

Rebuilding The Wall Between Church And State: Public Sponsorship Of Religious Displays Under The Federal And California Constitutions, Harry Simon

UC Law Journal

In the landmark decision of Lynch v. Donnelly, the United States Supreme Court upheld the maintenance of a Nativity scene on land owned by a nonprofit corporation with public funds from the city of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. This Note argues that the Court's decision in Lynch represents a radical departure from traditional establishment clause analysis and undermines the continuing separation of church and state under federal law. This Note observes that, in contrast to the federal Constitution, many state constitutions contain explicit prohibitions on government activities that aid religion. California courts have interpreted the California Constitution to prohibit a variety …
