Vessel-Source Pollution And The Law Of The Sea, John W. Kindt
Vessel-Source Pollution And The Law Of The Sea, John W. Kindt
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
On March 16, 1978, history's worst oil spill occurred when the tanker Amoco Cadiz lost her steering and drifted onto rocky shoals off the French coast. Approximately 223,000 tons of oil were spilled, polluting and ruining over 100 miles of the Brittany coast, an area that previously had supplied one-third of France's seafood and had attracted tourists from all over Europe. Despite all this damage, only thirty million dollars was available for cleanup--none to repair the ecological devastation. Although this well-publicized accident shocked the world, it was only one of many oil spills that occurred during 1978.
By definition, "vessel-source …

The economic crisis in Mexico, which profoundly altered the financial and political course of that nation, has also had a significant impact on persons and corporations having business ties to Mexico. Foreign investors and businesses now are required to follow new Mexican rules that often differ dramatically from those previously in effect. The impact of the crisis has not been confined to changes in Mexican law. A substantial number of issues have arisen that will have significant bearing on United States and international law.
The Special Project discusses the changes in the legal environment following the crisis, with its focus …
The Export-Import Bank Of The United States And South Africa: The Effects Of The Evans Amendment, Anthony N. Vance
The Export-Import Bank Of The United States And South Africa: The Effects Of The Evans Amendment, Anthony N. Vance
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The Evans Amendment is an example of legislation that had the opposite effect of that which was congressionally intended. The Amendment was designed as a compromise to keep the Eximbank in South Africa, but its effect has been the termination of Eximbank activity in that country.
The United States exporters that expected to be hurt by the termination of Bank activity have apparently been largely unaffected because of the availability of other financing sources, particularly within South Africa. As a result, foreign competitors with uninterrupted financing support from their own governments have failed to make significant inroads into the business …

Book Review: The Winding-Up Of Insolvent Companies In England And France, Keith M. Lundin
Book Review: The Winding-Up Of Insolvent Companies In England And France, Keith M. Lundin
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Livadas provides an especially adept analysis and comparison of the treatment of employees of insolvent companies in the two countries. The author convincingly demonstrates that a French "liquidation des biens" protects employee wages, benefits, and claims more extensively than an English winding-up proceeding. The French requirement of compulsory insurance to protect the wages of employees and the special privilege afforded employees against the immovable assets of a French company are without analogy in English winding-up law. Livadas punctuates the chapters on the liabilities of officers and directors, which are generally more strict in France than in England, and the priorities …
Constitutional Limitations On State Taxation Of Corporate Income From Multinational Corporations, Paul J. Hartman
Constitutional Limitations On State Taxation Of Corporate Income From Multinational Corporations, Paul J. Hartman
Vanderbilt Law Review
This Article explores the Supreme Court's treatment, leading up to and including the Container decision, of state taxation of corporate income from multinational operations. Part II highlights the Court's development, prior to 1982, of the basic principles of federal limitations on the states' taxing powers that guided its decision in Container. Part III takes a more detailed look at two 1982 Supreme Court cases, ASARCO, Inc. v. Idaho State Tax Commission and F.W. Woolworth Co. v. Taxation and Revenue Department, in which the states suffered a setback in their efforts to extend the reach of their taxing powers over income …
The Lulling Effect: The Impact Of Child-Resistant Packaging On Aspirin And Analgesic Ingestions, W. Kip Viscusi
The Lulling Effect: The Impact Of Child-Resistant Packaging On Aspirin And Analgesic Ingestions, W. Kip Viscusi
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
In 1972, the Food and Drug Administration imposed a protective bottle cap requirement on aspirin and other selected drugs. This regulation epitomizes the technological approach to social regulation. The strategy for reducing children's poisoning risks was to design caps that would make opening containers of hazardous substances more difficult. This engineering approach will be effective provided that children's exposure to hazardous products does not increase. If, however, parents leave protective caps off bottles because they are difficult to open, or increase children's access to these bottles because they are supposedly "child proof," the regulation may not have a beneficial effect. …

Selective Judicial Activism In The Equal Protection Context: Democracy, Distrust, And Deconstruction, Suzanna Sherry
Selective Judicial Activism In The Equal Protection Context: Democracy, Distrust, And Deconstruction, Suzanna Sherry
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
The equal protection clause, ambiguous in its language and its history,' has over the last three decades been transformed from the "last resort of constitutional arguments' into a significant force in shaping the American response to the continuing challenge of a pluralistic society. This transformation, achieved primarily by the Warren Court, has been effected through development of a multi-tiered theory of equal protection. Beginning with Koremalsu v. United States, the Court has applied heightened scrutiny to those legislative schemes involving suspect classifications or fundamental rights.6 If the legislation involves neither a suspect classification nor a fundamental right, the Court applies …
Adaptive Responses To Chemical Labeling: Are Workers Bayesian Decision Makers?, W. Kip Viscusi, Charles J. O'Conner
Adaptive Responses To Chemical Labeling: Are Workers Bayesian Decision Makers?, W. Kip Viscusi, Charles J. O'Conner
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
A fundamental issue in the economics of uncertainty is how individuals process information and make choices under uncertainty. In a recent analysis of the findings on risk perception, Kenneth Arrow (1982) concluded that the evidence regarding individual rationality was, at best, quite mixed. A prominent example of apparent irrationality of actual consumer behavior is that consumers, who presumably are risk averse, have failed to purchase heavily subsidized federal flood insurance. In the case of the market for hazardous jobs, which is the focus of this study, Viscusi (1979) found that workers' risk perceptions were positively correlated with the industry risk …
Dangerousness And Expertise, Christopher Slobogin
Dangerousness And Expertise, Christopher Slobogin
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
The defendant-first approach advocated in this Article is more difficult to implement than either the current policy admitting any proffered expert testimony or the exclusionary reform advanced by many commentators. It requires some mechanism for apprising the state when the defense intends to use clinical prediction testimony. When no such intent is registered, it demands that any other clinical testimony, whether offered by the state or the defense, be carefully monitored to insure that the dangerousness issue is not raised; it may require revamping other procedures as well.2 " But the defendant-first approach also presents the factfinder with the most …
