The Widening Gap Under The Internal Revenue Code: The Need For Renewed Progressivity, Vada Waters Lindsey Jan 2001

The Widening Gap Under The Internal Revenue Code: The Need For Renewed Progressivity, Vada Waters Lindsey

Faculty Publications

The United States' progressive tax system has been a part of the income tax structure since the enactment of the historic 1913 income tax act and should continue to be maintained today for several reasons. First, a change in the tax system could have adverse effects on minorities and women. Second, the tax system is based on an ability to pay concept, and it is difficult to devise a system that adheres to that principle yet satisfies revenue demands and other considerations. While there have been significant societal changes since the country adopted the progressive tax structure, these changes do …

The arguments for both the proponents and opponents of privatization are explored. Special attention is given to the difficulties African Americans encounter in obtaining disability benefits. The conclusion suggests that an opportunity for improvements is at hand.

Palazzolo, Lucas, And Penn Central: The Need For Pragmatism, Symbolism, And Ad Hoc Balancing, F. Patrick Hubbard Jan 2001

Palazzolo, Lucas, And Penn Central: The Need For Pragmatism, Symbolism, And Ad Hoc Balancing, F. Patrick Hubbard

Faculty Publications

The constitutional right to compensation for a governmental taking of property is relatively easy to apply in situations involving a straightforward, physical appropriation of land for a public use like a highway. However, difficulties arise when governmental action consists only of rules that limit an owner's use of land. In most situations, these limits are viewed as burdens an individual is properly subject to as a citizen and land owner. From this perspective, the exercise of the "police power" of the government, which has traditionally been used to prohibit public and private harms, does not usually involve a taking of …

Cybercoverage For Cyber-Risks: An Overview Of Insurers' Responses To The Perils Of E-Commerce, Robert H. Jerry Ii, Michele L. Mekel

Faculty Publications

With nearly seven percent of the world's population currently online and e-commerce forecast to hit $6.8 trillion by 2004, one need not be Nostradamus to predict that the Internet means great change for all industries - including the insurance industry. Presently, however, the proverbial cart is leading the horse as the insurance industry struggles to develop strategies to quantify, cover, and contain "cyber-risks." Policyholders also face new challenges as they confront the possibility that their traditional insurance coverages are woefully inadequate either to secure their electronic and intellectual property assets or to guard against their potential e-commerce liabilities to third …

Irreconcilable Differences: Congressional Treatment Of Internet Service Providers As Speakers, Raymond Shih Ray Ku Jan 2001

Irreconcilable Differences: Congressional Treatment Of Internet Service Providers As Speakers, Raymond Shih Ray Ku

Faculty Publications

This Article argues that under the CDA and OCILLA, Congress adopted facially inconsistent approaches towards ISP liability for expression. Nonetheless, despite the overt differences, it is possible to discern an underlying principle for determining when ISPs should be considered speakers that reconciles this inconsistency. Put simply, the CDA and OCILLA support an approach toward determining when ISPs are speakers that focuses on whether an ISP exercises editorial control over its network. This approach is evidenced by the fact that both statutes recognize that ISPs are able to exercise editorial control over any and all content on their networks, and both …

The Use Of Placebos In Clinical Trials: Responsible Research Or Unethical Practice?, Sharona Hoffman Jan 2001

The Use Of Placebos In Clinical Trials: Responsible Research Or Unethical Practice?, Sharona Hoffman

Faculty Publications

Developments in medical research have been occurring at a rapidly increasing rate during the past two decades. Expanding budgets, augmented computer capabilities, and new research tools have all dramatically enhanced research technology. Accompanying the proliferation of medical research are increasing concerns about research risks. This article focuses on placebo-controlled clinical trials. The use of placebos enables clinical investigators to compare results from subjects taking an experimental intervention to results from a group that is receiving an inactive substance, such as a sugar pill, in order to determine the efficacy of the new medication. In recent years, some surgeons have also …

Naturalized Epistemology And The Critique Of Evidence Theory, Dale A. Nance Jan 2001

Naturalized Epistemology And The Critique Of Evidence Theory, Dale A. Nance

Faculty Publications

In this article I give a mixed review Allen and Leiter’s naturalized epistemology theory of evidence. I applaud their focus on naturalized epistemology, but I question the claims that they argue follow from it. In some ways, my reaction is that they have not gone far enough in pressing its implications, and I attempt to suggest how further progress might be made along this path. On the whole, I conclude that the antipathy toward algrithms expressed by Allen and Leiter is misplaced.
