Privacy Implications Of Smart Meters, Cheryl Dancey Balough
Privacy Implications Of Smart Meters, Cheryl Dancey Balough
Chicago-Kent Law Review
Many people worry about the erosion of privacy in our society given developments in technology, but that loss of privacy may take a quantum leap as electric "smart meters" make it possible for strangers to know on a real-time basis what is occurring in our houses and apartments. Perhaps the greatest concern is that current laws and regulations do not fully protect us from this unprecedented threat to two of our most basic rights—to be left alone in our own homes and to control personal information. Utility companies across the country are replacing conventional electric meters with smart meters designed …
Of Nesting Dolls And Trojan Horses: A Survey Of Legal And Policy Issues Attendant To Vehicle-To-Grid Battery Electric Vehicles, Bryan Lamble
Of Nesting Dolls And Trojan Horses: A Survey Of Legal And Policy Issues Attendant To Vehicle-To-Grid Battery Electric Vehicles, Bryan Lamble
Chicago-Kent Law Review
2010 will not be remembered as the year when the domestic energy landscape changed, dominated as it was by environmental catastrophe and human calamity and tragedy caused by the search for and extraction of traditional fossil fuels. In fact, clean(er) energy and greater efficiency seem, in some ways, to be less of a reality at the beginning of the second decade of the twenty-first century than many would have predicted (and hoped). Furthermore, a contentious mid-term election season (stoked by fears of massive deficits, rising national debt and ballooning government) dominated the headlines at the expense of what could prove …
The Legal-Political Barriers To Ramping Up To Hydro, Dan Tarlock
The Legal-Political Barriers To Ramping Up To Hydro, Dan Tarlock
Chicago-Kent Law Review
Hydroelectric energy is the oldest major source of non-carbon, renewable energy and is the only conventional renewable resource in the current energy mix. Increased hydro capacity would seem to be a key element of any United States energy policy designed to promote the greater use of renewable resources. However, for several decades hydro has been perceived as a mature, fully developed technology. This article argues that any effort to stimulate substantial new hydro capacity will face a series of environmental legal and policy constraints. Efforts to adapt to global climate change will further complicate efforts to increase hydro electric generation. …
The Roberts Court's Failed Innocence Project, Janet C. Hoeffel
The Roberts Court's Failed Innocence Project, Janet C. Hoeffel
Chicago-Kent Law Review
In this article, Professor Hoeffel discusses the Roberts Court's obvious struggle with its actual innocence jurisprudence. It is a struggle that was only theoretical in the days before DNA exonerations. While the Court had two opportunities to clarify the role of wrongful convictions in the criminal justice system, it has declined to do so. In House v. Bell, the Court ratcheted up the standard of proof for freestanding constitutional claims of innocence to a level no petitioner could understand, much less meet. Then, in District Attorney's Office for the Third Judicial District v. Osborne, the Court held that …
Development Of Ectogenesis: How Will Artificial Wombs Affect The Legal Status Of A Fetus Or Embryo?, Jessica H. Schultz
Development Of Ectogenesis: How Will Artificial Wombs Affect The Legal Status Of A Fetus Or Embryo?, Jessica H. Schultz
Chicago-Kent Law Review
Scientists are currently attempting to create an artificula womb which would allow fetal development to occur independent of a woman's womb. This note analyzes legal questions which would emerge with this new technology, including how artificial wombs would affect the interests of the father and the state in the fetus; whether contracts involving artificial wombs would be enforceable; and what type of liability issues would arise due to artificial womb use. Finally, the note proposes answers for these questions and concludes that the development of artificial wombs will likely complicate rather than resolve issues surrounding reproductive rights and the legal …
It's Not Just Hair: Historical And Cultural Considerations For An Emerging Technology, Deborah Pergament
It's Not Just Hair: Historical And Cultural Considerations For An Emerging Technology, Deborah Pergament
Chicago-Kent Law Review
History reflects the social, religious and political importance of human hair. Individuals have used hairstyles to flaunt social conventions about gender, race, sexual identity, and social status. Totalitarian governments have regulated hairstyles as a means of social control and dehumanization. Today, advances in technology now make it possible to discover information about an individual's current or potential health status. Judicial decisions and administrative regulations offer individuals limited protection from state or institutional intrusion into the information revealed by genetic hair analysis. This Article argues that the explosion of technologies that use hair to reveal intimate details of an individual's biological …
