Technology On The Factory Floor Iii: Technology Use And Training In Us Manufacturing Firms, Paul Swamidass

Paul Swamidass

This is the third issue of the Technology on the Factory Floor series. The study was sponsored by the Manufacturing Institute and the National Science Foundation.

The Limits Of Charity Fiduciary Law, Evelyn Brody Mar 1998

The Limits Of Charity Fiduciary Law, Evelyn Brody

Evelyn Brody

Trustees of charitable trusts and directors of nonprofit corporations operate under legal regimes designed for their for-profit cousins. In the absence of private beneficiaries or shareholders to look after their own interests, however, charity fiduciaries frequently escape accountability for their self-dealing and neglect or mismanagement. Few charities have members endowed with voting rights, and state attorneys general have limited resources to devote to monitoring the nonprofit sector. Similarly, at the federal level, the Internal Revenue Service is a tax collector, not a policing agency (although its new powers to tax excess benefits will undoubtedly draw it further into charity operations). …

Domestic Partnership And Same-Sex Relationships: A Marketplace Innovation And A Less Than Perfect Institutional Choice, Nancy J. Knauer Jan 1998

Domestic Partnership And Same-Sex Relationships: A Marketplace Innovation And A Less Than Perfect Institutional Choice, Nancy J. Knauer

Nancy J. Knauer

The struggle for the recognition and protection of same-sex relationships is at the forefront of the contemporary gay and lesbian civil rights agenda. Whereas the push for same-sex marriage and parenting rights has met with mixed results in the courts and the legislatures, an impressive array of organizations, including Fortune 500 companies, colleges, nonprofit corporations, and municipalities, now extend benefits to the same-sex partners of their employees. This level of success raises a provocative question regarding the potential role of institutional employers in the larger on the agenda for progressive social change. Domestic partnership benefits are a creature of the …


The Rise And Fall And Perhaps Rise Again Of The "Blindfold Rule" In Modified Comparative Fault Cases: A Proposed Experiment, Jordan Leibman, Robert Bennett, Richard Fetter Dec 1997

The Rise And Fall And Perhaps Rise Again Of The "Blindfold Rule" In Modified Comparative Fault Cases: A Proposed Experiment, Jordan Leibman, Robert Bennett, Richard Fetter

Robert B. Bennett

... Wyoming and Illinois are among the states that maintain systems of modified comparative fault. ... The experiment also provides a comparative measure of the economic effects of the four principal defensive rule regimes: (1) contributory-negligence-as-a-complete-defense; (2) pure comparative fault; (3) modified comparative fault under the blindfold rule; and (4) modified comparative fault under a sunshine rule. ... So, when the Wisconsin legislature, in 1931, enacted a modified comparative fault law, a blindfold rule automatically came into effect in cases where special verdicts were submitted. ... The language of section 1-7.2 of the statute closely followed the Wisconsin law with …

Taxing Personhood: Estate Taxes And The Compelled Commodification Of Identity, Ray D. Madoff Dec 1997

Taxing Personhood: Estate Taxes And The Compelled Commodification Of Identity, Ray D. Madoff

Ray D. Madoff

In this Article, Professor Madoff explores the ways in which the blunt tools of the wealth tax, and in particular the estate tax, uses a one-size-fits-all system to impose a tax on all property interests owned at the time of one’s death. Professor Madoff illustrates the ways in which these blunt tools can produce problematic results by examining their application to the right of publicity, a newly recognized property interest. Professor Madoff suggests that the imposition of the estate tax can force the commodification of an individual’s identity, regardless of one’s desire to refrain from marketing their identity, and explores …
