Sprawl, Growth Boundaries And The Rehnquist Court, Michael Lewyn Jan 2002

Sprawl, Growth Boundaries And The Rehnquist Court, Michael Lewyn

Scholarly Works

The most stringent anti-sprawl measure adopted by any American state is Oregon's urban growth boundary (UGB) program. Urban growth boundaries are lines on maps within which high-density development is encouraged, and beyond which such development is generally forbidden. Outside the boundary, rural industries (such as logging) and open space are promoted. This Article focuses on three issues: whether UGBs are constitutional under recent Supreme Court case law, (2) whether the UGB has in fact saved Portland (Oregon's largest city) from the social problems caused by sprawl, and (3) whether the side effects of UGBs make them a cure worse than …

A Restatement Of Rabbinic Civil Law, Volumes Vii And Viii, By Emanuel Quint (Book Review), Samuel J. Levine Jan 2002

A Restatement Of Rabbinic Civil Law, Volumes Vii And Viii, By Emanuel Quint (Book Review), Samuel J. Levine

Scholarly Works

In Volumes VII and VIII of A Restatement of Rabbinic Civil Law, Rabbi Emanuel Quint follows admirably in the path of Maimonides and Rabbi Caro. Building on and updating the work of these and countless other legal scholars, Rabbi Quint offers a comprehensive and scholarly yet comprehensible and practical description of the law in a wide variety of subjects, including sales, gifts and gifts causa mortis, wills and estates, lost property, and bailments. The deceptive simplicity of Rabbi Quint's finished product, however, should not obscure the inherent difficulty of the ambitious task he has undertaken: an attempt to present a …

Faith In Legal Professionalism: Believers And Heretics, Samuel J. Levine Jan 2002

Faith In Legal Professionalism: Believers And Heretics, Samuel J. Levine

Scholarly Works

The prevailing trend within the legal community has been to associate the recent decline of professionalism in the practice of law with the emergence of increasing commercialism, indicating that law has become more a business than a profession. Despite the evidence apparently supporting the position that law has evolved into a business, some scholars have responded by reaffirming the professionalism model, arguing that legal practice remains true to its professional ideals. These scholars admit that the professional paradigm is not without its flaws, but argue that it is more likely to lead to a better practice of law than the …


Civil Litigation From Litigants' Perspectives: What We Know And What We Don't Know About The Litigation Experience Of Individual Litigants, Tamara Relis Jan 2002

Civil Litigation From Litigants' Perspectives: What We Know And What We Don't Know About The Litigation Experience Of Individual Litigants, Tamara Relis

Scholarly Works

This study of the entire phenomenon of civil litigation commenced with the sole aim of ascertaining the extant gaps in the available knowledge about litigation from the perspectives of those who are by far affected most by it: the litigants. What does litigation mean for those who are directly embroiled and whose lives may consequently be radically transformed? Serious lacunas exist. However, extensive readings worldwide throughout the research process result in a stark elucidation of an overlooked, yet crucially important and somewhat egregious state of affairs, making surprisingly clear just how pernicious litigation is for the average 'nonrepeat player'.

Employer Beware? Enforcing Transnational Labor Standards In The United States Under The Alien Tort Claims Act, Sarah J. Adams-Schoen Jan 2002

Employer Beware? Enforcing Transnational Labor Standards In The United States Under The Alien Tort Claims Act, Sarah J. Adams-Schoen

Scholarly Works

The Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA) arguably allows non-U.S. citizens to bring claims for violations of customary international law (CIL). Although CIL litigation typically embraces only egregious human rights violations, the scope of CIL actually encompasses all universally recognized rights, including some labor rights. This Comment explores the possibility that the ATCA may be used to litigate claims by non-U.S. citizens alleging violations of international labor rights. It concludes that the Act likely provides a vehicle for aggrieved employees to bring suit in U.S. court for violations of international labor standards. Finally, this Comment recognizes that the impact of ATCA …


Trade-Related Aspects Of Intellectual Property Rights And Biotechnology: European Aspects, John Linarelli Jan 2002

Trade-Related Aspects Of Intellectual Property Rights And Biotechnology: European Aspects, John Linarelli

Scholarly Works

There does not seem to be a widely held view among WTO members of the proper role and scope of TRIPS. One of the main reasons why TRIPS is controversial is because it allocates rights in innovation, some would say beyond the bounds of what a trade agreement should seek to do. The lines of the debate are often conceptualized in terms of 'developing' versus 'developed' country differences. One of the major areas of disagreement is how TRIPS deals with rights in biotechnology. Some developing countries are relatively rich in biodiversity and traditional knowledge but poor in capital and scientific …
