Just Looking, Mary Whisner Jan 2007

Just Looking, Mary Whisner

Librarians' Articles

While acknowledging that much of what librarians do is research focused on answering specific questions, Ms. Whisner suggests that there are virtues in being a "just looking" shopper of legal information. Browsing through resources such as blogs, Web sites, and newsletters allows librarians to build knowledge about what's available and to identify items that can be shared with patrons, colleagues, and themselves.


A Manual "To Inform Every Citizen", Mary Whisner Jan 2007

A Manual "To Inform Every Citizen", Mary Whisner

Librarians' Articles

Ms. Whisner examines the history and development of an "old friend" of many reference librarians, the United States Government Manual.


On Fun, Mary Whisner Jan 2007

On Fun, Mary Whisner

Librarians' Articles

While acknowledging the many scholarly and thought-provoking contributions that Bob Berring has made in the areas of legal information and law librarianship, Ms. Whisner suggests that his ability to also make them fun is of equal, if not greater, importance.


The Pajama Way Of Research, Mary Whisner Jan 2007

The Pajama Way Of Research, Mary Whisner

Librarians' Articles

While acknowledging the attractions of being able to conduct legal research in the comfort of one's home-in your pajamas no less-Ms. Whisner notes what a student misses by relying solely on computer-assisted legal research systems. She encourages librarians to engage in outreach efforts that will not only alert patrons to services they might be missing but also persuade them the services would be helpful.


Islamic Law In The Jurisprudence Of The International Court Of Justice: An Analysis, Clark B. Lombardi Jan 2007

Islamic Law In The Jurisprudence Of The International Court Of Justice: An Analysis, Clark B. Lombardi

Articles

This Article asks whether ICJ opinions to date suggest that judicial consideration of Islamic legal norms has played, can play, or should play a role in the ICJ's resolution of international legal disputes or in establishing the legitimacy of the results that it has reached. It is structured as follows. Part II gives an initial overview of the ICJ to help us understand how and why judges on the ICJ have reached the answers they have. Part III describes how the ICJ's enabling statute permits the Court, at least in theory, to look at Islamic legal norms. As I will …


Collateralizing Intellectual Property, Xuan-Thao Nguyen Jan 2007

Collateralizing Intellectual Property, Xuan-Thao Nguyen

Articles

This Article identifies and critiques the collateralization of intellectual property, revealing the complexity of intersecting secured transaction law, namely Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, and doctrinal intellectual property laws such as patent law, copyright law, and trademark law. The inquiry challenges the silence surrounding the pervasive use of intellectual property as collateral in secured financing and suggests changes to the existing framework on secured financing law.

The Article proceeds as follows: Part II discusses the normative intellectual property rights for patents, copyrights, and trademarks and how such rights are utilized as corporate assets. Part III describes different forms …


Be Careful What You Ask For: Educacion Para Todas/Os, The Perils And The Power, Jessica Solyom, Jeremiah Chin, Kristi Ryujin Jan 2007

Be Careful What You Ask For: Educacion Para Todas/Os, The Perils And The Power, Jessica Solyom, Jeremiah Chin, Kristi Ryujin

Articles

Demonstrations supporting human and civil rights, while often romanticized as a phenomenon of the past, are becoming more pervasive today, reflecting the continued forms of discrimination and oppression undocumented workers, individuals, and families experience. In the past few years, Utah residents have been engaged in their own battle to determine the level of support the state is willing to extend students of color interested in attending institutions of higher education. On the "frontstage" many of the state's universities echo a rhetoric of support for diversity. Some even go as far as to outline their commitment to diversity as part of …


The Health Care Choice Act: The Individual Insurance Market And The Politics Of "Choice", Elizabeth Pendo Jan 2007

The Health Care Choice Act: The Individual Insurance Market And The Politics Of "Choice", Elizabeth Pendo

Articles

The Health Care Choice Act of 2005 (HCCA) aims to reform perceived problems in the individual market, and is touted as part of the solution to the problem of the uninsured. It purports to allow individuals who are not eligible for or cannot afford group coverage to purchase an individual policy in and from any state. If passed, the HCCA would allow health insurers to offer individual policies of insurance from any state without being required to comply with the laws of the insured's own state. Its proponents claim that it would lower the cost of individual health insurance by …


Can China Promote Electronic Commerce Through Law Reform? Some Preliminary Case Study Evidence, Jane K. Winn, Song Yuping Jan 2007

Can China Promote Electronic Commerce Through Law Reform? Some Preliminary Case Study Evidence, Jane K. Winn, Song Yuping

Articles

The government of the People’s Republic of China (P.R.C.) has announced its intention to make China a global leader in innovation by 2020. Many Chinese business leaders share this goal. The primary focus of this national strategy is to transform China into an exporter of high-technology products based on Chinese designs rather than merely a low cost, high volume manufacturer of products based on technology developed in other countries.

This paper will examine the implications for this strategy with regard to the use of computerized management information systems by Chinese businesses, and its relationship to recent law reform efforts intended …


Using Stock And Stock Options To Minimize Patent Royalty Payment Risks After Medimmune V. Genentech, Sean M. O'Connor Jan 2007

Using Stock And Stock Options To Minimize Patent Royalty Payment Risks After Medimmune V. Genentech, Sean M. O'Connor

Articles

This Article proposes a more or less functional equivalent mechanism to a patent royalty stream through the use of stock and stock options in the licensee. The stock would coarsely track the overall fortunes of the licensee, while the options could be more finely tuned to vest and become exercisable upon events and milestones that would have been used for payments in a traditional license fee plus royalty stream licensing deal.

There may be problems of liquidity, of course, during the period where the licensee is still privately held and thus has no ready markets for its stock. But even …


Adapting To Administrative Law's Erie Doctrine, Kathryn A. Watts Jan 2007

Adapting To Administrative Law's Erie Doctrine, Kathryn A. Watts

Articles

This Article looks to the federalism context and draws on the federal courts' experience adapting to the Court's landmark decision in Erie Railroad Company v. Tompkins. Much like Brand X, the Court's Erie decision, which commanded federal courts to apply state law in all cases not governed by positive federal law, significantly reduced the lawmaking power of the federal courts by putting the federal courts in the position of interpreting law that they cannot definitively construe. Although Erie seemed simple enough to adhere to when state law provided a clear answer, Erie posed a serious dilemma when federal courts …


The Limits Of Intelligence In Maritime Counterproliferation Operations, Craig Allen Jan 2007

The Limits Of Intelligence In Maritime Counterproliferation Operations, Craig Allen

Articles

This article begins with an examination of the intelligence needs of those engaged in maritime counterproliferation efforts. It then turns to risk-management decision making under conditions of uncertainty, focusing on decisions at the operational level and exploring the question of whether decision strategies in the WMD context should seek to minimize false-negative or false-positive errors. It concludes that even vastly improved maritime intelligence will not obviate the need for national and operational commanders to make decisions under conditions of uncertainty and that such decisions should be made on the basis of established risk-assessment and management principles. At the same time, …


Fifth Circuit Survey: Taxation, Michael Hatfield Jan 2007

Fifth Circuit Survey: Taxation, Michael Hatfield

Articles

During the survey period, the Fifth Circuit decided nine federal tax cases. Four of the nine cases were appealed from district courts. The remaining five were appealed from the Tax Court. Three of the Tax Court's five decisions (60%) were affirmed, and three of the four district court decisions (75%) were affirmed. Thus, the Fifth Circuit affirmed most of the lower court decisions (66%). Interestingly, only three of the decisions (33%) favored the taxpayer—EC Term of Years Trust v. United States; Garber Industries, Inc. v. Commissioner; and Estate of Baird v. Commissioner—even though the Fifth Circuit …
