Clean Water Act Citizens Suits After Gwaltney: Applying Mootness Principles In Private Enforcement Actions, Reed D. Benson
Clean Water Act Citizens Suits After Gwaltney: Applying Mootness Principles In Private Enforcement Actions, Reed D. Benson
Faculty Scholarship
The Supreme Court recently held that a citizen plaintiff must make a good-faith allegation of an ongoing violation in order to bring an enforcement action under the Clean Water Act. The decision in Gwaltney of Smithfield, Ltd. v. Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Inc., will prevent citizens from bringing suit for the assessment of civil penalties solely for past violations of the Clean Water Act.
A Barrel Without Hoops: The Impact Of Counterterrorism On Israel's Legal Culture, Pnina Lahav
A Barrel Without Hoops: The Impact Of Counterterrorism On Israel's Legal Culture, Pnina Lahav
Faculty Scholarship
"'Israel's Defense Forces without law is like a barrel without hoops.'"
Terrorism challenges basic notions of Justice and Law. It demoralizes the State by exposing the inability of its institutions to protect life and liberty. It is the tool of desperados, whose devotion to a given cause has dehydrated their conscience, for whom no means is too ruthless in the struggle to attain the end. Once a society has tasted terrorism, its members expect to be struck anytime, anywhere, and for no reason other than their membership in that society. Only through tremendous inner strength can a society exposed to …
Reconciling Collective Bargaining With Employee Supervision Of Management, Michael C. Harper
Reconciling Collective Bargaining With Employee Supervision Of Management, Michael C. Harper
Faculty Scholarship
The realities of economic organization in modern industrial states pose a critical dilemma for all who care about democratic ideals. Technological developments and attendant complicated divisions of work have enabled these states to transform their citizens' standards of living; such developments have also, however, brought hierarchical economic organizations' that are unresponsive to the influence of most individual employees. A society that claims to be democratic cannot ignore this condition.2 Enhancing individuals' control over their own lives requires institutions that will facilitate democratic decisionmaking about economic production as well as governmental authority.
This Article contributes to thought about such institutions …

Vanessa Redgrave V. Boston Symphony Orchestra, Inc.: A Breach Of Constitutional Dimension, Maria O'Brien
Vanessa Redgrave V. Boston Symphony Orchestra, Inc.: A Breach Of Constitutional Dimension, Maria O'Brien
Faculty Scholarship
In Vanessa Redgrave v. Boston Symphony Orchestra, Inc., 399 Mass. 93 (1987), the Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) issued an important ruling on the parameters of the Commonwealth's relatively new Civil Rights Act (MCRA)' by answering two questions certified to it by the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. The SJC held that MCRA is essentially the state equivalent of 42 U.S.C. §1983 without the federal "state action" requirement.' This article briefly examines the SJC's decision in Redgrave in light of Massachusetts precedent and the vast federal experience with §1983 actions (Section I) and then considers the …
The Ethics Of Insider Trading, Gary S. Lawson
The Ethics Of Insider Trading, Gary S. Lawson
Faculty Scholarship
The quickest way to become famous is often to become infamous, as arbitrageur Ivan Boesky has recently discovered. Prior to November 1986, Mr. Boesky was well-known within the financial community, but largely unknown outside it. That changed dramatically following revelations that he and Dennis Levine, a merger specialist with the investment banking firm of Drexel Burnham Lambert, Inc., had made tens of millions of dollars in the stock market by using Mr. Levine's advance knowledge of impending takeovers by Drexel clients. Today, after disgorging $50 million in profits, paying $50 million in penalties, and receiving a jail sentence,' Mr. Boesky …

Risk Communication Law And Implementation Issues In The United States And European Community, Michael S. Baram
Risk Communication Law And Implementation Issues In The United States And European Community, Michael S. Baram
Faculty Scholarship
Risk communication has become an important element of public policy in the United States and the European Community (E.C.) for reducing technological risks to workers, product users and community residents. The risk communication process involves disclosure by an industrial firm (or other party) of information about the hazardous attributes of its activity or product to a regulatory agency or to persons who may be at risk, thereby facilitating a shared understanding of the risk and enabling interpretation of various risk prevention and response measures.
There are two general patterns of risk communication. One involves industrial disclosure to a government agency, …
Drug Product Liability And Health Care Delivery Systems, William M. Sage
Drug Product Liability And Health Care Delivery Systems, William M. Sage
Faculty Scholarship
This note will use the principles of law and economics to examine the interaction of market structures and product liability rules in a world of imperfect information. The goals of the analysis are to create incentives for optimal care by producers and consumers, induce the socially appropriate amount of consumption of each product (often referred to as the "activity level"), and minimize the costs of bearing the risk of injury. The note will conclude that the existence of health maintenance organizations ("HMOs") and similar prepaid providers with superior information capacity and total patient care responsibility may create a context in …

Conflict Of Laws (1988), Sharon N. Freytag, Don D. Bush, James Paul George
Faculty Scholarship
Conflicts of law occur when foreign elements appear in a lawsuit. Nonresident litigants, incidents in sister states or foreign countries, and lawsuits from other jurisdictions represent foreign elements that may create problems in judicial jurisdiction, choice of law, or recognition of foreign judgments, respectively. This Article reviews Texas conflicts of law during the Survey period from late 1986 through 1987. The survey includes cases from Texas state and federal courts and non-Texas cases affecting Texas practice. Excluded are cases involving federal/state conflicts, criminal law, intrastate matters such as subject matter jurisdiction and venue, except when they relate to the personal …
In Search Of The Virtuous Prosecutor: A Conceptual Framework, Stanley Z. Fisher
In Search Of The Virtuous Prosecutor: A Conceptual Framework, Stanley Z. Fisher
Faculty Scholarship
Questions about the scope and content of the duty to "seek justice" pervade prosecutorial work. Prosecutors are required to serve in a dual role: they are both advocates seeking conviction and "ministers of justice." Observers have complained about a tendency on the part of prosecutors to prefer the former of these "schizophrenic" obligations to the latter. This is commonly described as a tendency to behave overzealously or according to a "conviction psychology. ' "
Informed Consent In The Post-Modern Era, Wendy K. Mariner
Informed Consent In The Post-Modern Era, Wendy K. Mariner
Faculty Scholarship
The doctrine of informed consent' is intended to get physicians to talk to their patients so that patients can make reasonably knowledgeable choices about whether to undergo particular forms of medical care. Although the law has long prohibited treatment without the patient's consent,2 physicians have resisted the idea that treatment decisions ultimately are for the patient to make. Only recently have physicians been willing to disclose information about the benefits and risks of recommended therapies. 3 Even with the best of intentions, however, the discussions that do take place are often far from the law's ideal of reasonable disclosure …

Government Official Torts And The Takings Clause: Federalism And State Sovereign Immunity, Jack M. Beermann
Government Official Torts And The Takings Clause: Federalism And State Sovereign Immunity, Jack M. Beermann
Faculty Scholarship
In this article, I argue that state sovereign and official immunities, insofar as they bar recovery when private parties would be liable for similar conduct, are unconstitutional under the takings clause of the fifth amendment, as applied to the states under the fourteenth.22 A state's refusal to compensate plaintiffs for the tortious damage or destruction of property should be redressed by the federal courts in civil actions brought under § 1983.
Section I of this article provides background through a discussion of the Supreme Court's treatment of the problem of torts committed by government officials, primarily in procedural due …
