A Causation Approach To Criminal Omissions, Arthur Leavens
A Causation Approach To Criminal Omissions, Arthur Leavens
Faculty Scholarship
This Article examines the scope of criminal laws that impose liability for failures to prevent a proscribed harm. Traditionally, courts have only imposed criminal sanctions upon individuals for their failure to act where the individual has a "legal duty" to prevent a specific harm. Professor Leavens rejects this conventional approach as being an artificial and ultimately unfair way to set the limits of omission liability. He asserts that in order for the courts validly to utilize any concept -- including "legal duty"-- to define the scope of omission liability, that concept must fairly reflect the underlying criminal prohibition; namely, that …
Nationwide Service Of Process: Due Process Limitations On The Power Of The Sovereign, Robert A. Lusardi
Nationwide Service Of Process: Due Process Limitations On The Power Of The Sovereign, Robert A. Lusardi
Faculty Scholarship
There are a number of instances in which a federal court asserts personal jurisdiction by service of process beyond the territorial limits of the state in which it sits. The most common examples of these assertions of jurisdiction are the use of a state's long-arm statute and the "bulge" provision of the federal rules. But, in addition, there are a number of statutes by which Congress has authorized nationwide service of process in particular circumstances.
It is generally accepted that Congress may authorize expansion limits of the states in which it sits, including authorization of extraterritorial service of process. However, …

When Can The Government Issue A Retroactive Medicare Reimbursement Rule? A Preview Of Bowen V. Georgetown University Hospital, Robert L. Schwartz
When Can The Government Issue A Retroactive Medicare Reimbursement Rule? A Preview Of Bowen V. Georgetown University Hospital, Robert L. Schwartz
Faculty Scholarship
The only issue before the Court is whether the Secretary of Health and Human Services can issue a regulation with entirely retroactive effect governing Medicare reimbursement for healthcare providers. The Court must decide whether such a retroactive rule is permitted by the Administrative Procedures Act (the "APA"), which defines a rule as "an agency statement of either general or particular applicability and future effect," or by the Medicare statute, which authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations to provide for the reimbursement of the "reasonable costs" of hospitals providing Medicare services.

Products Liability Law In Minnesota: Design Defect And Failure To Warn Claims, Michael K. Steenson
Products Liability Law In Minnesota: Design Defect And Failure To Warn Claims, Michael K. Steenson
Faculty Scholarship
The Minnesota law of products liability underwent significant changes in the 1980s. The courts filled in gaps left open since the Minnesota Supreme Court initially adopted strict liability in McCormack v. Hankscraft Co.' in 1967, but they also raised new issues and left other issues open. This Article analyzes these developments in Minnesota products liability law. The broad focus is on standards in design and warning cases. In the course of the analysis, the Article focuses on the issues that had been left unsettled in Minnesota law in those areas. The Article first addresses the elements of a strict liability …
Securities Law Fifth Circuit Symposium, Steve Thel
Securities Law Fifth Circuit Symposium, Steve Thel
Faculty Scholarship
The Fifth Circuit decided some important securities cases during the survey period and issued some interesting opinions. Although the court consistently claimed a conservative reliance on precedent and seldom acknowledged making new law, it interpreted some well-established doctrine in surprising ways. The past year's opinions in fraud cases provide guidance in the related areas of reliance, damages, and plaintiff's due diligence. The year also witnessed important developments in the law governing the relationship between brokerage firms and their clients. The most spectacular development in this area during the survey year was the October collapse in security prices. In light of …

Forward To Drug Testing Symposium, Christine D. Ver Ploeg
Faculty Scholarship
This forward to the William Mitchell Law Review provides an overview on the six articles on various important drug testing topics included therein. These articles will be welcomed by anyone who is struggling to write a drug testing policy, trying to identify employees' rights to challenge a test or test results, or by anyone who seeks to gain a general understanding of this complex and controversial topic.
Unions And Urinalysis, Deborah A. Schmedemann
Unions And Urinalysis, Deborah A. Schmedemann
Faculty Scholarship
Many private employers seem to be busy deciding whether and how to test employees for drug use. Presumably most of these decisions are made by management acting alone. However, in unionized workplaces—one out of five private sector employees are represented by unions—federal labor law prescribes a different method. That method features collective bargaining by unions and management to set the rules, the use of a private third-party neutral to resolve disputes which arise under those rules (arbitration), and relatively little involvement by the government (the National Labor Relations Board, legislatures, and the courts). This system that labor law prescribes for …
Rethinking Harmless Constitutional Error, A. Kimberley Dayton
Rethinking Harmless Constitutional Error, A. Kimberley Dayton
Faculty Scholarship
This article examines the increasing role of the Chapman Rule and its effect on the harmless error doctrine and outlines a coherent doctrine of constitutional error responsive to the purposes of the various constitutional protections afforded criminal defendants. Part I evaluates the Court's existing harmless error jurisprudence. Part II proposes a harmless error doctrine that, unlike the Court's approach, responds to constitutional values unrelated to truth determination. The last two parts of the Article address two problems precipitated by the use of outcome-oriented rules to define and remedy constitutional error. Part III discusses when such a rule should be used …
Bright Line Seizures: The Need For Clarity In Determining When Fourth Amendment Activity Begins, Edwin J. Butterfoss
Bright Line Seizures: The Need For Clarity In Determining When Fourth Amendment Activity Begins, Edwin J. Butterfoss
Faculty Scholarship
This Article proposes that the Mendenhall-Royer standard, as presently interpreted, should be discarded because it is unworkable and fails to strike the appropriate balance between the liberty interests of citizens and the interest of the state in combatting crime. The test is unworkable because the outcomes of cases turn on subtle factual distinctions unrelated to an individual's actual freedom to end an encounter with a police officer, making it difficult for police officers to apply the standard in the field and adjust their conduct accordingly. Moreover, the standard provides insufficient protection for an individual's rights by failing to consider the …
Mental Impairments And The Rehabilitation Act Of 1973, David Allen Larson
Mental Impairments And The Rehabilitation Act Of 1973, David Allen Larson
Faculty Scholarship
This article examines the question of whether an asserted mental disorder should be regarded as a statutory impairment. The article begins by outlining the Rehabilitation Act and by discussing the diagnostic difficulties that exist in the mental health field. It then surveys specific cases arising under the Rehabilitation Act. Selected cases reviewing state statutory language are also examined. The article provides a broad discussion of the questions and concerns that must be considered when formulating a nondiscrimination policy protecting mentally impaired persons. It concludes by suggesting an approach for handling cases alleging discrimination due to a mental impairment.
Copyright Protection Of Fictional Characters In Japan, Kenneth L. Port
Copyright Protection Of Fictional Characters In Japan, Kenneth L. Port
Faculty Scholarship
There is a renewed interest in the United States in Japanese Copyright law. Specifically, new attention has been focused on the protection of computer software under the Japanese Copyright Act, but only a cursory attempt has been given in English language literature to the issue of whether fictional characters can be protected using copyright law in Japan independent of the original work. The objective of this Comment is to fill this void. First the Comment presents the fundamental concepts of American copyright law needed as background knowledge to understand the issue. The Comment then explores the existing satiation in Japan …
Aids And The Law: Setting And Evaluating Threshold Standards For Coercive Public Health Intervention, Eric S. Janus
Aids And The Law: Setting And Evaluating Threshold Standards For Coercive Public Health Intervention, Eric S. Janus
Faculty Scholarship
This article examines in detail an example of legislation that redefines the scope of permissible public health intervention and provides procedural protections compatible with modern precedent—the Minnesota Health Threat Procedures Act. This Act is an appropriate subject for close study because it is intended to be responsive to the general concerns raised by the commentators: the narrowing redefinition of the scope of coercive public health intervention and the addition of suitable procedural protections. Coercive public health legislation merits close attention because it inevitably invokes a clash of three important values. The purpose of the legislation is the protection of the …
