Self-Determination For Indigenous Peoples At The Dawn Of The Solar Age, Dean B. Suagee

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In addition to challenging readers to help make the principle of self-determination a reality for indigenous peoples, this Article challenges indigenous leaders, especially those in the United States, to help formulate our collective vision of a sustainable future and to provide leadership in making that vision a reality. The United Nations has designated 1993 the International Year for the World's Indigenous Peoples, and this event will provide tribal leaders with opportunities to have their voices heard. Tribal leaders in the United States should take full advantage of these opportunities and step to the forefront of the movement to hasten the …

The Law Between The Bar And The State, Susan P. Koniak

Faculty Scholarship

The traditional understanding of the relation between law and professional legal ethics is that legal ethics covers matters not covered by law; that ethics sits passively above law, starting where law leaves off. In this Article, Professor Susan Koniak argues that this understanding is wrong. She asserts that professional ethics are in competition and conflict with law as it is embodied in the pronouncements of courts and legislatures. Although "law" is usually considered to be the near exclusive preserve of the state, the Article contends that private groups also have "law," but it is usually called "ethics." The legal profession's …

Physician Willingness To Withhold Tube Feeding After Cruzan: An Empirical Study, Philip G. Peters Jr., John W. Ely, Steven C. Zweig

Missouri Law Review

In Cruzan v. Hannon, the Missouri Supreme Court declined to let Nancy Cruzan's father discontinue her tube feedings. The court insisted on clear and convincing evidence of her wishes and was unsatisfied that proof of this kind had been presented in her case.' In addition, it refused to defer to her family or to consider her "quality of life." On June 25, 1990, the United States Supreme Court affirmed the Missouri Supreme Court's decision. Since Cruzan, public demand for living wills has exploded.

Status Of Sex-Specific Fetal Protection Policies, The, Elizabeth A. Phillips

Missouri Law Review

Many commentators and judges consider cases involving fetal protection policies the most important sex discrimination cases since Congress enacted Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. With as many as twenty million workers potentially exposed to chemicals in the workplace that may cause reproductive health problems, employers have implemented fetal protection policies. The employers' motivation for enacting these policies is dual in nature: (1) to protect the health of future generations and (2) to protect themselves from potential tort liability. Regardless of the benevolence of employers' motives, the issue is whether individual employers should be allowed to close …

Controversial World Of Corporate Mergers And Acquisitions: A Critical Assessment, The, Perry V. Kalajian

Missouri Law Review

The last decade has proven to be a landmark era in the area of corporate mergers and acquisitions.' Perhaps the most rapid development in this area has been in the growth of antitakeover devices to defend against unwanted, hostile takeover attempts. The most noteworthy of the devices developed has been the share purchase rights plan. Since its inception in 1983, the use of the share purchase rights plan, or "poison pill" as it is more commonly known, as a defensive mechanism against hostile tender offers has generated much controversy and debate in the legal and business communities. The purpose of …

Criminal Activity Forfeiture Act: Replete With Constitutional Violations, The, Steffanie Stracke

Missouri Law Review

Congress has provided for the forfeiture of practically any type of property related to an illegal activity in order to take the profit out of crime. The federal forfeiture statute dealing specifically with criminal drug activity is commonly known as the Controlled Substances Act. This Comment focuses on the civil forfeiture proceedings4 of the Controlled Substances Act and the drug activity portion of Missouri's Criminal Activity Forfeiture Act' (CAFA). This Comment traces how the "War on Drugs" has turned a legitimate criminal penalty into a strong-arm tactic that has been abused by law enforcement agencies across the country.

Proxy Puzzle & The Durable Power Of Attorney For Health Care Act, The, J. Daniel Patterson

Missouri Law Review

The Missouri Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Act' (the Health Care Act) is the latest development in Missouri concerning proxy health care decision making. The Health Care Act, the Living Will Statute, and the Missouri Supreme Court's Cruzan' decision are the pieces which make up the puzzle known as Missouri proxy health care decision-making law. When the pieces are put together, however, it appears that some pieces are missing. This Note addresses the relationship of the Health Care Act to the other two pieces of Missouri law and searches for the pieces which seem to have been left …

Scope Of Consent Searches: Are Police Officers And Judges Misguided By The Objective Reasonableness Test, Marc L. Edmondson

Missouri Law Review

Law enforcement officials will arrest or temporarily detain over 14 million Americans this year for offenses ranging from murder to speeding. During these stops, the police officer will frequently ask for and receive the individual's consent to search his or her belongings. In Florida v. Jimeno, the United States Supreme Court attempted to define the permissible scope for consent searches under an objective reasonableness test.This Note will briefly explore the history of consent searches, examine the Supreme Court's rationale for adopting an objective test, analyze the ramifications of the decision, and propose modifications in the procedures for obtaining a valid …

Minority Cultures And The Cosmopolitan Alternative, Jeremy Waldron

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

I have chosen not to talk in this Article about the warning that Rushdie is sounding in his essay In Good Faith, but to discuss more affirmatively the image of the modern self that he conveys. Still, I hope that we do not lose sight of the warning. The communitarianism that can sound cozy and attractive in a book by Robert Bellah or Michael Sandel can be blinding, dangerous, and disruptive in the real world, where communities do not come ready-packaged and where communal allegiances are as much ancient hatreds of one's neighbors as immemorial traditions of culture.

Further Thoughts On Deferral To Private Dispute Resolution Procedures: A Response, Leonard Page, Daniel W. Sherrick

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

We would first like to respond to one aspect of Levy's Article before discussing our proposal. Levy seems to argue as a general matter that "joint committee" determinations should not receive the same deference as arbitral resolutions. After establishing some of the basic analytic parameters in Part I of this Response, we argue in Part II that Levy's distinction between joint committees and arbitral resolutions has no relevance to disputes concerning contractual rights, and is useful only in the context of disputes concerning statutory rights. In Part III, we outline a framework for analyzing internal union review procedures that will …
