Deterring Egregious Violations Of Public Policy: A Proposed Amendment To The Model Employment Termination Act, Dawn S. Perry Oct 1992

Deterring Egregious Violations Of Public Policy: A Proposed Amendment To The Model Employment Termination Act, Dawn S. Perry

Washington Law Review

The Model Employment Termination Act (Model Act), if enacted by state legislatures, would provide good cause protection to private sector employees. In exchange for this increased job security, the Model Act limits the range of remedies available for wrongful discharges. This Comment compares the remedies available under common law to those embodied in the Model Act and concludes that the Model Act does not adequately deter abusive discharges in violation of public policy. By amending the Model Act to include a capped punitive damages provision for egregious violations of public policy, state legislatures can achieve deterrence without undermining the compromise …


Persecution On Account Of Political Opinion: "Refugee" Status After Ins V. Elias-Zacarias, 112 S. Ct. 812 (1992), Craig A. Fielden Oct 1992

Persecution On Account Of Political Opinion: "Refugee" Status After Ins V. Elias-Zacarias, 112 S. Ct. 812 (1992), Craig A. Fielden

Washington Law Review

In INS v. Elias-Zacarias, the Supreme Court examined the definition of "refugee" under the Refugee Act of 1980 and found that harm from refusing to join a guerrilla organization is not "persecution on account of political opinion" as defined under that Act. This decision is incompatible with the intent of the Refugee Act of 1980 and creates onerous burdens of proof for aliens seeking asylum. This Note analyzes the Court's reasoning and concludes that Congress should enact legislation nullifying the Court's decision.


Participation Without Representation: The Meaning Of The Right To Vote After Presley V. Etowah County Commission, 112 S. Ct. 820 (1992), Nancy C. Zaragoza Oct 1992

Participation Without Representation: The Meaning Of The Right To Vote After Presley V. Etowah County Commission, 112 S. Ct. 820 (1992), Nancy C. Zaragoza

Washington Law Review

Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act requires governing entities implementing any new practices "with respect to voting" to first permit such changes to be scrutinized for discriminatory effects. In Presley v. Etowah County Commission, the United States Supreme Court held that a county government's restructuring of power among commissioners did not require scrutiny because the restructuring did not constitute a change with respect to voting. This Note examines Presley and concludes that the Court's decision ignored precedent, created an unreasonable test and misapplied the test. To ensure effective enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, the Court should adopt a …
