This article will therefore "set the stage" by indicating the need for the Bounds of Advocacy, the charge to the Committee, the process by which the Standards and Comments were drafted, re-drafted, and then re-drafted again, and the appropriate scope, purpose and use of the Standards and Comments.


The United States Policy On Hiv Infected Aliens: Is Exclusion An Effective Solution, Christine N. Cimini Jan 1992

The United States Policy On Hiv Infected Aliens: Is Exclusion An Effective Solution, Christine N. Cimini

Articles

As of the summer of 1991, though the World Health Organization (WHO) had only 366,455 documented cases of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), the organization estimated that as many as 1.25 million people worldwide had actually contracted AIDS. That number was predicted to grow to twenty-five to thirty million cases of HIV worldwide by the year 2000. With hysteria and misinformation surrounding the transmission HIV/AIDS, Congress made changes to existing immigration laws to exclude entry to individuals with HIV. This comment critiques the early 1990s United States immigration policy that added HIV to the list of diseases for which a …

Extending The New Patent Misuse Limitation To Copyright: Lasercomb America, Inc. V. Reynolds, Toshiko Takenaka

Articles

This Article examines the decisional history that shaped the misuse doctrine and the interplay between the misuse defense and antitrust liability in patent and copyright infringement litigation. In particular, by examining the public interest and policy considerations underlying patent and antitrust laws, this Article compares and evaluates the new view that misuse must be analyzed by the conventional antitrust theories expressed by Judge Posner in USM Corp. v. SPS Technologies Inc. and the traditional view that was derived from the equity doctrine expressed in Morton Salt v. G.S. Suppiger.

Furthermore, this Article reviews the legislative history and the impact …

Municipal Annexation In North Carolina: A Look At The Past Decade, Steven W. Blevins Jan 1992

Municipal Annexation In North Carolina: A Look At The Past Decade, Steven W. Blevins

Campbell Law Review

Over the past decade North Carolina's annexation statutes have been the subject of much litigation. These challenges have taken numerous approaches in seeking to have the various annexation ordinances declared invalid. Many of these challenges have sought to have the statutes themselves declared invalid as a violation of both the United States Constitution and the North Carolina Constitution. Still other approaches have sought to have the actions of the annexing municipality declared illegal for failure to comply with these annexation statutes. One theme is visible throughout all of the challenges to annexation, the legislature has determined that annexation serves the …

Judicial Activism Constructs Lenders' Nightmare - Embree Construction Group, Inc. V. Rafcor, Inc. And United Carolina Bank, Philip A. Mullins Iv

Campbell Law Review

Finally, this Note will outline the potential problems …

Some Preliminary Thoughts On Long-Range Planning For The Federal Judiciary, Thomas E. Baker

Faculty Publications

Professor Baker gives his prescription for the Long-Range Planning Committee of the Judicial Conference. First, he considers the "mission" of the federal courts, explaining that there should be no single, objectively correct conception of the role of the federal courts. Second, he discusses his conception of long-range planning, in terms of a relatively short event horizon and the absolutely wide-open scope of the range of proposals that are relevant to the work of the Committee. Third, he describes his preliminary thoughts on the role of the Committee to be a kind of permanent Federal Courts Study Committee modeled after comparable …
