Summary of Argument: Throughout this proceeding, EPA has identified no policy or normative criteria to justify its NAAQS standards, thus suggesting that science alone can be used to determine the appropriate air quality standard. Science plays a critical, indeed essential, role in evaluating the risks of possible air quality standards being considered for adoption by EPA. However, science by itself cannot provide the justification for selecting a particular air quality standard. Especially in setting standards for non-threshold pollutants, such as in this case, scientific evidence cannot alone indicate where the standard should be set, since any level above zero will …

Bringing The Practice To The Classroom: An Approach To The Professionalism Problem, Steven H. Goldberg

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The first section of this article presents a brief history and description of a professionalism movement that continues to urge law schools to do more to solve the “professionalism problem.” The second discusses legal education's failure to bring professionalism into the law school curriculum. The third describes the structure and teaching method of The Practice—a different kind of course about professionalism—while the fourth discusses the professionalism content of the course. I conclude with a plea for law faculty to direct their considerable talents toward collecting stories and data about the profession and creating material to facilitate law school courses that …

Re Canada Post Corp And Cupw (Bedford), Innis Christie

The Grievor was suspended, then terminated for stealing taxi chits for his own use. The Union claims that discharge was excessive in this case, considering the personal stresses on the Grievor at the time, and the Grievor's previous good record. The Union also grieves that the suspension was imposed without written notice as required by the Agreement. The Employer argues that the Grievor's act is a breach of trust such that the Employer-Employee relationship is broken beyond repair.

What Recourse?—Liability For Managed Care Decisions And The Employee Retirement Income Security Act, Wendy K. Mariner

Faculty Scholarship

Should managed-care organizations be accountable to patients injured by the company's negligence or wrongdoing? The general rule is that all organizations, including managed-care organizations, are legally liable for causing personal injury as a result of their own negligence or the negligence of their employees or agents.1-4 However, as most observers of the U.S. health care system know by now, there is an exception to this basic legal rule of accountability. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) has been interpreted to grant health benefit plans provided by employers or unions (and the managed-care organizations that sell or …

Also discussed, is the role of local government to act within their jurisdictions, and how governmental forces may agree upon joint resolutions in order to solve national problems. For …

The Province of Nova Scotia has, for many years, attempted, through a variety of means, to address issues of diversity and affirmative action. However, despite the lessons of history there are still those who question the need for programs and policies that promote, encourage and enforce equality. Even though significant advances have been made on many fronts Nova Scotia continues to struggle with issues of inequality. As with many problems faced by society acknowledging the existence of the problem is the first step towards developing solutions.
