National Health Policy Forum

This site visit focused on Wisconsin Works (W-2), a statewide effort to reduce the state's welfare caseload and send clients to work. In particular, site visitors examined welfare reform policy, service delivery, and financing issues in Milwaukee, at that time the home of 85 percent of W-2 participants. Site visit participants heard from state officials, private-sector representatives, researchers, and advocates on the structure of W-2, its operating policies, and the effects of program implementation on low-income families. They toured a variety of …

Reefer Madness: How Voters Responded To Medicinal Marijuana Initiatives In The 1998 State Elections, Ryan E. Wood

Masters Theses

In recent years, a growing number of states have witnessed the passage of state initiatives that have authorized the medicinal use of marijuana. The medicinal marijuana movement has circumvented elected state legislatures by relying on an increasingly popular form of direct democracy - the direct initiative. This paper briefly examines the history and continuing legacy of illicit drugs and the initiative process in the context of the movement for medicinal marijuana. However, the primary focus of this study is to uncover the voter characteristics that influenced attitudes toward medicinal marijuana in the 1998 state elections. This paper uses Voter News …

Rethinking The Development Of Patents: An Intellectual History, 1550-1800, Adam Mossoff

UC Law Journal

The history of patents begins, not with inventions, but with royal grants of industrial monopolies in the fifteenth century. By the end of the eighteenth century, however, patents represent a legal right to property in a novel mechanical or scientific invention. Commentators today maintain that this radical shift from royal monopoly privilege to legal property right occurred solely in response to economic or institutional demands. While political, economic and institutional conditions certainly played a role in this story, this Article maintains that the ideas of John Locke were the true fountainhead behind the evolution of patents.

Although there were fits …

Certainty Thwarted: Broad Waiver Versus Narrow Waiver Of The Psychotherapist-Patient Privilege After Jaffee V. Redmond, Ellen E. Mcdonnell

UC Law Journal

This Note interprets the federal court split regarding waiver of the psychotherapist-patient privilege created in the aftermath of Jaffe v. Redmond. As Jaffe's landmark holding ages, case law addressing the issue of waiver in this context becomes progressively polarized. Some post-Jaffe rulings insist that a plaintiff must place privileged information at issue during trial in order to waive the privilege. Still others stubbornly hold that a plaintiff merely asserting a claim for emotional damages waives the privilege. Scholars have given little attention to this inconsistency; it is imperative, however, that the two schools be unified. Traditional views should be modernized …

Preserving The Womb Of The Unknown Species With Hotspots Legislation, John Charles Kunich

UC Law Journal

The concept of "hotspots" is a cutting-edge biodiversity topic that has never received scholarly legal analysis until now. Recent credible scientific research indicates that most of the species on earth are concentrated within only a few ecosystems called hotspots. However, the current global extinction crisis, raging without any effective legal control, threatens these hotspots and the species they harbor. It is a matter of the highest importance to preserve the hotspots in the face of increasing threats from development, pollution, and other pressures.

This Article begins by tracing the history and science of extinction, including evidence as to the magnitude …

On The School Board's Hit List: Community Involvement In Protecting The First And Fourth Amendment Rights Of Public School Students, Patrick Richard Mckinney Ii

UC Law Journal

This Note examines public school students' Constitutional rights to due process, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, and freedom of speech in light of the numerous school shootings that have taken place nationwide during the past few years. It argues that Supreme Court stare decisis has gradually diminished student rights, effectively impeding students' ability to seek remedy for their Constitutional injuries in a court of law. Moreover, school administrators have begun implementing policies, such as zerotolerance, that inherently tend to cause infringement of student rights. Although safety in schools is a legitimate state interest, student rights do not need to …

Textualism’S Limits On The Administrative State: Of Isolated Waters, Barking Dogs, And Chevron, Michael P. Healy

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

In Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Supreme Court recently held that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps) does not have authority under the Clean Water Act (the Act or the CWA) to regulate the filling of “other waters.” This decision demonstrates a major shift in the Court's approach to statutory interpretation, particularly in the context of reviewing an agency’s understanding of a statute. The significance of the case is best gauged by contrasting it with United States v. Riverside Bayview Homes, Inc. There, the Court, acting …
