Constitution Of The State Of Georgia A Resolution: Amend The Constitution So As To Provide That The Tradition Of Fishing And Hunting And The Taking Of Fish And Wildlife Shall Be Preserved For The People And Shall Be Managed By Law And Regulation For The Public Good; Provide For Submission Of This Amendment For Ratification Or Rejection; And For Other Purposes, Clay S. O'Daniel

Georgia State University Law Review

The resolution sanctioned a state-wide referendum to amend the Georgia Constitution. The referendum will appear on the general election ballot in November 2006. Although Georgia Code section 27-1-3 recognizes the right to hunt and fish and the importance of the tradition of hunting and fishing to the State of Georgia, proponents contend that the resolution is a necessary step given the potential future threat. The proposed amendment preserves the tradition of hunting and fishing for the people of Georgia and provides management by law and regulation for the public good.

Constitutional Adjudication, Civil Rights, And Social Change, Suzanne B. Goldberg Sep 2005

Constitutional Adjudication, Civil Rights, And Social Change, Suzanne B. Goldberg

Rutgers Law School (Newark) Faculty Papers

Judicial opinions typically rely on “facts” about a social group to justify or reject limitations on group members’ rights, especially when traditional views about the status or capacity of group members are in contest. Yet the fact-based approach to decision-making obscures the normative judgments that actually determine whether restrictions on individual rights are reasonable. This article offers an account of how and why courts intervene in social conflicts by focusing on facts rather than declaring norms. In part, it argues that this approach preserves judicial power to retain traditional justifications for restricting group members’ rights in some settings but not …


Two Tales Of Bundling, Bruce H. Kobayashi Sep 2005

Two Tales Of Bundling, Bruce H. Kobayashi

George Mason University School of Law Working Papers Series

The economic literature on bundling has made many theoretical advances. However, several omissions reveal themselves. The advances have largely been on the theoretical side. These models contain restrictive assumptions regarding the existence of monopoly in some markets, and the nature of rivalry in others. The models generally ignore obvious and ubiquitous reasons firms may use bundled discounts. These models have not been subject to robustness checks, nor have their assumptions been tested empirically. As a result, the literature that shows the possibility of anticompetitive harm does not provide a reliable way to gauge whether the potential for harm would outweigh …
