What's All The Fuss? The "Parade Of Horribles" When Applying 35 U.S.C. § 271(F) To Software Patents, Paul Margulies

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the challenges of applying 35 U.S.C. § 271(f) to software patents in international contexts, arguing that extraterritorial application risks overstepping U.S. jurisdiction and causing international tensions. It advocates for U.S. courts to consider foreign law in such cases to maintain global harmony and avoid conflicts with international agreements like TRIPS.

Fragmenting Work And Fragmenting Organizations: The Contract Of Employment And The Scope Of Labour Regulation, Judy Fudge

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

This article diagnoses the conceptual and normative crisis of the scope of labour protection as resulting from the conception of employment as a personal and bilateral contract between an employee and a unitary employer that is characterized by the employee's subordination. It argues that the related fragmentation of organizations and fragmentation of work reveals the extent of the problem with this legal conceptualization of employment. The article offers an approach to reconceptualizing the scope of labour protection that is based on an understanding of personal work arrangements and enterprises as activities. It justifies this approach in terms of the goals …

Institutional Oversight Of Clinical Trials And The Drug Approval Process, Paul B. Miller

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

The institutional and federal bodies responsible for regulatory review and oversight of clinical trials in Canada serve distinct yet complementary functions in ensuring that clinical trials provide scientifically rigorous and ethically sound evaluation of new therapeutic products. To date, academics and reformers alike have discussed reform priorities for federal and institutional review in isolation, as if their guiding purposes are distinct. This article identifies the overlapping objectives of federal and institutional review, argues for the importance of coordination of institutional and federal oversight structures, and identifies potential points of coordination.

The Use Of The Corporate Monitor In Sec Enforcement Actions, O'Hare Jennifer

Faculty Publications

This paper addresses the SEC's recent use of the corporate monitor as ancillary relief in its enforcement actions. The corporate monitor represents the latest example of the SEC seeking to shift its enforcement responsibilities to the public companies it regulates. Focusing on the role played by the corporate monitor imposed by the SEC in its enforcement action brought against WorldCom, this paper considers some of the dangers posed by the use of the corporate monitor, such as the whether the appointment of a corporate monitor constitutes impermissible overreaching by the SEC. The paper recognizes that the corporate monitor can be …

Dealing With A Depressed Workforce: Are American Employers Doing Enough To Support The Mental Health Challenges Affecting Today's Employees., Charity Felts

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

This comment focuses on what American employers should be doing to recognize and deal with an employee population afflicted by mental illness. Americans suffer from a variety of mental health challenges. The symptoms of these mental illnesses vary from mild to severe. Often, if left untreated, these challenges can turn into full blown mental disorders. Employers typically ignore these issues due to high employee turnover rate and lack of employee loyalty. The cost attributable to mental illness every year is twenty-three billion dollars. However, when calculating the indirect costs like loss of productivity and absenteeism, the actual cost reaches $249 …

A Pregnant Teenager's Right To Education In Texas., Amber Hausenfluck

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

Texas must work to better protect the legal rights of pregnant teenagers within its school districts. Without statewide requirements to ensure the elimination of pregnancy discrimination against students, school districts’ policies vary greatly and often include policies counter to the protections afforded both in Title IX and the Texas Education Code. Title IX requires the choice to attend an alternative school be completely voluntary. However, upon inspection, many Texas schools seem to violate this requirement by compelling or pressuring pregnant students to attend alternative education programs instead of adequately informing them of their educational options. The Texas Education Code guarantees …

Reckoning With Rapanos: Revisiting "Waters Of The United States" And The Limits Of Federal Wetland Regulation, Jonathan H. Adler

Faculty Publications

Rapanos v. United States is the latest episode in the serial effort to identify the precise meaning of "waters of the United States." Federal courts have struggled to define the scope of federal regulatory jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act ("CWA") since the law was adopted.

Although no single opinion in Rapanos commanded a majority of the Court, the Court delivered a discernible holding. Specifically, the Court held that CWA jurisdiction over private lands is limited...and reaffirmed that federal regulatory authority only extends to those wetlands that have a "significant nexus" to navigable waters of the United States. Nonetheless, the …
