(Whatever Happended To) The Ada's "Record Of" Prong(?), Alex B. Long Nov 2006

(Whatever Happended To) The Ada's "Record Of" Prong(?), Alex B. Long

Washington Law Review

Of the three prongs in the Americans with Disabilities Act's (ADA) definition of disability, the "record of" prong is far less likely to be used by ADA plaintiffs in claiming protection under the Act than are the actual disability and "regarded as" prongs. Between the years 2000 and 2005, ADA and Rehabilitation Act plaintiffs who alleged employment discrimination in federal court relied upon the "record of" prong less than one-third as often as either the actual and "regarded as" prongs in claiming disability status. When they did rely on the "record of" prong, ADA plaintiffs did not enjoy any greater …


Standing On Hallowed Ground: Should The Federal Judiciary Monitor Executive Violations Of The Establishment Clause, Bradley Thomas Wilders Nov 2006

Standing On Hallowed Ground: Should The Federal Judiciary Monitor Executive Violations Of The Establishment Clause, Bradley Thomas Wilders

Missouri Law Review

This Note argues that the Seventh Circuit reached the correct result. However, there is little logic in continuing to limit Establishment Clause adjudications to plaintiffs who can show injury-in-fact or, absent such injury, plaintiffs who can claim the allegedly unconstitutional act was an exercise of the Taxing and Spending Clause. Instead, because the Establishment Clause is a unique structural restraint which separates the government from organized religion4 and prohibits government support of religion that divides the political process along religious lines, this Note concludes that standing to sue for Establishment Clause violations should be extended to acts of any government …


Apparent Authority And Healthcare In Illinois - Revisted, Marc D. Ginsberg, Patricia C. Nowak Nov 2006

Apparent Authority And Healthcare In Illinois - Revisted, Marc D. Ginsberg, Patricia C. Nowak

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This article discusses the recent Illinois Supreme Court decision, York v. Rush Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center, which addressed the reliance element in the overall analysis of apparent authority in the healthcare context in Illinois. The authors explore the historical underpinnings of agency law and posit that the York decision has effectively eroded basic agency law principles in the healthcare context.


The Lasting Viability Of Rasul In The Wake Of The Detainee Treatment Act Of 2005, Joseph R. Pope Nov 2006

The Lasting Viability Of Rasul In The Wake Of The Detainee Treatment Act Of 2005, Joseph R. Pope

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This article examines the jurisdictional features of the newly enacted Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 and the Supreme Court's Hamdan v. Rumsfeld decision as it relates to the retroactive application of the Act. In particular, the article considers the impact of the Act on the Supreme Court's earlier Rasul v. Bush decision and considers whether the statute, as interpreted by the Court in Hamdan, successfully abrogated that controversial decision or leaves certain unintended infirmities untreated. The article explores the Congressional history of the Act and explains how that history supported the Supreme Court's ultimate conclusion in Hamdan that Congress failed …


Protecting The Most Vulnerable Victims: Prosecution Of Child Sex Offenses In Illinois Post Crawford V. Washington, Jennifer A. Lindt Nov 2006

Protecting The Most Vulnerable Victims: Prosecution Of Child Sex Offenses In Illinois Post Crawford V. Washington, Jennifer A. Lindt

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This Comment examines the prosecution of pedophiles in Illinois after the United States Supreme Court's decision in Crawford v. Washington. The prosecution of pedophiles had frequently involved the use of extra judicial statements by victims to protect them from re-victimization after testifying at trial. The ability to use a statutorily mandated hearsay exception has been in question and is directly linked to the definition of the term "testimonial. " The author provides a test to determine whether the out of court statements by pedophilia victims are "testimonial" to make this tool for protecting the victims still viable.

Power Purchase Agreements For Small Power Producers, Steven Ferrey, Anil Cabraal Nov 2006

Power Purchase Agreements For Small Power Producers, Steven Ferrey, Anil Cabraal

Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works

Five Asian nations, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam began designing or instituting Small Power Producer (SPP) programs in the mid-1990s to support energy development jointly with the private sector. This note draws on important markers and lessons for other countries on how to implement similar programs based on these experiences. While all Asian programs demonstrate certain commonalities due to fundamental legal relationships, each experience has been tailored to local conditions and requirements. Some have introduced innovative bidding, competitive, or incentive structures. The result is a rich palette of experience with small power projects in Asia.


Liability Externalities And Mandatory Choices: Should Doctors Pay Less?, Robert D. Cooter, Ariel Porat Nov 2006

Liability Externalities And Mandatory Choices: Should Doctors Pay Less?, Robert D. Cooter, Ariel Porat

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

According to legal principles, a driver who negligently breaks a pedestrian's leg should pay the same damages as a doctor who negligently breaks a patient's leg. According to economic principles, however, the driver should pay more than the doctor. Non-negligent drivers impose risk on others without being liable for it. When liability externalities are mainly negative as with driving, liability should increase beyond full compensation to discourage the activity. Unlike pedestrians, patients contract with doctors for treatment and willingly submit to the risk of harm. Imperfections in medical markets cause some kinds of doctors to convey more positive than negative …


Offestting Risks, Ariel Porat Nov 2006

Offestting Risks, Ariel Porat

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Under prevailing tort law, an injurer who is required to choose between Course of Action A, which creates a risk of 500, and Course of Action B, which creates a risk of 400, and negligently chooses the former will be held liable for the harm that materializes in its entirety. This full liability forces the injurer to pay damages that are five times higher than necessary for making him internalize the risk of 100 that is actually created by his negligent choice. The argument advanced by this Article is that tort law should recognize the "Offsetting Risks Principle" ("ORP"), under …
