Vol. 3 No. 2, Spring 2012; Illinois Supreme Court: Overturn Thompson V. Gordon And Protect Design Professionals From Unbargained-For, Extra-Contractual Obligations, Daniel Nunney
Northern Illinois Law Review Supplement
This Note addresses how Illinois courts conduct contract interpretation and define the scope of contractual duties for design professionals. It discusses how the appellate court in Thompson v. Gordon improperly interpreted the contract in question, and how the court incorrectly followed applicable Illinois precedent when defining the scope of contractual duties for an engineer. It addresses the short- and long-term practical impacts of the Thompson decision, and also addresses a number of policy considerations associated with the majority's ruling. In sum, this Note advocates that it was necessary for the Illinois Supreme Court to overturn the Thompson decision.

From Idea To Practice: Sustainable Development Efforts In Manitoba, A John Sinclair, Lisa Quinn
From Idea To Practice: Sustainable Development Efforts In Manitoba, A John Sinclair, Lisa Quinn
Dalhousie Law Journal
With a renewed global interest in achieving a more sustainable society, the authors reflect on the history of institutionalizing sustainable development in their province, Manitoba, and consider its future. This paper outlines that province's approaches to developing and advancing sustainable development and discusses the success of these approaches in shaping, guiding, and furthering sustainable development in the province. This is achieved through examination of legislation and review of sustainable development documents as well as interviews with various participants in the process including members of the Manitoba Round Table for Environment and Economy and members of the more recent Manitoba Round …
Are Climate Change Policies Fair To Vulnerable Communities? The Impact Of British Columbia's Carbon Tax And Australia's Carbon Pricing Policy On Indigenous Communities, Karen Bubna-Litic, Nathalie J. Chalifour
Are Climate Change Policies Fair To Vulnerable Communities? The Impact Of British Columbia's Carbon Tax And Australia's Carbon Pricing Policy On Indigenous Communities, Karen Bubna-Litic, Nathalie J. Chalifour
Dalhousie Law Journal
This paper compares carbon pricing policies in British Columbia and Australia in order to identify differences between carbon taxes and emissions trading schemes (ETS) from a fairness perspective. We examine how taxes and trading systems impact indigenous communities in both jurisdictions. While the regressivity of carbon pricing is a critical part of any fairness assessment, we argue that socioeconomic and cultural factors must also be taken into consideration. We discuss the importance of accompanying carbon pricing with policies that mitigate not only distributional impacts, but also additional impacts. These may be funded by the revenue generated by the policy or …
Opening Doors: Preventing Youth Homelessness Through Housing And Education Collaboration, Courtney L. Anderson
Opening Doors: Preventing Youth Homelessness Through Housing And Education Collaboration, Courtney L. Anderson
Courtney L Anderson
This article will contribute to the general literature on homelessness by recommending that permanent supportive housing units for homeless children, youth and families provide education services in order to prevent and end homelessness among families, youth and children. I will explain how the legal framework for such housing requires a broad interpretation of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, and assert that federal programs provide a foundation for the creation of such housing. Identifying and educating homeless youth is particularly challenging as the majority of homeless youth live on the streets or in the homes of others, suffer from serious mental …

The bottom line is that the crisis in Syria is tragic and extremely complicated. Some of its more complex issues include the threat of ethnic conflict, refugee flows, Iran's regional influence, and the impact of this uprising on other protests in the Arab world, ongoing and in the future. However, there are also several incontrovertible facts: the regime of Bashar al-Assad, in the name of putting down a protest movement that turned violent, is responsible for at least 7,500 deaths and shows no signs of relenting.

"Offer To Sell" As A Policy Tool, Lucas S. Osborn
"Offer To Sell" As A Policy Tool, Lucas S. Osborn
Lucas S. Osborn
Gone are the days when the term “offer” is confined to first-year contracts courses and the intricacies of contract formation. The offer concept has quietly migrated throughout the law. It now regulates behavior in areas as diverse as criminal law, environmental law, securities law, and intellectual property law. Despite its wide diffusion, the offer concept remains largely unstudied as a legal concept outside of its contract-law environment. This Article begins to fill that gap. The Article begins by deconstructing the meaning of a traditional contract-law “offer” to determine its policy role in contract law, and then compares that role with …
Strengthening The Education Management Information System (Emis) In Tanzania: Government Actors’ Perceptions About Enhancing Local Capacity For Information-Based Policy Reforms, Assela M. Luena
Master's Capstone Projects
Strengthening the Education Management Information System (EMIS) in Tanzania is an important task, as the government needs quality data and information to support the creation of sound policies, making plans and managing educational resources. Well-functioning EMIS can ensure achievement of national goals to provide quality education, which is the basis for facilitating economic growth and sustainable development. The government also needs quality data and information in order to enhance monitoring and evaluation of the education sectors’ performance and ensure the right direction for achieving the intended goals and objectives.
Creating a sustainable and efficient EMIS is a challenge that requires …

Political Considerations In The Sports Establishment, Marios Papaloukas
Political Considerations In The Sports Establishment, Marios Papaloukas
Marios Papaloukas
There is a sui generis situation that needs to be further examined. Independent countries are not recognised as countries by Sports authorities while non-independent entities are. The sports establishment and the Olympic Movement are supposed to be politically independent. In the IOC’s view, its members do not represent their countries but rather the Olympic Movement within their countries. This is how their political independence from their respective governments is explained. One question remains unanswered though. Is it political considerations or a complete disregard for them, that has led sports authorities to take these decisions? The situation is further complicated since …

This white paper outlines some of the remaining state barriers and a few federal ones and how they prevent disruptive innovations by entrepreneurs and established firms alike that potentially could bring new and more efficient business models to the market. In the case of the legal sector, the barriers we identify not only adversely affect legal innovation, but also impede innovation in other sectors of the economy. Similarly, in health care, pharmaceuticals, K-12 education, the financing of growth businesses, and many consumer services, legal obstructions hinder innovation and the provision of efficient, affordable, high-quality services and products. We conclude by …
Uncertain Seas Ahead: Legal And Policy Approaches To Conserving Marine Biodiversity In The Face Of Changing Climate, Richard Kenchington, Robin Warner
Uncertain Seas Ahead: Legal And Policy Approaches To Conserving Marine Biodiversity In The Face Of Changing Climate, Richard Kenchington, Robin Warner
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
Climate is a major factor in the habitat, food chains, competition, success and survival of species. Contemporary distributions and abundance of marine species and communities reflect adaptation to geologically recent climatic conditions and the impacts of human activities. Warming of the atmosphere and seawater has occurred in association with increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide since the start of the twentieth century. Despite continuing scientific research and wider discussion of the relative roles of anthropogenic greenhouse gas increases and other influences on climate, climate change is occurring. The policy and legal issues have two core components: response to the effects …

Climate Change And The Oceans: Legal And Policy Portents For The Asia Pacific Region And Beyond, Robin Warner, Clive Schofield
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
The oceans dominate the globe spatially, covering approximately 72 per cent of its surface area. These extensive marine spaces are critical to the global environment and human survival in numerous ways - they are vital to the global nutrient cycling, represent a key repository and supporter of biological diversity on a world scale, and playa fundamental role in driving the global atmospheric system. Moreover, the oceans continue to provide a critical source of food through/fisheries and aquaculture, are an increasingly significant source of energy resources, and underpin the global economy through sea-borne trade.
Application Of Default Rules To Address Financial Conflicts Of Interest In Academic Medical Centers, Joanna K. Sax
Application Of Default Rules To Address Financial Conflicts Of Interest In Academic Medical Centers, Joanna K. Sax
Faculty Scholarship
A recent report issued from the Institute of Medicine contains an extensive analysis of financial conflicts of interest (FCOIs) in biomedical science. In brief, an FCOI exists when a profit-seeking motive either unduly influences or appears to influence an academic scientist’s primary obligations. The cornerstone of current policy to address FCOIs at academic medical centers (AMCs) is disclosure; however, disclosure does not appear to appropriately regulate, manage, or eliminate FCOIs.
Although the relationships between intramural scientists and industry and extramural scientists and industry may be structurally different, they both can lead to FCOIs that threaten scientific integrity. Overall, the NIH …

"Fasten Your Seat Belt, Orville!": Exploring The Relationship Between State-Of-The-Art, Technological And Commercial Feasibility, And The Restatement'S Reasonable Alternative Design Requirement, Richard C. Ausness
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
This Article begins by examining some of the case law involving the state-of-the-art concept and finds that it is principally concerned with technological feasibility. It also concludes that most cases do not treat state-of-the-art as conclusive on the design defect issue; rather, they merely consider it one of several factors that the fact finder may take into account when deciding whether a product's design is defective or not. Part II is concerned with technological development. This part examines two basic patterns of technological development and provides a number of historical examples for each. The first is a linear pattern, exemplified …

Winner Or Loser? A Post-Quota Case Study Of Pakistan's Textiles And Clothing Exports, Umair H. Ghori
Winner Or Loser? A Post-Quota Case Study Of Pakistan's Textiles And Clothing Exports, Umair H. Ghori
Umair H. Ghori
Textiles and Clothing (T&C) is a critically important sector of international trade for developing countries and least developed countries (LDCs). The T&C sector engages abundant labour resources and requires low investment threshold. The T&C sector has been a contentious area in multilateral trade negotiations. With the expiration of quotas in 2005, many T&C dependent countries are experiencing considerable adjustment challenges. Pakistan is one such country that is extensively reliant on T&C industries. This research note presents a brief case study which looks at post-quota developments in Pakistan's T&C trade and the trade and economic policy issues it raises.
