Up In Smoke: The Ftc's Refusal To Apply The "Unfairness Doctrine" To Camel Cigarette Advertising, John Harrington Apr 1995

Up In Smoke: The Ftc's Refusal To Apply The "Unfairness Doctrine" To Camel Cigarette Advertising, John Harrington

Federal Communications Law Journal

RJR Nabisco's cigarette advertising icon "Joe Camel" has become one of the most-recognized marketing mascots in America. Unfortunately, the debonair cartoon character attracts recognition, and cigarette buyers, among children. The huge popularity of the advertising campaign among an arguably inappropriate market prompted action by both legislators and the Federal Trade Commission. However, 1990 legislation did not pass the committee stage, and the FTC ended its investigation of the questionable effect the advertising had on children in 1994.

Although the FTC chose not to limit or ban RJR Nabisco's use of Old Joe, this Note contends that regulation was within the …

The Constitutionality Of Lobby Reform: Implicating Associational Privacy And The Right To Petition The Government, Steven A. Browne Feb 1995

The Constitutionality Of Lobby Reform: Implicating Associational Privacy And The Right To Petition The Government, Steven A. Browne

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

Lobbyists currently are required to register and report to the United States Congress under the Federal Regulation of Lobbying Act of 1946. Because of poor draftsmanship, the 1946 Act actually covers few lobbyists and is not enforced by the federal government. One recent federal bill attempts to reform lobbying registration by addressing the inadequacies of the current law. If enacted, this bill might be challenged as an impediment to First Amendment rights. Any attempt at lobby reform implicates the First Amendment right to petition the government and the right of associational privacy. These issues have been analyzed by state and …

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act: The Constitutional Significance Of An Unconstitutional Statute, Daniel O. Conkle Jan 1995

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act: The Constitutional Significance Of An Unconstitutional Statute, Daniel O. Conkle

Articles by Maurer Faculty

This article addresses the constitutionality and the constitutional significance of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA), through which Congress, relying on Section 5 of the 14th Amendment, attempted to repudiate the Supreme Court's restrictive interpretation of the Free Exercise Clause, as announced in Employment Division v. Smith, and to adopt in its place a more generous regime of religious freedom. The article advances two major propositions. First, it contends that despite the Act's noble purpose, RFRA circumvents the process of constitutional amendment, frustrates the Supreme Court's role as the primary interpreter of the Constitution, and improperly intrudes on …

United States V. National Treasury Employees Union And The Constitutionality Of The Honoraria Ban: Protecting The First Amendment Rights Of Public Employees, Judy M. Lin

University of Richmond Law Review

During the 1980s, government ethics were brought into the spotlight as the public's confidence in the integrity of government officials eroded. In an attempt to curb actual and perceived improprieties by government employees, and to reinforce the standards of integrity within the federal government, President Bush signed into law the Ethics Reform Act of 1989.

Public Institutions Of Culture And The First Amendment: The New Frontier, Lee C. Bollinger

Faculty Scholarship

The general subject of my lecture today is the relationship between the First Amendment and public institutions of culture, which I take to be those sponsored and supported by the state with the clear purpose of preserving and promoting high culture in the United States. These include universities, museums, theaters, libraries, public broadcasting networks, programs for art in public places, and the national endowments for the arts and the humanities. All of these institutions or programs are vested with the responsibility of insuring the preservation of high human achievement in the areas to which they are devoted (knowledge, art, music, …
