Part I of this Article discusses the history and pervasiveness of the pornography problem. Part II explains the current legal test for obscenity, as evolved from Miller v. California, with an emphasis on terms commonly used in the definition of obscenity.

Finally, Part IV presents a proposal for a per se hard-core pornography rule, similar to child pornography laws existing in many jurisdictions and upheld by the Supreme Court in New York v. Ferber.

Virginia's Historic District Enabling Legislation: Preservation At The Local Level, Virginia Epes Mcconnell

University of Richmond Law Review

On April 10, 1987, Governor Gerald L. Baliles established the Governor's Commission to Study Historic Preservation (the Commission). The Governor created the Commission in order to ensure that "Virginia is back in the forefront of our nation's historic preservation efforts," and charged the Commission to examine preservation issues in Virginia and to make recommendations for improving the Commonwealth's preservation program. Governor Baliles addressed the Commission in July of 1987, emphasizing that preservation is not mere reverence for the past. Preservation is, rather, a tool to manage change, to enliven our future, and is "necessary if we are to hand over …

Survey Of National Legislation Regulating Insider Trading, Mary J. Houle

Michigan Journal of International Law

In recent years much attention has been focused on the phenomenon of "insider trading." The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) now appears to have wide-spread public support for its hard-line approach toward insider trading practices. Previously hostile to a broad prohibition of insider trading, even the Supreme Court has lent a sympathetic ear to the pleas of the SEC in the recent Carpenter case, which hinted at support for the misappropriation theory of insider trading. The prevailing attitude is that confidence in the fair operation of the securities markets must not be undermined by insiders who deprive those …

Survey Of Registration And Disclosure Requirements In International Securities Markets, Scott D. Cohen

Michigan Journal of International Law

This survey of the domestic registration and disclosure requirements in the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Australia, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Canada, and Japan provides a topical overview of the institutions, requirements, and procedures involved in securities trading in foreign markets. While the goal of a unified international securities regulation system may represent the best long-term course for an efficient world-wide system of capital markets, the necessity to conform to domestic securities regulations will remain important in the coming years.

When The Teachers And Parents Can't Agree, Who Really Decides - Burdens Of Proof And Standards Of Review Under The Education For All Handicapped Children Act, Thomas F. Guernsey

Cleveland State Law Review

Burdens of proof and standards of review can have a significant impact on the outcome of proceedings brought under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act and deserve a more consistently thoughtful approach than has been provided to date. Any confusion that exists may well be the result of courts, including the United States Supreme Court, failing to distinguish the various parts of the administrative process. The simple step of looking realistically at the administrative process (rather than lumping together Local Education Authorities, State Education Authorities, local due process hearings, and state administrative appeals, as the Supreme Court did in …

The Epa's Discretion To Regulate Acid Rain: A Discussion Of The Requirements For Triggering Section 115 Of The Clean Air Act, Stuart N. Keith

Cleveland State Law Review

Acid rain does not respect political boundaries; the problem of acid rain has had a devastating effect on human health and the environment of the northeastern United States as well as the area across the Canadian border. Recognizing the implications of trans-boundary air pollution problems such as acid rain, Congress amended section 115 of the Clean Air Act to permit the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to order the reduction of air pollution menaces emanating from the United States which affect foreign nations. New York v. Thomas is the first major case to interpret section 115 and it will …

Taking The Framers Seriously, William Michael Treanor

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This article reviews Taking the Constitution Seriously by Walter Berns (1987).

This review focuses on three of the key historical points that Walter Berns makes: his arguments that the Declaration of Independence is a Lockean document; that the Constitution encapsulates the political philosophy of the Declaration; and that the framers viewed the commercialization of society as a salutary development and were unambivalent champions of the right to property. Examination of these issues suggests that the ideological universe of the framers was far more complex than Berns indicates. While the revolutionary era witnessed a new concern with individual rights and a …
