It's About Time: The Need For A Uniform Approach To Using A Prior Conviction To Impact A Witness., Robert F. Holland Jan 2008

It's About Time: The Need For A Uniform Approach To Using A Prior Conviction To Impact A Witness., Robert F. Holland

St. Mary's Law Journal

In Texas, no uniform approach exists in determining whether to admit evidence of a prior conviction as a technique to impeach a witness. This lack of uniformity leads to significant consequences for the parties and poses a potential prejudicial effect on the truthful character of a witness. Furthermore, there is currently no bright-line judicial standard when evaluating the admissibility of certain prior convictions. Although the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in Theus v. State provided a non-exhaustive set of factors for trial judges to consider, the court has yet to clarify particular aspects of how to properly apply Texas Rule …


A Review Of Barriers To Biofuel Market Development In The United States, Karl R. Rábago Jan 2008

A Review Of Barriers To Biofuel Market Development In The United States, Karl R. Rábago

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

In recent years, biofuel markets have begun a resurgence. At one time, biofuels were the only way humanity obtained useful energy, but they were almost totally displaced by fossil fuels during the last century. Now, due to a range of drivers, they have begun a small but seemingly solid comeback. This Article reviews the remaining barriers to full commercial success for biofuels in the United States with an emphasis on transportation fuels.

Don't Be Left Out In The Cold: An Argument For Advancing American Interests In The Arctic Outside The Ambits Of The United Nations Convention On The Law Of The Sea, Jason W. Howard Jan 2008

Don't Be Left Out In The Cold: An Argument For Advancing American Interests In The Arctic Outside The Ambits Of The United Nations Convention On The Law Of The Sea, Jason W. Howard

Georgia Law Review

In the world of fast-depleting fossil fuel reserves, any area promising new sources of oil and natural gas will be valuable to the nation controlling it. The Arctic Circle could be such an area. Recognizing this, in August 2007, while gathering scientific data, a submarine placed a titanium Russian flag on the Arctic seafloor in a symbolic statement of Russia's claim to the area. As Russia and other nations prepare their claims under the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, the United States, because it has not yet ratified the treaty, is left to defend its interest outside …
