Law And Lawyers In The Incident Command System, Clifford J. Villa Jul 2013

Law And Lawyers In The Incident Command System, Clifford J. Villa

Seattle University Law Review

Although the Incident Command System (ICS) has existed for some forty years, the use of ICS grew significantly in the past decade because the United States learned hard lessons from infamous failures of incident management after 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. As such, ICS theory and practice must be understood by legal scholars and practitioners who seek to contribute to the growing fields of climate change adaptation and disaster response. Filling a gap in the legal literature, this article will provide lawyers and legal scholars with an introduction to the Incident Command System, outlining the origin, doctrines, and organizational framework of …


Section 501(C)(4) Advocacy Organizations: Political Candidate-Related And Other Partisan Activities In Furtherance Of The Social Welfare, Terence Dougherty May 2013

Section 501(C)(4) Advocacy Organizations: Political Candidate-Related And Other Partisan Activities In Furtherance Of The Social Welfare, Terence Dougherty

Seattle University Law Review

In the wake of the 2012 presidential election, tax and political law lawyers are left with a number of unanswered questions concerning the political activities of tax-exempt organizations. Despite the importance of these questions, there are striking gaps in the authority of federal tax law governing the conduct of political candidate and other partisan-related activities by tax-exempt organizations. Assuming activities in furtherance of partisan interests are activities that support private interests, I consider what this authority may tell us about the permissibility of Section 501(c)(4) organizations engaging in partisan political activities and having as a constitutive purpose a partisan political …

Must The House Always Win?: A Critique Of Rousso V. State, Rachel J. Schaefer Jun 2011

Must The House Always Win?: A Critique Of Rousso V. State, Rachel J. Schaefer

Seattle University Law Review

Gambling enthusiasts in Washington may be dismayed to learn that while it is legal to place a wager at one of the numerous brick-and-mortar casinos located in the state, placing the same wager over the Internet is a crime. This result arises from a 2006 amendment to Washington Revised Code 9.46.240 (the Gambling Act), which effectively bans individuals from placing bets or wagers over the Internet from Washington. In addition to prohibiting bets made by individuals, the law also prohibits Internet gambling businesses from receiving bets placed by individuals in Washington—even if those gambling businesses operate far from the state’s …

Part IV discusses the possible scope of the explosives statute under each interpretation--without or with a relational element. Finally, Part V concludes by commenting on the future of the explosives statute in light of the Supreme Court's decision, as well as the …

Marketing Law Libraries: Strategies And Techniques In The Digital Age, Kristin Cheney

Faculty Articles

This article provides an overview of basic marketing principles and then examines effective marketing strategies and promotional techniques in an academic environment. While viewed within the context of the law school setting, a majority of the marketing activities discussed are equally applicable in other types of law libraries.

Seattle University Law Review

In order to provide context for the Custer Battles court's opinion, Part II of this Note generally describes the FCA and the policies behind its qui tam provision, discusses policy rationales behind the use of private security contractors by the U.S. government, and highlights how security contractors like Custer Battles fit into that picture within the reality of present-day Iraq. Part III examines the reasoning of the Custer Battles court, and Part IV critiques that reasoning and the application of precedent in this case. Part V proposes an alternative to the court's reasoning which more closely aligns with the interests …

Private Motive And Perpetual Conditions In Charitable Naming Gifts: When Good Names Go Bad, John K. Eason Jan 2005

Private Motive And Perpetual Conditions In Charitable Naming Gifts: When Good Names Go Bad, John K. Eason

Faculty Articles

This article explores the problems that often result from a charitable naming opportunity contribution. A charitable naming opportunity contribution exists when a donor transfers money or property to a charitable organization upon terms that result in an individual's name being associated in some way with the organization, its institutions, activities, or facilities. Implementing such arrangements can become problematic as circumstances change over time. Matters considered here include the meaning of "charity" as affected by a donor's personal desire to perpetuate a name. This article also highlights the quite varied doctrinal analyses that may apply when deviation from the precise terms …


Access Denied: The Problem Of Abused Men In Washington, Melody M. Crick Jan 2004

Access Denied: The Problem Of Abused Men In Washington, Melody M. Crick

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment explains how the Washington legislature and court system have failed to provide abused men with much needed protection, despite a law that is facially gender neutral. Following this Introduction, Part II explores the wording of Washington's domestic violence statutes and analyzes the current implementing regulations. Part III demonstrates that the problem of abused men is legitimate by examining increasing social awareness and the results of current studies. By examining the prevailing national viewpoint embodied in the Violence Against Women Act, Part IV discusses how such a viewpoint adversely affects the availability of resources for abused men. Part V …


Un-Making Law: The Classical Revival In The Common Law, Jay Feinman Jan 2004

Un-Making Law: The Classical Revival In The Common Law, Jay Feinman

Seattle University Law Review

This article describes the possibility of a classical revival in the common law and situates the revival in its historical context. Part I sets the stage by briefly summarizing a century and a half of common-law development. At the end of the Nineteenth Century, classical legal thought envisioned a highly systematic body of law through which courts could mechanically apply abstract legal concepts to reach determinate results, producing limited liability in contract and tort law and expansive property rights. Critics beginning with Holmes and notably including Progressives and legal realists attacked classical law as incomplete and incoherent. Their critique was …


The Road Not Taken: Initial Interest Confusion, Consumer Search Costs, And The Challenge Of The Internet, Michael Grynberg Jan 2004

The Road Not Taken: Initial Interest Confusion, Consumer Search Costs, And The Challenge Of The Internet, Michael Grynberg

Seattle University Law Review

This article critiques the development and application of initial interest confusion and argues for a doctrine based on consumer search costs rather than a trademark owner's goodwill. Part I traces the origin of initial interest confusion and presents a theory, based on minimizing search costs, of when the concept should be applied. It then examines the application of initial interest confusion in light of the courts' uncertainty as to the purpose of the doctrine. Part II describes the doctrinal difficulties caused by the uncritical adoption of initial interest confusion to cases involving the Internet. These problems can be resolved by …

Seattle University Law Review

Part II provides general background information on the development of recall mechanisms. Part III explores how the United States Supreme Court has ruled on recall attempts and the specific guidance the Court has provided for states in developing adequately protective recall processes. Part IV analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the California recall provisions by examining the recall-related opinions of California courts and the complexities of Governor Davis's recall. Part V provides a solution to …

Winning The Battle While Losing The War: Ramifications Of The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court Of Review's First Decision, Stephanie Kornblum

Seattle University Law Review

The Note will then explore the language of the FISA statute, and the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals' continuing reliance on the "primary purpose" test in the analysis of cases decided following the passage of FISA. Following a discussion of the historic FISC and FISA Review Court opinions in Parts III and IV, including an articulation of the Patriot Act amendments to FISA, Part V of the Note will focus on the ramifications of the Review …


Casebooks Are Toast, Robert Laurence Jan 2002

Casebooks Are Toast, Robert Laurence

Seattle University Law Review

Into the fine spinach salad that is this Symposium on commercial law casebooks comes a grain of sand. An annoying defect in the total presentation. A distracting flaw that should not take away from the value of the remainder of the mix, but somehow does. For I am the one whose job it is to say that casebooks as a genre are dying, soon, I think, to become extinct. "Dinosaurs," a prior generation would have called them; "toast" in modern parlance. The future of law school teaching materials lies on the Web.


Blind Faith And Reasonable Doubts: Investigating Beliefs In The Rule Of Law, Jessie Allen Jan 2001

Courts As Watchdogs Of The Washington State Initiative Process, Kenneth P. Miller Jan 2001

Courts As Watchdogs Of The Washington State Initiative Process, Kenneth P. Miller

Seattle University Law Review

This Article describes the high rate at which courts have invali- dated Washington initiatives and then explores why this is so. The Article suggests that it is initiative lawmaking's Populist orientation—with respect to both its unfiltered majoritarian processes and its often—constitutionally suspect substance-that makes initiatives vulnerable to legal attack.


Affirmative Action, The Bell Curve, And Law School Admissions, Ryan Fortson Jan 2001

Affirmative Action, The Bell Curve, And Law School Admissions, Ryan Fortson

Seattle University Law Review

This Article will view the relationship between affirmative action and law school admissions through the lens of The Bell Curve, a book suggesting that a genetic link probably exists between race and intelligence. In The Bell Curve, Charles Murray and Richard J. Herrnstein conduct a statistical analysis on a variety of aptitude tests and other measures of intelligence, concluding that blacks and whites do differ on standardized tests of cognitive ability, even when controlling for such factors as motivation and socioeconomic status. Indeed, much of the book is geared toward discounting environmental explanations of intelligence scores. The relevancy …
