Section 7209 Of The Intelligence Reform And Terrorism Prevention Act Of 2004: Balancing The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative With International Tourism And Homeland Security, Marc Philip Hedrich

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

A disproportionately large percentage of worldwide international tourism revenue comes from the spending of U.S. citizens abroad or by foreigners visiting the United States. The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative ("WHTI"), as mandated by Section 7209 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, puts intra-North American international tourism at risk. This Comment is an analysis of the WHTI and its effects on international tourism and homeland security in the United States.

“Forward” In Recent Developments In Minnesota Law, Eric S. Janus

Faculty Scholarship

Introduction to Issue 4 of Volume 34 of the William Mitchell Law Review. The issue has a dual focus. The first part of the issue examines an eclectic collection of Minnesota laws and cases. The issue begins with a retrospective on the opinions of Associate Justice Sam Hanson, then turns to the Law Review’s traditional—and critical—look at selected (mostly recent) Minnesota Supreme Court decisions, and finally scans and audits the state’s animal protection laws. The second part of the issue has a decidedly more international scope, reflecting the robust work of William Mitchell’s Tobacco Law Center, particularly the work product …

Child Welfare And Future Persons, Carter Dillard

Georgia Law Review

While ethicists have delved deeply into the rights and wrongs of procreating,lawyers have had little to say about the matter, because they are stymied by practical concerns, by the tendency of the law to ignore prospective children and their interests,and by the misperception that a fundamental rights boundary absolutely forbids state intervention. But recently a small door has opened in this wall between law and ethics: courts faced with repeatedly having to remove abused and neglected children from parents judged unfit, have issued temporary no-procreation orders. As precedent builds and the possibility of ex ante regulation of procreation and parenthood …

Scholarly Works

Among other notable aspects of the litigation, the cases reached the New York Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court, which at that time included two of the most eminent jurists in the history of the United States, Judge Benjamin N. Cardozo and Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, …

Law On The Street: Legal Narrative And The Street Law Classroom, Elizabeth L. Macdowell

Scholarly Works

This Article argues that the failure of anti-discrimination law to address the problems of subordination reflects the hegemonic perspective in legal narratives. For the lawyer concerned with social change, it is imperative to identify these narratives and the ways in which they not only inhibit deep social change, but may perpetuate the conditions of subordination. Yet, law school polices against the consciousness necessary for the lawyer to identify the hegemonic narrative in the law, and often instills attitudes, which are antithetical to the project of social change. In this context, Street Law - a practical law course taught by law …

Only Skin Deep: The Cost Of Partisan Politics On Minority Diversity Of The Federal Bench: Why Care Whether Judges Look “Like America” If, Because Of Politics, A “Voice Of Color” Has Become A “Whisper Of Color”?, Sylvia R. Lazos

Scholarly Works

This article explores the difficulties encountered in diversifying the federal bench and why the partisanship of the confirmation process decreases the diversity of viewpoints on the bench. Presidents value diversity in nominating judges. While Bill Clinton and George W. Bush had very contrasting political styles and judicial philosophies, the judges appointed by these two presidents now account for almost 80% of the current active federal minority judges. There has been progress in the area of descriptive diversity; currently 18% of the active federal bench is made up of minority judges according to data compiled from the Judicial Center. However, there …

Who Should Own The Air?: A Closer Look At Smoking Bans, Stacy Mcmullen

Honors Program Theses

Smoking bans result from public health concerns. There are well over 70,000 articles in peer-reviewed journals that link smoking with various health problems [Chaloupka et al. 2004-2005, 2]. There are also a number of states currently debating statewide bans. Are statewide smoking bans the answer to the tobacco problem or are they simply an example of excessive paternalism? The purpose of this paper is to examine the two sides of the argument and determine whether policymakers should implement smoking bans. It will show that, in the end, nonsmokers should own the air, and smoking bans should be implemented to protect …
