Whose Genes Are These Anyway?: Familial Conflicts Over Access To Genetic Information, Sonia M. Suter Jun 1993

Whose Genes Are These Anyway?: Familial Conflicts Over Access To Genetic Information, Sonia M. Suter

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues first that courts and legislatures should follow a presumption against mandating disclosure of a person's genetic information to third parties. Second, genetic testing for the benefit of a third party should not, and constitutionally cannot, be compelled. Part I presents an overview of genetics and discusses the special legal and ethical issues genetic testing poses. Part II examines the issue of nonconsensual disclosure to family members, who could potentially use the information from tests that have already been performed. This Part concludes that there should be a presumption against disclosure. Part III examines a related, but different, …

The Best Mode Requirement In United States Patent Practice In 1993, 12 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 353 (1993), Kenneth R. Adamo

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

This article discusses the best mode requirement set forth in section 112 of the United States Patent Act. This requirement is unique to United States patent law and must be satisfied by every utility patent application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This article then discusses how decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit have helped clarify and refine the best mode requirement and its application to patents in the field of computer technology (i.e., In re Hayes Microcomputer Products). Then it discusses how these holdings have made this already difficult area …

Security Requirements And Evidentiary Issues In The Interchange Of Electronic Documents: Steps Toward Developing A Security Policy, 12 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 425 (1993), Peter N. Weiss Jan 1993

Security Requirements And Evidentiary Issues In The Interchange Of Electronic Documents: Steps Toward Developing A Security Policy, 12 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 425 (1993), Peter N. Weiss

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

As the business world turns from using paper to electronic documents, the security aspects of electronic documents must be examined. No law has dealt with the security of electronic documents. Therefore, guidelines for assessing the relative security of an electronic document compared to its paper counterpart is essential to the continuing success of the electronic document in the business world. Aspects of the legal admissibility of electronic documents follow that of traditional paper documents. A finding that a document, paper or electronic, is genuine and reliable allows it to pass the scrutiny of legal admissibility. In order to prove a …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

This comment discusses computer virus crimes under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986. More specifically, it addresses the inadequate sentencing scheme of this act. The comment first discusses computer viruses in general and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The comment proposes a new sentencing scheme by which individual sentences would be allocated according to the damages caused by a computer virus propagator. It also illustrates the utility of such a scheme in both current criminal and civil law. It then discusses the ways in which computer virus damages can be quantified. The conclusion of this comment is …


The Impact Of Nafta On The United States Computer Industry: Why Trade Reforms Will Spark Increased Exports To Mexico, 12 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 467 (1993), Michelle A. Kaiser Jan 1993

The Impact Of Nafta On The United States Computer Industry: Why Trade Reforms Will Spark Increased Exports To Mexico, 12 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 467 (1993), Michelle A. Kaiser

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

This article focuses on computer industry trade barriers in Mexico that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) will eliminate. The two trade barriers that have caused problems for the U.S. in exporting computer products and services into Mexico are high protective tariffs and software piracy. NAFTA is needed by American vendors and manufacturers of computer products and services in order to keep from remaining as outsiders to Mexico’s market. This comment first discusses the background on trade relations between the United States and Mexico. It then demonstrates why NAFTA is essential to increased computer exports into Mexico, which includes …


An Analysis That Is Not "Ad Hoc": The Bifurcated Uniform Analysis That The Federal Courts Should Follow To Determine Computer Program Copyright Nonliteral Infringement, 12 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 485 (1993), Michael J. Bendel Jan 1993

An Analysis That Is Not "Ad Hoc": The Bifurcated Uniform Analysis That The Federal Courts Should Follow To Determine Computer Program Copyright Nonliteral Infringement, 12 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 485 (1993), Michael J. Bendel

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

This article examines the issues surrounding software copyright protection and the problem of inconsistent court analysis across the country. After reviewing the problems particular to software copyright, the author recommends a new course of court analysis that would bring consistent analysis and decisions to this growing area of law. Courts have begun to examine the scope of protection the Copyright Act grants to computer software beyond the literal text of the software's programming language. Two classifications for computer programs have developed: literal, which focuses on the actual text of the program, and non-literal, which is concerned with organization, structure and …


State Interest Analysis And The Channeling Function, Carl E. Scheider Jan 1993

State Interest Analysis And The Channeling Function, Carl E. Scheider

Book Chapters

In this article, I wish to criticize the narrowness of the Supreme Court's conception of the interests states may advance to justify statutes challenged on constitutional privacy grounds. I also wish to identify and describe one of the several state interests that not infrequently undergirds such legislation but that the Court has failed to understand.


Your Right To Privacy And The Aids Virus: A Selective Bibliography, Sandra S. Klein Jan 1993

Your Right To Privacy And The Aids Virus: A Selective Bibliography, Sandra S. Klein

Journal Articles

The AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) virus has had a profound impact upon the lives of people everywhere. One aspect of this impact can be seen in the invasion into areas that had hitherto been believed by most to be private: sexual activity/preferences, medical records/testing, etc. An intensely personal and private tragedy has become, because of its nature~ a matter of public concern. The bibliography which follows addresses the privacy concerns of those infected with the AIDS virus.


The Right Of Privacy, Sustained, Gerard V. Bradley Jan 1993

The Right Of Privacy, Sustained, Gerard V. Bradley

Journal Articles

Traditionally the "right of privacy" concerned the security of certain places (chiefly, one's home) and, to a lesser extent, materials (books, papers) that were especially self-revealing. This right of privacy makes eminent philosophical sense, and it is protected by explicit constitutional guarantees, conspicuously including the Fourth Amendment, which provides that "[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated." The Rehnquist Court has regularly accorded less weight to this privacy in the "balance" against "law enforcement interests" than did the Warren and Burger Courts. Expanded authority …

Protecting Donar Privacy In Aids Related Blood Bank Litigation—Doe V. Puget Sound Blood Center, 117 Wash. 2d 772, 819 P.2d 370 (1991), Anne Marie Logerfo Oct 1992

Protecting Donar Privacy In Aids Related Blood Bank Litigation—Doe V. Puget Sound Blood Center, 117 Wash. 2d 772, 819 P.2d 370 (1991), Anne Marie Logerfo

Washington Law Review

One controversial issue in blood bank AIDS litigation is whether courts should permit infected plaintiffs to conduct discovery of information about the blood donor who contributed the contaminated blood. Many courts have taken a reasonable middle ground by allowing limited discovery of a blood donor provided that the donor's identity remains confidential. In a recent case, the Washington Supreme Court provided no such limitation on blood donor discovery. This Note argues that the court's decision infringes on the significant privacy interests of the blood donor and violates the public's interest in an adequate blood supply while providing little or no …

The Supreme Court As Risk Manager: An Analysis Of Skinner, Todd F. Volyn, James F. Mogan, Lisa M. White

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Examining a recent case in which the U.S. Supreme Court approved the collection of blood and urine samples from railroad employees, the authors conclude that, in attempting to improve railroad safety, both majority and minority opinions reflected undue emphasis on technical issues and inadequate attention to the intangible social values underlying traditional Constitutional rights to privacy.
