Environmental Justice And Community-Based Reparations, Catherine Millas Kaiman 2016 Seattle University School of Law

Environmental Justice And Community-Based Reparations, Catherine Millas Kaiman

Seattle University Law Review

This Article seeks to illuminate the lack of adequate legal remedies that are available for low-income, predominantly minority communities that have suffered historic environmental injustices. The Article not only discusses the lack of adequate legal remedies, but also proposes the use of local, state, and federal reparations programs for communities that have previously suffered environmental injustices; are still living with the effects of environmental injustices, by way of disease, air, soil, and water pollution; or are suffering current and ongoing environmental injustices. As has been recently illustrated by Michigan’s state action of providing lead-contaminated water for over a year to …

Rent-Seeking And Inter Partes Review: An Analysis Of Invalidity Assertion Entities In Patent Law, W. Michael Schuster 2016 Oklahoma State University

Rent-Seeking And Inter Partes Review: An Analysis Of Invalidity Assertion Entities In Patent Law, W. Michael Schuster

Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review

This Essay is the first analysis of a recent entrant on the patent landscape: the Invalidity Assertion Entity (IAE). IAEs engage in rent-seeking by demanding payment from patent holders in exchange for not attempting to invalidate their patents through administrative action before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The response to IAEs has been uniformly negative. Reflexive proposals have been raised in Congress (unsurprisingly) to terminate the IAE business model. In contrast to the common response to IAEs, this Essay discusses how profit-driven IAEs may generate socially beneficial externalities and why legislating to end the IAE business model is imprudent.

Kejahatan Lingkungan Oleh Korporasi: Mencari Bentuk Pertanggungjawaban Korporasi Dan Pemimpin/Pengurus Korporasi Untuk Kejahatan Lingkungan Di Indonesia?, Muhammad Andri Gunawan Wibisana

Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan

It is very likely that most environmental crimes involve corporation, in the sense that the crimes were conducted within the scope of corporation and on behalf of the corporation. This contribution attempts to answer the questions of how corporate criminal liability has evolved in several jurisdictions, and how this concept has been interpreted and implemented in Indonesia. The contribution explains the development of corporate criminal liability, and classifies it into liability for corporation and liability for corporate officers. Based on such theoretical foundations, the contribution critically analyses the formulation of corporate criminal liability and officers' liability in various legislations related …

The Scrivener’S Error, Ryan D. Doerfler 2016 Northwestern Pritzker School of Law

The Scrivener’S Error, Ryan D. Doerfler

Northwestern University Law Review

It is widely accepted that courts may correct legislative drafting mistakes, i.e., so-called scrivener’s errors, if and only if such mistakes are “absolutely clear.” The rationale is that if a court were to recognize a less clear error, it might be “rewriting” the statute rather than correcting a technical mistake.

This Article argues that the standard is much too strict. The current rationale ignores that courts can “rewrite,” i.e., misinterpret, a statute both by recognizing an error and by failing to do so. Accordingly, because the current doctrine is designed to protect against one type of mistake (false positives) but …
