THE SILVER ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITED STATES' EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE: TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF OCEAN USE AND ABUSE, AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A BLUE WATER PUBLIC TRUST DOCTRINE |
36 Ecology Law Quarterly 1 (2009) |
Sustainably managing marine ecosystems has proved nearly impossible, with few success stories. Ecosystem management failures largely stem from the traditional sector-by-sector, issue-by-issue approach to managing ocean-borne activities--an approach that is fundamentally unable to keep pace with the dynamics of coupled human, ecological and... |

Furthermore, the emerging... |

FAIR FARE?: FOOD AS CONTESTED TERRAIN IN U.S. PRISONS AND JAILS |
15 Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law and Policy 49 (Spring, 2008) |
The degree of civilization of a society is revealed by entering its prisons. No one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. Prisons and jails, by their very nature, implicate power relations. Although attitudes towards conditions of confinement, as well as the conditions themselves, have changed over the years (evolved or... |

IS IT SAFE TO DRINK THE WATER? |
19 Duke Environmental Law and Policy Forum 1 (Fall 2008) |
If you board a ferry in bustling Hong Kong, cross to Lantau Island, and get on a local bus, the forests of cranes atop new buildings soon give way to forested hills, too steep for the construction boom to reach. An hour's ride up the spines of the mountain range brings you to Po Lin Monastery. Towering above the temple buildings sits Tian Tan... |

Will the water demands of the apparently unstoppable population increases of the ever-exploding cities of America's Southwest ultimately be a factor in limiting that expansion? Historically the Field of Dreams phenomenon has ruled the day: the suburbs have sprouted and the water to keep them green has arrived. Are times changing? What happens if... |

That childhood obesity is an alarming public health problem is clear and widely appreciated. What is altogether unclear is what our society should do about it. Some people think the solution lies in using tort law to sue McDonald's, Coca-Cola, and other corporations. We reject that notion. Others believe that government should order specific... |
