THE NEW DISCRIMINATION LAW: PRICE WATERHOUSE IS DEAD, WHITHER MCDONNELL DOUGLAS? |
53 Emory Law Journal 1887 (Fall 2004) |
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things, The hand that mock'd them... |

THE QUIET "WELFARE" REVOLUTION: RESURRECTING THE FOOD STAMP ROGRAM IN THE WAKE OF THE 1996 WELFARE LAW |
79 New York University Law Review 1271 (October, 2004) |
Cash-assistance programs have long been a focus of both liberal and conservative efforts to make symbolic statements. In this regard, the 1996 dismantlement of federal entitlement to cash assistance was nothing new. Although the 1996 welfare law also made deep cuts to in-kind programs, such as food stamps, these programs had less symbolic... |

RUNNING ON EMPTY . OR WATER OR GATORADE? SAFFERO v. ELITE RACTING |
1 DePaul Journal of Sports Law & Contemporary Problems 97 (Spring, 2003) |
Millions of people participate successfully in marathons each year. The days are gone where only super fit, workout fanatics run marathons. While more accessible to the average person these days, a marathon is still a grueling 26.2 miles. So grueling, in fact, that the term marathon was coined by the ancient Greeks when a messenger ran this... |

TAKE THAT TOBACCO SETTLEMENT AND SUPER-SIZE IT!: THE DEEP-FRYING OF THE FAST FOOD INDUSTRY? |
13 Temple Political & Civil Rights Law Review 113 (Fall 2003) |
[S]ome of the tactics that are so effective against smoking could also be useful against obesity. . . . Fast-food companies could soon face similar suits for failing to disclose in commercials that some of their meals contain many times the recommended daily allowance of fat. Obesity is a public health epidemic that costs the U.S. economy more than... |

26-FALL Environs Environmental Law and Policy Journal 121 (Fall, 2002) |

INTERSTATE WATER ALLOCATION: A CONTEMPORARY PRIMER FOR EASTERN STATES |
25 University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review 155 (Fall 2002) |
Interstate water allocation law in the United States is roughly 100 years old at this point in history. To date, with a few notable exceptions, the states of the American West have made the law. This is to be expected because allocation becomes vital as a means of providing predictability and security of right under conditions of scarcity and... |

LESSONS FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OF WESTERN WATER LAW FOR EMERGING WATER MARKETS: COMMON LAW VS. CENTRAL PLANNING |
80 Oregon Law Review 861 (Fall 2001) |
Population growth, particularly in the arid regions of the world, has pushed water resource questions to the forefront. Even conservative estimates of the world's population project that it will reach 8,043,000,000 by 2030, an increase of more than two billion people from 1998. Such an increase will result in greater demands on water resources, and... |

"BAD FOR BUSINESS": CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS, RACE DISCRIMINATION, AND FAST FOOD |
34 John Marshall Law Review 207 (Fall 2000) |
If race truly mattered, legal argument, writing, and scholarship would pay much more attention to context than it does today. Not being particularly interested in the material/social interactions and positioning of the parties that lead up to lawsuits or the material/social consequences of decisions after they are rendered, legal analysis as it is... |

34 John Marshall Law Review 245 (Fall 2000) |
Racists are people who are afraid. [T]he general effect of the dominance-subjection relation is to destroy both parties, each by the other, and each in a specific manner. Though the corrosive suffering of the victim is wholly incommensurate with and overshadows the psychic deformation of the victimizer, one nevertheless does not transform oneself... |

RECONNECTING PROPERTY RIGHTS TO WATERSHEDS |
25 William and Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review 69 (Autumn, 2000) |
This article examines the extent to which common law property rights use watershed resources to promote watershed conservation. The modest thesis of the article is that for over two centuries, land and water law has functioned to detach property rights from specific landscapes and, thus, has contributed to landscape degradation. There is a need to... |
