REDEFINING JURISDICTIONAL LIMITS IN THE CLEAN WATER ACT: "TRIBUTARY" ACQUIRES NEW MEANING WITH HELP FROM CHEVRON AND SEMINOLE ROCK DEFERENCE [UNITED STATES V. DEATON, 332 F.3D 698 (4TH CIR. 2003)] |
43 Washburn Law Journal 459 (Winter 2004) |
There is no limiting principle to a theory that bases federal [Clean Water Act] authority on the notion that water molecules might migrate downhill and eventually flow into rivers, streams, and oceans. When the Cuyahoga River in Ohio spontaneously caught fire in 1969, the federal government realized something was terribly wrong with America's... |

RISING IMPORTS, BIOTERRORISM, AND THE FOOD SUPPLY |
59 Food & Drug Law Journal 433 (2004) |
In November 2003, imported produce was implicated in one of the United States' most devastating outbreaks of foodborne illness. The outbreak was nearly as large as the 1993 Jack in the Box outbreak, and killed almost as many people. This time, instead of fast food hamburgers, green onions imported from Mexico were the cause of this fatal Hepatitis... |

SHAKING PRICE WATERHOUSE: SUGGESTIONS FOR A MORE WORKABLE APPROACH TO TITLE VIII MIXED MOTIVE DISPARATE TREATMENT DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS |
37 Indiana Law Review 815 (2004) |
In 1968, Congress enacted Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 for the express purpose of providing fair housing and eliminating discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, religion, and national origin. In applying Title VIII, courts often have looked to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for interpretation as mandated by... |

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... |

"A BREATHTAKING ASSERTION OF POWER" ? |
30 Ecology Law Quarterly 543 (2003) |
In Pronsolino v. Nastri, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a landmark district court decision interpreting Section 303 of the Clean Water Act to apply to nonpoint source pollution.

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... |

5 University of Pennsylvania Journal of Labor and Employment Law 303 (Winter 2003) |
An employer swings by his sales agent's office to deliver his recent subpar sales figures. After dropping the agent's sales figures on the agent's desk, the boss shakes his head and utters, Just like a Dago. Later that day he fires the agent. The agent decides to sue.

26-FALL Environs Environmental Law and Policy Journal 121 (Fall, 2002) |
In their operation of the Delta export pumps, the water agencies have routinely exceeded the take limits for winter-run salmon and Delta smelt ever since these fish were listed under the Endangered Species Act and the take limits were established.

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... |

During one of his judicial tours throughout Colorado in the 1870s, Judge Moses Hallett, the John Marshall of the Colorado legal system, recognized that many of the same jurors who served in one location would re-appear for jury service in the next. When Judge Hallett asked the reason for this strange coincidence, the local sheriff responded: The... |

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... |

GROWTH MANAGEMENT AND WESTERN WATER LAW FROM URBAN OASES TO ARCHIPELAGOS |

The West is in another boom cycle and all projections indicate that this unique region will continue to capture a substantial share of the country's population growth well into the next century. Western states grew by about 32 percent in the past twenty-five years, compared with 19 percent in the rest of the nation. From 1990 to 1995, ten of the... |
