When a Rose isn’t “Arose” isn’t Arroz: A Guide to Footnoting for Informational Clarity and Scholarly Discourse

The essence of footnoting is communication with the reader, but footnote communication that is literally subordinate to the primary text. What a footnote communicates therefore depends upon and extends what the primary text communicates, from telling the reader where to find the source of a reference made in the text through guiding the reader to the different ideas of other members of the invisible college of scholars in the field. By remaining sensitive to the purposes of different footnotes and the needs of the reader, effective footnoting can make a valuable contribution to scholarship

Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Find Me the Perfect (Decanal) Match

I have been asked to address the question, “How do you know which deanship is the right one?” Since I am the only panel member never to have served as the dean of a law school, this naturally involves some speculation on my part. I have interviewed for some decanal positions, and have even had my name forwarded to university presidents more than once, but I have never found the right fit premised by the panel\u27s topic. As a result, a little further into this essay, speculation even ventures into fiction or, as law professors like to call it, a hypothetical exercise

Cumulation of Import Statistics in Injury Investigations before the International Trade Commission

United States manufacturers have sometimes found themselves unable to identify which unfair import competitors have injured their industries when sources of unfair competition exist in more than one country. These manufacturers have had some redress from unfair trade available to them through various federal trade laws, including, inter alia, the antidumping and countervailing duty laws. Until recently, however, these laws have largely addressed unfair trade competition coming from a single foreign country source at a time; they have not, however, addressed the hammering effect of unfair competition from many sources operating in the market at once or sequentially. The International Trade Commission ( Commission ) is the federal agency responsible for determining injury to domestic industries under these trade laws. Over the years the Commission has developed an analytic approach for dealing with multiple-source injury to domestic industries. This approach is known as cumulation. When the Commission applies this approach, it combines import statistics from all the cumulated sources and assesses their combined impact upon the domestic industry for purposes of determining whether the domestic industry has been injured. When foreign competition is considered en masse, its impact appears more significant, thereby increasing the likelihood that the Commission will make an affirmative injury determination

Copyright & Privacy - Through the Wide-Angle Lens, 4 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 285 (2005)

Some have proposed “alternative compensation schemes” as a means of compensating copyright owners and creators for P2P activity while avoiding litigation. Some have proposed a streamlined dispute resolution system that would allow for enforcement in a manner analogous to the UDRP model. Others question whether private copying should necessarily be viewed as illegal and whether any alternative compensation scheme is viable. With all of these proposals, the question remains as to whether “alternative compensation” is really alternative
