Antitrust Implementation Interpretation Law - HOME Antitrust Implementation Interpretation Law Acting for Endangered Species: The Statutory Ark by Shannon C. Petersen, X When Congress passed the Endangered Species Act in 1973, it did so in the belief that threats to emblematic creatures like bison or commercial crops such as fish could be resolved simply by placing limits on hunting and trade. Few lawmakers could have foreseen how the implementation of that law would change over the years, as the directive to save seemingly insignificant species would extend to the protection of entire ecosystems. As the courts have interpreted the law in the light of a better understanding of science, the ESA increasingly has become a tool used ...

Constitution of Mexico - HOME Constitution of Mexico The Divine Charter: Constitutionalism and Liberalism in Nineteenth-Century Mexico: Constitutionalism and Liberalism in Nineteenth-Century Mexico Although Mexico began its national life in 1821 as one of the most liberal democracies in the world, it ended the century with an authoritarian regime.

California Employment Law - HOME California Employment Law Affirmative Action on Trail: Sex Discrimination in Johnson V Santa Clara Affirmative action continues to be one of the most hotly contested issues in America. Volatile and divisive, the debates over its legitimacy have inspired a number of "reverse discrimination" suits in the federal courts. Like the landmark 1978 Bakke decision, most of these have focused on preferential treatment given racial minorities. In Johnson v.
