Methods of forest law-making
Article Abstract:
US states have a variety of tools for affecting forestry management by private owners, falling into the categories of direct regulation, incentives and disincentives, and encouraging voluntary measures. Direct regulation and incentives are the most common, with more recent regulations expanding beyond reforestation to contemplate other environmental protections. Tax incentives are popular, but disincentives remain underused. Future emphasis will lie on recreational and aesthetic uses, and nonregulatory means.

How these elements interrelate affect everyone.

The open door: will the right to die survive Washington v. Glucksberg and Vacco v. Quill?
Article Abstract:
The Supreme Court's Glucksberg and Quill opinions paved the way for an 'open door' as regards the issue of physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia. Individuals accused of engaging in the practice can simply petition the courts to evaluate their individual circumstances for proof that the State's legitimate interests in a blanket prohibition do not apply to themselves personally. The Court's seeming ambivalence inevitably allows each individual state to judge at their own discretion.
