A big polluter sees the light

Article Abstract:

Crown Cork and Seal Co. has been successful in implementing pollution prevention measures while reaping monetary returns. Its new corporate office in Philadelphia has energy saving lighting systems which not only reduce energy bills by 40% but also reduces environmental pollution as well. Electric utilities emit harmful chemicals during power generation, thus, the reduction in power consumption at Crown's corporate office has been estimated by the EPA to lead to a reduction of 1,375 tons of carbon dioxide and 11 tons of sulfur dioxide.

Implementing Waters v. Churchill in light of the Loudermill pretermination hearing

Article Abstract:

The US Supreme Court failed to issue guidance on the extent to which a public employer must investigate before termination in order to vindicate an employee's right to free speech under the First Amendment in its Waters v. Churchill decision. This issue has been further complicated by its links with Loudermill pretermination hearing procedures. The Waters v. Churchill case does not indicate that a pretermination hearing is necessary when an employee is believed to be guilty of misconduct which does not involve speech.

Forgive us our sins: the inadequacies of the clergy-penitent privilege

Article Abstract:

The clergy-penitent privilege does not completely meet the requirements of the First Amendment as the privilege is understood by most courts and legislatures, thus at times violating the Amendment's Establishment Clause by unduly preferencing religion. At other times, the privilege protects insufficiently, offending the concepts of religious liberty and tolerance at the root of the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses.
