Three years ago, I asked Ken Ziffren ’65, co-chair of our Board of Advisors, adjunct professor at UCLA Law and entertainment lawyer extraordinaire, to chair a faculty/alumni working group to create a new entertainment law program that would build on the legacy of the one created by Mel Nimmer many decades ago. As the articles in these pages make clear, this effort has been extraordinarily successful. Today, UCLA School of Law’s Entertainment and Media Law and Policy Program is the best programofitskindinthenation.AsIcrossthecountrymeetingwithprospectivestudents, I hear over and over again that they have chosen to come to Westwood because this is the place to be if they want to become entertainment lawyers or entrepreneurs. Importantly, this program mixes the theoretical with the practical. Our entertainment andmediafacultycomprisesomeoftheleadingtheoristsinthelawofcopyright,patents, communications and the First Amendment. They are joined by the foremost entertainment law practitioners in the nation, who bring invaluable insights about how the law plays out in real deals and court cases. Add to this incredible mixture such distinguishedvisitinglecturersandprofessorsasMichaelEisner,andyoucanseewhythe program is so rich and exciting. DEAN MICHAEL H. SCHILL Read on, and you also will learn about our new Law and Philosophy Program. Our school hasledthewayinapplyingphilosophicalinsightstothestudyoflaweversinceHerbMorris was jointly appointed in the Department of Philosophy and UCLA School of Law. Today, UCLA Law has 11 members with advanced degrees in philosophy or political theory. Our new program, led by Professor Seana Shiffrin, will include a specialization in law and philosophy, as well as a joint J.D./Ph.D program. I am confident that our program will quickly become one of the top programs nationwide and will help launch the careers of generations of legal academics. TheseareonlysomeoftheexcitingdevelopmentsoccurringatUCLASchoolofLaw. The past two issues of the magazine highlighted our extraordinary program in Business Law and Policy and the Epstein Program in Public Interest Law and Policy.

Rather than immerse myself in what was the case, I want the tools for using moral philosophy to generate theory from the bottom up.” One of her current projects is studying the relative autonomy of organizations within larger institutions to make claims and legislate on their behalf, for example, religiously run day care centers. A respected teacher and scholar, Barbara Herman is a welcome addition to the UCLA Law faculty.

  • Self-Help and the Nature of Property
    2005] SELF-HELP AND THE NATURE OF PROPERTY Henry E. Smith* I. INTRODUCTION Self-help and the law's response to it lie at the center of a system of property rights. This has become all the more apparent as questions of property - and whether to employ property law at all - have arisen in the digital world. In this Article, I argue that self-help comes in different varie- ties corresponding to different strategies for delineating entitlements. Like property entitlements more generally, the law does not regulate self-help in as detailed a fashion as it could if delineation were costless. Both property entitlements and self-help show far less symmetry and a far lesser degree of tailoring than we would expect in a world in which we did not face delinea- tion costs of devising, describing, communicating, and enforcing the con- tent of rights and privileges to use resources. Part II of this Article sets the stage for an analysis of self-help by showing how the law-and-economics treatment of entitlements leads one to expect greater symmetry in entitlements than is to be found in the law. In the commentary, rights to be free from pollution are paired conceptually with so-called rights to pollute, but the law does not provide for free stand- ing rights - as opposed to occasional privileges - to pollute. Part III shows how these apparent anomalies receive an explanation on a theory of enti- tlement delineation that accounts broadly for costs as well as benefits. Roughly speaking, the law faces a choice among strategies for delineating entitlements, and in the choice among these strategies, the benefits of mul- tiple uses of resources must be traded off against the costs of delineation and enforcement.

INSURING AGAINST TERRORISM -AND CRIME Saul Levmore* and Kyle D. Logue** I. INTRODUCTION The attacks of September 11th produced staggering losses of life and property. They also brought forth substantial private-insurance payouts, as well as federal relief for the City of New York and for the families of individuals who perished on that day. The losses suffered during and after the attacks, and the structure of the relief effort, have raised questions about the availability of insurance against terrorism, the role of government in providing for, subsidizing, or ensuring the presence of such insurance, as well as the interaction between relief and the incentives for taking precautions against similar losses in the future.

TULANE LAW REVIEW VOLUME 61 DECEMBER 1986 NUMBER 2 RETHINKING COMPARATIVE LAW: VARIETY AND UNIFORMITY IN ANCIENT AND MODERN TORT LAW SAUL LEVMORE* Ancient codes and customary laws have a great deal of sub- ject matter in common with one another and with contemporary legal systems. It could hardly be otherwise. Any system of rules that seeks to regulate behavior or resolve disputes in a commu- nity that is too large to rely solely on informal sanctions, but that is large enough for its rules to have been' recorded in a way that allowed survival to the present day, must deal with murder, theft, accident prevention, insolvent debtors, and other circum- stances in which, for various reasons, purely private agreements and enforcement mechanisms are likely to be inferior to more formal rules and arrangements. Indeed, nearly every legal sys- tem of which we are aware, from ancient Babylon to our own, not only contains rules about murder and theft but also deals with inheritance, marital obligations, and those mundane mat- ters that are the stuff of private law.
