Separate But Equal Legacy of Chief Justice Bill Rehnquist
|
|
Most White Americans have no idea that Chief Justice Bill Rehnquist, while he served as a law clerk to Justice Robert Jackson in 1952-53, wrote a legal memo defending the old and reviled "separate but equal" doctrine. But Black Americans are well aware that Rehnquist espoused beliefs that would have kept them out of public schools, out of public colleges and universities, using filthy and cracked public toilets, drinking out of separate water fountains, etc. Rehnquist’s voting record on the court speaks louder than any excuses offered during his confirmation hearings. He has sought to gut the holding of Brown v. Board, whenever possible, as with other civil rights holdings, including the important Miranda warnings that police officers must give suspects upon detaining them. |

Copyright Transfer - Read the Fine Print Even on the Web
|
|
While you might think that you are safe from transfering your copyright when using the web to transmit your images, be careful. Although a copyright transfer must be in writing and signed by the copyright owner, the law has caught up with technology. You now can “sign” a document by responding electronically. A contract may be in any memorandum form, including electronic mail. It is “signed” by any mark, written, stamped or engraved, that demonstrates the intent to agree to the contract. So read the fine print before transmitting your images on the web to protect your copyrights. |
