		March 2006 – Articles -CONSTITUTIONAL LAW- KOREMATSU V. THE UNITED STATES AND JAPANESE CIVIL RIGHTS IN AMERICA [pdf] By Sam Sedaei February 19, 1942 is considered one of the darkest days of Japanese civil liberties in the United States. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt ordered the mass evacuation of all individuals of Japanese descent from the West Coast and their relocation in internment camps. However, what has been considered the most significant aspect of Korematsu v. The United States is its demonstration of the U.S. governmental institutions’ inclination to sacrifice the civil liberties of the minority in order to protect the security of the majority at the time. -TORT LAW- ECONOMIC BENEFIT OF TORT REFORM [pdf] By David Baxter The purpose of this paper is to display the economic benefit of reforming the U.S. tort system. The reform of this system has become one of the most heated political debates in recent years as a result of the direction the system has taken. Baxter argues that as the country has become more litigious, the state of the tort system has come to be regarded as a crisis. Frivolous law suits that result in large awards handed out by juries have caused the system to grow with large increases in the cost the system imposes upon the economy. This paper will present a view on the U.S. tort system is and what problems it is facing today. -LAW AND ECONOMICS- COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY [pdf] By Sam Sedaei In 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright of Dayton, Ohio, made the first successful flights, and manufactured well-controlled aircraft two years later. This initial success in the centuries-long dream of flight marked the beginning of the road to the emergence of the aircraft industry, the United States’ number one industry, having realized close to 140 billion dollars in sales in 1999, including 62 billion dollars in exports to other countries (ICAF). An important segment of this industry consists of commercial aircraft producers. This paper reviews the components and history of this industry in order to analyze the effects various public policies could have on the manufacturers as well as the buyers of aircrafts. INTERACTION BETWEEN ART AND COMMERCE [pdf] By Tyler Pray This paper is on the history and economic interaction between art and commerce. Pray explains that by the early 18^th century, and likely earlier, art had clearly become a commodity, an object to be bought and sold, and Watteau’s painting depicts it as a commodity associated with wealth and good taste. Two hundred years later, in the early twentieth century, German economists began applying economic ideas to the valuation of art, ideas that didn’t emerge in the United States until the 1960s, when cultural economics began developing on the notion of securing public support for the performing arts, which were struggling to make profits.
