Workplace Mythologies And Unemployment Insurance: Exit, Voice And Exhausting All Reasonable Alternatives To Quitting, Deborah Maranville Jan 2002

Workplace Mythologies And Unemployment Insurance: Exit, Voice And Exhausting All Reasonable Alternatives To Quitting, Deborah Maranville

Hofstra Law Review

This article argues that the requirement that workers exhaust alternatives to quitting in order to qualify for unemployment benefits is misguided. The requirement is premised on inaccurate assumptions about the world of work and the situation of employees. Albert Hirschman's Exit, Voice and Loyalty provides a theoretical framework for thinking about decisions to stay or leave in the economic and political realms. The exhaustion requirement is premised on a vision of employment as more like a political community than an economic marketplace. While this vision may be an attractive aspiration, it has little foundation in most twenty-first century workplaces.


Compensation For Victims Of Terror: A Specialized Jurisprudence Of Injury, Marshall S. Shapo Jan 2002

Compensation For Victims Of Terror: A Specialized Jurisprudence Of Injury, Marshall S. Shapo

Hofstra Law Review

The legislation and Rules creating the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (the "Fund") constitute a new entry in the "jurisprudence of injury." The Fund presents challenges that cut across traditional tort and compensation law, economic theory, philosophy, psychology and political science. This article combines analysis of the statute and the Rules with suggestions about their political significance, including brief summaries of heated public discussion about the Fund and a couple of personalized anecdotes, selected for their symbolic power.

Trying to "broker the politics of injury," Congress in establishing the Fund created a "unique form of public choice," with "something for …

Corporate Courtship Gone Sour: Applying A Bankruptcy Approach To Termination Fee Provisions In Merger And Acquisition Agreements, Ely R. Levy Jan 2002

Corporate Courtship Gone Sour: Applying A Bankruptcy Approach To Termination Fee Provisions In Merger And Acquisition Agreements, Ely R. Levy

Hofstra Law Review

This paper examines Delaware's judicial treatment of deal protection measures, particularly termination fee provisions. The paper explores the tension between the economic function of these provisions in inducing bidders and potentially compensating them for opportunity and transaction costs in the event of deal termination vs. the ability of large termination fees to constrain and coerce shareholder choice by obligating the target to pay out the fee in the event of a shareholder no vote.

In light of these issues, the paper explores the different standards of review that Delaware courts have and could potentially apply in ex post review of …
