Group Libel Versus Free Speech: When Big Brother Should Butt In, Kenneth Lasson Oct 1984

Group Libel Versus Free Speech: When Big Brother Should Butt In, Kenneth Lasson

All Faculty Scholarship

The year 1984 may not have fulfilled Orwellian prophecies of governmental totalitarianism, but citizens of the world remain no less concerned about the quality of their civil liberties. If people could live peacefully and productively together under a strict caste system, or blissfully in enslavement, there would be little impetus to identify 'natural rights' nor insistence upon what we know as 'freedom.' But human experience has amply demonstrated the universal yearning for personal liberty, as well as the need to legislate against its deprivation.

Thus Big Brother has been the enemy from long before the Magna Carta and long since …

Involuntary Servitude: The Current Enforcement Of Employee Covenants Not To Compete – A Proposal For Reform, Phillip J. Closius, Henry M. Schaffer May 1984

Involuntary Servitude: The Current Enforcement Of Employee Covenants Not To Compete – A Proposal For Reform, Phillip J. Closius, Henry M. Schaffer

All Faculty Scholarship

A covenant not to compete is a contractual restriction upon an individual's ability to compete with another person or entity following the termination of some transaction or relationship between the two. Because of the increasing emphasis in the American economy on technically skilled employees and service oriented businesses, the covenant not to compete has become a standard addition to employment contracts. Moreover, the number of litigated and reported cases may represent only a small percentage of the actual number of employment restrictions currently in force. Regardless of their validity and enforceability, covenants not to compete chill the free movement of …


Public Land Banking And Mount Laurel Ii — Can There Be A Symbiotic Relationship?, Cassandra Jones Havard Apr 1984

Public Land Banking And Mount Laurel Ii — Can There Be A Symbiotic Relationship?, Cassandra Jones Havard

All Faculty Scholarship

The story behind the litigation that produced two decisions in Southern Burlington County NAACP v. Township of Mount Laurel may accurately be told in terms of plans having gone awry. The New Jersey Supreme Court invalidated the two attempts by Mount Laurel to regulate land through the implementation of fiscal zoning ordinances. In its most recent decision, Mount Laurel II, the court imposed upon communities a state constitutional obligation to provide adequate housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income families. Mount Laurel II thus defines the constitutional limitations on a municipality's power to regulate land. It also establishes a supporting corollary: …

State Adoption Of Federal Law - Legislative Abdication Or Reasoned Policymaking?, Arnold Rochvarg Jan 1984

State Adoption Of Federal Law - Legislative Abdication Or Reasoned Policymaking?, Arnold Rochvarg

All Faculty Scholarship

There is little doubt that in order to best fulfill public policy goals,

coordination between the federal and state governments is

desirable.' Coordination has been sought over the years, for example,

by federal grants-in-aid, and the enactment of federal laws which are

dependent upon state law. One technique which has been employed

by the states to further coordinate state and federal law is incorporation

of federal law into state law. Although it is beyond question that

there is no constitutional problem when a state legislature adopts

existing federal law or regulations: constitutional questions do arise

when a state attempts to …

Fair Housing Testing: Its Legal Status And Policy Implications, Peter E. Millspaugh Jan 1984

Fair Housing Testing: Its Legal Status And Policy Implications, Peter E. Millspaugh

University of Baltimore Law Review

Segregation in housing remains pervasive despite legislative attempts to end housing discrimination. The lack of a meaningful enforcement scheme has forced private litigants to seek their remedy for housing discrimination through the courts. To present a prima facie case of housing discrimination, private litigants have used individuals known as "testers," who pose as renters or home seekers in an attempt to secure evidence of disparate treatment. Although courts have accepted tester evidence as a necessary evil in exposing housing discrimination, the widespread use of tester evidence imposes significant costs on society and should not become the cornerstone of a national …

Massachusetts Securities Regulation: In Search Of The Fulcrum, Stephen M. Honig Jan 1984

Massachusetts Securities Regulation: In Search Of The Fulcrum, Stephen M. Honig

University of Baltimore Law Review

The Massachusetts Securities Division and representatives of the Massachusetts Securities Bar are currently reevaluating Massachusetts blue sky regulation. In this article, the author reviews the existing practices, and concludes that the Division has waivered between adopting a merit review or disclosure approach to regulation of registered and exempt offerings. The author concludes that vigorous merit review is unjustified under the Massachusetts statute, and advocates fundamental reform of existing practices to ensure certainty in regulation and national uniformity.
