Attorney Deceit Statutes: Promoting Professionalism Through Criminal Prosecutions And Treble Damages, Alex B. Long
Attorney Deceit Statutes: Promoting Professionalism Through Criminal Prosecutions And Treble Damages, Alex B. Long
Scholarly Works
Unbeknownst to many lawyers, numerous jurisdictions - including New York and California - have statutes on the books that single out lawyers who engage in deceit or collusion. In nearly all of these jurisdictions, a lawyer found to have engaged in deceit or collusion faces criminal penalties and/or civil liability in the form of treble damages. Until recently, these attorney deceit statutes have languished in obscurity and, through a series of restrictive readings of the statutory language, have been rendered somewhat irrelevant. However, in 2009, the New York Court of Appeals breathed new life into New York’s attorney deceit statute …
Antitrust 2025, Maurice Stucke
Antitrust 2025, Maurice Stucke
Scholarly Works
Antitrust policy in the United States has roughly twenty to thirty year cycles. So if past cycles are reliable indicators of future ones, we are at (or approaching) a new antitrust policy cycle, with 2025 being the approximate midpoint.
Any new policy cycle will be defined by three fundamental questions: a. What is competition? b. What are the goals of competition law? c. What should be the legal standards to promote these goals?
Rather than predict the state of antitrust policy in 2025 (such as more or less cartel enforcement), this Essay maps two scenarios based on these three fundamental …
One New President, One New Patriarch And A Generous Disregard For The Constitution: A Recipe For The Continuing Decline Of Secular Russia, Robert C. Blitt
One New President, One New Patriarch And A Generous Disregard For The Constitution: A Recipe For The Continuing Decline Of Secular Russia, Robert C. Blitt
Scholarly Works
The government of Russia and the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) - the country’s predominant religious group - recently underwent back-to-back changes in each institution’s respective leadership. This coincidence of timing affords a unique opportunity to reassess the status of constitutional secularism and church–state relations in the Russian Federation.
Following a discussion of the presidential and patriarchal elections that occurred between March 2008 and January 2009, the Article surveys recent developments in Russia as they relate to the nation’s constitutional obligations. In the face of this analysis, the Article argues that the government and the ROC alike continue to willfully undermine …

Clinical Legal Education At A Generational Crossroads, Dean Rivkin
Clinical Legal Education At A Generational Crossroads, Dean Rivkin
Scholarly Works
Clinical legal education is at a crossroads. With studies like the Macrate Report, Carnegie Foundation Report “Educating Lawyers,” and Best Practices for Legal Education there is greater focus on experiential learning. Consequently, clinics are at an inflection point regarding their future. Three distinct generations will determine the path forward: Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials. Each generation brings a different set of preferences, biases, perspectives and strengths to the table. Given the changes in legal academia, what will the future hold for clinical legal education?
The following are four essays by clinicians from the three generations. They each relay their …
Should New Bills Of Rights Address Emerging International Human Rights Norms? The Challenge Of 'Defamation Of Religion', Robert C. Blitt
Should New Bills Of Rights Address Emerging International Human Rights Norms? The Challenge Of 'Defamation Of Religion', Robert C. Blitt
Scholarly Works
The emerging international human rights norm of “defamation of religion,” an ongoing flashpoint in debates at the United Nations (UN) and elsewhere, merits the attention of all parties playing a role in the drafting of new bills of rights. This article uses the case study of defamation of religion, as an emerging norm and the current debate over a possible Australian bill of rights, to argue that a well-rounded drafting process. This drafting process should contemplate the relevancy and impact of emerging norms as a means of enhancing the process, deepening domestic understanding of rights, and ensuring an outcome instrument …

How Do (And Should) Competition Authorities Treat A Dominant Firm's Deception?, Maurice Stucke
How Do (And Should) Competition Authorities Treat A Dominant Firm's Deception?, Maurice Stucke
Scholarly Works
This Article discusses deception and its potential anticompetitive effects. Since deception lacks any redeeming ethical, moral, or economic justifications, and trust in the marketplace is paramount, multiple laws seek to deter and punish deception. Although the federal antitrust laws seek to deter acts of unfair competition, which historically included a competitor’s deception, some federal courts, recently have erected hurdles for antitrust plaintiffs injured by a monopolist’s deception. Such hurdles are contrary to the Sherman Act's legislative aim, the common law antecedents of the Sherman Act, and other congressional policies. Moreover, the courts’ legal standards for evaluating a monopolist’s deception involving …
Vacating Chrysler, George Kuney
Vacating Chrysler, George Kuney
College of Law Faculty Scholarship
This article examines the Chrysler section 363 transaction and the opinions that approved it. Chrysler may be merely another example of good facts and a crisis making what is, perhaps, bad law, which has been a pattern in the evolution of chapter 11 jurisprudence since the Bankruptcy Code was enacted in 1978. The Supreme Court appears to have recognized this in the Chrysler case and took the opportunity created by the petition for the certiorari to attempt to wipe the slate clean and reestablish the pre-Chrysler status quo. If this was the Justices’ intent, it is not clear that they …

"You Crossed The Fog Line!" - Kansas, Pretext, And The Fourth Amendment, Melanie Wilson
"You Crossed The Fog Line!" - Kansas, Pretext, And The Fourth Amendment, Melanie Wilson
Scholarly Works
This article examines orders recently decided in the District of Kansas to show, circumstantially, that Kansas police are using "fog-line" traffic infractions as an excuse to stop out-of-state cars driven by people of Hispanic ethnicity and to investigate for drug trafficking. If a stop uncovers contraband, the defendant is charged with a crime, sometimes in federal court. At a subsequent hearing to evaluate a defendant’s motion to suppress the contraband, the officer testifies to his reason for the stop – “You crossed the fog line,” “drifted from your lane of travel,” or “failed to maintain a single lane.” The officer …

Something Judicious This Way Comes ... The Use Of Foreshadowing As A Persuasive Device In Judicial Narrative, Michael Higdon
College of Law Faculty Scholarship
With the recent publication of Judge Richard Posner’s book “How Judges Think” and the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayer to the United States Supreme Court, there has been much discussion about the way in which judges decide cases. Although certainly an interesting (and important) discussion, what has so far gone largely ignored is the question of how judges, once they reach a decision, convince the legal audience that the decision is in fact correct. Thus, in my article, entitled Something Judicious This Way Comes . . ., I focus not on how judges think, but how they write. More specifically, …

In Re Crabtree & Evelyn: "Almost Washed Up", Kristina Chuck, Lin Ye
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case Studies
Crabtree and Evelyn (“C&E”) started in 1972 as an outlet of fine soaps from all over the globe. The name was derived from the crabapple tree and John Evelyn who was a Renaissance Englishman who had works on the conservation of forests and timber. Over the almost forty years since then it has expanded what it has to offer from fine soaps to a variety of other products including “personal care products and related accessories, fragrances, comestibles (i.e., food products including cookies, teas and jams), products for the home and gift arrangements.”
It also “manufactures and distributes more …

Death Of A (Used Car) Salesman: An Examination Of The Incredible Auto Sales, Llc Bankruptcy, Alicia Teubert, Melissa Carraso
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case Studies
At first glance, the Incredible Auto Sales, LLC (“Incredible Auto”) Chapter 11 bankruptcy appeared fairly standard. A once prospering business found itself in the red trying to keep its inventory stocked, pay its bills, and remain a going concern. On paper, the prospects of reorganization seemed promising. It had nearly $2 million worth of inventory. It had nearly $200,000 worth of machinery, fixtures, parts, and supplies. Plus, there was a market for its product because Incredible Auto was the only Kia MotorsAmerica (“KIA”) dealership in a 250-300 mile radius. However, the Incredible Auto on paper was not the same Incredible …

Tragedy On The Descent: The Ascent And Fall Of Eddie Bauer, Austin Fleming, Bryan C. Hathorn
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case Studies
For many entrepreneurs, bankruptcy is the unfortunate end of what began as a business dream. The birth of a business is an exciting time for the entrepreneur, but its death is often a painful process—both for the company's owners and its creditors. Those businesses that choose not to reorganize close their doors forever. However, reorganization can often salvage a business enterprise that is a good one but is impaired by debt, crisis, or simple bad luck.
The goals of the reorganization process are clear—the idea is to produce a viable business enterprise but one not necessarily owned by the original …
