Judge Rakoff V. The Securities And Exchange Commission: Are "Neither Admit Nor Deny" Settlement Agreements In Securities Cases In The Public Interest?, Daniel T. Hubbell
Transactions: The Tennessee Journal of Business Law
“DPAs [(Deferred Prosecution Agreements)] have had a truly transformative effect on particular companies and, more generally, on corporate culture across the globe,” declared Lanny Breuer, the head of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on September 13, 2012.2 Deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) and non-prosecution agreements (NPAs) are settlement agreements between a prosecutor and a defendant in which the prosecutor agrees to either defer or forego prosecution in return for the defendant’s cooperation in an ongoing investigation or prosecution, as well as an agreement to comply with the requirements of the settlement. Rather than forcing prosecutors to …

When Should Ediscovery Vendors Be Disqualified?, Michael A. Cottone
Transactions: The Tennessee Journal of Business Law
As a general proposition, courts have inherent authority to disqualify parties and their representatives and consultants from participating in litigation. Attorneys, expert witnesses, and litigation consultants may face disqualification motions in the event of a conflict of interest. With the rapid expansion of the eDiscovery industry, however, a new question has arisen: If an eDiscovery vendor has a potential conflict of interest, when should it be disqualified? What standard should apply?

Does The Absolute Priority Rule Still Apply To Individual Chapter 11 Debtors Post-Bapcpa?, Anthony Mendenhall
Does The Absolute Priority Rule Still Apply To Individual Chapter 11 Debtors Post-Bapcpa?, Anthony Mendenhall
Transactions: The Tennessee Journal of Business Law
Section 1129(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code codifies a principle known as the “absolute priority rule.” The absolute priority rule requires that creditors receive payment in full before holders of equity can receive or retain any property under a plan of reorganization. The absolute priority rule ensures that a plan of reorganization will not be used to allow equity to benefit at the cost of higher-priority unsecured debt. If left unchecked, a small number of insiders, whether representatives of management or major creditors, may use the reorganization process to gain an unfair advantage. Chapter 11 cases with individual debtors magnifies this …

Weathering The Tempest: The Impact Of The Basel Iii Capital Accord On Asset Finance, Angela L. Rosa
Weathering The Tempest: The Impact Of The Basel Iii Capital Accord On Asset Finance, Angela L. Rosa
Transactions: The Tennessee Journal of Business Law
The Second Capital Accord of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision ("Basel II") was intended to address capital sufficiency amongst institutions lending in risky sectors. Since its introduction, the world economy has gone through categorically unique depressions, hallmarked by the 2008 financial crises. Scrambling to respond to the unique challenges posed by unprecedented failures throughout the international banking community, the Basel Committee's latest charge has been to revamp its prior accords while formulating new methodologies intended to avoid the reoccurrence of the catastrophes of the past four years: regulations that comprise the Third Basel Capital Accord ("Basel III"). These new …

Tips For The Pracitioner Seeking To Return To The Academy, Kevin P. Conboy
Tips For The Pracitioner Seeking To Return To The Academy, Kevin P. Conboy
Transactions: The Tennessee Journal of Business Law
Recently, I made the work status change from practicing corporate attorney (thirty years’ worth) to full-time law professor. This article offers a series of tips for practitioners considering such a transition based on my experiences, in the hope that the lessons I learned (some of them painfully) can ease your pain, or dissuade you from such foolishness. While my target audience is the “seasoned” practitioner (older, that is, not to put too fine a point on it), these tips should be useful or of interest to more junior practicing lawyers looking to make a move to teaching. And I hope …
