Conception To Distribution: Vertical Integration In The Television Production And Isp Industry , Megan Sieffert Jan 2014

Conception To Distribution: Vertical Integration In The Television Production And Isp Industry , Megan Sieffert

The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law

The intersecting regulations of agencies, stemming from the duties of the FCC, the FTC, and the DOJ to protect competition and television consumers, have been innovative in permitting two goals. First, allowing companies to pursue these integrations and, second, placing conditions on integrations to prevent potential harms that could come from developing media giants. As the market continues to consolidate, with companies having more access to the ability to distribute through alternative middlemen, and as they have the opportunity to gain popularity through social media networks and word of mouth, the healthy competition seen in the former entertainment industry is …

How Administrative Law Halted The Death Penalty In Maryland , Arnold Rochvarg Apr 2013

How Administrative Law Halted The Death Penalty In Maryland , Arnold Rochvarg

Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary

Numerous arguments have been raised to halt the death penalty, including constitutional claims such as ineffective assistance of counsel, equal protection, right to trial by jury, and cruel and unusual punishment. The winning argument, however, in Evans v. State, a Maryland death penalty appeal, was based not on constitutional or criminal law, but rather Administrative Law. A death row inmate attacked the validity of the procedures for administering lethal injection capital punishment because the Maryland Department of Corrections had not followed the proper statutory procedures for adopting the regulation which set forth the capital punishment process. In order for a …


Due Process; A Detached Judge; And Enemy Combatants, Julian Mann Iii Apr 2013

Due Process; A Detached Judge; And Enemy Combatants, Julian Mann Iii

Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary

In the landmark administrative law decision of Goldberg v. Kelly, Justice Brennan stated that an “impartial decision maker is essential” to procedural due process. As a corollary, in the more recent decision of Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, Justice O'Connor stated that “due process requires a neutral and a detached judge in the first instance.” Thus, the due process clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution require that the essential element of neutrality remain an integral part of any administrative hearing. There can be no departure from this fundamental guarantee of constitutional due process for the administrative hearings …

The Times They Are A Changin': A New Jurisprudence For Social Security, Jeffrey S. Wolfe Apr 2013

The Times They Are A Changin': A New Jurisprudence For Social Security, Jeffrey S. Wolfe

Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is wading in waters knee deep and fast rising when it comes to what is described in repeated news stories as a rising tide of backlogged Social Security disability appeals. A change in the essential jurisprudence underlying hearings afforded to those appealing an administrative denial of Social Security disability benefits is necessary to remedy the single most pressing issue in the hearings and appeals process - the hue and cry over the pending backlog of such cases.


Preemption And Regulatory Failure, David C. Vladeck Mar 2012

Preemption And Regulatory Failure, David C. Vladeck

Pepperdine Law Review

Daily front-page stories recounting the failure of defibrillators, pacemakers, heart stents and infusion pumps have raised questions about the adequacy of FDA regulation of medical devices. At the same time, lower courts are struggling to apply the Supreme Court's ruling in Medtronic, Inc. v. Lohr to determine the preemptive reach of the Medical Device Amendments ("MDA"). This article explores the repercussions of Medtronic and argues that Congress' use of words like "requirements" in regulatory statutes should be seen as references to positive state law only, and should not be read, absent an explicit command by Congress, to subsume state law …
