Sec V. Creditors: Why Sec Civil Enforcement Practice Demonstrates The Need For A Reprioritization Of Securities Fraud Claims In Bankruptcy, Sean Kelly
St. John's Law Review
(Excerpt)
This Note examines how this tension has motivated the SEC to use receiverships as a preferred vehicle to maximize recovery for defrauded security holders and, in the process, create what amounts to an SEC-run bankruptcy proceeding. The use of these receiverships has triggered a high-stakes race to the courthouse among the SEC and creditors, where mere hours can be the difference between millions in recovery and nothing at all. To end this costly race, this Note proposes a solution that seeks to harmonize securities fraud enforcement with bankruptcy law, which starts with revisiting Bankruptcy Code § 510(b) to reprioritize …
Crowdfunding Capital In The Age Of Blockchain-Based Tokens, Patricia H. Lee
Crowdfunding Capital In The Age Of Blockchain-Based Tokens, Patricia H. Lee
St. John's Law Review
(Excerpt)
To illustrate the findings, this Article proceeds like so. Part I provides a brief history of the Reg. CF exemption law and the research findings about investment crowdfunding, generally, and digital tokens, more specifically. Next, Part II provides insights on the current state of offering blockchain-based digital tokens to unsophisticated investors and the silver linings in the data. Finally, Part III provides recommendations for a path forward in Reg. CF. First, the SEC should re-evaluate its regulatory policy in light of the proliferation of blockchain-based token offerings and gaps in funding portals, and provide additional warnings to unsophisticated investors …
A Perfect Storm: Religion, Sex, And Administrative Law, Helen M. Alvare
A Perfect Storm: Religion, Sex, And Administrative Law, Helen M. Alvare
St. John's Law Review
(Excerpt)
In order to propose a way forward toward better sexual and reproductive health regulation, which also avoids undercutting or crossing swords with religion, this Article will proceed as follows: Part I will paint with a broad brush the current state of sexual and reproductive health problems in the United States, focusing a bit upon younger Americans to whom SRA programs are addressed. It will highlight disparities according to race and socioeconomic conditions when these obtain. These are troubling on their face, but particularly troubling today at a time of perceived heightened racial and socioeconomic class tension in the United …
Pharmaceutical Price Gouging: The Need For Direct Regulation On The Gray Market, Nicole Rende
Pharmaceutical Price Gouging: The Need For Direct Regulation On The Gray Market, Nicole Rende
Journal of Civil Rights and Economic Development
(Excerpt)
This Note proposes federal legislation that will ultimately shut down the Pharmaceuticals gray market. The federal government should directly regulate the gray market and the price gouging mechanisms used. Congress should pass the Fair Accountability and Innovative Research Drug Pricing Act of 2016, currently proposed. This Act will increase price transparency and provide a civil penalty for wrong doers. In addition to the passage of this Act, there needs to be a direct attack on the gray market by creating an act that does not allow companies to participate in these distributions and ultimately form monopolies. This act needs …
Inaccessible Websites Are Discriminating Against The Blind: Why Courts, Websites, And The Blind Are Looking To The Department Of Justice For Guidance, Elizabeth Sheerin
Inaccessible Websites Are Discriminating Against The Blind: Why Courts, Websites, And The Blind Are Looking To The Department Of Justice For Guidance, Elizabeth Sheerin
St. John's Law Review
(Excerpt)
This Note argues that Title III of the ADA should extend to websites and mobile applications as “places of public accommodation” and suggests a framework to determine which accommodations should be adopted to make websites accessible to people with visual disabilities. Specifically, it calls on Congress and the DOJ to fix this hole in the law and ensure the Act protects all persons with disabilities, as it was intended to. Part I will introduce the ADA, including its legislative history and amendments, and then will describe the standards private agencies have developed to make the Internet accessible to those …
Establishment Of The Antitrust Division Of The U.S. Department Of Justice, Gregory J. Werden
Establishment Of The Antitrust Division Of The U.S. Department Of Justice, Gregory J. Werden
St. John's Law Review
(Excerpt)
To fill in the knowledge gaps, this Article proceeds largely in reverse chronological order. First, it reviews Order No. 2507 and related circumstances, finding clear and convincing evidence that the Order did not create the Antitrust Division. Next, the Article examines the prior tenure of AG Cummings, finding clear and convincing evidence that the Antitrust Division existed before Roosevelt became President and Cummings became AG, and that Cummings lowered the standing of the Antitrust Division within the DOJ prior to issuing Order No. 2507. Finally, the Article scours the prior history of the DOJ and determines that the Antitrust …
