The Legal Character Of Private Codes Of Conduct: More Than Just A Pseudo-Formal Gloss On Corporate Social Responsibility, Veronica Besmer
The Legal Character Of Private Codes Of Conduct: More Than Just A Pseudo-Formal Gloss On Corporate Social Responsibility, Veronica Besmer
UC Law Business Journal
Corporate codes, nothing more than statements that define a corporation's own best behavior, have become ubiquitous in today's business reality that witnesses ever-louder demands for greater corporate accountability. However, the codes' enforceability is uncertain, as they lack the statutory liability or the jurisdictional nexus in case of transnational enterprises. Still, consumers, who are increasingly socially and environmentally conscious, often reward any voluntary declaration of corporate social responsibility. This article outlines the current forms of regulations and reviews some legal enforcement theories. The author concludes that quasi-formal enforcement mechanisms such as stakeholder pressure and greater consumer demand for responsible corporate behavior …
Section 1032: Are We There Yet, Neil R. Blecher
Section 1032: Are We There Yet, Neil R. Blecher
UC Law Business Journal
This paper discusses various issues related to Section 1032 of the Internal Revenue Code, including the proper scope and applicability of Section 1032 necessary to ensure that economically equivalent transactions are treated in a consistent manner. Among other topics, the paper provides a summary of legislative enactments and judicial and administrative rulings related to Section 1032 and a review of the general scope and applicability of the section in current tax practice. The paper also provides an analysis of attempts to provide for a workable definition of "money or other property in exchange for stock" within the meaning of Section …
Revisiting Austin V. Loral: A Study In Economic Duress, Contract Modification And Framing, Meredith R. Miller
Revisiting Austin V. Loral: A Study In Economic Duress, Contract Modification And Framing, Meredith R. Miller
UC Law Business Journal
Austin Instrument, Inc. v. Loral Corp. is a favorite among Contracts casebooks because the New York Court of Appeals held that it was a "classic" example of economic duress. The close division of judicial opinion suggested, however, that there was a more complex story behind the Court of Appeals' recitation. Indeed, revisiting the case reveals a rich and intricate story. Why were Austin and Loral litigating so fiercely over roughly $22,000? Was it possible that the threat of Austin, a small, privately held company, could coerce Loral, a large, publicly traded company? What influence did the conflict in Vietnam have …
The Public-Private Security Partnership: Counterterrorism Considerations For Employers In A Post-9/11 World, Andrew P. Morriss
The Public-Private Security Partnership: Counterterrorism Considerations For Employers In A Post-9/11 World, Andrew P. Morriss
UC Law Business Journal
Employers who employ both Americans and non-citizens in America, as well as those who employ either Americans or non-citizens overseas, will face a wide range of demands for cooperation with counterterror agencies, choices about employment policies that affect counterterror efforts, and concerns by employees about the impact of counterterror measures on their employment. This Article surveys some of the less immediately obvious issues that employers need to consider in adjusting to the post-9/1 1 environment-an environment in which counter-terror operations have become the nation's highest government priority.
Determinants Of The Settlement Amount In Securities Fraud Class Action Litigation, John D. Finnerty, Gautam Goswami
Determinants Of The Settlement Amount In Securities Fraud Class Action Litigation, John D. Finnerty, Gautam Goswami
UC Law Business Journal
This article identifies the factors most responsible for determining the settlement amount in securities fraud cases. It also develops a settlement model that incorporates these factors. This article analyzes a sample consisting of 525 securities fraud class action settlements that were reached between 1994 and 2005. It identifies the main drivers of the observed settlement amounts and develop a settlement model that explains more than fifty-six percent of the settlement amounts in terms of these settlement drivers. The settlement model should be useful to counsel or interested parties for gauging a reasonable settlement amount consistent with past experience. It should …
Employers Beware: The I-9 Form: Verifying Identity And Identity Documents In The Employment Context, Jason Korosec
Employers Beware: The I-9 Form: Verifying Identity And Identity Documents In The Employment Context, Jason Korosec
UC Law Business Journal
Verification of identity has taken on new importance in a post 9/11 environment. This article discusses employers' obligation to verify the identification of their employees and the technical problems with identity verification employers face under current approaches. Attempts by the government to resolve these issues will meet resistance from both privacy advocates and liberty defenders. Understanding the issues with the current state of documentation of identity will enable employers to make more informed decisions about who they are hiring, particularly if the analysis is completed prior to the hiring decision. For the time being, the 1-9 form and associated process …
Valuing Corporations For Estate Tax Purposes: A Blount Reappraisal, Adam S. Chodorow
Valuing Corporations For Estate Tax Purposes: A Blount Reappraisal, Adam S. Chodorow
UC Law Business Journal
This article explores a "recurring issue of asset valuation for estate tax purposes," which the Eleventh Circuit purported to resolve in Estate of Blount v. Commissioner. The broad question is how one should value a decedent's shares in a corporation where those shares are subject to a buysell agreement that is either: (1) disregarded for estate tax purposes, or (2) omits the price of the shares it covers. The specific issue is how one should account for insurance proceeds a corporation receives on account of a decedent's death when those proceeds are offset by a corresponding obligation to redeem the …

Life In The Early Days Of Lawyer Advertising: Personal Recollections Of A Bates Baby, Gerald S. Reamey
Faculty Articles
The Supreme Court decision in Bates v. State Bar of Arizona ruled that lawyer advertising is commercial speech subject to First Amendment protection. However, a Texas disciplinary statute provided that “a lawyer shall not publicize himself, his partner, or associate…through newspaper or magazine advertisements, radio or television announcements…or other means of commercial publicity.” Despite being clearly unconstitutional, the Texas statute remained law for five years. Finally, responding to Bates in September 1977, the Texas State Bar Board of Directors adopted an official statement which allowed for limited advertising in newspapers, and only to the extent which was provided for by …

The definitions, especially those relating to the issues of what constitutes a security, who may recover, and the territorial reach, determine the scope of the securities acts. The Fifth Circuit issued one decision concerning standing to sue under section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.
The State Securities Board amended its form for public information charges and billing detail to reflect current fees for public information established by the Texas Building and Procedures Commission. The Board adopted new rules reorganizing the exemption for sales to financial institutions and certain institutional investors under the Texas Securities Act (“TSA”) and reconsidered …
Terrorism Law, Jeffrey F. Addicott
Terrorism Law, Jeffrey F. Addicott
Faculty Articles
The hard reality is that the United States has declared war on a tactic—terror. The nation must accept lawful force as the only tool that will allow us to win the war against our enemy. The “War on Terror” is unlike anything the people of the United States have seen or fought before. The issue is: Are we at war, or is this simply a metaphor like the “war on drugs” or the “war on poverty?” The Act of Congress signed by President George W. Bush was the first legal document that began to answer this inquiry. The 2006 Military …
