The Persistence Of Low Expectations In Special Education Law Viewed Through The Lens Of Therapeutic Jurisprduence, Richard Peterson

Richard Peterson

For more than thirty-five years a paradigm of low expectations has infected efforts to educate children with disabilities and has been a persistent and stubborn obstacle to the successful implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and its predecessor, the Education of All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA). This dilemma raises questions addressed in this paper: What is meant by low expectations in the context of Special Education Law? What are the root causes of this phenomenon, and what makes it so resistant to change? How does it impede implementation of the IDEA? And lastly, in what ways does …

Harm, Ambiguity, And The Regulation Of Illegal Contracts, Adam B. Badawi

Adam B. Badawi

Prohibitions on contract are a common technique for achieving desired policy outcomes. By deeming certain bargains unlawful or contrary to public policy, judges and other policy actors expect to prevent some of the harm that these contracts can create. The presumptive remedy used to accomplish this goal is non-enforcement—which leaves the parties in the position that courts find them. But the standards that govern whether to impose this stern remedy do not place third-party harm at the forefront of the analysis. Consequently, the current framework can underdeter harmful contracts and overdeter contracts that may be harmless. These effects can be …

Defending Stakeholder Governance, Kent Greenfield

Kent Greenfield

Corporations are collective enterprises, drawing on investments from various stakeholders who contribute to the firm's success. For a business to succeed over time, it must induce people and institutions to invest money, whether in the form of equity or loans. It must induce people to invest their labor, intelligence, skill, and attention by joining the firm as employees or managers. It must induce local communities to invest infrastructure of various kinds. None of these investors-for investors they all are-contributes its input out of altruism or obligation. They all do so because they believe that the corporation provides the mechanism for …
