Shattering The Glass Ceiling: A Legal Theory For Attacking Discrimination Against Women Partners, Mark S. Kende

UC Law Journal

Historically women have experienced gender discrimination in employment and promotions, hitting a "glass ceiling" that prevents them from reaching the highest positions within academic institutions, corporations, and partnerships. Women partners are especially vulnerable to discrimination because federal and state anti-discrimination laws have been interpreted to protect "employees" not partners, who are "employers" by definition.

In his Article, Professor Kende tracks the progress of women in the legal profession and the glass ceiling that women encounter in trying to become partners and to reach the top management positions within partnerships. He argues that the implied covenant of good faith and fair …

The Unimportance Of Being Earnest: Paramount Rewrites The Rules For Enhanced Scrutiny In Corporate Takeovers, Paul L. Regan

UC Law Journal

In Paramount Communications v. QVC Network, the Delaware Supreme Court announced that enhanced judicial scrutiny would be applied to both the process and the results of director decision making in every corporate takeover case.

Tropical Forests And Trade Policy: The Legality Of Unilateral Attempts To Promote Sustainable Development Under The Gatt, Brian F. Chase

UC Law SF International Law Review

In this Article, the author examines the legality under GATT of these unilateral attempts, which have the twin aims of preventing tropical deforestation and promoting sustainable development. The author argues that most current unilateral …

Are Money Launderers All Washed Up In The Western Hemisphere--The Oas Model Regulations, Phyllis Solomon

UC Law SF International Law Review

The Western Hemisphere is the home of some of the world's largest money laundering centers. The ability to launder profits has played a significant role in the success of drug trafficking in this region. In spite of these facts, many individual countries still lack laws that criminalize crucial aspects of money laundering. Additionally, many countries have stringent bank secrecy laws that enable drug traffickers to easily hide their illegally acquired funds. So long as stringent banking laws exist in some countries, money laundering operations can thrive. This Note analyzes existing international schemes to combat money laundering. The Inter- American Drug …
