From Contract To Legislation: The Logic Of Modern International Lawmaking, Timothy L. Meyer
From Contract To Legislation: The Logic Of Modern International Lawmaking, Timothy L. Meyer
Scholarly Works
The future of international lawmaking is in peril. Both trade and climate negotiations have failed to produce a multilateral agreement since the mid-1990s, while the U.N. Security Council has been unable to comprehensively respond to the humanitarian crisis in Syria. In response to multilateralism’s retreat, many prominent commentators have called for international institutions to be given the power to bind holdout states — often rising or reluctant powers such as China and the United States — without their consent. In short, these proposals envision international law traveling the road taken by federal systems such as the United States and the …
Remanding Multidistrict Litigation, Elizabeth Chamblee Burch
Remanding Multidistrict Litigation, Elizabeth Chamblee Burch
Scholarly Works
Multidistrict litigation has frequently been described as a “black hole” because transfer is typically a one-way ticket. The numbers lend truth to this proposition. As of 2010, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation remanded only 3.425% of cases to their original districts. That number dwindled to 3.1% in 2012, and to a scant 2.9% in 2013. Retaining cases in hopes of forcing a global settlement can cause a constellation of complications. These concerns range from procedural justice issues over selecting a forum and correcting error, to substantive concerns about fidelity to state laws, to undermining democratic participation ideals fulfilled through …
The Effect Of The Jobs Act On Underwriting Spreads, Usha Rodrigues
The Effect Of The Jobs Act On Underwriting Spreads, Usha Rodrigues
Scholarly Works
U.S. underwriting fees, or spreads, have somewhat inexplicably clustered around 7% for years, a phenomenon that some have suggested evidences implicit collusion. The goal of Title I the JOBS Act of 2012 was to make going public easier for smaller firms; certain provisions specifically should make the underwriters’ task less risky, and thus less expensive. Presuming these provisions are effective, then one would predict that underwriting spreads would decrease as the costs to the underwriter for a public offering declined. Admittedly the prior presumption is a big one: it may be that the JOBS Act reforms were largely ineffective, and …
In-Sourcing Corporate Responsibility For Enforcement Of The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Larry D. Thompson
In-Sourcing Corporate Responsibility For Enforcement Of The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Larry D. Thompson
Scholarly Works
In this article I first review our nation's long-standing and active aversion to corporate corruption overseas, as principally embodied in the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. I then explain how achievement of the FCPA's goals is undermined by the uncertainty in current federal enforcement policies and the consequent ambivalence toward self disclosure exhibited by multinational corporations. Finally, I argue that the only realistic way to make up the shortcomings in FCPA enforcement that flow from the Justice Department's limited resources is to motivate corporations themselves to police corruption in their foreign subsidiaries by giving them a concrete incentive in the form …
Paul D. Moreno's The American State From The Civil War To The New Deal: The Twilight Of Constitutionalism And The Triumph Of Progressivism, Laura Phillips Sawyer
Paul D. Moreno's The American State From The Civil War To The New Deal: The Twilight Of Constitutionalism And The Triumph Of Progressivism, Laura Phillips Sawyer
Scholarly Works
Paul Moreno, the Grewcock Chair in Constitutional History at Hillsdale College, sets out to explain how the natural rights constitutionalism of the Founders was replaced by an ‘entitlement-based welfare state of modern liberalism’ by the late 1930s. The book is an ‘analytic narrative’, drawing on both constitutional theory and current ‘public choice’ law and economics, and contributes to recent scholarship by libertarian-minded legal scholars, such as David Bernstein and David Mayer, among others.
