Doing Away With Battery Law, Anthony J. Sebok

Online Publications

Steve Sugarman is one of contemporary tort law’s leading figures, and one feature of his career which stands out is that he is willing to challenge modern orthodoxy. As the title of his classic 1985 article, Doing Away With Tort Law suggests, Sugarman is willing to recommend sweeping changes to private law. In Restating the Tort of Battery, Sugarman offers a proposal almost as radical as his 1985 proposal to get rid of tort law. Although he doesn’t say he wants to get rid of battery, once he is finished “restating” it, it is hard to see what is …

Not So Fast--Risks Related To The Use Of A "Saft" For Token Sales, Aaron Wright, Patrick Berarducci, Matthew Corva, Lewis Cohen, Rachel Epstein, Joyce Lai, Joshua Ashley Klayman, Gabe Shapiro, Lee Schneider, Jonathan Rohr

Blockchain Project Reports

On October 2, 2017, Cooley LLP and Protocol Labs released a whitepaper entitled “The SAFT Project: Toward a Compliant Token Sale Framework” (the “Whitepaper”), purporting to develop “a new, compliant framework” for engaging in the sale of blockchain-based tokens. The Whitepaper acknowledged that the framework has limitations, and invited a conversation within the blockchain and legal community. In that spirit, the below report analyzes the framework proposed in the Whitepaper and highlights a number of risks related to the use of a Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (a “SAFT”) for token sales.

As explained below, while the framework proposed in …

The New Advertising Era, Minhee Lee

AELJ Blog

There used to be a simpler time when live news happened but twice a day. I obviously don’t mean that literally. But whatever happened around town and across the world throughout the day (and night), people in their bathrobes picked up their papers still moistened in the morning dew, with steaming cups of coffees in their hands. They would then actually sit down on a kitchen table, and read (imagine that!) news. That’s the first time of the day news broke to the public in the simpler era. Sure, the time did not freeze for the rest of the day, …

Mass Transit Modernization: Examining Smart Systems Innovations, Llc V. Chicago Transit Authority, Kelsey Cross

AELJ Blog

Public transportation is the foundation of modern cities across the globe. Cities such as New York City expanded rapidly after the advent of the subway in particular, as the flat riding fee enabled residents to move out of tenements to the outer boroughs. However, many transit systems were built decades ago, and cities everywhere are looking to modernize their systems. As transit authorities meet to discuss different possibilities, reforming the way riders pay their fare is a top priority. Currently many American mass transit systems utilize reusable cards you either tap or swipe at a turnstile. Conversely, many European mass …

Last Friday, September 22, Golden State Warrior’s player Stephen Curry had a press conference during the Warriors’ Media Day. This year’s Media Day marks the unofficial start of the 2017-2018 basketball season where the players pose for photos, record promotional materials, and hold press conferences. During Curry’s press conference, he was asked about what statement he would like to make by declining the White House’s invitation after winning an NBA championship this past June. Curry’s response was straightforward, “By acting and not going, hopefully that will inspire some change when it comes to what we tolerate in this country[.]” Of …
