Passing The Torch But Sailing Too Close To The Wind: Congress’S Role In Authorizing Administrative Branches To Promulgate Regulations That Contemplate Criminal Sanctions, Reem Sadik Nov 2014

Passing The Torch But Sailing Too Close To The Wind: Congress’S Role In Authorizing Administrative Branches To Promulgate Regulations That Contemplate Criminal Sanctions, Reem Sadik

Legislation and Policy Brief

The Supreme Court has stated that Congress must simply “lay down by legislative act an intelligible principle” to which the agency must conform. If this is done, a court will find the delegation of broad authority to the agency to be constitutional. There is, however, an open issue regarding whether the “intelligible principle” standard applies to delegations of authority that allow for the promulgation of both civil and criminal penalties. In Touby v. United States, the Supreme Court was asked whether “something more than an ‘intelligible principle’ is required” when Congress authorizes an agency to issue regulations that contemplate …

Did Congress Intend For Corporations To Benefit From The Mvra?, Leslie M. Villacis Esq. Aug 2014

Did Congress Intend For Corporations To Benefit From The Mvra?, Leslie M. Villacis Esq.

Legislation and Policy Brief

When it enacted the statute, did Congress consider corporations to be “victims” entitled to restitution under the MVRA? This answer has not been provided or discussed by existing case law applying the MVRA. This article answers this question. In addition, it highlights the possible issues a judge may encounter in the application and interpretation of the MVRA, the current use of the MVRA by corporations, and offers potential defenses a defendant could employ in challenging a corporate giant’s restitution request. Additionally, I discuss several policy arguments justifying the application of the MVRA to corporations as well those arguments that oppose …


How Reforming The Tort Of Negligent Hiring Can Enhance The Economic Activity Of A State, Be Good For Business And Protect The Victims Of Certain Crimes, Shawn D. Vance Aug 2014

How Reforming The Tort Of Negligent Hiring Can Enhance The Economic Activity Of A State, Be Good For Business And Protect The Victims Of Certain Crimes, Shawn D. Vance

Legislation and Policy Brief

This article will focus on reforming the tort of negligent hiring to limit the liability of employers while also ensuring the compensation of certain victims when the employer fails to meet the requirements of the reformed tort. While the tort is currently recognized by most states, the states that have recognized the tort have different standards for liability and little clarity is provided to employers on how to avoid liability. By creating certainty in the marketplace through a reformed negligent hiring tort, states can encourage business activity from civic-minded businesses while holding businesses, which fail to exhibit good civic behavior, …


Far From Fair, Farther From Efficient: The Ftc And The Hyper-Formalization Of Informal Rulemaking, Cooper J. Spinelli Aug 2014

Far From Fair, Farther From Efficient: The Ftc And The Hyper-Formalization Of Informal Rulemaking, Cooper J. Spinelli

Legislation and Policy Brief

Partially concerned with the proliferation of the “New Deal” agencies, Congress saw theAPAas a “compromise measure.” That is, Congress designed it to afford “uniformity and fairness in administrative procedures without at the same time unduly interfering with the efficient and economical operation of government.” Scholars and jurists from across the political spectrum have recognized that the notice-and-comment process allows for relative flexibility that can help “foster better government” by setting policy prospectively and expeditiously, thereby striking a reasonable balance between fairness and efficiency. In contrast to adjudicative measures, informal rulemaking can offer holistic treatment to market disorders—with considerable public input—without …


Is Statutory Immunity For Spaceflight Operators Good Enough?, Maria-Vittoria “Giugi” Carminati Aug 2014

Is Statutory Immunity For Spaceflight Operators Good Enough?, Maria-Vittoria “Giugi” Carminati

Legislation and Policy Brief

Over the past decade, the commercial spaceflight industry has seen a growth never witnessed before. The likes of Virgin Galactic and Xcor are promising suborbital flights to anyone willing to pay the price. Golden Spike is selling tickets to the moon. And SpaceX was re-supplying the ISS as a commercial provider as of 2012. States have responded to this growth by trying to make themselves more attractive to these commercial providers of space services (hereinafter generally referred to as “spaceflight entities”). Attractiveness has become synonymous with overt efforts to decrease spaceflight entities’ liability from injuries to their spaceflight participants (“SFPs”). …


Can Consumers Bring State Claims For Furnisher Errors On Their Credit Reports, Catherine Bourque Aug 2014

Can Consumers Bring State Claims For Furnisher Errors On Their Credit Reports, Catherine Bourque

Legislation and Policy Brief

In an increasingly digital world, it can often feel like numbers define us. Whether your social security number, your phone number, or your credit score, the cold truth is that your identity is often boiled down to a single number. In the financial world, your credit score traditionally defines your eligibility for credit and the cost of credit, but the uses of credit scores have expanded to include premiums for insurance, employment eligibility, and other non-financial determinations. Particularly in tough financial times, small fluctuations in credit scores can have large impacts on consumers’ access to affordable credit.

As furnishers and …
