"Front-Running" - Insider Trading Under The Commodity Exchange Act, Jerry W. Markham Jan 1988

"Front-Running" - Insider Trading Under The Commodity Exchange Act, Jerry W. Markham

Faculty Publications

On ‘Black Monday,’ October 19, 1987, ‘perhaps the worst day in the history of U.S. equity markets,’ the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 508 points, representing a loss of approximately $1 trillion in the value of all outstanding United States stocks. In the wake of the crash, numerous studies were conducted and reports published in which a host of regulatory issues were considered, including a disturbing phenomenon called ‘front-running.’ Simply stated, the practice of front-running involves a transaction in a commodity futures contract or a stock option contract by a trader with ‘material’ nonpublic information concerning a ‘block’ transaction …

Corporate Loans To Directors And Officers -- Every Business Now A Bank?, Jayne W. Barnard Jan 1988

Corporate Loans To Directors And Officers -- Every Business Now A Bank?, Jayne W. Barnard

Faculty Publications

In most states, a corporation may loan money to an officer or director if the board of directors authorizes the loan and finds that it will "benefit" the corporation. According to Professor Jayne W. Barnard, however, this benefit requirement has proved to be an illusory standard. Barnard reviews existing law on the subject and surveys the executive lending practices of 152 publicly held corporations. She concludes that executive loan enabling statutes have failed to consider the risks involved in making such loans, such as illiquidity, inadequate collateralization, inclination to default, and volatility of the economy. As a result, current laws …

The Purposes And Limits Of Independent Agencies, Paul R. Verkuil Jan 1988

The Purposes And Limits Of Independent Agencies, Paul R. Verkuil

Faculty Publications

The independent agency has been around for 100 years now, but we are still trying to understand how it best relates to the administration of government. Its popularity as an organizational mechanism is more a function of competing political forces within the legislative and executive branches than of any systematic analysis of its effectiveness. Yet one can discern reasons why independent agencies might be superior mechanisms for administering government programs if their structure and purpose are analyzed functionally. This essay proposes to do that and, in the process, reach some conclusions about both the potential and the limits of the …

Role Of The Criminal Defense Lawyer In Representing The Mentally Impaired Defendant: Zealous Advocate Or Officer Of The Court, Rodney J. Uphoff Jan 1988

Role Of The Criminal Defense Lawyer In Representing The Mentally Impaired Defendant: Zealous Advocate Or Officer Of The Court, Rodney J. Uphoff

Faculty Publications

This article examines a difficult question in the representation of mentally impaired criminal defendants: should counsel be obligated to inform the court of doubts about a client's competency to stand trial even though doing so may be contrary to the client's wishes or best interests? Professor Rodney J. Uphoff analyzes authorities that impose such an obligation on defense lawyers, including an American Bar Association Criminal Justice Standard and a recent decision of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, State v. Johnson. Uphoff concludes that these authorities needlessly undercut the mentally impaired defendant's right to zealous representation. He proposes an alternative ethical model …


The Best Evidence Principle, Dale A. Nance Jan 1988

The Best Evidence Principle, Dale A. Nance

Faculty Publications

This Article challenges the premises underlying the reasoning in decisions like Gonzales-Benitez. The point is not that the appellants in that case should have prevailed, but simply that the court's treatment of their argument was inadequate. The court should have considered whether the trial court had and abused a discretion to deny admission of the testimony pursuant to a general best evidence principle. At the very least, the court should have justified its implicit assumption that the phrase ‘best evidence’ could only refer, in the context of this case, to the original document rule.

Protecting Waste Assimilation Streamflows By The Law Of Water Allocation, Nuisance, And Public Trust, And By Environmental Statutes, Peter N. Davis Jan 1988

Protecting Waste Assimilation Streamflows By The Law Of Water Allocation, Nuisance, And Public Trust, And By Environmental Statutes, Peter N. Davis

Faculty Publications

Both federal and state water pollution control statutes require dramatic reductions in waste discharges, but not their total elimination. Those statutes require establishing water quality standards for receiving waters and presume that they will be adequate to assimilate the residual post treatment wastes. But nothing is those statutes assures that minimum flows for waste assimilation in fact will remain in existence. Neither the common law nor eastern and western diversion permit statutes expressly provide direct means for establishing such minimum protected flows for residual waste assimilation. Those means include establishing minimum flows for fish and wildlife habitat and recreation purposes …
