Should Corporations Have First Amendment Rights?, Kent Greenfield, Daniel Greenwood, Erik Jaffe
Should Corporations Have First Amendment Rights?, Kent Greenfield, Daniel Greenwood, Erik Jaffe
Seattle University Law Review
As Professor Winkler correctly stated, current doctrine emphasizes the rights of listeners rather than the identity of corporate speakers. My argument is, in effect, that this emphasis misses the key point. But I will not deal with listeners directly. I am simply going to assume, rather than argue, that if corporate advertising were ineffective in influencing voters or legislators, normal market processes would eliminate it. I'm going to take it for granted that when corporations speak, it makes a difference in the actual results.
The Corporatization Of Communication, Eric Chiappinelli, Adam Candeub, Jeffrey Chester, Lawrence Soley
The Corporatization Of Communication, Eric Chiappinelli, Adam Candeub, Jeffrey Chester, Lawrence Soley
Seattle University Law Review
Our next panel discusses the corporatization of communication.
Keynote Speech, Mark Crispin Miller
Keynote Speech, Mark Crispin Miller
Seattle University Law Review
Corporations tend to work against immediate contact. They tend to discourage familial bonds and popular interaction. They are allergic to democracy. Because corporations are usually in the business of selling deviations of various kinds, they tend to want a world in which each one of us is completely walled off in a portable, wonderful land of communication technology. Corporations want a world where everything is done for us. A world where everything is presented to us through a corporate medium, so that what once looked like satire is now commonly represented as an admirable ideal. To that end, I am …
Curbing Shareholder Voting Groups With A New Philosophy For Washington's Business Corporation Act, Tilman Larson
Curbing Shareholder Voting Groups With A New Philosophy For Washington's Business Corporation Act, Tilman Larson
Seattle University Law Review
This Comment explores Washington's changing philosophy of shareholder voting and how the current developments to Washington's corporate law have impacted shareholder voting group rights. In light of Washington's corporate law history, the underlying reasons for the amendments, and case law, this Comment argues that the recent amendments have altered, rather than preserved, what has been historically the true philosophy underlying Washington corporate law: minority shareholder rights. Part II of this Comment tracks the evolution of voting group rights through past Washington law and until the present Washington Business Corporation Act. Part III discusses the underlying reasons for the amendments, addresses …
Racially Restrictive Covenants In The State Of Washington: A Primer For Practitioners, Rajeev Majumdar
Racially Restrictive Covenants In The State Of Washington: A Primer For Practitioners, Rajeev Majumdar
Seattle University Law Review
Part II of this Comment will begin by examining the history of racially restrictive covenants, specifically the nature of covenants and the role of the federal government in both spreading and hindering the usage of such covenants. Part III will discuss the legal underpinnings of what makes such covenants unenforceable in Washington, and the best processes an attorney can use to remove them. Part IV will discuss a recent case that has significantly altered the collateral consequences of attempting to destroy racially restrictive covenants upon other associated covenants. As a result, those seeking to retain the benefits of other covenants …

"Original Acts," "Meager Offspring," And Titles In A Bill's Family Tree: A Legislative Drafter's Perspective On City Of Fircrest V. Jensen, Kristen L. Fraser
"Original Acts," "Meager Offspring," And Titles In A Bill's Family Tree: A Legislative Drafter's Perspective On City Of Fircrest V. Jensen, Kristen L. Fraser
Seattle University Law Review
This Article takes a closer look at the "dark and bloody ground" of City of Fircrest v. Jenson from the perspective of a legislative drafter, and discusses several flaws in the Fircrest plurality's approach. First, by focusing on the title of an "original act," the plurality's resurrection of the St. Paul analysis (under which the title of an "act" may be used to determine whether a subsequent "amendatory act" complies with the subject-in-title requirement of Article II, section 19 of the state constitution) conflicts with legislative use and implementation of Article II, section 19. Second, Fircrest and St. Paul thwart …
Your Licensor Has A License To Kill, And It May Be Yours: Why The Ninth Circuit Should Resist Bankruptcy Law That Threatens Intellectual Property Licensing Rights, Jon Minear
Seattle University Law Review
In recent opinions, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has interpreted the Bankruptcy Code ("the Code") in a manner that makes inaction or ignorance perilous for IP licensees whose licensor declares bankruptcy. Although Congress amended the Code to protect a licensee from losing technology rights in these situations, the Seventh Circuit has narrowly interpreted a strikingly similar bankruptcy provision involving real-estate leases and, in doing so, has cast doubt on the efficacy of the licensee protections found in section 365(n) of the Code. In addition, this circuit has broadly interpreted another Code section dealing with title-clearing sales …
The Difference A Day Makes: How Courts Circumvent Federal Immigration Law At Sentencing, David S. Keenan
The Difference A Day Makes: How Courts Circumvent Federal Immigration Law At Sentencing, David S. Keenan
Seattle University Law Review
Efforts in criminal courts to avoid deportation as a result of convictions are prevalent throughout the United States. Although defendants in Washington have a statutory right to be advised of the potential immigration consequences of a guilty plea, there is no statutory or constitutional requirement that a judge take immigration consequences into consideration in imposing sentence. Nonetheless, as was the case in the assault on Micah Painter, judges can and do make what are effectively policy judgments when sentencing defendants, with an eye toward helping them avoid deportation.

The Constitutional And Statutory Framework Organizing The Office Of The United States Attorney, Christian M. Halliburton
The Constitutional And Statutory Framework Organizing The Office Of The United States Attorney, Christian M. Halliburton
Seattle University Law Review
The U.S. Attorney position is one characterized by a broad delegation of the duty to enforce the laws of the United States, and to appear on behalf of the government in any civil action involving the United States or its revenues. This delegation of duties necessarily entails the exercise of discretion, and that exercise of discretion necessarily depends on the United States Attorneys' independence of judgment. The U.S. Attorney can thus be described as an agent with multiple principles, or a servant of two masters: the U.S. Attorneys clearly serve at the "pleasure" of the President, must be responsive to …
Train Wreck At The Justice Department: An Eyewitness Account, John Mckay
Train Wreck At The Justice Department: An Eyewitness Account, John Mckay
Seattle University Law Review
In a series of early morning phone calls on December 7, 2006, seven United States Attorneys were ordered to resign. Despite initial denials, it would later be revealed that two other U.S. Attorneys had also been ordered to submit their resignations, bringing the total number to nine. Each was given no explanation for the dismissal and most were led to believe that they alone were being dismissed, raising the specter of unstated wrongdoing and encouraging silent departures. Those dismissed uniformly cited the maxim that they "served at the pleasure of the President" and most sought to avoid publicly disputing the …
Rescuing The Rescued: Stemming The Tide Of Foreclosure Rescue Scams In Washington, Zachary E. Davies
Rescuing The Rescued: Stemming The Tide Of Foreclosure Rescue Scams In Washington, Zachary E. Davies
Seattle University Law Review
While foreclosure rescue scam (FRS) victims have many remedies under existing statutes, remedies are inadequate because they fail to holistically address the FRS problem. A successful statutory approach to combating the spread of this insidious scam must rest on three legs: education, enforcement, and litigation. First, homeowners facing foreclosure need timely warnings regarding the existence and prevalence of the FRS before the onslaught of FRSA solicitations begins. Next, in addition to education,homeowners need effective enforcement of the statutes that are supposed to protect them. Finally, homeowners wronged by FRSAs need to be able to seek civil relief that both adequately …

Unauthorized Annexing Of An Artist's World: An Argument For Creator-Assignee Standing To Sue For Copyright Infringement, Karen A. Skretkowicz
Seattle University Law Review
This Comment surveys the contemporary status of copyright law regarding a creator-assignee's standing to sue for infringement and the bases for allowing a creator-assignee to bring an infringement action. Part II begins the discussion with a review of the general principles of copyright law, including its constitutional and statutory frameworks, its underlying policies, and the moral rights doctrine. Part III continues with an overview of the general constitutional standing principles and real party in interest prerequisites. It then outlines the statutory and judicial limits on standing to sue under copyright law. Part IV discusses the issue of assignee standing in …
Beyond Chevron'S Domain: Agency Interpretations Of Statutory Procedural Provisions, Melissa M. Berry
Beyond Chevron'S Domain: Agency Interpretations Of Statutory Procedural Provisions, Melissa M. Berry
Seattle University Law Review
Part II of the Article outlines the procedures required by the APA for agency adjudications. Part III discusses the three primary approaches that courts have followed to determine what triggers formal adjudicatory procedures and introduces the Chevron doctrine. Part IV examines how courts review agency interpretations of statutory provisions under Chevron and its progeny and explores two issues on the fringes of Chevron's domain-interpretations of agency jurisdiction and judicial review provisions-and the concerns that they raise. Next, using lessons from these analogous issues, Part V analyzes similar concerns about congressional intent, institutional competency, agency self-interest, and fairness in the …
