Beyond The Smokestack: Environmental Protection In The Service Economy, James Salzman Jan 2000

Beyond The Smokestack: Environmental Protection In The Service Economy, James Salzman

Faculty Scholarship

When our pollution control statutes were drafted in the 1970s, smokestack sources sat squarely in these laws' regulatory cross hairs. Over the past few decades, however, manufacturing's relative importance has declined while the service sector has ascended to a position of dominance in America's economy. Yet consideration of services remains almost entirely absent from environmental law and policy scholarship. In this Article, Professor James Salzman addresses the implications for environmental protection of the service sector's ascent. Commentators have suggested that the ascent of services provides an important path toward sustainable development. In Part I of this Article, Salzman examines the …

Connected Contracts, Mitu Gulati, William A. Klein, Eric M. Zolt Jan 2000

Connected Contracts, Mitu Gulati, William A. Klein, Eric M. Zolt

Faculty Scholarship

This Article proposes the metaphor of connected contracts for understanding collaborative economic activity. "Connected contracts" refers to the interrelating agreements and relationships among the participants in a business venture. From the perspective offered by this metaphor, there are no firms, no predetermined hierarchies, no organizations with personalities of their own, and no a priori notions of ownership or control; there is no shareholder or managerial primacy and no centralizing "nexus." The view is from the bottom up rather than from the top down. Boundaries and governance are not central issues, nor do they loom in the background. There are no …


Exit Consents In Sovereign Bond Exchanges, Mitu Gulati, Lee C. Buchheit Jan 2000

Exit Consents In Sovereign Bond Exchanges, Mitu Gulati, Lee C. Buchheit

Faculty Scholarship

The external debt of emerging market sovereign borrowers is now mainly in the form of bonds held by numerous institutional and individual bondholders. Many of these bonds are governed by the law of the state of New York. As a matter of drafting convention, bonds for sovereign issuers governed by New York law prohibit amendments to the payment terms of the instruments (the amount and the due dates of payments) without the consent of each affected bondholder. If a sovereign issuer finds it necessary to seek a restructuring of its bond indebtedness, it must therefore implement the restructuring by offering …

Accounting For Greed: Unraveling The “Rogue Trader” Mystery, Kimberly D. Krawiec Jan 2000

Accounting For Greed: Unraveling The “Rogue Trader” Mystery, Kimberly D. Krawiec

Faculty Scholarship

In this article, I analyze the motivations underlying the actions of "rogue traders" - market professionals who engage in unauthorized purchases or sales of securities, commodities or derivatives, often for a financial institution's proprietary trading account - and the motivations of the managers or supervisors who are assigned to oversee such traders. After beginning with the observation that rogue trading incidents are neither new nor isolated events, I argue that the continued existence of pervasive rogue trading has remained a mystery for industry observers, particularly given both the extensive legal regime and formal institutional policies apparently designed to curb such …


The Jurisdiction Of The International Criminal Court Over Nationals Of Non-Party States, Madeline Morris Jan 2000

The Jurisdiction Of The International Criminal Court Over Nationals Of Non-Party States, Madeline Morris

Faculty Scholarship

This article questions the validity under international law of the provisions of the Treaty for an International Criminal Court (ICC) that purport to give the ICC jurisdiction over nationals of states that are not parties to the Treaty. The article examines two facially plausible theories for the validity of ICC jurisdiction over non-party nationals: that the ICC may exercise universal jurisdiction delegated to it by states parties, and that the ICC may exercise territorial jurisdiction delegated to it by states parties. Each of those theories is found to be flawed. The article then questions whether there is in fact any …

World Music On A U.S. Stage: A Berne/Trips And Economic Analysis Of The Fairness In Music Licensing Act, Laurence R. Helfer Jan 2000

World Music On A U.S. Stage: A Berne/Trips And Economic Analysis Of The Fairness In Music Licensing Act, Laurence R. Helfer

Faculty Scholarship

This article analyzes the dispute settlement proceedings pending before the World Trade Organization (WTO) concerning the Fairness in Music License Act of 1998, a new provision of the US Copyright Act that exempts many bars, restaurants, and retail stores from paying license fees for performing broadcast music in their establishments. In May 1999, the European Community challenged the Act, and its predecessor "homestyle exemption," as a violation of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) and the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (Berne). The FMLA dispute is the first time in …

Redistricting In North Carolina-A Personal Perspective, Robinson O. Everett Jan 2000

Redistricting In North Carolina-A Personal Perspective, Robinson O. Everett

Faculty Scholarship

In 1992, when I filed a lawsuit attacking North Carolina's recently enacted congressional redistricting plan, my premise was that drawing a plan for a racially defined purpose violates equal protection and for this reason and others is unconstitutional. Having now argued four appeals before the Supreme Court concerning North Carolina's redistricting, I still believe in the correctness of my origial premise; but, in addition, I am concerned that districts drawn with a predominantly racial purpose tend to polarize our society, discourage the formation of multiracial coalitions, and, in the long run, to harm even those they are intended to protect. …
