‘Breard,’ Our Dualist Constitution, And The Internationalist Conception, Curtis A. Bradley Jan 1999

‘Breard,’ Our Dualist Constitution, And The Internationalist Conception, Curtis A. Bradley

Faculty Scholarship

In its decision last Term in 'Breard v. Greene,' the Supreme Court refused to stay the execution of Angel Breard, an inmate in Virginia, even though Virginia had violted a treaty on consular relations and the International Court of Justice had ordered the United States to "take all measures at its disposal" to stay the execution. The international law academy has been heavily critical of the Supreme Court's decision and other aspects of the United States' handling of the Breard case. In this article Professor Bradley argues that the criticisms by the academy reflect an "international conception" of the relationship …

Rethinking Cost-Benefit Analysis, Matthew D. Adler, Eric A. Posner Jan 1999

Rethinking Cost-Benefit Analysis, Matthew D. Adler, Eric A. Posner

Faculty Scholarship

This paper analyzes cost-benefit analysis from legal, economic, and philosophical perspectives. The traditional defense of cost-benefit analysis is that it maximizes a social welfare function that aggregates unweighted and unrestricted preferences. We follow many economists and philosophers who conclude that this defense is not persuasive. Cost-benefit analysis unavoidably depends on controversial distributive judgments; and the view that the government should maximize the satisfaction of unrestricted preferences is not plausible. However, we disagree with critics who argue that cost-benefit analysis produces morally irrelevant evaluations of projects and should be abandoned. On the contrary, cost-benefit analysis, suitably constrained, is consistent with a …

When Corporate Managers Fear A Good Thing Is Coming To An End: The Case Of Interim Nondisclosure, Mitu Gulati Jan 1999

When Corporate Managers Fear A Good Thing Is Coming To An End: The Case Of Interim Nondisclosure, Mitu Gulati

Faculty Scholarship

Every public offering of securities is necessarily made some time during a fiscal quarter. Companies are obliged to disclose fall quarter operating results, but their obligations regarding the as-yet-incomplete quarter remain unclear. In this Article, Professor Mitu Gulati tackles both the normative question of whether companies doing offerings should be required to disclose their unripe information concerning the current quarter and the doctrinal question of whether such an obligation already exists within the framework of disclosure duties. The Article concludes that, while market forces and regulatory requirements operate to solve the interim nondisclosure problem in the majority of cases, there …
