Thinking About Habeas Corpus, Erwin Chemerinsky Jan 1987

Thinking About Habeas Corpus, Erwin Chemerinsky

Faculty Scholarship

Hailed as the "great writ of liberty," the writ of habeas corpus protects the American citizenry from arbitrary and wrongful governmental imprisonment. The scope of the protection provided by the writ, however, has never been finally settled during it's almost 200 year existence. This is the result of failure on the part of those analyzing its scope to recognize the complexity of the issues involved and to confront the true issues that underlie its application. In this Article, Professor Chemerinsky discusses what he considers to be the four primary considerations of habeas issues; federalism, separation of powers, the purposes of …


Shareholder Litigation In The United States And Australia: Common Problems, Uncommon Solutions, Deborah A. Demott Jan 1987

Shareholder Litigation In The United States And Australia: Common Problems, Uncommon Solutions, Deborah A. Demott

Faculty Scholarship

To what extent should decisions of companies' directors and controlling shareholders be challenged in litgation brought by disgruntled shareholders? The response in the United States tends to differ from that in Australia and Great Britain and to produce divergent legal rules for the regulation of shareholder litigation. Nonetheless, to some extent these dissimilar legal rules reflect common policy concerns created by shareholder litigation. This article begins with a brief sketch of the development of rules governing shareholder derivative suits, actions in which the shareholder sues on behalf of a company in which he owns shares alleging that the company has …

Assessing The Effects Of Case Characteristics And Settlement Forums On Dispute Outcomes And Compliance, Neil Vidmar Jan 1987

Assessing The Effects Of Case Characteristics And Settlement Forums On Dispute Outcomes And Compliance, Neil Vidmar

Faculty Scholarship

McEwen and Maiman (1986) have disagreed with my claim that the case characteristic of admitted liability explains more variability in dispute outcome and compliance than whether the case was resolved through a mediation or adjudication forum. Those authors reanalyzed some of my data from an Ontario small claims court and concluded that forum type is the stronger variable. I take issue with them on a number of conceptual and methodological points. In my own reanalysis of the Ontario data I am able to demonstrate statistically that admitted liability is the stronger predictor of outcomes. I also discuss why this should …


Comparative Dimensions Of Takeover Regulation, Deborah A. Demott Jan 1987

Comparative Dimensions Of Takeover Regulation, Deborah A. Demott

Faculty Scholarship

Systems of corporate law and securities regulation differ considerably amoung jurisdictions. This Article focuses on differences among rules that pertain to corporate takeovers. No jurisdiction's regulation of tender offers, however complex its terms, operates in a legal or economic vacuum. Thus, this Article begins by examining the institutional and economic factors that define the regulatory and transactional climate for tender offer regulation. These factors, in large part, explain why hostile takeover transactions occur in significant numbers in only relatively few countries. Section II surveys information describing the takeover environment in four of those countries- The United States, Great Britain, Candada, …
