Dodging A Bullet: Mcdonald V. City Of Chicago And The Limits Of Progressive Originalism, Dale E. Ho
Dodging A Bullet: Mcdonald V. City Of Chicago And The Limits Of Progressive Originalism, Dale E. Ho
Dale E Ho
The Supreme Court’s decision in last term’s gun rights case, McDonald v. City of Chicago, punctured the conventional wisdom after District of Columbia v. Heller that “we are all originalists now.” Surprisingly, many progressive academics were disappointed. For “progressive originalists,” McDonald was a missed opportunity to overrule the Slaughter-House Cases and to revitalize the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In their view, such a ruling could have realigned progressive constitutional achievements with originalism and relieved progressives of the albatross of substantive due process, while also unlocking long-dormant constitutional text to serve as the source of new unenumerated …
Critiquing The 2008 Model Act: Redefining "Consent" And Implications Of Intent-Based Parenthood For Posthumous Reproduction, Amy Lai
Amy Lai
My paper critiques the Model Act governing Assisted Reproductive Technology proposed by the American Bar Association in February 2008, for its unnecessarily stringent, one-size-fits-all consent standard governing posthumous reproduction, as well as its far-reaching implications for federal and state legislatures, despite the purportedly modest language of the statute. The paper, by weighing several pertinent factors relating to consent and posthumous conception, advocates a lesser consent standard for the use of deposited, cryopreserved gametes. In addition, it argues that the Model Act promulgates intent-based parenthood which in turn affirms bridging an arbitrary gap between consent and inheritance. Gloria Banks' constructive/ prospective …
(Mis)Judging Intent: The Fundamental Attribution Error In Federal Securities Law, Victor D. Quintanilla
(Mis)Judging Intent: The Fundamental Attribution Error In Federal Securities Law, Victor D. Quintanilla
Victor D. Quintanilla
This article examines the element of scienter (fraudulent intent) in claims of federal securities fraud under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and, more specifically, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Tellabs, Inc. v. Makor Issues & Rights, Ltd., 551 U.S. 308 (2007) from a social-psychological perspective. The field of social psychology has documented a pervasive phenomena—the Fundamental Attribution Error—the failure of decision-makers to consider situational explanations, including the force of environments and social and situational norms on human conduct. In light of robust social-psychological research on the Fundamental Attribution Error, legal concepts such as intent, intentionality, mens rea, and …
Assessing The Applicability Of The Business Judgment Rule And The “Defensive” Business Judgment Rule In The Chinese Judiciary: A Perspective On Takeover Dispute Adjudication, Xiao-Chuan Charlie Weng
Assessing The Applicability Of The Business Judgment Rule And The “Defensive” Business Judgment Rule In The Chinese Judiciary: A Perspective On Takeover Dispute Adjudication, Xiao-Chuan Charlie Weng
Xiao-chuan Charlie Weng
With the surge of takeovers in China, many issues regarding takeover adjudication and legislation have increasingly received academic attention. The issues of the independence and professionalization of the judiciary and the scarcity of legislation on duty of care are the major predicaments facing corporate China. Massive legislative and judicial reform of takeover adjudication is not viable in the near future. However, U.S. common law standards of review, including the business judgment rule and serial rules against hostile takeover, with diacritical the business judgment rule stamp, may hold potential for reform within the current economic environment. The article investigates the problems …

Following the conclusion of military operations in Sri Lanka in 2009, the issue of economic development and distributive justice appears to have remerged on the country’s agenda. Within this post-conflict context, the judiciary in Sri Lanka is confronted with a major challenge in terms of defining its proper role in the promotion of Economic Social and Cultural (“ESC”) rights. The precise extent to which judges should be ‘activist’ in promoting these rights should be contrasted with the level of activism required of judges in the sphere of civil and political rights. Advocating ESC rights in Sri Lanka simply cannot be …

Path Dependence And Durability Of Hong Kong's Existing Corporate Reorganization System, Charles Zhen Qu Dr
Path Dependence And Durability Of Hong Kong's Existing Corporate Reorganization System, Charles Zhen Qu Dr
Charles Zhen Qu Dr
A corporate reorganization system that ensures optimal deployment of distressed companies’ assets helps promote economic development. In many developed economies, faltering firms are reorganized through a formal corporate reorganization procedure. The Hong Kong government has recently recommended the enactment of such a procedure on the assumption that the existing corporate and insolvency framework is ill-equipped to restructure failing companies. This article rebuts this assumption through an assessment of the efficiency of the judicially-developed reorganization system that has emerged as a result of the failure to introduce a formal reorganization procedure a decade ago. It argues that since an efficient alternative …
New Federal Rules For Pending Cases, M. Anderson Berry, Caroline N. Mitchell
New Federal Rules For Pending Cases, M. Anderson Berry, Caroline N. Mitchell
M. Anderson Berry
On Dec. 1, 2010, changes to Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) extended work-product protection to discovery of draft reports by testifying experts and, with three exceptions, to communications between those experts and retaining attorneys. The amendments also require attorneys relying on experts who will provide testimony - but who are not required to provide a full expert report - to disclose the subject matter of the planned testimony and summarize the facts and opinions that the expert expects to offer.
What is not clear is whether this "attorney-expert work-product doctrine" applies to draft reports and …
The Responsibility Gap: The Cia, Covert Actions And Violations Of International Law, Angela Huddleston
The Responsibility Gap: The Cia, Covert Actions And Violations Of International Law, Angela Huddleston
Angela Huddleston
Throughout the course of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the United States of America has committed covert actions in virtually every major region in the world, particularly during the Cold War. These actions are not without their repercussions and have often led to massive violations of international law and human rights. Yet the US is not held responsible for its actions due to legal deficiencies that allow it to breach some of the most basic rules of international law without accountability. This paper examines the obligations of international law concerning covert actions before turning to state responsibility and highlighting the …
The Uncertain State Of Employee Nonsolicitation Clauses In California, Elena K. Kouvabina
The Uncertain State Of Employee Nonsolicitation Clauses In California, Elena K. Kouvabina
Elena K Kouvabina
Employee nonsolicitation clauses continue to be a common feature of employment agreements in California. While Section 16600 of the California Business and Professions Code prohibits contractual restraints on the practice of a lawful profession, trade or business, in 1985, the California Court of Appeal held that employee nonsolicitation clauses do not violate Section 16600 because they do not significantly affect employees’ ability to engage in a lawful profession, trade or business. In a recent decision, however, the California Supreme Court pronounced that Section 16600 is violated even if a covenant does not completely preclude one from engaging in a lawful …

Two Steps Forward, One Step Back: The 2010 Report By The Un Special Representative On Business And Human Rights, Jernej Letnar Cernic
Jernej Letnar Černič
The relationship between human rights law and business has emerged in recent years as one of the most topical to be discussed and put on the agenda almost worldwide. The activities of corporations in this globalized environment have often served as the catalyst for human rights violations; due to the lack of institutional protection, some corporations are able to exploit regulatory lacunae and the lack of human rights protection. On 9 April 2010 Professor John Ruggie, the United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary General on human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises, submitted his fifth Report under …
How A Changing Nation Is Fueling The Rise Of Trade Secret Litigation, David S. Almeling
How A Changing Nation Is Fueling The Rise Of Trade Secret Litigation, David S. Almeling
David S. Almeling
Reports of pilfered trade secrets have grown increasingly common, and as recent studies demonstrate, trade secret litigation is on the rise. A 2010 study of the federal courts shows that trade secret litigation has grown exponentially while litigation in general has decreased. And a 2011 study of state courts shows that trade secret litigation is increasing at a faster rate than the rate of litigation in general. This essay asks: Why? Why is trade secret litigation more prevalent than ever? This essay posits — for the first time — explanations for the fact that trade secrets are increasingly important to …

Disputes Related To Healthcare Across National Boundaries: The Potential For Arbitration, Deth Sao
Disputes Related To Healthcare Across National Boundaries: The Potential For Arbitration, Deth Sao
Deth Sao
Trade in international health services has the potential to play a leading role in the global economy, but its rapid growth is impeded by legal barriers. Advances in technology and cross-border movement of people and health services create legal ambiguities and uncertainties for businesses and consumers involved in transnational medical malpractice disputes. Existing legal protections and remedies afforded by traditional judicial frameworks are unable to resolve the following challenges: (1) assertion of personal jurisdiction; (2) choice of forum and law considerations; (3) appropriate theories of liability for injuries and damages arising from innovations in medical care and delivery of health …

Home Sweet Homestead? Not If You Are Subject To A Mandatory Homeowners' Association!, Bridget M. Fuselier
Home Sweet Homestead? Not If You Are Subject To A Mandatory Homeowners' Association!, Bridget M. Fuselier
Bridget M Fuselier
While Texas homestead law has provided a great degree of protection for homeowners in the past, the rising power of the Homeowners' or Property Owners' Association is placing that protection in jeopardy. Over the past 20 years, associations have grown in number and power. Currently homestead property may be foreclosed on in a non-judicial foreclosure process for non-payment of HOA dues despite the fact that is not one of the liens constitutionally permissible to attach to homestead property. This problem must be remedied, especially in light of stories such as that of Captain Clauer who had his $300,000 home foreclosed …

The Wisdom Of Solomon: Why We Can't Split The Pre-Embryo, Bridget M. Fuselier
Bridget M Fuselier
Due to the fact that there are at least 500,000 cryo-preserved pre-embryos and a very small amount of common law or statutes to provide guidance, legislators need to act and take steps to guide the people impacted by these problems.
This article promotes modifications to property concepts that protects the special dignity of the pre-embryo while also recognizing the autonomy of the individual gamete providers. The article proposes a form of ownership that would prevent the pre-embryos from passing through wills and by intestate succession. It would also eliminate the possibility of ending up with a multitude of owners for …
The Estate Planning Perils Of 2010 And Beyond, Brett T. Bradford
The Estate Planning Perils Of 2010 And Beyond, Brett T. Bradford
Brett T. Bradford
This paper explores the confusion surrounding the repeal of the federal estate tax for the year 2010. The Economic Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act gradually scaled down the federal estate tax and eventually repealed the tax in 2010. The Act has a sunset provision that would return the tax to a much higher rate than has been seen in recent times. This paper explores the history, intent and purpose of federal estate taxes; the intent and purpose behind the repeal in EGTRAA; and what attempts congress has made to fix the mess.
