For Whom The Bell Tolls: The Demise Of Exchange Trading Floors And The Growth Of Ecns, Jerry W. Markham Jan 2008

For Whom The Bell Tolls: The Demise Of Exchange Trading Floors And The Growth Of Ecns, Jerry W. Markham

Jerry W. Markham

This article describes the rise and fall of exchange trading floors on exchanges in both the stock and derivatives markets. The colorful “open outcry” trading in the “pits” of the Chicago futures exchanges and the bell ringing tradition opening trading on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) have long dominated the public perception of how those markets operate. Those scenes are now fast becoming history as the exchanges implement radical changes to their trading practices as the result of competition from electronic communications networks (“ECNs”). That competition has already forced the NYSE and the Chicago futures exchanges …

Option Backdating And Its Implications, Jesse M. Fried Jan 2008

Option Backdating And Its Implications, Jesse M. Fried

Washington and Lee Law Review

Thousands of U.S. companies appear to have secretly backdated stock options. This Article analyzes three forms of secret option backdating: (1) the backdating of executives' option grants; (2) the backdating of nonexecutive employees' option grants; and (3) the backdating of executives' option exercises. It shows that each type of backdating less likely reflects arm's length contracting than a desire to inflate and camouflage executive pay. Secret backdating thus provides further evidence that pay arrangements have been shaped by executives' influence over their boards. The fact that so many firms continued to secretly backdate after the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in blatant violation …

Restructuring The Courts: In Search Of Basic Principles For The Judiciary Of Post-War Bosnia And Herzegovina, David Pimentel Jan 2008

Restructuring The Courts: In Search Of Basic Principles For The Judiciary Of Post-War Bosnia And Herzegovina, David Pimentel

Chicago Journal of International Law

While judicial reform projects are underway in many countries, particularly in the developing world, it is unusual for the reform efforts to include a complete restructuring of a court system which redefines the number, size, and location of courts, as well as their territorial and subject-matter jurisdiction. A court restructuring initiative in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina, therefore, broke new ground in its effort to divine the guiding principles for how many courts are needed, where they are needed, and how many judges are required for each of them. The report of that effort-entitled Restructuring the Court System: Report and Proposal …

Equality Of States - Its Meaning In A Constitutionalized Global Order, Ulrich K. Preuss Jan 2008

Equality Of States - Its Meaning In A Constitutionalized Global Order, Ulrich K. Preuss

Chicago Journal of International Law

The Article is divided into six sections. Section II begins with an analysis of the conceptual relation between equality and the essential element of statehood, namely the plurality of states and their formation of an unorganized or anarchical society, followed in Section III by an analysis of the significance of the status of membership in the international society for the concept of "sovereign equality" as established by the United Nations. Section IV deals with the transformations of the structure of international society from its incipient character as a horizontal or anarchical society through the League of Nations to the UNO. …


State-Building In A Post-Colonial Society: The Case Of Solomon Islands, Sinclair Dinnen Jan 2008

State-Building In A Post-Colonial Society: The Case Of Solomon Islands, Sinclair Dinnen

Chicago Journal of International Law

Despite growing levels of conflict and instability in parts of the southwest Pacific, Australia has, until recently, been reluctant to intervene in the affairs of neighboring states. As the dominant metropolitan power in the region, a former colony of Britain, and the ex-colonial administrator of Papua New Guinea, Australia has gone out of its way to avoid any perceptions of acting in an imperialist or neo-colonial fashion. Instead, its influence has been wielded primarily through diplomacy and bilateral development assistance. This traditional reluctance to intervene was also justified in terms of the practical limitations of external intervention, given the cultural …


Making The State Do Justice: Transnational Prosecutions And International Support For Criminal Investigations In Post-Armed Conflict Guatemala, Naomi Roht-Arriaza Jan 2008

Making The State Do Justice: Transnational Prosecutions And International Support For Criminal Investigations In Post-Armed Conflict Guatemala, Naomi Roht-Arriaza

Chicago Journal of International Law

This Article will first briefly describe the background of the Guatemalan conflict and the evolution of the transnational cases against the military high command. It will then focus on some of the legal strategy issues involved and on the gains and losses of this transnational networking approach to combating impunity. In particular, it will look at how the multinational legal team, working simultaneously in the Spanish and Guatemalan courts on different aspects of the case, has allowed for learning and training opportunities for the lawyers involved, has forced local courts to engage with international law, and has tried to use …

The Petrochina Syndrome: Regulating Capital Markets In The Anti-Globalization Era, Stephen F. Diamond Jan 2008

The Petrochina Syndrome: Regulating Capital Markets In The Anti-Globalization Era, Stephen F. Diamond

Stephen F. Diamond

This article argues that the process of globalization has generated a legitimation deficit that can be the source of wasteful, even destructive, social and political conflict. I stylize this outcome as "the PetroChina Syndrome," after a leading example of the kind of activity generated in response to globalization, the PetroChina Campaign, where a coalition of labor, human rights, environmental, anti-slavery and religious groups worked together to oppose the initial public offering of a major Chinese oil company led by Goldman Sachs. The article begins with a discussion of this important but largely unexplored dimension of the anti-globalization era triggered by …


“Stoneridge And Scheme Liability Under Rule 10b-5: The Case For Private Enforcement.”, Erica L. Finkelson Jan 2008

“Stoneridge And Scheme Liability Under Rule 10b-5: The Case For Private Enforcement.”, Erica L. Finkelson

Erica L Finkelson

This note examines the issue of scheme liability in securities fraud, which was heard on October 9, 2007 before the Supreme Court in Stoneridge Investment Partners, LLS, (Stoneridge) v. Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. and Motorola, Inc. Stoneridge represents shareholders who purchased stock in the cable company Charter Communications, Inc. (Charter). Stoneridge sued Scientific-Atlanta and Motorola for fraud because these companies knowingly agreed to let Charter overpay them for cable boxes and returned those funds to Charter as advertising payments so that Charter could inflate its revenue, misleading investors as to Charter’s book value. This note argues that Scientific-Atlanta and Motorola’s purposeful and …
