Regulating To Achieve Stability In The Domain Of High-Frequency Trading, Lindsey C. Crump

Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review

High-frequency trading has become a darling of capital markets debate. This debate thrives because the true and long-lasting effects of high-frequency trading are still unknown.

Making Much Ado About Theory: The Chinese Trademark Law, Leah Chan Grinvald Jan 2008

Making Much Ado About Theory: The Chinese Trademark Law, Leah Chan Grinvald

Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review

This imposition is understandable, as little thought has been given to the Chinese theoretical justification for their …
