Not-So-Smartphone Disclosures, Jeff Sovern, Nahal Heydari
Arkansas Law Review
The consumer credit market, and particularly the credit card market, lacks perfect competition. Though usury laws and regulation of charges are germane to our findings, this Article focuses largely on disclosure. Specifically, we examine whether consumers understand the disclosures mandated for credit cards in the medium in which many consumers now engage in financial transactions. This Article proceeds as follows: Part I presents some basics on consumer protections for credit cards. Part II reviews the literature concerning disclosures on smartphones. Part III discusses our methodology. Part IV reports our findings. Part V suggests some normative implications.
Thanks For The Lyft: Optimizing Rideshare Safety In Arkansas, Addison A. Tucker
Thanks For The Lyft: Optimizing Rideshare Safety In Arkansas, Addison A. Tucker
Arkansas Law Notes
Rideshare companies such as Uber and Lyft, also known as Transportation Network Companies (“TNCs”), are underregulated and provide little protection to passengers, despite the thousands of women who have reported instances of sexual violence during their trips. This Comment argues that Arkansas law should be modified to strengthen the criminal background checks of potential rideshare drivers, require surveillance during rides, and classify the impersonation of a rideshare driver as a felony.

United States Food Law Update: Shrouded By Election-Year Politics, State Initiatives And Private Lawsuits Fill In The Gaps Created By Congressional And Agency Ossification, A. Bryan Endres, Lisa R. Schlessinger, Rachel Armstrong
Journal of Food Law & Policy
Observers of food law in the 2012 presidential election year witnessed a dramatic slowing of federal initiatives-perhaps arising from a desire by both Congress and the administration to avoid upsetting critical constituent groups during a year seemingly dominated by campaigns and endless talking points. For example, Congress failed to take action on a unique compromise between what some had considered mortal enemies-the Humane Society of the United States and United Egg Producers-that would implement a federal animal welfare standard for laying hens in return for abandoning ballot measures in various states. Similarly, the FDA waited until the early days of …

European Union Food Law Update, Nicole Coutrelis
Journal of Food Law & Policy
On March 31, 2006, the European Commission published Council Regulation (EC) No. 510/2006 On the Protection of Geographical Indications and Designations of Origin for Agricultural Products and Foodstuffs. This new regulation repealed Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2081/92 On the Protection of Geographical Indications and Designations of Origin for Agricultural Products and Foodstuffs mainly to bring Community law into conformity with the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements and the findings of a recent WTO panel. Under the new Regulation, persons in third countries (non-European Union members) are entitled to address applications for the protection of geographic names and statements of objection …
Creating Balance: Problems Within Dshea And Suggestions For Reform, Jennifer Akre Hill
Creating Balance: Problems Within Dshea And Suggestions For Reform, Jennifer Akre Hill
Journal of Food Law & Policy
The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) was signed into law on October 25, 1994. At the signing, President Clinton endorsed the "intense efforts" of manufacturers and legislators to change the "treatment of dietary supplements under regulation and law." Further, the bill was signed with the hope that it would benefit consumers by permitting more access to dietary supplements and more choices for consumer directed healthcare. In support, politicians on both sides of the aisle claimed the DSHEA as a victory for consumer freedom, populist protection, and preventative medicine.
Equalizing The Playing Field: The Time Has Come For Secondary Meaning In The Making In Small Restaurant Trade Dress Infringement Cases, John Pesek
Journal of Food Law & Policy
Imagine it is opening day for your first restaurant. It has taken months, if not years, to get to this point and you have spent a lot of money in developing the menu, artist style, and feel for the restaurant. A few months after the opening of your restaurant, a competing restaurant, right down the block from your restaurant, opens its doors; its menu and overall look are virtually indistinguishable from your restaurant. You are left wondering what remedies, if any, you have as a small restaurant owner. This was the case for Chef Rebecca Charles and her Pearl Oyster …
Identities Lost: Enacting Federal Law Mandating Disclosure & Notice After A Data Security Breach, John Ogle
Identities Lost: Enacting Federal Law Mandating Disclosure & Notice After A Data Security Breach, John Ogle
Arkansas Law Review
Identity theft is real, it’s here, and consumers need protection. Over the past five years hackers have stolen billions of consumers’ sensitive information like social security numbers, addresses, and bank routing numbers from companies that have neglected their security measures. Most of the time these security breaches are easily preventable. Companies sometimes wait weeks, months, or even years to inform the customers whose information was stolen because there is no federal law that requires disclosure. As of 2018, all 50 states have adopted security breach notification laws that require companies to inform consumers that their information may have been stolen …
