What Do We Worry About When We Worry About Price Discrimination? The Law And Ethics Of Using Personal Information For Pricing, Akiva A. Miller
What Do We Worry About When We Worry About Price Discrimination? The Law And Ethics Of Using Personal Information For Pricing, Akiva A. Miller
Akiva A Miller
New information technologies have dramatically increased sellers’ ability to engage in retail price discrimination. Debates over using personal information for price discrimination frequently treat it as a single problem, and are not sufficiently sensitive to the variety of price discrimination practices, the different kinds of information they require in order to succeed, and the different ethical concerns they raise. This paper explores the ethical and legal debate over regulating price discrimination facilitated by consumers’ personal information. Various kinds of “privacy remedies”—self-regulation, technological fixes, state regulation, and legislating private causes of legal action—each have their place. By drawing distinctions between various …

Should The Commercial Landlord Have A Duty To Mitigate Damages After The Tenant Abandons?: A Legal And Economic Analysis, David Crump
David Crump
When a commercial tenant abandons the premises, the landlord’s costs continue. Does the landlord, then, have the burden of mitigating damages for a suit against the tenant? Two different rules apply in different states. Some states, including Pennsylvania, put the burden of mitigation on the breaching party: the commercial tenant. Other states, however, put the burden entirely on the non-breaching party: the landlord. Texas follows this latter approach, placing the burden solely on the innocent party and not on the breaching party. The Texas rule, which puts the burden of mitigation on the non-breaching commercial landlord, has serious disadvantages. First, …

Science And Compliance In The Arctic: A Constructivist Approach To The Un Commission On The Limits Of The Continental Shelf, Sari M. Graben, Peter Harrison
Science And Compliance In The Arctic: A Constructivist Approach To The Un Commission On The Limits Of The Continental Shelf, Sari M. Graben, Peter Harrison
Sari M Graben
The United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf is expected to play an essential role in delineating the rights of the Arctic states to sea bed resources in the Arctic Ocean. Positivist theories of international law generally source Arctic state compliance to the binding effect of Article 76 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. However, positivist explanations fail to answer why the Arctic states, which are authorized to establish their own limits, would accept the sovereignty costs associated with the Commission’s legal and scientific interpretations. In order to better understand how the Commission …
Joint Federal Income Tax Returns: If Doma Dies And Even If It Lives The Weak Case For Distinguishing Between Same-Sex And Different-Sex Married Couples, Julie A.D. Manasfi
Joint Federal Income Tax Returns: If Doma Dies And Even If It Lives The Weak Case For Distinguishing Between Same-Sex And Different-Sex Married Couples, Julie A.D. Manasfi
Julie A.D. Manasfi
Joint Federal Income Tax Returns: If DOMA Dies And Even If It Lives The Weak Case For Distinguishing between Same-Sex and Different-Sex Married Couples State recognition of same-sex marriages and marriage-like statuses raised the question of whether these relationships would be respected for federal purposes. In 1996, the Defense of Marriage Act (“DOMA”) answered the question with a definitive “no.” Section 3 of DOMA defines “marriage” for federal purposes as “a legal union between one man and one woman.” DOMA’s definition of marriage has been found unconstitutional in eight federal courts. In fact in 2011, at the instruction of President …
