Preemption, Agency Cost Theory, And Predatory Lending By Banking Agents: Are Federal Regulators Biting Off More Than They Can Chew , Christopher L. Peterson
American University Law Review
A pitched battle is currently being waged for control of the American banking industry. For over a hundred years, the federal and state governments have maintained a complex, but relatively stable truce in their contest for power. At the beginning of our republic, state governments were the primary charterers and regulators of banks. In the wake of the Civil War, the National Bank Act created parity between federal and state banks, cementing the notion of a dual banking system that endured through the twentieth century. But in the past five years, the federal government has increasingly used its powers under …

Center Of Main Interests, International Insolvency Case Venue, And Equality Of Arms: The Eurofood Decision Of The European Court Of Justice, Samuel L. Bufford
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The European Court of Justice ("E.C.J.") issued a ruling on May 2, 2006 in the Eurofood case, finding that the commencement of an insolvency case for Eurofood in Ireland gave the Irish court priority under E.U. law over a similar insolvency case commenced shortly thereafter in Italy. The E.C.J.'s ruling responded to the Supreme Court of Ireland's referral to the E.C.J. of five questions of E.U. law based on the E.U. Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings ("E.U. Regulation"). The Irish Supreme Court had referred these questions to the E.C.J. preliminary to deciding a pending appeal of the Dublin High Court's decision …

A Home Of Its Own: The Role Of Poverty Law In Furthering Law Schools' Mission, Marie A. Fallinger
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This essay argues that poverty law can and should be a part of the law school curriculum. If the law school believes it mission to be creating "1) lawyers as public citizens and leaders; 2) lawyers as skilled technicians of the law; 3) lawyers as skilled counselors; 4) lawyers as advocates on behalf of a cause in legal institutions; and 5) lawyers as transformational partners with the poor" then poverty law instruction is vital.
Race And Wealth Disparity: The Role Of Law And The Legal System, Beverly Moran, Stephanie M. Wildman
Race And Wealth Disparity: The Role Of Law And The Legal System, Beverly Moran, Stephanie M. Wildman
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Article attempts to demonstrate that legal and racial disparities are taken into account in legal decisions and throughout the legal system, despite people's belief and hope that the law is color and wealth blind. Furthermore, this Article demonstrates that race has always affected U.S. law and the legal system. Finally, prominent examples of race-and-class-neutral law are not neutral at all, but include some inherent biases.

Private Attorneys General V. "War Profiteers": Applying The False Claims Act To Security Contractors In Iraq, Bryan Terry
Seattle University Law Review
In order to provide context for the Custer Battles court's opinion, Part II of this Note generally describes the FCA and the policies behind its qui tam provision, discusses policy rationales behind the use of private security contractors by the U.S. government, and highlights how security contractors like Custer Battles fit into that picture within the reality of present-day Iraq. Part III examines the reasoning of the Custer Battles court, and Part IV critiques that reasoning and the application of precedent in this case. Part V proposes an alternative to the court's reasoning which more closely aligns with the interests …
