Standardization Of Standard-Form Contracts: Competition And Contract Implications,
2010
Fordham University School of Law
Standardization Of Standard-Form Contracts: Competition And Contract Implications, Mark R. Patterson
Faculty Scholarship
Standard-form contracts are a common feature of commercial relationships because they offer the advantage of lower transaction costs. This advantage of standard contracts is increased when there is a second layer of standardization under which multiple firms agree on a standard contract. Trade associations and similar entities often effect standardization of this kind through collective agreement on a standard contract, sometimes under the aegis of state actors. Multifirm contract standardization can provide not only the usual transaction-cost advantages of standard-form contracts, but also increased competition among firms, because a standard contract makes comparison among firms’ offerings easier. But standardization among …

Credit For Motherhood, Melissa Jacoby
Melissa B. Jacoby
This essay builds on prior work exploring the impact of consumer lenders who sell credit products for assisted reproduction and adoption. After reviewing some basic attributes of the parenthood lending market, the essay discusses how not-for-profit lenders promote traditional conceptions of motherhood and the division of carework in ways that credit discrimination laws were not designed to address. The essay also articulates some incentives of for-profit lenders to sell motherhood and potential implications for women who are ambivalent about becoming parents.

The People's Agents And The Battle To Protect The American Public, Rena Steinzor, Sidney Shapiro
Rena I. Steinzor
Reasonable people disagree about the reach of the federal government, but there is near-universal consensus that it should protect us from such dangers as bacteria-infested food, harmful drugs, toxic pollution, crumbling bridges, and unsafe toys. And yet, the agencies that shoulder these responsibilities are in shambles; if they continue to decline, lives will be lost and natural resources will be squandered. In this timely book, Rena Steinzor and Sidney Shapiro take a hard look at the tangled web of problems that have led to this dire state of affairs.
It turns out that the agencies are not primarily to blame …
Managing Medical Bills On The Brink Of Bankruptcy,

Managing Medical Bills On The Brink Of Bankruptcy, Melissa B. Jacoby, Mirya Holman
Melissa B. Jacoby
This paper presents original empirical evidence on financial interactions between medical providers and their patients who go bankrupt. We use a nationally representative sample of people who filed for bankruptcy in 2007 to compare two popular but hotly contested methods of measuring medical burden. By applying both methods to the same filers, we find that nearly four out of five respondents had some financial obligation for medical care not covered by insurance in the two years prior to filing as measured by the survey method. The court record method paints a different picture, with only half of the cases containing …

Los anteproyectos de un Código de Consumo para el Perú importan normativas de protección al consumidor de Europa y Sudamérica sin considerar que el Derecho Civil es el conjunto normativo, doctrinario y jurisprudencial más adecuado para proteger al consumidor.
Unbranding, Confusion & Deception,

Unbranding, Confusion & Deception, Aaron K. Perzanowski
Aaron K. Perzanowski
This Article addresses the phenomenon of unbranding. Unbranding occurs when a firm chooses to discontinue its use of a brand that has developed negative associations among consumers in favor of a new brand, often in hopes of escaping the consequences of inferior products or illegal activity. Companies like AIG, Blackwater, Philip Morris, and WorldComm have all employed this strategy in recent years. Unbranding represents a striking departure from branding orthodoxy, which stresses the maintenance of brand equity through the gradual evolution of a brand. After examining the factors that prompt firms to take the radical step of eliminating an established …

Prólogo Al Libro “Estudios Sobre Responsabilidad Contractual” De Fernando Pantaleón Prieto, Rómulo Morales
Rómulo Martín Morales Hervias
El prólogo que se publica es la versión completa y no la mutilada intencionalmente por quien no admite la discrepancia en temas jurídicos. El libro que se comenta es un buen ejemplo de un inevitable malabarismo doctrinario que consiste en intentar interpretar un código del siglo XIX mediante las doctrinas post modernas del Derecho Civil. Ello es una prueba irrefutable que lo más importante no es tanto arribar al sentido literal de la norma jurídica sino lograr encontrar el sentido de una interpretación actualizada y bien fundamentada.

En el contrato de consumo, el empresario ejerce las libertades de celebrar el contrato y de estipulación mientras que el consumidor solo ejerce la libertad de celebrar el contrato. El Código peruano de Protección y Defensa del Consumidor no lo define adecuadamente.

Multi-Level Marketing And Its Brethren: The Legal And Regulatory Environment In The Down Economy, Adam Epstein
Adam Epstein
This article explores the legal and regulatory environment of multi-level marketing companies also known as MLM. Legal research is lacking in this area of business law though the regulatory environment involves a combination of federal and state laws including administrative agencies such as the FTC and SEC. In the current down economy, criminal enterprises such as Ponzi schemes have been exposed. MLMs are often compared to Ponzi and pyramid schemes and do share similarities. The article offers that personal responsibility is vital when determining whether to join any MLM in light of the volume of resources available on the internet.
