Securities Law Fifth Circuit Symposium, Steve Thel Jan 1988

Securities Law Fifth Circuit Symposium, Steve Thel

Faculty Scholarship

The Fifth Circuit decided some important securities cases during the survey period and issued some interesting opinions. Although the court consistently claimed a conservative reliance on precedent and seldom acknowledged making new law, it interpreted some well-established doctrine in surprising ways. The past year's opinions in fraud cases provide guidance in the related areas of reliance, damages, and plaintiff's due diligence. The year also witnessed important developments in the law governing the relationship between brokerage firms and their clients. The most spectacular development in this area during the survey year was the October collapse in security prices. In light of …

Her Brother's Keeper: The Prosecutor's Responsibility When Defense Counsel Has A Potential Conflict Of Interest , Bruce A. Green

Faculty Scholarship

What are the responsibilities of a prosecutor when she learns in the course of preparing for trial that defense counsel has a potential conflict of interest? Must the prosecutor alert defense counsel and the trial judge to the problem? May she move to disqualify defense counsel? This Article explores the responsibilities that courts have begun to, and ought to, impose on prosecutors. In large part, the prosecutor's responsibilities are subordinate to those of defense counsel and the trial judge, who have the primary responsibility to ensure that the defendant's right to independent counsel is not unfairly abridged. Therefore, as background …

Delimitation Of The Continental Shelf In The Aegean Sea, Aurelia A. Georgopoulos Jan 1988

Delimitation Of The Continental Shelf In The Aegean Sea, Aurelia A. Georgopoulos

Fordham International Law Journal

This note argues that the continental shelf between Greece and Turkey should be delimited under general principles of international law. Part I discusses the present dispute and its historical underpinnings. Part II examines the relevant treaty and customary international law applicable to continental shelf delimitations. Part III analyzes the positions of the parties and proposes a solution under principles of customary international law. This Note concludes that the continental shelf should be delimited by drawing a median line between the two states giving half effect to Eastern Islands and then adjusting the line to avoid enclaving them.


Back To The Market: The Debt Problem In Legal Perspective, Karl M. Meessen Jan 1988

Back To The Market: The Debt Problem In Legal Perspective, Karl M. Meessen

Fordham International Law Journal

This article argues that the debt problem can be attributed to the failure on the part of those who operated the huge market of recycled petro-dollars in the late 70s and early 80s. The author then discusses how reinforcement of a decentralized decision-making system depends on three factors; transparency, market entry, and confining state regulation.

The European Community's Environmental Policy: A Case-Study In Federalism, Auke Haagsma

It will also examine the manner in which governmental functions in this area are distributed between the two levels and, thus, whether the characteristics of a federal structure can be discerned.

Section 1983: Absolute Immunity For Pretrial Police Testimony, Jack Kaufman

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note discusses the development of the Supreme Court's approach to section 1983 immunity for trial witnesses. Central to this discussion is an overview of the history of common-law immunities for government officials, the history and purpose of section 1983, and the history of the Supreme Court's section 1983 immunity decisions. The author discusses the current disagreement in the circuits over extending section 1983 immunity to pretrial police testimony. The author also analyzes various possible answers to the question of whether to extend witness immunity under section 1983 to specific pretrial proceedings by applying the current Supreme Court "functional categories" …

Freedom Of Services In The Eec, Ernst Steindorff Jan 1987

Freedom Of Services In The Eec, Ernst Steindorff

Fordham International Law Journal

In Part I, after discussing the international context, this Article outlines the EEC issues. Part II traces the early development of freedom of services and shows how there was reluctance to implement freedom of services. As will be shown in Part III, the European Court of Justice accorded direct effect to freedom of services so that this freedom can be invoked before state courts; it has preeminence over state rules that restrain freedom of services. Part IV discusses the other freedoms that contribute to freedom of services. The policy on coordination and approximation of laws, i.e. the policy on Community …

This Note concludes that the SEC must eliminate unnecessary barriers to participation by U.S. investors in global securities offerings and adopt a new approach that recognizes and …
