Twenty Years Of Undergraduate Libraries: Whence And Whither?, Mark Watson, Jody Bales Foote, Roland Person Jan 1996

Twenty Years Of Undergraduate Libraries: Whence And Whither?, Mark Watson, Jody Bales Foote, Roland Person

Articles

Undergraduate libraries as part of university library systems have existed since 1949, but there is little statistical data prior to 1971. This study examines statistics reported since that time, supplemented with electronic mail surveying, to show how such libraries have responded to the changing needs of an undergraduate population. The results show that change, and rapid response to external forces, are hallmarks of undergraduate libraries past and present.

Bad Faith Breach Of Contract By First-Party Insurers, Alan O. Sykes Jan 1996

Bad Faith Breach Of Contract By First-Party Insurers, Alan O. Sykes

Articles

Insurers may at times exploit the delay inherent in the civil litigation process to induce needy insureds to settle for less than the amount that the contract promises. The prospect of extracontractual remedies for such "bad faith" at the end of the litigation process can make these tactics unprofitable and thus serve a potentially valuable function. But the remedy may be worse than the problem, as the courts seem to find bad faith on the part of insurers who have genuine and reasonable disputes with their policyholders over the terms of the policy or over factual issues essential to the …


The Draft International Antitrust Code Proposed At Munich: Good Intentions Gone Awry, Daniel J. Gifford Jan 1996

The Draft International Antitrust Code Proposed At Munich: Good Intentions Gone Awry, Daniel J. Gifford

Articles

Because private exclusionary arrangements can potentially effectively neutralize the market-opening efforts undertaken by governments, they have long been the subject of international concern.1 Manifestations of this concern extend back to 1948 when delegates to the Havana Conference approved a set of provisions directed against cartels and restrictive business practices. Periodically, government officials and others have focused upon the question of whether restrictive agreements among private business firms may impede trade. As a host of international agreements have progressively eliminated or have placed limits on government-erected trade barriers, attention has increasingly focused upon privately-erected barriers, i.e., those resulting from cartel-like exclusionary …


Microsoft Corporation, The Justice Department, And Antitrust Theory, Daniel J. Gifford Jan 1996

Microsoft Corporation, The Justice Department, And Antitrust Theory, Daniel J. Gifford

Articles

Microsoft Corporation's jousting with the Justice Department's Antitrust Division over the last two years has been the subject of widespread media interest. The Division has required Microsoft to change its licensing practices; it has thwarted Microsoft's planned merger with Intuit. Furthermore, the Division has threatened to block Microsoft's introduction of its new Windows 95 operating system as a result of a dispute over the lawfulness of Microsoft's incorporation into that program of an icon helping users to sign on to Microsoft's new on-line service. The sparring between the Justice Department and Microsoft over these Department challenges to Microsoft's plans may …

A Call For A Unified Business Organization Law, John H. Matheson, Brent A. Olson Jan 1996

A Call For A Unified Business Organization Law, John H. Matheson, Brent A. Olson

Articles

The authors propose a wholesale reformation of business organization law. The current regime of business organization law reflects an attempt to blend the benefits of limited liability with conduit or flow-through taxation. The result has been a haphazard development of business forms, often created to satisfy shifting federal tax law guidelines. The authors trace this development, from the traditional corporation and partnership forms through limited partnerships and Subchapter S corporations to the recent organizational forms of limited liability companies and limited liability partnerships. The authors show how the search for the ideal organizational form has failed, leaving an unwieldy morass …

A Privatization Solution To The Legitimacy Of Prepetition Waivers Of The Automatic Stay, Edward S. Adams, James L. Baillie

Articles

Section I of this article reviews the historical notions of the automatic stay prior to and under the Bankruptcy Act of 1898 (the “Act”) as well as the legislative history of § 362 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978 (the “Code”). Section II focuses on the arguments for and against upholding the validity of agreements which waive the protections of the automatic stay. Specifically, this section analyzes recent court decisions in this area and attempts to discern differences between permissible and impermissible waivers. Section III reviews the enforcability of other prepetition agreements. In Section IV, we introduce our hypothesis, based …
