A Pragmatic Model Of Law, Daniel C.K. Chow

Washington Law Review

While all of us are pragmatic in an informal or colloquial sense in many instances in daily life, pragmatism as applied to law has a deeper, jurisprudential sense The author suggests that modern legal pragmatism presents a model of law that avoids the serious philosophical errors of the traditional model of law, which is based upon assumptions that are untenable in light of fundamental developments in twentieth century thought. The traditional model justifies law by grounding law in eternal, immutable and transcendental foundations. All modern legal pragmatists reject the notion that transcendental foundations sustain law. Modern legal pragmatism arose in …

In-House Counsel's Wrongful Discharge Action Under The Public Policy Exception And Retaliatory Discharge Doctrine, Raymis H.C. Kim

Washington Law Review

Most courts hold that in-house counsel have no cause of action under public policy or retaliatory discharge exceptions to the at-will employment rule. This is true even when they are discharged in contravention of a clearly mandated public policy. These courts have rationalized that such recognition would be contrary to the at-will nature of attorney-client employment and would have an adverse effect on the attorney-client relationship. This Comment proposes that courts should extend the public policy exception and retaliatory discharge doctrine to in-house counsel to protect the public from illegal corporate acts and provide relief to in-house counsel.

Part III recounts the evolution of contract and tort theories of liability from traditional to modern bank practices. Part IV analyzes the new comparative negligence provisions. Part V investigates the standards of ordinary care. Part VI evaluates the respective duties of the banks and their customers in light of the provisions that reflect the banking industry's transformation from the Paper Age to the …

Strange Visions In A Strange World: A Reply To Professors Bradley And Rosenzweig, Lynn M. Lopucki

Michigan Law Review

Much about chapter 11 is in need of improvement. But, as is so often the case, the resonant themes are not the right ones. All three legs of Bradley and Rosenzweig's argument for repeal are seriously flawed. The heart of their empirical argument is their claim to have shown that financially stronger companies reorganizing under chapter 11 have been paying less to both their creditors and their shareholders than did weaker companies reorganizing under prior law. In Part I below, I present several more plausible explanations for the stock and bond price phenomena they observed. In all likelihood, their data …

An Administrative Battle Of The Forms: The Eeoc's Intake Questionnaire And Charge Of Discrimination, Laurie M. Stegman

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues that the EEOC's interpretation of Title VII as reflected in its regulations is consistent with underlying statutory intent and strikes an appropriate balance between the needs of employers and employees. Therefore, Congress should amend section 706(b) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to provide that a charge must be verified prior to the commencement of an EEOC investigation but not necessarily within the statutory filing period. Part I examines the legislative history of Title VII and its integrated procedures for obtaining administrative and judicial relief. Part II critiques the various ways in which …

A Computer Program For The Extraction Of Bipolar Transistor Spice Models, Larry Duane Delaney

Theses

Each year semiconductor manufacturers spend millions of dollars in the development of new products. It can be very costly to create on silicon a newly developed circuit, especially if it is not very manufacturable or poorly designed. To eliminate risk it is of utmost importance that circuit simulation be done correctly in the early stages of development. Simulation can only be as good as the model being used. Almost all designers whether digital, analogue, or mixed mode use SPICE to simulate their circuits. SPICE accuracy is inherently dependent on the discrete element models being used, i.e. transistors, diodes, mosfets. Development …

Hypnotic Memories And Civil Sexual Abuse Trials, Jacqueline Kanovitz

Vanderbilt Law Review

In the next few paragraphs, the reader will eavesdrop on a psycho- therapy session. During this session, the therapist uses hypnosis, a common technique in clinical practice today. In the past, the legal system has paid little attention to the memory retrieval techniques used in psychotherapy because statutes of limitations have prevented patients from using memories of childhood wrongs uncovered in adult psycho-therapies to bring suit. However, recent changes will force the legal system to examine whether the memory restoring techniques used in psychotherapy can produce memory that is trustworthy enough for the legal system to accept. What follows is …

A Critical Look At Corporate Governance, Lawrence E. Mitchell

Vanderbilt Law Review

The internal law of corporations is built upon the problem of competition-not competition with the world outside the corporate entity, which, according to liberal economic theory, is essential to the increase of wealth and well-being in society, but competition among the various groups of individuals that animate the corporation. The problem is (to extend the implicit metaphor) as if a human being's internal organs were constantly battling to capture all of the body's energy, rather than working together to contribute to the well-being of the whole. Like the human body, the corporation's "energy" (its assets) is, at any given point …

The Gains From Faith In An Unfaithful Agent: Settlement Conflicts Between Defendants And Liability Insurers, Michael J. Meurer

Faculty Scholarship

A pervasive problem in the settlement of liability litigation arises because liability insurers bundle their promise to indemnify the insured with a promise to represent the insured in settlement and litigation [see, e.g., Beckwith Machinery Co. v. Travelers Indemnity Co., 638 F.Supp. 1179 (W.D. Pa. 1986)]. Standard policies not only require the insurer to pay for legal representation but, more importantly, give the insurer the privilege of controlling the litigation and settlement process. The problem is how to resolve the conflict of interest between the insurer and the insured that may arise during settlement negotiations. This conflict is manifest when …

Time Complexity Of A Path-Formulated Optimal Routing Algorithm, John K. Antonio, Wei K. Tsai, G. M. Huang

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

A detailed analysis of convergence rate is presented for an iterative path formulated optimal routing algorithm. The primary objective is to quantify, analytically, how the convergence rate changes as the number of nodes in the underlying graph increases. The analysis is motivated by a particular path formulated gradient projection algorithm that has demonstrated excellent convergence rate properties through extensive numerical studies. In particular, the empirical data suggests that the number of iterations required for convergence to within a small fraction of the optimal cost is relatively independent of the number of nodes. Deriving a correspondingly tight analytical bound for the …
