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 …

Priorities In Accounts: The Crazy Quilt Of Current Law And A Proposal For Reform, Dan T. Coenen

Vanderbilt Law Review

Moe Promisee has a right under a contract to receive monetary payments from Mae Promisor. Moe assigns his right first to Faye and then to Clay. Whom must Mae pay, Faye or Clay?

For more than a century, judges have struggled with successive assignments to different persons of the same contract right. These cases, which typically involve rights to monetary payments called "accounts," have generated subtleties of doctrine and disagreements among courts. Today, as a general rule, the Uniform Commercial Code controls these cases.' Ambiguities, however, lurk in the Code. Cryptic common-law doctrines also continue to govern many successive-assignment problems. …

Franklin V. Gwinnett County "Public Schools": The Supreme Court Implies A Damages Remedy For Title Ix Sex Discrimination, Susan L. Wright

Vanderbilt Law Review

Congress enacted Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX)' to address the widespread existence of sex discrimination in educational institutions.' Twenty years later, in Franklin v. Gwinnett County Public Schools, a unanimous Supreme Court put teeth into the statute by finding that Title IX relief includes compensatory damages. he Supreme Court's decision resolved a split of authority between the Third Circuit and the Seventh and Eleventh Circuits. The Court agreed with the Third Circuit, which had recently become the first court of appeals to find a right to compensatory relief under Title IX.

Congress had two main …

Modulation Of Cisplatin Sensitivity And Growth Rate Of An Ovarian Carcinoma Cell Line By Bombesin And Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha., Seiji Isonishi, Antti P. Jekunen, Doreen K. Hom, Alan Eastman, Peter S. Edelstein, Franz B. Thiebaut, Randolph D. Christen, Stephen B. Howell

Dartmouth Scholarship

A twofold change in the cisplatin (DDP) sensitivity of 2008 human ovarian carcinoma cells is sufficient to reduce tumor response in vivo. The DDP sensitivity of these cells can be enhanced by activation of the epidermal growth factor and protein kinase C signal transduction pathways. We report here that two endogenous growth factors, bombesin and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), enhanced DDP sensitivity by factors of 1.7 +/- 0.1 (SD)-fold and 1.8 +/- 0.1 (SD)-fold, respectively. Both agents also produced sensitization in an 11-fold DDP-resistant 2008 subline. Neither bombesin nor TNF alpha changed the accumulation of DDP, glutathione content, …

The Older Population In Massachusetts, 1980-1990, Gerontology Institute, University Of Massachusetts Boston

Gerontology Institute Publications

Massachusetts and the nation are aging! People 65 and older are growing in numbers more rapidly than other younger segments of the population, and the unprecedented growth of this group has created new demands on and new opportunities for every major sector of American life. But if we are to make constructive plans for an aging society, we must have sound information on the major changes in the make-up of the population.

This report shows how the older populations in Massachusetts and in the United States have changed in the decade between 1980 and 1990. It is designed to serve …

Rethinking Guild, Juries, And Jeopardy, George C. Thomas Iii, Barry S. Pollack

Michigan Law Review

We have attempted in this article to "begin over again and concentrate" by taking a fresh look at the interplay between guilt and jury verdicts. Somewhat to our surprise, we discovered that guilt is undefinable without reference to the larger society. We also discovered that our risk-of-error experiments implicated the principle of double jeopardy. When we began this thought experiment, we intended only to test the risk of error in various jury configurations and verdicts. We ended, however, by articulating a more fundamental principle: guilt is nothing more, and nothing less, than the judgment of society. Any verdict that accurately …

The Growing Disjunction Between Legal Education And The Legal Profession, Harry T. Edwards

Michigan Law Review

This article is my response to Professor Priest and all other legal academicians who disdain law teaching as an endeavor in pursuit of professional education. My view is that if law schools continue to stray from their principal mission of professional scholarship and training, the disjunction between legal education and the legal profession will grow and society will be the worse for it. My arguments are quite straightforward, and probably not wholly original. Nevertheless, they surely merit repetition.

Controlling The Competitor Plaintiff In Antitrust Litigation, William H. Page, Roger D. Blair

Michigan Law Review

In Misuse of the Antitrust Laws: The Competitor Plaintiff, Edward Snyder and Thomas Kauper survey a sample of private antitrust cases from the period 1973-1983 and review critically the recent economic literature on raising rivals' costs as an exclusionary practice.

Much in Snyder and Kauper's study is worthy of comment. They have given us a useful picture of private antitrust litigation during the period covered by the sample, one that may be more accurate than a reading of reported cases from that period would suggest. Moreover, their generally critical treatment of the literature on raising rivals' costs is clear …

James Porter, Adriane Yvette Baker

Savannah Biographies

In 1826, James Porter was born in Charleston, South Carolina, of free parents. At an early age, his parents dedicated him for a missionary. Because of an accident which left him crippled, he was unable to carry out this task. Therefore, he concentrated on receiving the best education available which consisted of ancient and modern languages. In addition to those studies, James also studied vocal and instrumental music under George 0. Robinson of Charleston.1 The remarkable talents Porter exhibited in music would eventually become the catalyst for his migration to Savannah, Georgia.
