Article 2b As Legal Software For Electronic Contracting-Operating System Or Trojan Horse?, A. Michael Froomkin

Articles

The proposed draft of Article 2B of the Uniform Commercial Code can be thought of as akin to a complex computer software suite which seeks to dominate a market by offering all things to all people. The author suggests, however, that Article 2B's electronic contracting rules interoperate poorly with existing digital signature laws, and with some forms of electronic commerce. The author also questions whether Article 2B is the proper means to enact controversial rules that ordinarily would make consumers liable for fraudulent uses of their digital signatures by third parties. After considering Article 2B's potential interaction with existing digital …

Infrastructure Capital And Private Sector Productivity: A Dynamic Analysis, Farrokh Nourzad

Economics Faculty Research and Publications

This paper examines the relationship between public capital and private sector productivity in the context of a dynamic framework that distinguishes long-run equilibrium relations from short-run disequilibrium values. Using annual data covering the 1948-1987 period we find that there is a stable long-run relationship among private sector productivity, private inputs of capital and labor, and core infrastructure capital. Public capital exerts a positive influence on private sector productivity along this path, although the effect is statistically significant only at low levels of confidence. On the other hand, there appears to be no discernible effect on productivity by core infrastructure capital …

Tax Expenditure Analysis And Constitutional Decisions , Linda Sugin

Faculty Scholarship

This article looks at the significance of the similarities and differences between tax benefits and direct spending for purposes of the equal protection and establishment clauses, with a particular focus on the charitable contribution deduction. Because economic equivalence is not critical under these constitutional provisions, tax expenditure analysis is not relevant to the legal analysis. While this article deals only briefly with numerous provisions of the Code and analyzes only two constitutional provisions, it provides a model for considering the constitutionality of any tax provision.

On Dorfman’S ‘Death And The Maiden’, David Luban

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This Essay was originally prepared for a panel on transitional justice entitled "Justice, Amnesty, and Truth-Telling: Options for Societies in Transition," American Philosophical Association, Eastern Division, convention (Atlanta, Dec. 1996).

Can a society be repaired unless its killers, rapists, and torturers are named and exposed? Can it be repaired if its killers, rapists, and torturers are named and exposed? That is the overarching question of transitional justice; it may even be the overarching question of life in human society. Just as no relationship can survive in the complete absence of truth, no relationship can survive in the complete absence of …

Toward A Theory Of Reciprocal Responsibility Between Clients And Lawyers: A Comment On David Wilkins’ Do Clients Have Ethical Obligations To Lawyers? Some Lessons From The Diversity Wars, Carrie Menkel-Meadow

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

On my plane flight to attend the American Association of Law Schools meeting at which Professor David Wilkins presented his paper, Do Clients Have Ethical Obligations to Lawyers? Some Lessons From the Diversity Wars, the pilot requested passengers to "assist the flight attendants in their principal duty of providing safety to all passengers," following a recent incident with mid-flight turbulence in which one person died and several were injured. The pilot reminded us that "service" was only a secondary function of the flight attendants, with their principal duty being to ensure that all of us traveled and arrived safely, …

Unaccompanied Children In I.N.S. Detention, Rosa Ehrenreich Brooks

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

It is important to note that children who end up in INS detention centers in the United States are not criminal detainees, but rather, administrative detainees. That is, they are not being held because they are accused or convicted of crimes. They are being held for two reasons only. First, the INS holds them in order to ensure their presence at immigration proceedings. They fear that if they let a child out, into foster care for instance, that child might not appear at any subsequent hearings or proceedings. Second, the government is legally required to look after these children in …
