Incentivizing The Protection Of Personally Identifying Consumer Data After The Home Depot Breach, Ryan F. Manion
Incentivizing The Protection Of Personally Identifying Consumer Data After The Home Depot Breach, Ryan F. Manion
Indiana Law Journal
The breach of payment card systems at the Home Depot in 2014 resulted in the theft of a wealth of information. This Note will examine the facts and legal consequences of the Home Depot breach under three separate frameworks. First, this Note will examine the Home Depot’s responsibilities arising under existing data breach notification statutes. Second, this Note examines the Home Depot’s potential liability if the recent bill introduced by Senator Leahy of Vermont proposing a federal data breach notification framework becomes law; ultimately, however, this Note finds that state notification statutes fail to adequately protect consumers, and Senator Leahy’s …

The Global Architecture Of Financial Regulatory Taxes, Carlo Garbarino, Giulio Allevato
The Global Architecture Of Financial Regulatory Taxes, Carlo Garbarino, Giulio Allevato
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Article endeavors to broaden the analysis of available policy tools to address the problems created by financial crises and discusses how, in addition to direct regulation, certain tax measures having a regulatory nature may operate to address the so-called “negative externalities” often associated with those crises. There is a negative externality when an economic agent making a decision does not pay the full cost of the decision’s consequences. In such cases, the cost to society as a whole is greater than the cost borne by the individuals creating the economic impact. In practice, negative externalities result in market inefficiencies …
The Failure Of Anti-Money Laundering Regulation: Where Is The Cost-Benefit Analysis?, Lanier Saperstein, Geoffrey Sant, Michelle Ng
The Failure Of Anti-Money Laundering Regulation: Where Is The Cost-Benefit Analysis?, Lanier Saperstein, Geoffrey Sant, Michelle Ng
Notre Dame Law Review Reflection
Regulators have been punishing the banks not because of any actual money laundering, but rather because the banks did not meet the regulators’ own subjective vision of the ideal anti–money laundering or counter–terrorist financing program. However, no one has attempted to show that the supposedly ideal vision of an anti–money laundering or counter–terrorist financing program would actually be more effective than the programs the banks have in place.
Even if the regulators’ ideal vision of an anti–money laundering and counter–terrorist financing program would in fact be more effective than what exists now, it is unclear if the benefits of such …
The New Road To Serfdom: The Curse Of Bigness And The Failure Of Antitrust, Carl T. Bogus
The New Road To Serfdom: The Curse Of Bigness And The Failure Of Antitrust, Carl T. Bogus
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Article argues for a paradigm shift in modern antitrust policy. Rather than being concerned exclusively with consumer welfare, antitrust law should also be concerned with consolidated corporate power. Regulators and courts should consider the social and political, as well as the economic, consequences of corporate mergers. The vision that antitrust must be a key tool for limiting consolidated corporate power has a venerable legacy, extending back to the origins of antitrust law in early seventeenth century England, running throughout American history, and influencing the enactment of U.S. antitrust laws. However, the Chicago School’s view that antitrust law should be …
The Evolution Of Giving: Considerations For Regulation Of Cryptocurrency Donation Deductions, Ashley Pittman
The Evolution Of Giving: Considerations For Regulation Of Cryptocurrency Donation Deductions, Ashley Pittman
Duke Law & Technology Review
This Issue Brief looks at the rapidly growing area of cryptocurrency donations to nonprofit organizations. Given the recent IRS guidance issued on taxation of Bitcoin, specifically its decision to treat cryptocurrencies as property, questions now arise as to how charitable contributions of the coins will be valued for tax deductions. Though Bitcoin resembles most other capital gain property, its volatility, general decline in value, anonymity, and potential for abuse require specific guidance on valuation and substantiation so as to handle its unique nature and prevent larger deductions for charitable contributions than those to which taxpayers are entitled.
Too Much Collateral Damage; Fatca: The Well-Intentioned, Yet Misguided And Unconstitutional, Tax Law, Zac Delap
Too Much Collateral Damage; Fatca: The Well-Intentioned, Yet Misguided And Unconstitutional, Tax Law, Zac Delap
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
This paper will examine FATCA in five parts: beginning with an introduction in Part I, Part II will provide the pertinent background that gave rise to the law, Part III will present the essential elements of FATCA, Part IV will offer pertinent liberty and constitutional arguments against FATCA, and Part V will analyze each argument's possibility of succeeding.
Of More Than Usual Interest: The Taxing Problem Of Debt Principal, Charlene D. Luke
Of More Than Usual Interest: The Taxing Problem Of Debt Principal, Charlene D. Luke
Seattle University Law Review
Leverage is an essential but often troubling component of the U.S. market. The financial crisis highlighted the risks and complexity of a leverage web that includes flesh-and-blood people from all walks of life and paper people from all corners of the business and investment world. In the tax area, the potentially problematic incentive effects of interest deductibility have long engaged a wide array of tax commentators and policymakers. While interest deductibility rightly receives widespread scrutiny, a more comprehensive approach to leverage is needed. This Article focuses on the surprisingly complicated tax treatment of cash (and cash equivalent) borrowings. This Article …
In Praise Of Ex Ante Regulation, Brian Galle
In Praise Of Ex Ante Regulation, Brian Galle
Vanderbilt Law Review
The plaintiffs' daughter was four years old when they brought her in to the local medical clinic. Clinic staff gave the girl a sedative to keep her calm while they examined her, but they miscalculated the dose, and she later died.' Tort liability, or the specter of it, is supposed to discourage these kinds of preventable tragedies. The clinic's owner, fearing a potential crippling award to bereaved families, should have trained his staff more carefully. As it happens, the owner instead had carefully scooped all the assets out of the firm. When the girl's parents won a $34.6 million award …
Felonious, Erroneous, It’S All Odious: A Story Of Debt Gone Wrong, Virginia M. Brown
Felonious, Erroneous, It’S All Odious: A Story Of Debt Gone Wrong, Virginia M. Brown
Fordham Law Review
Iraq is paying off debt from Saddam Hussein’s rule. South Africa is paying off debt obligations incurred under apartheid rule. Argentina is renegotiating debts that can be traced back to a de facto military-civilian regime that was ousted in 1976. There are numerous examples in which sovereigns are paying off debts that previous governing regimes incurred while oppressing their citizens. Should sovereigns be obligated to pay these debts? Were the debts really incurred by the sovereign or were they incurred by the governing regime in question? What if the lender knew in advance what the proceeds would be used for? …

(Excerpt)
With the goals of assessing the state of the research on the CRA and drawing some insights into what reforms this research suggests, this Article proceeds as follows. Part I provides an overview of the CRA's structure and reach. Part II provides an overview of the impact of the financial crisis on low- and moderate-income communities, particularly communities of color. Part III assesses the current state of the research, with particular emphasis on the NBER report described above. Part IV identifies the disconnect between the CRA's reach and its goals given the current state of banking and makes suggestions …
Unfair Practices And Practicing Attorneys: Should The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Apply To Communications Between Debt Collectors And Debtors' Attorneys?, Yosefa A. Englard
Unfair Practices And Practicing Attorneys: Should The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Apply To Communications Between Debt Collectors And Debtors' Attorneys?, Yosefa A. Englard
St. John's Law Review
(Excerpt)
This Note proceeds in three parts. Part I discusses the history of the Act and Congress's intent behind its enactment. Part I also analyzes some of the Act's provisions relating to debt collectors. Part II examines in detail the three current approaches taken by the circuit courts for determining the applicability of the Act to communications between debt collectors and debtors' attorneys. Part III argues that none of the current approaches appropriately resolves the issue. Additionally, Part III proposes a simple two-step inquiry for courts to employ when attempting to resolve whether communications toward a debtor's attorney are actionable …

Application Of The Federal Mail And Wire Fraud Statutes To Criminal Liability For Stock Market Insider Trading And Tipping, William K.S. Wang
Application Of The Federal Mail And Wire Fraud Statutes To Criminal Liability For Stock Market Insider Trading And Tipping, William K.S. Wang
University of Miami Law Review
SEC Rule 10b-5 covers a great deal of stock market insider trading and tipping, but certainly not all. For insider trading defendants, some elements of criminal liability may be different and possibly easier to satisfy under mail/wire fraud than under SEC Rule 10b-5 (e.g., materiality, and the requirements for tipper and tippee liability recently tightened for Rule 10b-5 by the Second Circuit). Generally, courts have not addressed these possible differences.
With insider trading and tipping, the victim of mail/wire fraud could be either the information-owner or the party on the other side of the transaction. The courts have not examined …

Local Government Finance As Integrated System: The Uneasy Case For Using Special Districts In Real Estate Finance (A Response To Odinet’S Super-Liens To The Rescue? A Case Against Special Districts In Real Estate Finance), Darien Shanske
Washington and Lee Law Review Online
Local governments have long used special financing districts to build infrastructure. If a local project, say building a pocket park, is likely to increase the values of properties very close to the park, then why should those properties not pay for the park in the first place? Though efficient and fair in many cases, the use of these districts can also be problematic. For instance, it seems likely that wealthier residents, with higher property values to leverage, are especially likely to use these districts effectively. It has also been the case that developers have used these districts speculatively, which had …
Confounded Collectors, Confused Consumers: Time To Close The Circuit Split On Whether The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Requires A Consumer To Dispute A Debt In Writing, Daniel O'Connell
Catholic University Law Review
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) provides that a debt collector must notify a consumer that it will assume a debt to be valid unless the consumer challenges the debt within thirty days. The FDCPA does not explicitly require the consumer to challenge the debt in writing. The Third Circuit requires written disputes, while the Second, Fourth, and Ninth Circuits permit oral disputes. This Comment discusses the reasoning and conclusions at play in this circuit split. The Comment argues that while both sides of the debate present meritorious arguments, permitting oral disputes for purposes of rebutting the debt collector’s …

First, this Paper will cover the features, history, and policy purposes behind the mortgage. Second, the Paper will focus on legal mechanics and drafting considerations of Participation Mortgages, so they may later be securitized. Finally, the Paper will explore the possibility and legality of creating Participation Mortgaged Backed Securities to be sold in the secondary market.
Transferring Nonnegotiable Mortgage Notes, Dale A. Whitman
Transferring Nonnegotiable Mortgage Notes, Dale A. Whitman
Florida A & M University Law Review
This article reviews what we know about transferring ownership and the right of enforcement of nonnegotiable notes. The focus will be on notes secured by mortgages, since this is likely the context in which most modern nonnegotiable notes are created. There has been a vast amount of litigation about the transfer of negotiable mortgage notes in the past half decade, greatly expanding our understanding, but there has been little development involving nonnegotiable notes. Hence, it is helpful to compare negotiable and nonnegotiable notes, with particular emphasis on how each is transferred. Perhaps ironically, this means that the bulk of this …
The Systematic Risk Of Private Funds After The Dodd-Frank Act, Wulf A. Kaal
The Systematic Risk Of Private Funds After The Dodd-Frank Act, Wulf A. Kaal
Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review
The Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) was created under the Dodd-Frank Act with the primary mandate of guarding against systemic risk and correcting perceived regulatory weaknesses that may have contributed to the financial crisis of 2008-2009. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) collects data pertaining to private fund advisers in order to facilitate FSOC’s assessment of non-bank financial institutions’ potential systemic risks. Evidence that the SEC’s data collection encounters accuracy and consistency problems might hamper FSOC’s ability to evaluate the systemic risk of private fund advisers. The author shows that while the SEC’s data plays a crucial role in all …
Private Equity Investments In Microfinance In India, Hugh Manahan
Private Equity Investments In Microfinance In India, Hugh Manahan
Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review
A trail connects a skyscraper in Manhattan’s Financial District to a tiny food stand in a village in the southeast Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Initially wild and overgrown, the trail now resembles a well-developed road, cleared and shaped. The trail does not connect customers to call centers or raw materials to laborers; the path connects lenders seeking abnormal returns on their investments to borrowers living in poverty. This is the path of private equity investments in microfinance. Microfinance is a powerful financial innovation that has changed personal finance in many parts of the world. While microfinance began as non-profit …
On Territoriality And International Investment Law: Applying China's Investment Treaties To Hong Kong And Macao, Odysseas G. Repousis
On Territoriality And International Investment Law: Applying China's Investment Treaties To Hong Kong And Macao, Odysseas G. Repousis
Michigan Journal of International Law
To date, investor-state tribunals have been preoccupied with a range of issues revolving around the territorial application (territoriality) of international investment agreements (IIAs). The importance, as well as the various forms such issues take, has recently been highlighted in the decision of the Singapore High Court (SGHC) in Laos v. Sanum. In this case, the SGHC was asked by Laos to set aside an earlier arbitral award (in Sanum v. Laos), filed by a Macanese legal entity and rendered under the China-Laos bilateral investment treaty (BIT). In approaching the matter, the SGHC set aside the award on the grounds that …
Trust And Control: The Value Effect Of Venture Capital Term Sheet Provisions As Risk Allocation Tools, Jason M. Gordon, David Orozco
Trust And Control: The Value Effect Of Venture Capital Term Sheet Provisions As Risk Allocation Tools, Jason M. Gordon, David Orozco
Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review
The parties to a venture funding agreement are in a state of coopetition. The parties account for perceived risk in the entrepreneur-investor relationship through varying levels of control demanded from and trust afforded to the other party. The level of risk perceived by each party may differ along individual aspects of the prospective equity deal. The provisions of the term sheet delineate the subjective risk perceptions of each party to the transaction by allocating control or trusting a party with decision-making rights. When negotiating term sheet provisions, a party should seek to understand and recognize the risk perceived by the …
A Framework For A Formal Sovereign Debt Restructuring Mechanism: The Kiss Principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid) And Other Guiding Principles, Charles W. Mooney Jr.
A Framework For A Formal Sovereign Debt Restructuring Mechanism: The Kiss Principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid) And Other Guiding Principles, Charles W. Mooney Jr.
Michigan Journal of International Law
This paper explores the feasibility of a formal legal regime for the restructuring of sovereign state debt and outlines a framework for such a mechanism. More than a decade ago, senior officials at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) proposed the creation of a formal sovereign debt restructuring mechanism (SDRM). The proposal received support, but was eventually abandoned. One factor that contributed to its demise was the unwillingness of IMF members to submit to a tribunal that would encroach on a state’s sovereignty. Another determinative factor was the ultimate opposition of the United States. Likely related to that opposition, and perhaps …

Periodic Reporting In A Continuous World: The Correlating Evolution Of Technology And Financial Reporting, Daniel C. Rowe
Periodic Reporting In A Continuous World: The Correlating Evolution Of Technology And Financial Reporting, Daniel C. Rowe
Duke Law & Technology Review
The evolution of technology has drastically altered what it means to be a reporting company in the eyes of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Technological development has also played a large role in the shifting trend from periodic reporting to continuous reporting, as is particularly apparent in the evolution of the Form 8-K. It is true that the increasingly technological world of continuous reporting does not come without disadvantages. This issue brief, however, argues that despite the increased risks and challenges of continuous reporting, its net effect on disclosure, and the investing community generally, is positive. With that benefit in …
Securities Laws Implications For Savings Associations Acting As Trustees For Ira's And Keoghs
Securities Laws Implications For Savings Associations Acting As Trustees For Ira's And Keoghs
Akron Law Review
This article will focus on the major problem area which has resulted from the above legislation. That problem is whether or not a savings association must register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1931 or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as a consequence of acting as trustee for an IRA or Keogh plan.
New Investment Powers For Ohio Savings Associations
New Investment Powers For Ohio Savings Associations
Akron Law Review
The scope of the Ohio statute is severely limited and complicated by federal laws and regulations concerning liquidity requirements, bank holding companies, and antitrust restrictions. The remainder of this article will focus on these limitations and other problems encountered by savings associations in the creation and operation of a bank for savings associations in Ohio. Specifically, part II discusses who may form a bank for savings associations in Ohio and with whom the bank can transact business. Part III explains the application of the Bank Holding Company Act as a limitation on investments, and how savings associations can avoid application …
Tie-In Statutes And Parity Regulations And Their Constitutionality
Tie-In Statutes And Parity Regulations And Their Constitutionality
Akron Law Review
The first of the student articles on savings associations will examine various types of tie-in statutes and parity regulations which states have enacted to give their local savings associations the same powers as their federal counterparts. A framework for predicting the constitutional integrity of such statutes and regulations will then be established by reviewing United States Supreme Court analyses of federal statutes which, much like state parity statutes, delegate legislative power to administrative agencies. By using Ohio case law on delegation of authority, Ohio's statute which grants rule-making power to the Superintendent of Building and Loan Associations will then be …
