Is This The End Of Ftc Restitution And Disgorgement Under Section 13(B)?, Erik Quattro
Global Business Law Review
This note argues that the Seventh Circuit’s deviation from years of precedent in FTC v. Credit Bureau is an improper interpretation of Supreme Court precedent. For decades, Section 13(b) has allowed the Federal Trade Commission to be able to pursue equitable monetary orders in the form of restitution and disgorgement as ancillary relief to permanent injunctions. The Seventh Circuit put an abrupt end to these powers relying on Supreme Court precedent that has never been used in this manner. If this circuit split continues to exist, it will create a great disparity in the Federal Trade Commission’s ability to bring …

Workplace Privacy In The Age Of Social Media, Tess Traylor-Notaro
Global Business Law Review
This note addresses the lack of adequate protections in Ohio for social media privacy laws in the workplace and compares proposed legislation in Ohio to legislation that has passed in other states.

Privatization Of Water Desalination: The Need To Balance Governmental And Corporate Control In California, Melissa Lee
Global Business Law Review
This note argues that California has to create regulations that prevent complete privatization of desalination facilities and protect the public's right to the water. This note provides a model that should be adopted by California in order to safeguard the water and community. There must be legislations and regulations to answer important issues of water rights and distribution of the desalinated water. Israel has utilized and the technology of desalination for half a century and has laws pertaining to water and privatization that can provide insight into what should be adopted by California.

Warning: This Note does not deal with a particularly new nor particularly interesting subject.

Should we continue down the road of survival …
