Credit Risk Transfer Governance: The Good, The Bad, And The Savvy, Houman B. Shadab Jan 2012

Credit Risk Transfer Governance: The Good, The Bad, And The Savvy, Houman B. Shadab

Articles & Chapters

Goldman Sachs and American International Group on the eve of the 2008 financial crisis were bound together through a web of credit risk transfer (CRT) contracts in the form of credit default swaps (CDSs) and synthetic collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). Synthetic CDOs enabled certain hedge funds to profit from the ultimate bursting of the housing bubble due to the funds’ savvy in understanding CRT better than their counterparties. This Article constructs a novel theory of CRT that extends the insights of creditor governance theory to CRT transactions. By doing so, this Article establishes a framework for good CRT governance. CRT …

Litigation & Inequality: Federal Diversity Jurisdiction In Industrial America, 1870–1958, Edward A. Purcell Jr. Jan 1992

Litigation & Inequality: Federal Diversity Jurisdiction In Industrial America, 1870–1958, Edward A. Purcell Jr.

Books

Through the prism of litigation practice and tactics, Purcell explores the dynamic relationship between legal and social change. He studies changing litigation patterns in suits between individuals and national corporations over tort claims for personal injuries and contract claims for insurance benefits. Purcell refines the "progressive" claim that the federal courts favored business enterprise during this time, identifying specific manners and times in which the federal courts reached decisions both in favor of and against national corporations. He also identifies 1892-1908 as a critical period in the evolution of the twentieth century federal judicial system.


For Unifying Servitudes And Defeasible Fees: Property Law's Functional Equivalents, Gerald Korngold Jan 1988

For Unifying Servitudes And Defeasible Fees: Property Law's Functional Equivalents, Gerald Korngold

Articles & Chapters

While property scholars have argued persuasively for a unified law of servitudes and for a unified law of defeasible fees, Professor Korngold argues that further unification is necessary: the law should integrate servitudes and defeasible fees involving land use controls. Because these interests are functional equivalents, judicial results should not depend on the historical label attached to the interest. Courts should address the tension between freedom of contract and free alienability values that inhere in both interests. Professor Korngold focuses on significant issues that arise in both defeasible fees and servitudes contexts, including the forfeiture remedy, ownership in gross, permissible …

Post-Contractual Arbitrability After Nolde Brothers: A Problem Of Conceptual Clarity, Arthur S. Leonard Jan 1983

Post-Contractual Arbitrability After Nolde Brothers: A Problem Of Conceptual Clarity, Arthur S. Leonard

Articles & Chapters

In Nolde Brothers, Inc. v. Local No. 358, Bakery & Confectionery Workers Union,' the Supreme Court held that a labor-management grievance dispute which arose after the expiration of a collective bargaining agreement might, under certain circumstances, be compulsorily arbitrable even though no successor agreement providing for arbitration had been entered into by the parties.2 In so holding, however, the Supreme Court was imprecise in articulating the factors underlying its determination,3 leaving to the lower courts and the National Labor Relations Board (Board) the considerable task of adopting the broadly phrased Nolde rationale-a presumption of continuing arbitrability- to differing situations where …
