Misconstruing Whistleblower Immunity Under The Defend Trade Secrets Act, Peter S. Menell
Misconstruing Whistleblower Immunity Under The Defend Trade Secrets Act, Peter S. Menell
Peter Menell
In crafting the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (DTSA), Congress went beyond the federalization of state trade secret protection to tackle a broader social justice problem: the misuse of nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) to discourage reporting of illegal activity in a variety of areas. The past few decades have witnessed devastating government contracting abuses, regulatory violations, and deceptive financial schemes that have hurt the public and cost taxpayers and investors billions of dollars. Congress recognized that immunizing whistleblowers from the cost and risk of trade secret liability for providing information to the Government could spur law enforcement. But could this …
The Law Of Society: Governance Through Contract, Peter Zumbansen
The Law Of Society: Governance Through Contract, Peter Zumbansen
Peer Zumbansen
This paper focuses on contract law as a central field in contemporary regulatory practice. In recent years, "governance by contract" has emerged as the central concept in the context of privatization, domestic and transnational commercial relations, and law-and-development projects. Meanwhile, as a result of the neo-formalist attack on contract law, "governance of contract" through contract adjudication, consumer protection law, and judicial intervention into private law relations has come under severe pressure. Building on early historical critique of the formalist foundations of an allegedly private law of the market, the paper assesses the current justifications for contractual governance and posits that …
Engines By Ge, Body By Houdini: State Secrets As A Procedural Restraint To The Resolution Of Disputes, Les Schiefelbein
Engines By Ge, Body By Houdini: State Secrets As A Procedural Restraint To The Resolution Of Disputes, Les Schiefelbein
Les Schiefelbein
Virtually every national government has a state secrets doctrine. The doctrine is best defined as “any information that, if disclosed publicly, would be reasonably likely to cause significant harm to the national defense or foreign relations of a government.”
Let me give state secrets some practical context and review how it is applied in the United Kingdom, the United States and France.
The best aviation description of my comments on state secrets is “Engines By GE, Body By Houdini.” The illusionist reference is an aviation descriptor of stealth airplanes whose invisibility to radar detection is like the state secret doctrine …
Public Actors In Private Markets: Toward A Developmental Finance State, Robert Hockett, Saule Omarova
Public Actors In Private Markets: Toward A Developmental Finance State, Robert Hockett, Saule Omarova
Saule T. Omarova
The recent financial crisis brought into sharp relief fundamental questions about the social function and purpose of the financial system, including its relation to the “real” economy. This Article argues that, to answer these questions, we must recapture a distinctively American view of the proper relations among state, financial market, and development. This programmatic vision – captured in what we call a “developmental finance state” – is based on three key propositions: (1) that economic and social development is not an “end-state” but a continuing national policy priority; (2) that the modalities of finance are the most potent means of …

Jobsohio: Don’T Let Progress Stand In The Way Of Progress, Patrick Martin
Jobsohio: Don’T Let Progress Stand In The Way Of Progress, Patrick Martin
Patrick Martin
In February of 2011, Governor of Ohio John Kasich signed legislation that created JobsOhio. This has been a controversial program based on the method that it was implemented and some of the rules that govern the program.it. In November of 2013, ProgressOhio, a citizens advocacy group, challenged the constitutionality of the program but the suit was dismissed by the Ohio Supreme Court for lack of standing by the plaintiffs. There has been no court decision that adjudicates the program on the merits, only on the jurisdictional standing of a party to a suit that challenged the legislation. To date, only …

La Interpretación de los Contratos públicos y privados desde el constitucionalismo moderno. ¿Cómo hace el empleador o la ( parte redactora del contrato) para no generar pruebas incriminatorias de los vicios del consentimiento cuando obliga al trabajador , o, a la (parte adherente) a leer o firmar el contrato? ¿Se puede despedir a un trabajador sin indemnizar los perjuicios, y desconociendo los derechos de la tercera edad, de la madre cabeza de hogar, o de los derechos de las personas desaventajadas o incapacitadas?¿ Qué dice el bloque de constitucionalidad para los ignorantes y directivos de empresas de educación superior?
Contract Theory And The Failures Of Public-Private Contracting, Wendy Netter Epstein
Contract Theory And The Failures Of Public-Private Contracting, Wendy Netter Epstein
Wendy Netter Epstein
The market for public-private contracting is huge and flawed. Public-private contracts for services such as prisons and welfare administration tend to result in cost savings at the sacrifice of quality service. For instance, to cut costs, private prisons skimp on security. Public law scholars have studied these problems for decades and have proposed various public law solutions. But the literature is incomplete because it does not approach the problem through a commercial lens. This Article fills that gap. It considers how economic analysis of contract law, in particular efficiency theory and agency theory, bear upon the unique problems of public-private …
The Revolving Door, Wentong Zheng
The Revolving Door, Wentong Zheng
Wentong Zheng
The revolving door between the government and the private sector has long been presumed to lead to the capture of regulators by industry interests. A growing body of empirical literature, however, either finds no conclusive evidence of a capture effect or finds evidence of an opposite effect that the revolving door indeed results in more aggressive, not less aggressive, regulatory actions. To account for these incongruous results, scholars have formulated and tested a new “human-capital” theory positing that revolving-door regulators have incentives to be more aggressive toward the regulated industry as a way of signaling their qualifications to prospective industry …
A Public Interest Perspective On Local Number Portability: Consumers, Competition And Other Risks, J. Armand Musey Cfa, Michael Calabrese
A Public Interest Perspective On Local Number Portability: Consumers, Competition And Other Risks, J. Armand Musey Cfa, Michael Calabrese
J. Armand Musey, CFA
Before the Commission finalizes the selection of a vendor for the Local Number Portability Administrator (“LNPA”) contract, the Commission should take this opportunity to reconsider the future role of the number portability system and of the LNPA in relation to market competition, public safety and the IP technology transition. The functionality of today’s LNP platform extends well beyond providing routine number porting services between telecom carriers. It has evolved into a significant component in the greater ecosystem of telecommunications competition, public safety and technological evolution. As a result, any changes to the LNPA now will have broader and evolving public …
A Taxing Endeavor: Local Government Protection Of Our Nation's Coasts In The "Wake" Of Climate Change, Simone Savino
A Taxing Endeavor: Local Government Protection Of Our Nation's Coasts In The "Wake" Of Climate Change, Simone Savino
Simone Savino
A storm is brewing, and not just in our nation’s coastal waters. The effects of climate change are becoming alarmingly apparent: sea levels are rising, storm surges are intensifying and ocean temperatures are warming at increasing speeds. Higher storm surges have led to increased flooding in coastal zones and nearby low-lying regions. The need for greater disaster preparedness in areas vulnerable to storm surges is evident, not just in the United States, but worldwide. As a direct result, coastal towns and cities have been left with the daunting task, and cost, of implementing littoral adaptation measures such as beach renourishment …
The Aftermath Of Governor Mcdonnell’S Corruption Trial: Proposing Comprehensive Ethics Reform In Virginia, Lisa J. Lindhorst
The Aftermath Of Governor Mcdonnell’S Corruption Trial: Proposing Comprehensive Ethics Reform In Virginia, Lisa J. Lindhorst
Lisa J Lindhorst
On September 4, 2014, a federal court convicted former governor of Virginia Bob McDonnell of eleven counts of corruption, bribery, and fraud for accepting over $165,000 worth of gifts and loans from the CEO of a local company. The egregious actions that led to these federal criminal convictions, however, were startlingly “legal” under Virginia’s ethics laws. The disparity between federal criminal standards and Virginia’s ethics standards illustrates the severe inadequacies that plague Virginia’s current system of ethics laws. Virginia’s absence of appropriate ethics laws and enforcement led to the state’s failing State Integrity Investigation grade, and the public acknowledgment by …
Renegotiating Investment Contracts: The Case Of Mining Contracts In Democratic Republic Of The Congo, Lukanda F. Kapwadi
Renegotiating Investment Contracts: The Case Of Mining Contracts In Democratic Republic Of The Congo, Lukanda F. Kapwadi
Francky Lukanda
This article examines the issue of renegotiating an existing investment contract which does not provide for renegotiation clause. A prevailing theory in this respect asserts that a claim for renegotiating an existing agreement which contains no renegotiation clause should be disregarded as it amounts to an undue interference. This article addresses the question whether a contract concluded with unelected government or leaders of military factions in contravention to prevalent laws should escape revision. In particular, it assesses the rules and principles pertaining to renegotiation of an existing agreement against the Congolese process of renegotiation which involved over sixty mining contracts.
Turning Off The Tap On Thailand's Graft Pipeline: Renewed Emphasis On Mega-Projects And Counter-Corruption Needs Renewed Emphasis On Public Procurement Law, Daniel J. Mitterhoff
Turning Off The Tap On Thailand's Graft Pipeline: Renewed Emphasis On Mega-Projects And Counter-Corruption Needs Renewed Emphasis On Public Procurement Law, Daniel J. Mitterhoff
Daniel Mitterhoff
This commentary uses the Thai government's simultaneous emphases on implementing large scale infrastructure projects and controlling corruption to advocate that the Thai government needs to engage in fundamental public procurement law reforms; reforms that have been neglected for far too long.

Revisiting The Government As Plaintiff, Elizabeth Chamblee Burch
Revisiting The Government As Plaintiff, Elizabeth Chamblee Burch
Elizabeth Chamblee Burch
This is a symposium essay dedicated to the late Richard Nagareda and written in response to Adam S. Zimmerman's piece, The Corrective Justice State. As Professor Zimmerman recognizes, the debate over governments acting as plaintiffs and “regulating by deal” has shifted from initial questions over whether litigation produces the best public policy and whether executive officials are acting within the scope of their authority to how government actors should pursue and allocate settlements. Yet, as this first wave of controversy suggests, the slate upon which executive officials currently write is neither clean nor uncontroversial. Instead, this new debate is playing …

Liquid Assets: A Coasian Economic Analysis Of Oregon's Allocation Of Conserved Water Program, Richard A. Grisel
Liquid Assets: A Coasian Economic Analysis Of Oregon's Allocation Of Conserved Water Program, Richard A. Grisel
Richard A Grisel
Diversions for residential, agricultural, recreational, commercial, industrial, and other beneficial uses have had the effect of removing water from rivers and tributaries throughout the western U.S. Another, more recent, competing use is ecological, demonstrated by the legal recognition of instream beneficial uses in some jurisdictions. As awareness of the progressively acute need for reallocation has increased in the arid West, so has interest in water markets and other mechanisms to facilitate transfers across beneficial uses. However, governments and water users face a legacy prior appropriation system that prohibits instream beneficial uses, encourages maximal diversion, stifles water right fungibility, and generally …

Challenges In Designing Public Procurement Linkages: The Case Study Of Smes Preference In China’S Government Procurement, Jianlin Chen
Challenges In Designing Public Procurement Linkages: The Case Study Of Smes Preference In China’S Government Procurement, Jianlin Chen
Jianlin Chen
Preferential treatment in government procurement, also known as procurement linkages, is a con-troversial yet popular tool to achieve socio-economic goals, most importantly, affirmative action for certain targeted groups. This Article utilizes the recently enacted small-medium enterprise (“SME”) procurement linkages in China to examine the pitfalls in the design of procurement linkages. Two major deficiencies of the Chinese regime impede effective implementation of procurement linkages. First, loopholes in the Chinese regulatory regime allow large enterprises to usurp the benefits meant for SMEs through the use of wholly owned subsidiaries and other corporate arrangements. Second, aggrieved suppliers face stringent procedural requirements and …
Government Election Advocacy: Implications Of Recent Supreme Court Analysis, Steven J. Andre
Government Election Advocacy: Implications Of Recent Supreme Court Analysis, Steven J. Andre
Steven J. Andre
The constitutional issue presented by government partisanship in elections is becoming increasingly significant for review by the U.S. Supreme Court. The high Court’s decisions in Arizona Free Enterprise Club, Citizens United v. FEC and Pleasant Grove City v. Summum shed significant light on how the high Court would handle the government campaigning question if it should ever accept review on the issue. This article reviews lower court treatment of the problem and describes the U.S. Supreme Court’s analysis of election and First Amendment concerns and applies that analysis to the question of partisan government expenditures during election contests.
Gaming The System: Bio-Economics, Game Theory, & Fisheries Management, Richard A. Grisel
Gaming The System: Bio-Economics, Game Theory, & Fisheries Management, Richard A. Grisel
Richard A Grisel
This paper argues that game theory provides powerful, effective new tools to analyze externalities that occur in the context of strategic, multi-party, interactive decision-making. I will attempt to treat this as a non-technical paper and avoid the complex mathematics better left to economists and mathematicians. Instead, a more achievable goal is to illustrate how high-seas open-access fishing is virtually identical to a game situation, treat the fundamentals of game theory, and demonstrate that game theoretic analyses are well-suited and fruitful for designing effective policy responses to fisheries management, particularly with respect to the straddling stocks problem. Indeed, one seminal fisheries …
