Paradoxes Of Health And Equality: When A Boy Becomes A Girl, Noa Ben-Asher
Faculty Publications
(Excerpt)
In the fall of 2000, six-year-old male Zachary from a small town in Ohio, claimed that s/he was a girl and requested, from now on, to be called Aurora. When the child's parents honored this unusual wish and made efforts to make official the child's feminine identity, the case turned into a custody battle between the parents and the state of Ohio. Although the child was occasionally treated as a girl at home from the age of two, the attempt to register the child in public school as a girl motivated the state dissolution of this family. At the …

In addition, this Article contributes to the debate over the general effectiveness of the .Sarbanes-Oxley Act, a topic of contention among both academics and press commentators. This Article argues that the Act …
Illinois Brick: A Look Back And A Look Ahead, Edward D. Cavanagh
Illinois Brick: A Look Back And A Look Ahead, Edward D. Cavanagh
Faculty Publications
(Excerpt)
In June 1977, the United States Supreme Court decided Illinois Brick Co. v. Illinois, ruling that only those dealing directly with price-fixers, and not others in the chain of distribution, are "injured" within the meaning of Section 4 of the Clayton Act in price-fixing cases. The decision struck the death knell to claims by indirect purchasers that illegal overcharges incurred by first purchasers had been passed-on to them through the distribution chain. The so-called direct purchaser rule of Illinois Brick was clear and unequivocal, the very essence of a bright-line rule. Yet, after over a quarter century, the …

International Decision: United States--Continued Dumping And Subsidy Offset Act Of 2000, Mark L. Movsesian
Faculty Publications
This brief article is a report of an international decision of the World Trade Organization Appellate Body on January 16, 2003, concerning the United States’ Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 (WT/DS217 & 234/AB/R). Eleven WTO members—Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, the European Communities, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Mexico, and Thailand—filed a challenge to the Byrd Amendment in the summer of 2001. A WTO dispute settlement panel, agreeing with the complaining parties, made two major findings. First, the panel concluded that the Byrd Amendment constitutes an impermissible specific action against dumping and subsidization under the Antidumping and SCM Agreements. …
Against Global Governance In The Wto, John O. Mcginnis, Mark L. Movsesian
Against Global Governance In The Wto, John O. Mcginnis, Mark L. Movsesian
Faculty Publications
In "Global Governance and the WTO," Professor Andrew Guzman has done an impressive job of articulating a vision of the World Trade Organization (WTO) that many international lawyers share. In this vision, the WTO's mission should be expanded beyond its present task of facilitating tariff reductions and preventing covert protectionism. Rather, the WTO should take on substantive authority in a wide variety of non-trade areas, including the environment, labor, human rights, and public health. Unlike many people who share this vision, Guzman takes the time to describe how it might best be accomplished. He advocates specialized WTO departments and periodic …

Sec Enforcement Of Attorney Up-The-Ladder Reporting Rules: An Analysis Of Institutional Contraints, Norms, And Biases, Michael A. Perino
Faculty Publications
In their paper and in their earlier comments to the SEC on the proposed attorney reporting rules, Professors Cramton, Cohen and Koniak do an excellent job recounting the genesis of the attorney reporting requirements in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, describing the SEC's proposed and final rules and critiquing the rule's triggering mechanism and now apparently shelved noisy withdrawal requirement. Their case study of the recent Spiegel, Inc. independent examiner's report is a particularly useful vehicle for examining the practical implications of the SEC's policy and drafting choices. Although I was a member of a committee that submitted comments opposed to noisy …
