Symposium: Consumer Welfare Market Structure And Political Power, Edward J. Janger Dec 2020

Symposium: Consumer Welfare Market Structure And Political Power, Edward J. Janger

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

Two competing visions dominate the fields of antitrust and consumer protection: neo-liberal and progressive. The neo-classical approach is associated with Robert Bork and the Law and Economics Movement. The progressive strand is older, identified with Brandeis and early 20th Century social reform. As a matter of chronology the Brandeisian view dominated into the 1970s, but from 1980, until recently, the Borkian law and economics approach has been in ascendancy in Congress, the academy, and in the courts. Technological change and events in the broader economy have caused the politics and the academic focus to shift. The financial crisis of 2008-09 …


Your Uber Driver Is Here, But Their Benefits Are Not: The Abc Test, Assembly Bill 5, And Regulating Gig Economy Employers, Brian A. Brown Ii Dec 2020

Your Uber Driver Is Here, But Their Benefits Are Not: The Abc Test, Assembly Bill 5, And Regulating Gig Economy Employers, Brian A. Brown Ii

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

In September 2019, California passed Assembly Bill 5 (AB 5) which adopts the ABC test as the standard for determining whether an individual worker is an employee or an independent contractor. This legislation is aimed at gig economy employers, such as Uber, whose workers are arguably misclassified as independent contractors, ultimately denying them access to benefits and the ability to unionize. This Note will discuss AB 5 by identifying the successes and pitfalls of the legislation. While AB 5 is a step in the right direction, the bill still needs to be refined to avoid gaps in enforcement. Further, this …


Cyber-Insecurity: The Reasonableness Standard In Internet Of Things Device Regulation And Why Technical Standards Are Better Equipped To Combat Cybercrime, Chynna Rose Foucek Dec 2020

Cyber-Insecurity: The Reasonableness Standard In Internet Of Things Device Regulation And Why Technical Standards Are Better Equipped To Combat Cybercrime, Chynna Rose Foucek

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

While the Internet of Things (IoT) has created an interconnected world via phones, laptops, and even household devices, it is not infallible. As cyber-attacks increase in frequency, affecting companies of all sizes and industries, IoT device manufacturers have become particularly vulnerable, due in large part to the fact that many companies fail to implement adequate cybersecurity protocols. Mass data breaches occur often. However, these companies are not held accountable due to the use of the reasonableness standard in existing cybersecurity legislation, which is flexible and malleable. In 2019, the California Legislature enacted a cybersecurity law specific to IoT device manufacturers. …

The Birth Mother’S Assent To Adoption And The Limitation Of Autonomy Of Women’S Will In Spanish Law: A Proposal De Lege Ferenda, María Victoria Mayor Del Hoyo Dec 2020

The Birth Mother’S Assent To Adoption And The Limitation Of Autonomy Of Women’S Will In Spanish Law: A Proposal De Lege Ferenda, María Victoria Mayor Del Hoyo

Journal of Civil Law Studies

Even though in Spanish law the act establishing the adoption is judicial in nature, declarations of will have special relevance in the process, since they are a necessary precondition for the adoption. This work focuses on the assent of the biological mother, who is affected by and has an interest in the adoption process, even if not a party to it herself. In this work, the foundation, configuration, and characteristics of this assent are studied, as well as the form of her declaration of will, and the ability of the mother to offer it. Special attention is paid to the …

Interpreting The Conditions For Imprévision: The Goals Of The Reform Projects As A Decisive Tool For French And Belgian Courts, Luigi Montefusco Dec 2020

Interpreting The Conditions For Imprévision: The Goals Of The Reform Projects As A Decisive Tool For French And Belgian Courts, Luigi Montefusco

Journal of Civil Law Studies

The codification of the doctrine of imprévision in France and its codification attempt in Belgium is a significant turning point given the historical resistance in both countries towards it. Nevertheless, the fact that the French and Belgian civil codes had remained silent on the issue for more than 200 years poses problems of interpretation, in particular, with the regard to requirements to be met in or-der to trigger imprévision as set forth by new Article 1195 of the French Civil Code and Draft Article 5.77 of Belgian legislative pro-posal No. 3709/1 of April 3, 2019. In the absence of a …

Implikasi Pembuatan Akta Jual Beli Tanah Yang Objeknya Merupakan Objek Sita Jaminan Terhadap Pendaftaran Peralihan Hak Atas Tanah (Berdasarkan Putusan Mahkamah Agung No. 3260 K/Pdt/2018), Yustisia Aviyanti

Indonesian Notary

Hal ini mengakibatkan tanah tersebut beralih kepada pihak ketiga dan diterbitkan sertipikat peralihan haknya.

Keabsahan Surat Pernyataan Hibah Untuk Salah Satu Ahli Waris Tanpa Persetujuan Ahli Waris Lainnya, Dhea Nada Safa Prayitno Dec 2020

Keabsahan Surat Pernyataan Hibah Untuk Salah Satu Ahli Waris Tanpa Persetujuan Ahli Waris Lainnya, Dhea Nada Safa Prayitno

Indonesian Notary

Surat pernyataan hibah yang dibuat di bawah tangan dianggap belum memenuhi unsur pembuktian dari perbuatan hukum hibah. Hal ini dikarenakan dalam Pasal 37 ayat (1) PP Pendaftaran Tanah mengatur bahwa peralihan hak atas tanah melalui hibah hanya dapat didaftarkan apabila dapat dibuktikan dengan akta yang dibuat oleh PPAT. Pemberian hibah yang dilakukan kepada salah satu ahli waris pada saat penghibah sakit terhadap seluruh harta penghibah perlu persetujuan ahli waris lainnya sebagaimana tercantum dalam Pasal 726 KHES. Hal ini dikarenakan dengan diberikannya seluruh harta penghibah tanpa mempedulikan keberadaan ahli waris menjadikan bagian waris terlanggar. Ditambah lagi jika pemberian hibah hanya didasarkan …


Consumers' Declining Power In The Fintech Auto Loan Market, Pamela Foohey Dec 2020

Consumers' Declining Power In The Fintech Auto Loan Market, Pamela Foohey

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

Automobiles have become part of America’s infrastructure. For most people, having access to a car is crucial to their livelihoods and they will take on significant amounts of debt to purchase vehicles. Auto debt is unlike any other consumer debt, both in its structure, which allows creditors to easily seize collateral, and in its lack of regulation. The unique and lucrative nature of auto debt has not gone unnoticed by lenders or by companies leveraging fintech to offer people new ways to purchase cars and car loans. This Article assesses the evolving marketplace for auto sales, leasing, and loans to …


Warranty, Product Liability And Transaction Structure: The Problem Of Amazon, Edward J. Janger, Aaron D. Twerski Dec 2020

Warranty, Product Liability And Transaction Structure: The Problem Of Amazon, Edward J. Janger, Aaron D. Twerski

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

Amazon, and other internet sales platforms, have revolutionized the manner in which goods are purchased and sold. The obligations undertaken by Amazon in those sales are unclear, both as a matter of transparency, and as a matter of legal doctrine. Is Amazon a store? Is it a shipper? Is it a telephone? In various transactions Amazon can play some or all of these roles. Choosing the right metaphor has consequences. Amazon knows this and has done everything it can to deploy the metaphors selectively to its best legal and practical advantage, even when the chosen characterizations are inapt or even …


The Political Face Of Antitrust, Spencer Weber Waller, Jacob E. Morse Dec 2020

The Political Face Of Antitrust, Spencer Weber Waller, Jacob E. Morse

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

The last twenty years have brought antitrust back to the fore as a political issue of greater salience. Several booms and busts in the economy have highlighted the issue of corporate power in the economy and the political system. The growing influence and aggressiveness of the European Union and other jurisdictions’ competition laws have highlighted the relative retreat in the United States. Political movements in the United States have brought issues of corporate power and its abuse back into the public limelight and with them a greater political salience for antitrust in the election cycle of 2020.


Two Politicizations Of U.S. Antitrust Law, Frank Pasquale, Jacqueline Green Dec 2020

Two Politicizations Of U.S. Antitrust Law, Frank Pasquale, Jacqueline Green

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

Critics have accused the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) and Trump-appointee-chaired Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of populism, deviating from the more technocratic standards that governed agency interventions during the Bush and Obama eras. The broad brush of politicization has been applied to the administration's handling of a wide variety of topics, ranging from marijuana and media mergers, to landmark lawsuits against Google and Facebook. But a more discerning eye is necessary here. The concept of the political has both authoritarian and democratic registers. The federal Google and Facebook antitrust cases reflected the democratization of high technology antitrust. Meanwhile, troublingly authoritarian …


A History Of Consumer Class Actions In State Courts, Anne Fleming Dec 2020

A History Of Consumer Class Actions In State Courts, Anne Fleming

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

Most historians date the “modern” class action to the 1966 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Yet, the class action or “representative suit” has a longer, unexplored history in the state courts. In the late 1930s and 1940s, a group of scrappy, first-generation lawyers tried to build their businesses by aggregating the small-sum claims of many consumers. The defendants in these cases were, for example, lenders who failed to comply with the technicalities of state disclosure mandates, and utility companies that charged consumers extra fees. Each consumer’s claim was small, but, as a group, the claims could yield …


Door Shut And Ears Plugged: How Consumer Reporting Casts Identity Theft Victims Out Of Financial Society And How The Law Can Be Harmonized To Bring Them Back In, Ryan Bolger Dec 2020

Door Shut And Ears Plugged: How Consumer Reporting Casts Identity Theft Victims Out Of Financial Society And How The Law Can Be Harmonized To Bring Them Back In, Ryan Bolger

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) are the gatekeepers to the American economy. As the chief informants for prospective lenders, landlords, and employers, they exert immense power over the day-to-day decisions of who gets what. Despite these high stakes, the CRAs run consumer reporting as an automated electronic process that causes a lot of reporting errors, disqualifying consumers from essential goods, services, and opportunities. This is painfully true in the context of identity theft, where perverse incentives pollute the integrity of consumer reporting, piling undue harm onto identity theft victims. The law provides a remedy for this problem, but circuit courts are …


The Revolution Of The Commercial Space Industry: Why Current Laws Must Be Replaced Before American Business Expands To The Moon And Beyond, Drew M. Fryhoff Dec 2020

The Revolution Of The Commercial Space Industry: Why Current Laws Must Be Replaced Before American Business Expands To The Moon And Beyond, Drew M. Fryhoff

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

Space, the final frontier. Resting at the rim of the Earth, an endless void full of opportunity awaits those who are willing to take a leap of faith. Historically, only national space programs have been capable of orchestrating expeditions to outer space. However, American aerospace companies now rival governmental entities in their abilities to operate beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. State-of-the-art developments in aerospace technology have positioned the American commercial space sector to become more productive than national space programs in the years to come. Unfortunately, the potential of the American commercial space sector is severely hindered under the Treaty on …


Alternative Data And Insider Trading: Are Investment Managers Assleep At The Wheel On Big Data Use?, William Montemarano Dec 2020

Alternative Data And Insider Trading: Are Investment Managers Assleep At The Wheel On Big Data Use?, William Montemarano

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

The rapid rise of “big data” has transformed the way that professional investors make investment decisions. In addition, the intersection of the United States federal securities laws and the use of “big data” to inform securities trading lies in uncharted waters. The nuanced and factually-dependent securities laws are far behind industry practices, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) have remained largely silent on the issue to date. This Note argues that this combination of murky laws and rapidly evolving business practices gives rise to legal and regulatory risk, and that investment managers leveraging …


The Modern Pay For Play Model: Laws That Protect Student-Athletes' Fundamental Right To Commercialze Their Names, Images, And Likeness, Paul A. Schwabe Jr. Dec 2020

The Modern Pay For Play Model: Laws That Protect Student-Athletes' Fundamental Right To Commercialze Their Names, Images, And Likeness, Paul A. Schwabe Jr.

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

In O’Bannon v. NCAA, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California entered a permanent injunction against the National Collegiate Athletic Association enjoining the collegiate sports governing body from enforcing limits on student-athlete compensation derived from the use of their name, images, and likenesses rights. The court concluded that NCAA rules unreasonably restrained trade in violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, however, neither the court nor the NCAA laid out a framework for lawfully implementing these new economic rights to student-athletes. Since that ruling, only one state’s legislature, California, has attempted to pass legislation to prevent the …

Merging Mediation Models – And Other Lessons, John Lande Dec 2020

Merging Mediation Models – And Other Lessons, John Lande

Faculty Blogs

This post offers suggestions for teaching about mediation practice without focusing primarily on the problematic traditional mediation theories described in Section 3.C. It suggests that faculty (1) help students understand dynamics related to assessments of court outcomes, (2) teach students to strategically combine elements from the traditional models, (3) teach them how to manage the counteroffer process, (4) include lawyer-client relationships in simulations, and (5) use longer simulations including preparation for mediation sessions.
