Rethinking Consideration In The Electronic Age, Robert A. Hillman, Maureen O'Rourke Jan 2010

Rethinking Consideration In The Electronic Age, Robert A. Hillman, Maureen O'Rourke

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Our fast-paced age of electronic agreements that ostensibly govern transactions as diverse as downloading software, ordering goods, and engaging in collaborative development projects raises questions regarding the suitability of contract law as the appropriate legal framework. While this question arises in many settings, we focus here on the free and open source software (FOSS) movement because of the maturity and success of its model and the ubiquity of its software. We explore in particular whether open source licenses are supported by consideration, and argue that they are, and that open source licenses are contracts. We further argue that a contractual …


Enhancing Enforcement Of Economic, Social, And Cultural Rights Using Indicators: A Focus On The Right To Education In The Icescr, Sital Kalantry, Jocelyn E. Getgen, Steven A. Koh Jan 2010

Enhancing Enforcement Of Economic, Social, And Cultural Rights Using Indicators: A Focus On The Right To Education In The Icescr, Sital Kalantry, Jocelyn E. Getgen, Steven A. Koh

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Nearly fifteen years ago, Audrey Chapman emphasized the importance of ascertaining violations of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) as a means to enhance its enforcement. Today, this violations approach is even more salient given the recent adoption of the Optional Protocol to the ICESCR. This article focuses on the right to education in the ICESCR to illustrate how indicators can be employed to ascertain treaty compliance and violations. Indicators are important to enforcing economic, social, and cultural rights because they assist in measuring progressive realization. The methodology that we propose calls for: 1) analyzing the …


Solar Rights For Texas Property Owners, Sara C. Bronin Jan 2010

Solar Rights For Texas Property Owners, Sara C. Bronin

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

In response to Jamie France's note, A Proposed Solar Access Law for the State of Texas, Professor Bronin urges future commentators to focus on three additional areas of inquiry related to proposed solar rights regimes. Bronin argues that such proposals would be strengthened by discussion of potential legal challenges to the proposals, related political issues, and renewable energy microgrids. Ms. France’s proposal for the State of Texas includes the elimination of preexisting private property restrictions that negatively affect solar access. Bronin argues that this proposal would be strengthened by a discussion of potential challenges under federal and state takings clauses. …


Foreclosed: High-Risk Lending, Deregulation, And The Undermining Of America's Mortgage Market, By D Immergluck [Book Review], David J. Reiss Jan 2010

Foreclosed: High-Risk Lending, Deregulation, And The Undermining Of America's Mortgage Market, By D Immergluck [Book Review], David J. Reiss

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

This is a short book review of Dan Immergluck, FORECLOSED: HIGH-RISK LENDING, DEREGULATION, AND THE UNDERMINING OF AMERICA’S MORTGAGE MARKET (Cornell University Press 2009). The book provides a good introduction to the causes of the crisis in the mortgage market. Given, however, that the book was written before the crisis has fully taken its course, it does have certain limitations. In particular, the book deals with some fundamental questions too superficially. These fundamental questions include, what is the right level of complexity for the secondary mortgage market? What is the right level of credit access for subprime borrowers? And, what …


Undocumented Migrant Workers In A Fragmented International Order, Chantal Thomas Jan 2010

Undocumented Migrant Workers In A Fragmented International Order, Chantal Thomas

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

This Paper tries to show the effects of a central challenge of contemporary global governance: the "interaction between normative orders that are fundamentally different in their underlying conceptual structure." The argument is that the dynamics of globalization create and accentuate particular social phenomena as well as efforts towards coordinated regulation of these phenomena, but that the latter are far from sufficient to meet the former. A further assertion is that global relations and distributions of power determine the operation of this fragmented framework. Social vulnerability is reflected in and reinforced by it. As such, the undocumented migrant worker challenges, in …

A Reintroduction: Survival Skills For Post-Conviction Practice In South Carolina, John H. Blume, Emily C. Paavola Jan 2010

A Reintroduction: Survival Skills For Post-Conviction Practice In South Carolina, John H. Blume, Emily C. Paavola

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Post-conviction practice is an important safeguard against unjust, unconstitutional, and erroneous convictions. Despite the importance of the topic, the subject has historically received scant attention from legal commentators. In 1994, "An Introduction to Post-Conviction Remedies, Practice And Procedure in South Carolina" was published. At the time, very little had been written about the post-conviction remedies available to prisoners in South Carolina, and the article was intended to introduce appointed counsel and pro se inmates to the various post-conviction remedies available. In the forty years since its initial enactment, South Carolina's Post-Conviction Relief (PCR) Act was amended three times, the South …


Contract Law In Context: The Case Of Software Contracts, Robert A. Hillman Jan 2010

Contract Law In Context: The Case Of Software Contracts, Robert A. Hillman

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The membership of The American Law Institute unanimously approved the “Principles of the Law of Software Contracts” in May of 2009. In this essay for a symposium in the Wake Forest Law Review, I draw on my experience as Reporter on the ALI project to add my perspective on an interesting general question: Is specialization of contract law wise and, if so, in what contexts? I certainly cannot definitively answer the question of whether in the abstract society is better off with general or specialized law, but my experience in drafting the software rules, along with Associate Reporter, Maureen O'Rourke, …


Deconstructing Nondelegation, Cynthia R. Farina Jan 2010

Deconstructing Nondelegation, Cynthia R. Farina

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

This Essay (part of the panel on "The Administrative State and the Constitution" at the 2009 Federalist Society Student Symposium) suggests that the persistence of debates over delegation to agencies cannot persuasively be explained as a determination finally to get constitutional law “right,” for nondelegation doctrine—at least as traditionally stated—does not rest on a particularly sound legal foundation. Rather, these debates continue because nondelegation provides a vehicle for pursuing a number of different concerns about the modern regulatory state. Whether or not one shares these concerns, they are not trivial, and we should voice and engage them directly rather than …


Toward Internationally Regulated Goods: Controlling The Trade In Small Arms And Light Weapons, Asif Efrat Jan 2010

Toward Internationally Regulated Goods: Controlling The Trade In Small Arms And Light Weapons, Asif Efrat

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Contrary to the general trend of trade liberalization, specific goods—such as small arms, drugs, and antiquities—have come under increasing international control in recent decades through a set of international regulatory agreements. This article offers a theoretical framework of government preferences on the international regulation of these goods. Departing from conventional models of trade policy, the theoretical framework introduces negative externalities, rather than protection, as the motivation for restricting trade; it also takes moral concerns into account. I test this framework empirically through an original survey of government views on international small-arms regulation. Based on interviewing officials from 118 countries, the …


Globalization And The Border: Trade, Labor, Migration, And Agricultural Production In Mexico, Chantal Thomas Jan 2010

Globalization And The Border: Trade, Labor, Migration, And Agricultural Production In Mexico, Chantal Thomas

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The debate over immigration policy in the United States has reached a crescendo in recent years, with particular concern over illegal workers and their impact on social well-being in this country. Yet in the prevailing analysis of this issue, the relationship between immigration and contemporary international trade policy is often overlooked. In particular, few commentators recognize or understand that a significant part of the surge in illegal labor from Mexico--the source of the majority of undocumented workers in the United States—stems from reforms that Mexico undertook in cooperation with the United States to liberalize trade flows across the Mexico-United States …
