Regulation Of Rule 506 Private Placements: The Teetering Balance Between Investor Protection And Capital Formation, Ilon Oliveira
Regulation Of Rule 506 Private Placements: The Teetering Balance Between Investor Protection And Capital Formation, Ilon Oliveira
Golden Gate University Law Review
This Comment aims to show that since the creation of Reg. D private placements, Congress and the SEC have promulgated a series of amendments and enactments that have collectively resulted in a heightened risk of fraud and inadequate safeguards for investors. Part I of this Comment will discuss private placements and the significant enactments and amendments that affect Rule 506 private placement offerings (“Rule 506 offerings”). The most notable amendments in this discussion will include the preemption of state blue-sky laws in 1996, the shortening of the holding period before resale in 2007, the exclusion of an investor’s primary residence …
Do-It-Yourself Privacy: The Need For Comprehensive Federal Privacy Legislation With A Private Right Of Action, Alec Wheatley
Do-It-Yourself Privacy: The Need For Comprehensive Federal Privacy Legislation With A Private Right Of Action, Alec Wheatley
Golden Gate University Law Review
This Comment will argue that there is a significant gap in federal privacy law that must be addressed. New federal legislation is needed to fill this gap and would be preferable to a mishmash of potentially conflicting state laws currently in development that will make compliance more difficult for companies that do business online. The incorporeal nature of the Internet also cuts against relying on state legislation, because it makes it difficult to determine the proper jurisdiction for a claimed privacy violation, creating complex choice-of-law disputes.
Judging And Administration For Far-Off Places: Trial, Appellate, And Committee Work In The South Pacific, Stephen L. Wasby
Judging And Administration For Far-Off Places: Trial, Appellate, And Committee Work In The South Pacific, Stephen L. Wasby
Golden Gate University Law Review
Little attention is paid to the far reaches of the federal judicial system, which extends beyond the boundaries of the continental United States and even beyond the outermost states of Alaska and Hawaii; Puerto Rico is part of the First Circuit,1 and the Virgin Islands are part of the Third Circuit.2 Most particularly, the Ninth Circuit encompasses not only Hawai’i but also the territories of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands (NMI). Not only has the Ninth Circuit provided judges to hear cases in the district courts in Guam and the NMI as needed and reviewed cases appealed from those …

Nothing To Sneeze At: Severe Food Allergy As A Disability Under The Ada Amendments Act Of 2008, Jason Mustard
Nothing To Sneeze At: Severe Food Allergy As A Disability Under The Ada Amendments Act Of 2008, Jason Mustard
Golden Gate University Law Review
This Comment argues that the courts must classify individuals with severe food allergies as having a disability under the ADAA going forward and accordingly must extend the accommodations and protections that come with that designation to these individuals. Part II of the Comment examines the prevalence and severity of food allergies in the United States. Part III examines the history of disability law and how that law has been applied to individuals with severe food allergies. Part IV discusses the status of severe food allergies going forward in light of the ADAA and the effect of the law on recent …
Asleep At The School-Bus Wheel: The Success And Failure Of School Desegregation In San Jose Unified School District And How To Save It, Richard Miyasaki
Asleep At The School-Bus Wheel: The Success And Failure Of School Desegregation In San Jose Unified School District And How To Save It, Richard Miyasaki
Golden Gate University Law Review
This Comment will examine the history of school desegregation in San Jose, how the law bears upon those orders and any possible future plans, whether San Jose will likely again face allegations of operating segregated schools, and how the school authorities or courts may find a more lasting solution. Specifically, it will examine the impact of desegregation in the District’s high schools and possible solutions. Although no simple solutions are present, it is my hope that this Comment may both bring attention to this issue and offer areas for further exploration in attempting to deal with segregated schools today.

Davey Jones’S Lockup: Changing The U.S. Approach To Prosecution And Punishment Of Maritime Piracy In Universal Jurisdiction Cases, Collin Mccarthy
Golden Gate University Law Review
Recognizing the need for the United States government to take a leadership role in confronting and suppressing the resurging threat of maritime piracy, this Comment evaluates the current status of maritime piracy laws in the United States. Moreover, as the use of legal mechanisms will play a vital part in combating maritime piracy, this Comment seeks to demonstrate that the statutory system as it stands is both outdated and illsuited for addressing the complexities of piracy in the modern era, and will only impede the achievement of current strategic objectives. More specifically, as the crime of piracy is no longer …
Emulating The German Two-Tier Board And Worker Participation In U.S. Law: A Stakeholder Theory Of The Firm, Eric Engle, Tetiana Danyliuk
Emulating The German Two-Tier Board And Worker Participation In U.S. Law: A Stakeholder Theory Of The Firm, Eric Engle, Tetiana Danyliuk
Golden Gate University Law Review
The U.S. corporate governance system failed in 2002, and again in 2008, leading to the deepest economic downturn in the United States since the Great Depression. Germany, in contrast, suffered neither widespread regulatory failure nor market collapse. Important differences in the U.S. and German corporate structure and capital markets may explain the divergent economic performance. This Article examines whether and how to emulate German corporate governance structures in the U.S. market, a theme which may be of interest to German corporations considering locating operations in the United States, such as Volkswagen in Tennessee.
This Article is structured in three parts. …

A Wall Of Legislative Obstacles In The Path Of A Woman Exercising Her Right To An Abortion: Planned Parenthood Arizona, Inc. V. Betlach, Angela Breslin
A Wall Of Legislative Obstacles In The Path Of A Woman Exercising Her Right To An Abortion: Planned Parenthood Arizona, Inc. V. Betlach, Angela Breslin
Golden Gate University Law Review
This Note addresses the limited impact of the Ninth Circuit’s holding in Planned Parenthood Arizona, Inc. v. Betlach, especially for women living in states hostile to abortion rights. These legislative attempts to infringe on a woman’s right to an abortion are based on opinion and emotion, not reason and common sense. An objective view of the legislation stacked against a woman in exercising her right, including legislation against physicians who provide the service, illustrates how all of these obstacles have effectively become a wall. A woman’s constitutional right should not continue to be chipped away, one state statute at …
With Federal Money Up For Grabs And The Clean Energy Dream Within Reach, The Ninth Circuit Rubber Stamps The Central District’S Flawed Judgment In Western Watershed Project V. Salazar: Should Nepa Jurisprudence Be Modified?, Erik Faussner
Golden Gate University Law Review
As a clean-energy leader, California has been rapidly developing clean-energy infrastructure to meet its goal of supplying 33% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020. The federal government has also been an active participant in this push for a clean-energy future, creating an atmosphere where big projects can thrive on federal land with help from the federal purse. With support from the state and federal governments, large-scale clean-energy projects will become commonplace in the California desert. The Southwest is an ideal place for solar development because of its reliably sunny weather. Unfortunately, the rapid expansion of clean-energy infrastructure has …
Foie Gras Ban In California, Erica Williams Morris
Foie Gras Ban In California, Erica Williams Morris
Golden Gate University Law Review
Section 25982 of the California Health and Safety Code was unsuccessfully challenged by one restaurant that served foie gras to customers for many years prior to the ban imposed by the statute. If the courts do not invalidate the statute, foie gras will be permanently banned in the state. The statute is unconstitutional, and if challenged correctly, the courts should so find. However, although foie gras production is very controversial, there are alternative methods that allow all interested parties have what they want: foie gras and happy birds.
