The Coronavirus Pandemic Shutdown And Distributive Justice: Why Courts Should Refocus The Fifth Amendment Takings Analysis, Timothy M. Harris
The Coronavirus Pandemic Shutdown And Distributive Justice: Why Courts Should Refocus The Fifth Amendment Takings Analysis, Timothy M. Harris
Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review
The 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic and the ensuing shutdown of private businesses—to promote the public’ s health and safety— demonstrated the wide reach of state and local governments’ police power. Many businesses closed and many went bankrupt as various government programs failed to keep their enterprises afloat.
These businesses were shut down to further the national interest in stemming a global pandemic. This is an archetypal example of regulating for the public health—preventing a direct threat that sickened hundreds of thousands of Americans. But some businesses were disproportionately hit while others flourished. Many who bore the brunt of these regulations sued, …
Where Law Meets Equity: Evidentiary Hearings Under California Business And Professions Code Section 7031, Eric R. Reed
Where Law Meets Equity: Evidentiary Hearings Under California Business And Professions Code Section 7031, Eric R. Reed
Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review
California’ s contractor licensing statutes severely penalize unlicensed contractors. Even a brief license disruption may result in a contractor being unable to collect unpaid invoices or having to disgorge money received for past work. Courts began developing a “substantial compliance” exception to these statutes shortly after the legislature enacted them. This institutional tug-of-war prompted the legislature to codify the exception in section 7031(e) of the California Business and Professions Code, and, later, to create a unique stand-alone procedure for adjudicating substantial compliance. Section 7031(e) refers to this procedure as an “evidentiary hearing” but gives little guidance about how to conduct …

Revisiting The License V. Sale Conundrum, Nancy S. Kim
Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review
This Article seeks to answer a question that has become increasingly more important as commerce moves from the tangible to the intangible—to what extent may a business use a contract to control the use of a fully paid product? The characterization of a transaction as a license or a sale determines what may be done with a product, who controls how the product may be used, and what happens in the event of a dispute. The past generation has seen a seismic shift in the way businesses distribute their products to consumers. Businesses often “license” rather than “sell” their products, …

Democracy, Deference, And Compromise: Understanding And Reforming Campaign Finance Jurisprudence, Scott P. Bloomberg
Democracy, Deference, And Compromise: Understanding And Reforming Campaign Finance Jurisprudence, Scott P. Bloomberg
Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review
In Citizens United, the Supreme Court interpreted the government’s interest in preventing corruption as being limited to preventing quid pro quo— cash-for-votes—corruption. This narrow interpretation drastically circumscribed legislatures’ abilities to regulate the financing of elections, in turn prompting scholars to propose a number of reforms for broadening the government interest in campaign finance cases. These reforms include urging the Court to recognize a new government interest such as political equality, to adopt a broader understanding of corruption, and to be more deferential to legislatures in defining corruption.
Building upon that body of scholarship, this Article begins with a descriptive …

Guardians Of The Galaxy: How Shareholder Lawyers Won Big For Their Clients And Vindicated The Integrity Of Our Economy, Daniel J. Morrissey
Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review
Securities class actions are the most economically significant form of litigation. Highly skilled lawyers expend huge sums and relentless efforts in these matters but because of the costs involved and the potential for enormous liability very few of them ever make it to trial. This Article is the story of one that did, a mammoth fraud where a jury returned a $1.5 billion verdict that, with interest, increased to almost $2.5 billion by the time the case reached the appellate court.
There the Court upheld the shareholders’ theory that their damages could be measured by the excessive amounts they had …
Caremark's Hidden Promise, Ezra Wasserman Mitchell
Caremark's Hidden Promise, Ezra Wasserman Mitchell
Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review
In re Caremark, decided in 1996, established for the first time a director’s duty to monitor under Delaware law. A significant amount of jurisprudence and commentary has developed. Almost all of this literature parses the language of the case and those following, and disregards the underlying claims for damages. As a result of this linguistic focus, many have concluded that the duty to monitor largely is toothless and, importantly, deals only with claims of failure to monitor legal risk. A duty to monitor business risk has been disavowed.
Following the money reveals a different story. Classifying the cases according to …
