Navigating Troubled Waters: Dealing With Personal Values When Representing Others, Mitchell M. Simon
Navigating Troubled Waters: Dealing With Personal Values When Representing Others, Mitchell M. Simon
Law Faculty Scholarship
Legal academics have long struggled to define the appropriate role a lawyer's moral judgment ought to play in client representation. In its simplest terms, the question is: Must a lawyer be a "hired gun," seeking all lawful objectives sought by a client, or may a lawyer act independently to avoid the harm a client's actions will cause innocent parties? Following disclosure of lawyer involvement in the Savings and Loan, Enron and WorldCom failures, many in society joined those scholars calling for greater moral responsibility.
In this article, I provide an analytical approach consistent with existing law and practice that seeks …

Secondary Sources: Top Ten, Susan Drisko Zago
Secondary Sources: Top Ten, Susan Drisko Zago
Law Faculty Scholarship
Secondary sources are a legal researcher's best friend. They are a great place to begin researching a new topic as they provide a framework for understanding the subject. Not only will a good secondary source provide researchers with a way of approaching the topic, but it will also introduce beginning researchers to the language of the subject. Secondary sources also contain expert analysis, references to primary law such as cases, statutes, and regulations, and will also include such other resources as governmental reports, statistics, and other secondary sources. While secondary sources are an incredibly valuable research tool, they can offer …

Terms of absolute exclusion exceeding the shelf life of particular works give no advantage to authors and publishers, and compulsory licenses are a fair means to increase public access.
Improving The Efficiency Of The Angel Finance Market: A Proposal To Expand The Intermediary Role Of Finders In The Private Capital Raising Setting, John L. Orcutt
Law Faculty Scholarship
The angel finance market is of critical importance to the financing and creation of rapid-growth start-ups, whose continuous creation plays a substantial role in the success of the U.S. economy. Unfortunately, the angel finance market suffers from systematic problems, including information and agency problems and high transaction costs, that limit its ability to adequately finance these rapid-growth start-ups. One reason for the angel market's inefficiency is the lack of meaningful financial intermediaries that operate in the market. One logical group that could serve a meaningful intermediary role in the angel market is finders. The current regulatory treatment of finders, however, …
Cross Purposes: Remedying The Endorsement Of Symbolic Religious Speech, Jordan C. Budd
Cross Purposes: Remedying The Endorsement Of Symbolic Religious Speech, Jordan C. Budd
Law Faculty Scholarship
Justice O’Connor’s “perception of endorsement” standard governs the analysis of religious displays on public property for purposes of the Establishment Clause. The test rests on the perceptions of an “objective observer,” endowed with essentially perfect factual information, who assesses whether the display of religious imagery reasonably implies official endorsement of its message. Applying this standard, a well-developed jurisprudence unambiguously proscribes the permanent placement of religious symbols on public land. The remediation of these violations, however, is an ad hoc and often superficial exercise. This Article proposes a framework to realign the remedial inquiry with the rigorous assessment of the proscription …

Preemption Of State Spam Laws By The Federal Can-Spam Act, Roger Allen Ford
Preemption Of State Spam Laws By The Federal Can-Spam Act, Roger Allen Ford
Law Faculty Scholarship
Unsolicited bulk commercial email is an increasing problem, and though many states have passed laws aimed at curbing its use and abuse, for several years the federal government took no action. In 2003 that changed when Congress passed the CAN-SPAM Act. Though the law contains many different restrictions on spam messages, including some restriction of nearly every type that states had adopted, the Act was widely criticized as weak. Many of the CAN-SPAM Act's provisions are weaker than corresponding provisions of state law, and the Act preempts most state spam laws that would go farther, including two state laws that …
Women In The Web Of Secondary Copyright Liability And Internet Filtering, Ann Bartow
Women In The Web Of Secondary Copyright Liability And Internet Filtering, Ann Bartow
Law Faculty Scholarship
This Essay suggests possible explanations for why there is not very much legal scholarship devoted to gender issues on the Internet; and it asserts that there is a powerful need for Internet legal theorists and activists to pay substantially more attention to the gender-based differences in communicative style and substance that have been imported from real space to cyberspace. Information portals, such as libraries and web logs, are "gendered" in ways that may not be facially apparent. Women are creating and experiencing social solidarity online in ways that male scholars and commentators do not seem to either recognize or deem …
