Gop Powers Bring Consumer Data Showers: How Congress Just Sold Your Browsing History To The Highest Bidder, Brette Berman

AELJ Blog

The American news cycle has certainly been filled with its fair share of craziness in the past couple weeks. Did Russia hack the U.S. election? Is the battle for healthcare over? Was President Trump really wiretapped? Did you hear Beyoncé’s surprise new single? Most importantly: did Congress just put a price tag on your Internet privacy?

How (Not) To Get Sued For Using The Word “Houston”, Kevin Zhang

AELJ Blog

After the University of Houston (“UH”) filed suit against South Texas College of Law Houston (formerly South Texas College of Law) for trademark infringement last summer, the two sides have finally made progress in resolving their dispute via mediation. However, while UH has now found South Texas College of Law Houston’s amended name more to its liking, discussions regarding damages owed remain ongoing.

Astroturfers Beware: Amazon Continues To Police Fake Reviewers, Matthew Barish

AELJ Blog

Opining consumers have helped spawn a whole new interactive medium in the e-commerce world, where shoppers can read and post reviews of products or services in various online forums. More so, it’s nearly impossible to peruse a retail website, such as Amazon.com, without your eyes being immediately drawn to those gold-filled stars which unabashedly rate that new product you are seeking. In turn, the practice known as astroturfing—writing and posting fake online reviews—has increasingly become more prevalent, disrupting trust between the online consumer and the company that purports to sell that product which is the “BEST EVER!!”

Erie Step Zero, Alexander A. Reinert

Articles

Courts and commentators have assumed that the Erie doctrine, while originating in diversity cases, applies in all cases whatever the basis for federal jurisdiction. Thus, when a federal court asserts jurisdiction over pendent state law claims through the exercise of supplemental jurisdiction in a federal question case, courts regularly apply the Erie doctrine to resolve conflict between federal and state law. This Article shows why this common wisdom is wrong.

To understand why, it is necessary to return to Erie’s goals, elaborated over time by the U.S. Supreme Court. Erie and its progeny are steeped in diversity-driven policy concerns: concerns …

The Political Process Argument For Overruling Quill, Edward A. Zelinsky

Articles

Should the U.S. Supreme Court overrule Quill Corporation v. North Dakota? In Quill, the Court held that, under the dormant Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution, the states cannot impose the obligation to collect sales taxes on out-of-state vendors which lack physical presence in the taxing state. As internet commerce has grown, Quill’s physical presence test has severely hampered the states’ ability to enforce their sales taxes.

Much of the Supreme Court’s case law suggests that, under the banner of stare decisis, the Court should not overturn Quill. This case law indicates that it is Congress’s …

Erisa Preemption After Gobeille V. Liberty Mutual: Completing The Retrenchment Of Shaw, Edward A. Zelinsky

Articles

Gobeille v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. is the U.S. Supreme Court’s most recent preemption decision under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). In Gobeille, the Court completed the process of reconciling the restrained approach to ERISA preemption announced in New York State Conference of Blue Cross & Blue Shield Plans v. Travelers Insurance Co. with the Court’s literal and expansive approach adopted earlier in Shaw v. Delta Air Lines, Inc. Gobeille consummated this reconciliation by confirming the sub silentio retrenchment of Shaw and its “plain language” approach in favor of Traveler’s broader construction of ERISA preemption. …

Conviction Integrity Units Revisited, Barry Scheck

Articles

“Conviction Integrity Unit” has become a brand name that has good public relations value for an elected official. But what does it really mean? Is it just a fashion accessory, a flashy but empty appellation intended to convey the idea that the office is extremely serious about correcting wrongful convictions and holding its own members accountable for errors or acts of misconduct, but really is not? Is conviction integrity nothing more than a passing fad, a nebulous slogan without real meaning that is good for propaganda purposes, but will not bring about any serious change in the way business is …
