Rewriting The Constitution: An Economic Analysis Of The Constitutional Amendment Process, Donald J. Boudreaux, A. C. Pritchard Jan 1993

Rewriting The Constitution: An Economic Analysis Of The Constitutional Amendment Process, Donald J. Boudreaux, A. C. Pritchard

Fordham Law Review

In this Article, the authors develop an economic theory of the constitutional amendment process under Article V, focusing particularly on the roles that Congress and interest groups play in that process. The authors construct a model to predict when an interest group will seek an amendment rather than a statute to further its interests, highlighting how interest group maintenance costs and anticipated opposition affect that choice. They then discuss the efficiency goals of constitutionalism—precommitment and reduction of agency costs—and argue that the structure of the amendment process under Article V prevents realization of these goals. The authors contrast the Bill …

Competition For Corporate Charters And The Lesson Of Takeover Statutes, Roberta Romano Jan 1993

Competition For Corporate Charters And The Lesson Of Takeover Statutes, Roberta Romano

Fordham Law Review

In this Essay, Professor Romano considers the efficacy of competition among states for tax revenues generated by corporate charters. To this end, she focuses on how state takeover regulation-regulation which tends to benefit management rather than shareholders--affects this competition. She argues that federalism provides a safety net which protects investor interests and reduces the likelihood of self-serving management decisions. Professor Romano concludes that the current state-based system of incorporation is preferable to a national regime.


Bondage, Domination, And The Art Of The Deal: An Assessment Of Judicial Strategies In Lender Liability Good Faith Litigation, A. Brooke Overby Jan 1993

Bondage, Domination, And The Art Of The Deal: An Assessment Of Judicial Strategies In Lender Liability Good Faith Litigation, A. Brooke Overby

Fordham Law Review

In the 1980s the contractual obligation of good faith and fair dealing achieved preeminence in the area of lender liability. This raised concerns that expansive judicial interpretation of the obligation would, in effect, rewrite the parties' contracts and result in the imposition of undue economic liability upon lenders. In this Article Professor Overby first traces the statutory, common law, and theoretical attempts to provide transactors with legal standards of conduct through the obligation of good faith. She then examines the judicial approaches to good faith in the lending context, rejecting as unfounded concerns over economic liability or widespread judicial activism. …

Vertical Restraints, Efficiency, And The Real World, Jean Wegman Burns Jan 1993

Vertical Restraints, Efficiency, And The Real World, Jean Wegman Burns

Fordham Law Review

In this Article, Professor Burns addresses the rise of economic efficiency in antitrust jurisprudence. She argues that the theory is incomplete in that it fails to address “noneconomic” concerns, such as dealer fairness, intraband competition, and business ethics, which society wishes addressed. Societal concern, she argues, is evidenced by the rise of dealer fairness remedies outside the realm of antitrust law. In addition, she argues that the public regards the economic efficiency theory as out of touch with reality as evidenced by the vocal opposition of sophisticated consumer groups to modern Chicago-School-influenced antitrust jurisprudence. She concludes by voicing support for …


The Societas Europea: The Evolving European Corporation Statute, Terence L. Blackburn Jan 1993

The Societas Europea: The Evolving European Corporation Statute, Terence L. Blackburn

Fordham Law Review

In this Article, Professor Blackburn examines and evaluates the Commission of the European Community's 1991 proposed European corporation statute, which represents the Commission's latest endeavor into creating a new form of business organization that possesses a European identity independent of the laws of the member states that comprise the European Economic Community. Professor Blackburn argues that this proposal fails because it places too much reliance on member state law for matters of basic structure and management, and therefore incorporates by reference the material variations in company law that exist among the member states. Professor Blackburn moreover contends that this proposal …

The Legal, Ethical, And Social Implications Of The "Reasonable Woman" Standard In Sexual Harassment Cases, Robert S. Adler, Ellen R. Peirce Jan 1993

The Legal, Ethical, And Social Implications Of The "Reasonable Woman" Standard In Sexual Harassment Cases, Robert S. Adler, Ellen R. Peirce

Fordham Law Review

In this Article, Professors Adler and Peirce examine the development and implications of the "reasonable woman" standard that is gaining increasing acceptance as the appropriate gauge for measuring the offensiveness of the conduct at issue in sexual harassment cases. The authors begin by reviewing the origins of sexual harassment law under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, paying particular attention to the history of "hostile environment" causes of action. Professors Adler and Peirce then discuss how and why the reasonable woman standard evolved as an alternative to the conventional "reasonable man" and "reasonable person "standards that had …

Perspectives On Disclosing Rape Victims' Names, Deborah W. Denno Jan 1993

Perspectives On Disclosing Rape Victims' Names, Deborah W. Denno

Fordham Law Review

In this Essay, Professor Denno examines the century-long conflict between an individual's right to privacy and the freedom of the press in the context of the media's disclosure of rape victims' names. Part I briefly reviews the United States Supreme Court's primary rulings on this topic, explaining that the Court has generally protected the freedom of the press under the First Amendment Part I emphasizes, however, that the Court has left available an opportunity for a con- trary interpretation under certain circumstances in Florida Star v. BJ.F., the Court's last ruling concerning the disclosure of rape victims' names. Part I1 …
