Rule 10b-5 As An Adaptive Organism, Donald C. Langevoort Jan 1993

Rule 10b-5 As An Adaptive Organism, Donald C. Langevoort

Fordham Law Review

In this Article, Professor Langevoort examines the adaptive qualities of Rule 10b-5 and how the rule has remained intact despite sweeping changes in the intellectual and political landscapes in which it operates. In Professor Langevoort's view, Rule l0b-5's survival is largely due to the flexibility of its language which has enabled the rule to embrace malleable social perceptions of the securities market and the securities business. Professor Langevoort also addresses the question of whether Rule l0b-5 has outlived its usefulness and should therefore be repealed and replaced by more precisely-drafted legislation. Professor Langevoort concludes that Rule l0b-5's continued survival is …

When Libido Subverts Credo: Regulation Of Attorney-Client Sexual Relations, Margit Livingston Jan 1993

When Libido Subverts Credo: Regulation Of Attorney-Client Sexual Relations, Margit Livingston

Fordham Law Review

Recent calls for increased regulation of attorney-client sexual relations have led several state courts, legislatures, and bar associations to consider specific rules restricting such practices. Advocates of enhanced regulation seek institutional recognition of the power differential inherent in the lawyer-client relationship. Critics prefer to rely on existing ethics rules governing attorney misconduct. In this Article Professor Livingston first reviews the judicial and administrative response to clients who accuse their attorneys of sexual impropriety. She next examines recently enacted state rules regulating attorney sexual misconduct and discusses pending legislative proposals. Professor Livingston then recommends a ban on all attorney-client sexual relations …


The Fair Value Of Minority Stock In Closely Held Corporations, Zenichi Shishido Jan 1993

The Fair Value Of Minority Stock In Closely Held Corporations, Zenichi Shishido

Fordham Law Review

In this Article, Professor Shishido examines the various methods—those used by the courts as well as those suggested by law and economics scholars—for determining the fair value of minority stock in closely held corporations. In Professor Shishido's view, the courts' method of weighing—the so-called Delaware block method—fails to arrive at the true value of the minority's shares and often undervalues their worth. Professor Shishido also argues that law and economics scholars fail to differentiate between closely held corporations and publicly held corporations, thus failing to include the effect of corporate law on the fair value of closely held corporate stock.

Fairness And Finality: Third-Party Challenges To Employment Discrimination Consent Decrees After The 1991 Civil Rights Act , Majorie A. Silver

Fordham Law Review

In this Article, Professor Silver examines Section 108 of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, which limits challenges to employment practices taken pursuant to employment discrimination consent decrees. The Article traces the development of the impermissible collateral attack doctrine, that doctrine's demise in Martin v. Wilks, and Congress' response to Martin as embodied in Section 108. Professor Silver also suggests ways in which Section 108 should be administered to comply with the Due Process Clause and argues for specific additional federal legislation to protect non-litigants or potential third-party challengers as well as to foster the utility and finality of legitimate …

The Case Against Strict Liability, Alan Schwartz Jan 1992

The Case Against Strict Liability, Alan Schwartz

Fordham Law Review

Professor Schwartz identifies the foundational assumptions of strict products liability law, and argues that these assumptions are either false, not supportive of banishing free contract, or not proven on the current evidence. After showing that, on the evidence now available, strict liability cannot be shown to be more efficient than free contract, Professor Schwartz argues that the choice among legal regimes should be made by a "representative consumer"--a person who knows what is knowable about markets and who knows that he lives in a liberal state, but who does not know what position he will occupy in that state. Professor …

A Stream Of Legal Consciousness: The Current Of Commerce Doctrine From Swift To Jones & Laughlin, Barry Cushman Jan 1992

A Stream Of Legal Consciousness: The Current Of Commerce Doctrine From Swift To Jones & Laughlin, Barry Cushman

Fordham Law Review

In this article on constitutional development and the New Deal Court. Professor Cushman argues that the conventional story of the Court's radical reversing of its jurisprudence in the face of the Court-packing plan is misconceived. The article instead seeks to demonstrate that Jones & Laughlin, one of the cases comprising the Constitutional Revolution of 1937 was conceptually, stylistically, and doctri- nally congruent with the Court's contemporary jurisprudence. The paradigm shift in commerce clause jurisprudence, Professor Cushman contends, came not in 1937, but in 1941 and 1942, after Roosevelt had had an opportunity to refash- ion the Court with a new …
