What standard should apply?

This article reviews the scant literature on diagramming transactions, the current legal practice regarding diagrams, and makes some modest initial suggestions, for the most part consistent with extant practice, for rules on diagramming transactions. The author begins with creating a "title" or heading for the transaction diagram, discusses and prescribes the use of shapes to designate the type of entity party to a …

Transactions: The Tennessee Journal of Business Law

In light of the recent debates surrounding the proper relationship between federal and state antitrust enforcement, this Paper explores the early years of state antitrust enforcement to see how the Sherman Act impacted state antitrust law.

Third-Party Litigation Funding And The Dodd-Frank Act, Victoria Shannon

Transactions: The Tennessee Journal of Business Law

This article questions whether the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) should apply to the growing phenomenon of third-party litigation funding, in which outside entities invest in litigation or arbitration for profit. Currently, the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom lightly regulate third-party litigation funding, but the majority of the day-to-day oversight comes through voluntary funder self-regulation. Most third-party funders of commercial disputes are private hedge funds that are subject to the securities regulations of the jurisdictions in which they operate. The Dodd-Frank Act is a relatively new statute in the United States that regulates …
