Is Forum-Shopping Corrupting America's Bankruptcy Courts? Review Of Lynn M. Lopucki, "Courting Failure: How Competition For Big Cases Is Corrupting The Bankruptcy Courts", Todd J. Zywicki
George Mason University School of Law Working Papers Series
In his new book, Courting Failure: How Competition for Big Cases is Corrupting the Bankruptcy Courts, Professor Lynn LoPucki’s book argues that that current bankruptcy venue rules have spawned an improper “competition for big cases” that has “corrupted” America’s bankruptcy courts. LoPucki argues that this competition has harmed the bankruptcy system and the economy, transferring wealth from creditors and employees to incumbent management and bankruptcy professionals. He also argues that the competition that has corrupted the American bankruptcy system is being replicated internationally, resulting in a similar competition and similar harm on the global stage.

From "Federalization" To "Mixed Governance" In Corporate Law: A Defense Of Sarbanes-Oxley, Robert B. Ahdieh
From "Federalization" To "Mixed Governance" In Corporate Law: A Defense Of Sarbanes-Oxley, Robert B. Ahdieh
Faculty Scholarship
Since the very moment of its adoption, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has been subject to a litany of critiques, many of them seemingly well-placed. The almost universal condemnation of the Act for its asserted 'federalization' of corporate law, by contrast, deserves short shrift. Though widely invoked - and blithely accepted - dissection of this argument against the legislation shows it to rely either on flawed assumptions or on normative preferences not ordinarily acknowledged (or perhaps even accepted) by those who criticize Sarbanes-Oxley for its federalization of state corporate law.
Once we appreciate as much, we can begin by replacing …
Unlawful Dividends, Unjust Enrichment, And The Defence Of Change Of Position, Cecil Duncan Macrae
Unlawful Dividends, Unjust Enrichment, And The Defence Of Change Of Position, Cecil Duncan Macrae
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
Economic analysis is applied to determining the effect of the change of position defense on the question of whether an innocent shareholder receiving an unlawful, mistaken dividend should be liable under English restitution law as the result of unjust enrichment. The analysis builds on and extends previous economics analysis of mistaken money transfers under restitution law. The conclusion of the analysis of the change of position defense is that unjust enrichment liability with the defense should not be extended to unlawful, mistaken dividends, even if the factors for unjust enrichment are present.
International Antisuit Injunctions: Enjoining Foreign Litigations And Arbitrations - Beholding The System From Outside, Marco Stacher
International Antisuit Injunctions: Enjoining Foreign Litigations And Arbitrations - Beholding The System From Outside, Marco Stacher
Cornell Law School J.D. Student Research Papers
Antisuit injunctions are issued by a court to prevent a party from bringing suit in another forum. They are a powerful tool available to American courts to implement their decision on jurisdiction. It goes without saying that granting such an injunction de facto affects the capability of the other forum to hear the dispute, which conflicts with the principle of comity. American courts therefore only enjoin a party from proceeding in another forum if certain criteria are satisfied. This paper discusses these criteria in the context of international litigations and arbitrations. It analyzes the case law on this issue and …
The Deregulation Of International Trucking In The European Union: Form And Effect, Francine Lafontaine, Laura M. Valeri
The Deregulation Of International Trucking In The European Union: Form And Effect, Francine Lafontaine, Laura M. Valeri
Law & Economics Working Papers Archive: 2003-2009
This paper examines how the deregulation of the international road transport industry in Western Europe has affected 1- the total quantity of cross-border road transport in the region; 2- the degree to which shippers outsource rather than integrate vertically their cross-border transport needs; and 3- the extent to which different countries participate in international road freight transport in Western Europe. Not surprisingly, we find that deregulation has had a large positive effect on the amount of international road transport net of the effect of the trade ties that grew over time among European Union countries. Moreover, consistent with the fact …
Antitrust Analysis Of B2b Transaction, Akira Inoue
Antitrust Analysis Of B2b Transaction, Akira Inoue
Cornell Law School Inter-University Graduate Student Conference Papers
B2B is a business-to-business market place that uses internet to connect each other business. It has gotten a lot more attention recently in Japan as well as in the U.S. because it is possible to lower the procurement costs of raw material and accomplish several procompetitive effects such as communication efficiencies. However, in spite of these pro transactional natures of B2B, it could also cause anticompetitive effects on market place. In other words, the fact that buyers communicate easily through the internet means they could easily form a cartel or conclude an agreement to restrain the free competition and it …

Institutions, Incentives, And Consumer Bankruptcy Reform, Todd Zywicki
Institutions, Incentives, And Consumer Bankruptcy Reform, Todd Zywicki
George Mason University School of Law Working Papers Series
Consumer bankruptcy filing rates have soared during the past 25 years. From 225,000 filings in 1979, consumer bankruptcies topped 1.5 million during 2004. This relentless upward trend is striking in light of the generally high prosperity, low interest rates, and low unemployment during that period. This anomaly of ever-upward bankruptcy filing rates during a period of economic prosperity had spurred calls to reform the Bankruptcy Code to place new conditions on bankruptcy relief. Although bankruptcy reform has drawn broad bipartisan support on Capitol Hill, these proposals have proven controversial within the academy. Critics have argued that these reforms are unnecessary …

Summary Of Village Builders 96, Patty Roberts
Summary Of Village Builders 96, Patty Roberts
Nevada Supreme Court Summaries
In September 1995, Ray Brannen formed Buena Nevada. In December 1996, Brannen sold 100% of Buena Nevada’s shares to Geofon, Inc, which formed a new company named Buena Engineers, Inc., a Division of Geofon, Inc. (Buena Geofon). In the sales agreement, Brannen reserved the right to repurchase the shares of Buena Geofon. In 1997, Buena Geofon submitted a proposal to Village Builders, LP (Village) to perform an environmental site assessment, which Village accepted. Acting on Buena Geofon’s assessment, Village purchased the property only to discover in December 1998 that Buena Geofon’s assessment failed to identify contaminated soil and ground water …
What Is Corporate Law's Place In Promoting Societal Welfare?: An Essay In Honor Of Professor William Klein, Randall Thomas
What Is Corporate Law's Place In Promoting Societal Welfare?: An Essay In Honor Of Professor William Klein, Randall Thomas
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
This is a short essay on what should be the fundamental criterion used to evaluate corporate law. I argue that the overall goal of good corporate law should be to assist private parties to create wealth for themselves and the economy in a manner that does not inflict uncompensated negative externalities upon third parties. Private businesses that produce goods and services should be encouraged by the state because creating greater wealth is generally beneficial to society. Corporate law can act as a helpful precondition for faster economic growth by protecting the parties' expectations, encouraging savings and investment, reducing transaction costs, …

Symposium: International Legal Dimensions Of Art And Cultural Property, Jeffrey Schoenblum
Symposium: International Legal Dimensions Of Art And Cultural Property, Jeffrey Schoenblum
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
The market for art and cultural property is international. Demand is intense and not particularly local in terms of consumer preference. 2 Supply responds to this intense international demand. Like most anything else, art finds its way to whomever is prepared to pay for it. Regulation affects how it arrives at its ultimate destination, but generally does not prevent it from getting there. Apart from this international market, legal and policy aspects of art and cultural property have a distinctly international flavor due to historical circumstance. Since many works over time have been removed from their source by way of …
Contracting Spyware By Contract, Jane K. Winn
Contracting Spyware By Contract, Jane K. Winn
Articles
The question of what constitutes "spyware" is controversial because many programs that are adware in the eyes of their distributors may be perceived as spyware in the eyes of the end user. Many of these programs are loaded on the computers of end users after the end user has agreed to the terms of a license presented in a click-through interface.
This paper analyzes whether it might be possible to reduce the volume of unwanted software loaded on end users' computers by applying contract law doctrine more strictly. Unwanted programs are often bundled with programs that the end user wants, …
Buyers' Remedies In General And Buyers' Performance-Oriented Remedies (25th Anniversary Of The United Nations Convention On Contracts For The International Sale Of Goods), Harry Flechtner
Articles
This paper focuses on Articles 45, 46 and 28 of the CISG - provisions that, despite their importance in the substantive scheme of the Convention, have not generated a great deal of case law or controversy. Article 45, the lead provision of Section III ("Remedies for Breach of Contract by the seller") of Part III, Chapter II of the CISG, provides an overview or catalogue of an aggrieved buyer's remedies (Article 45(1)), along with a rule that coordinates buyers' remedies (Article 45(2)) and a rule of general applicability for all of the buyers' remedies (Article 45(3)). Article 46 provides for …
