Technology Assessment And Social Control, Michael S. Baram

Faculty Scholarship

The emerging concepts of corporate responsibility and technology assessment are, to a considerable extent, responses to problems arising from technological developments and their applications by industry and government. These problems appear in the relatively discrete sectors of consumer protection and occupational safety and in the diffuse sectors of community quality of life and the national and international environments.

The Unique Problems Of The Black Businessman, Flournoy A. Coles, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Article concentrates on problems of black businessmen rather than those of all minority businessmen for 3 reasons: first, there are more statistics on the business and other aspects of black economic life than on other nonwhite minorities; secondly, the available statistics suggest that black Americans rank lowest on the totem pole of business activity in this country--lower than any other nonwhite minority except perhaps for American Indians; thirdly, many of the solutions suggested for remedying the problems of black business enterprise would apply to the similar problems that other minority groups have encountered.

An Overview Of The Laws Of Corporations, Alfred F. Conard

Michigan Law Review

During the twentieth century, legislatures found it necessary to enact great masses of additional legislation to deal with the special problems of corporations. People who worked with the entire group of relevant laws were known as "corporation lawyers." But, like Londoners, they continued to regard as "corporation laws" only those few that covered the same points embraced by the laws of the Victorian era. The others carried distinct sobriquets.

This usage leads to a confusion in speaking about the "laws of corporations," since they are so much broader than "corporation laws." It would be hard, though, for a reader to …

The Structure Of The Private Multinational Enterprise, Yitzhak Hadari

Michigan Law Review

From the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, society has experienced the persistent tendency of business organizations to expand. Businesses evolved from the rural workshop to the urban factory; from the municipal firm to the regional firm and then to the national enterprise. More recently, enterprises have expanded even further, from national firms with small export outlets to huge multinational enterprises (MNEs) embracing business operations all over the globe coordinated under a single management. Yet, along with its beneficial results for the peoples of the world, each new economic era brings with it new problems as well.

State Regulation Of Franchising: The Washington Experience, Donald S. Chisum

Washington Law Review

The successful use of franchising as an adjunct to more traditional marketing techniques by business firms seeking nationwide distribution for their products, services, and ideas has stimulated many franchisor abuses. Professor Chisum comprehensively discusses a variety of remedies available to the franchisee seeking relief from franchisor abuses, including remedies provided by the common law, federal and state securities laws, and the federal antitrust laws. The article assesses the relative success and failure of these general remedies in rectifying the specific problems of franchisor abuses. The author then critically examines the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act which was enacted in 1971 …

Corporate Contributions To Ballot-Measure Campaigns, Gail L. Achterman

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

It is not clear that the perceived dangers of corporate participation in politics are real dangers, or that outright prohibition of such participation is the best means of preserving the democratic character of the electoral process. Any controls on corporate spending in initiative campaigns should be firmly based upon articulated conceptions of the corporation's legitimate role in society. This article examines some of these conceptions and their relationship to the process of direct legislation and thereafter makes recommendations for workable controls in light of that analysis.

Passing Depreciation To Investor-Partners, Donald J. Weidner

Scholarly Publications

The partnership form is an extremely popular vehicle for raising money for real estate development because of the opportunity to offer high-bracket investors "pass through" of partnership losses. These losses, in all but the most highly leveraged partnerships, are largely the result of depreciation deductions. Despite the tremendous popularity of real estate partnerships, limitations on allocations of partnership losses or of particular items of partnership deduction, have never been carefully defined. The purpose of this article is to explore possible limitations in the context of a variety of allocation arrangements currently in use.

The Close Corporation-Comparing The Separate Statutory Treatments Of Florida, Delaware And Maryland With Virginia's Version Of The Model Act

University of Richmond Law Review

In a trend beginning before the turn of the nineteenth century and accelerating during the period after the Second World War, state corporation laws have evolved into enabling acts recognizing and catering to modem business practices The restrictions retained in these acts remain both to protect the public and balance the relationships between interested parties within the corporation. Despite these remaining restrictions, the philosophy of the modem acts is to create a climate favorable for corporate activity.

Proposed Regulation Of Limited Partnership Investment Programs, Ivan J. Schell

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Limited partners have long been admonished to scrutinize potential investments; this advice is often ignored, however, by investors eager to reap quick profits. Furthermore, the proliferation of limited partnership interests in a single enterprise diffuses the focus of investor vigilance and increases the potential for undetected abuses. Thus a need for regulation, either governmental or private, has developed. Currently the Uniform Limited Partnership Act and blue sky laws provide some control of limited partnership abuses at the state level. On the interstate level, the Midwest Securities Commissioners Association, the National Association of Securities Dealers, and the Securities and Exchange Commission …

Contract Rights And The Successor Employer: The Impact Of Burns Security, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note will only briefly discuss the implications of Burns for NLRB proceedings. Instead, the focus will be on the impact of Burns on actions to compel arbitration under section 301. Is the rationale of Burns inconsistent with the rule established in Wiley for section 301 actions? If it does not undermine Wiley, does Burns indicate when employers will be deemed successors in future actions under section 301 to compel arbitration? Before examining these questions, however, it is necessary to consider the decisions of Wiley and Burns.
