How California Governs The News Media, Jon H. Sylvester

While California legislation is generally regarded as progressive, it is not immediately clear what "progressive" means when such democratic values as the right to information and the right to privacy conflict.

The topics discussed herein are defamation, invasion of privacy, cameras in the courtroom, shield law (or "reporter's privilege"), publication of recorded conversations and pilfered documents, and legislation regarding open meetings …

An Appreciative Comment On Coase's The Problem Of Social Cost: A View From The Left, Pierre Schlag Jan 1986

An Appreciative Comment On Coase's The Problem Of Social Cost: A View From The Left, Pierre Schlag

Publications

Professor Coase's article, The Problem of Social Cost, played a significant role in launching the law and economics movement.

Of Lollipops And Law -- A Proposal For A National Policy Concerning Tender Offer Defenses, Ted J. Fiflis

The Delaware Supreme Court upheld Unocal's use of this defense as an appropriate exercise of business judgment. A federal district court in California refused to strike down the lollipop under federal law …
