Curtailing Inherited Wealth, Mark L. Ascher
Curtailing Inherited Wealth, Mark L. Ascher
Michigan Law Review
One of the most dominant themes in American ideology is equality of opportunity. In our society, ability and willingness to work hard are supposed to make all things possible. But we know there are flaws in our ideology. Differences in native ability unquestionably exist. Similarly, some people seem to have distinctly more than their fair share of good luck. Both types of differences are, however, beyond our control. So we try to convince ourselves that education evens out most differences. Still, we know there are immense differences in the values various parents imbue in their children. And we also know …
Contracts Contracts In Partial Restraint Of Trade: Restrictive Covenant Act, L. Winkleman
Contracts Contracts In Partial Restraint Of Trade: Restrictive Covenant Act, L. Winkleman
Georgia State University Law Review
The Act provides that contracts in partial restraint of trade that are reasonable are valid and enforceable. The Act establishes rules for determining when a restrictive covenant is reasonable and establishes procedures for identification, clarification and reformulation of such covenants. Courts must enforce restrictive covenants independently of the enforceability of any other covenant, or part of a covenant, contained in a non-compete agreement. A post-employment loss or forfeiture provision conditioned upon the occurrence of subsequent competition does not constitute a restraint of trade and is enforceable regardless of the unenforceability of non-compete covenants contained in the same contract.

The Impact Of U.S. Trade Law On Government Policy Making In The Republic Of China, P. K. Chiang
The Impact Of U.S. Trade Law On Government Policy Making In The Republic Of China, P. K. Chiang
Michigan Journal of International Law
Since President Reagan signed the Omnibus Trade Act on August 23, 1988, the U.S. government has completed a series of investigations according to the provisions of the Act. Consultations aimed at forcing its trading partners to adjust their trade- policies which are regarded as unfair to U.S. trade have also been held in the past ten months or so. Being one of the most important trading partners of the U.S. – both in terms of its overall trade volume and its surplus with the U.S. – the Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC) seems to have become a target of …
Pitfalls Of Public Policy: The Case Of Arbitration Agreements, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Pitfalls Of Public Policy: The Case Of Arbitration Agreements, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Scholarly Works
As the juxtaposition of these quotations suggests, judges have long held disparate views on the legitimacy and value of “public policy” considerations as a basis for legal decision making. The popular notion posits that Justice Holmes and legal realists carried the day, making public policy analysis an ordinary part of the adjudication process. The story, of course, is more complex than this legal version of Don Quixote. Many judges and lawyers, including Justice Holmes in other writings, continued to speak of adjudication in more formalist and positivist terms, with most laypersons in apparent agreement. Judge Burroughs' view of public policy …

In South Carolina alone, eighteen women who allegedly took drugs during pregnancy were indicted last summer for criminal neglect of a child or distribution of drugs to a minor.' In the only successful prosecution so far, Jennifer Johnson was convicted in Florida for delivering illegal drugs to a minor via the umbilical cord in the moment after her child was born and before the cord was clamped.2 …
