Proactive Legislation And The First Amendment, Stuart Minor Benjamin
Proactive Legislation And The First Amendment, Stuart Minor Benjamin
Michigan Law Review
It is a commonplace that the world is changing rapidly, with whole sectors of the economy being transformed. New forms of communication, like the World Wide Web, e-mail, and satellite television, have risen from obscurity to ubiquity in less than a decade. The speed of these changes has led some to express concern about the ability of governments to respond. The fear is that governments cannot keep up with developments as they occur and thus get hopelessly behind. The solution, according to some, is for the government to act proactively - before a harm has arisen, so that the government …
Connecting Regulations And Competition Law: A Swiss Perspective On Liberalization, Christian Bovet, Philippe Gugler
Connecting Regulations And Competition Law: A Swiss Perspective On Liberalization, Christian Bovet, Philippe Gugler
Law and Contemporary Problems
It is debated whether it is possible to liberalize markets successfully by means of introducing unrestrained competition only, or whether it is necessary to have regulators to supervise the opening of markets in adversarial administrative proceedings. Switzerland's problems and solutions in regards to the liberalization of its telecommunications industry are described.
Opting Out Of Regulation: A Public Choice Analysis Of Contractual Choice Of Law, Erin A. O'Hara
Opting Out Of Regulation: A Public Choice Analysis Of Contractual Choice Of Law, Erin A. O'Hara
Vanderbilt Law Review
This Article uses public choice theory to analyze the function of choice-of-law clauses in contracts. Choice-of-law clauses are now quite common and are increasingly enforced, especially with the proliferation of international and Internet transactions. Because these clauses can be used by parties to avoid regulation, academics are now vigorously debating the extent to which this contractual opt out should be permitted. The Article presents a positive political theory of the interplay of legislative action and the enforcement of choice of law. It demonstrates that the important normative debate over choice of law is somewhat misguided because both sides fail to …
Premises For Reforming The Regulation Of Securities Offerings: An Essay, James D. Cox
Premises For Reforming The Regulation Of Securities Offerings: An Essay, James D. Cox
Law and Contemporary Problems
Cox discusses six fundamental tenets that should guide the regulation of public offerings of securities. It is assumed that regulation is to be re-examined from the ground up, with no political or regulatory constraints.
Telemedicine: Rx For The Future Of Health Care, Susan E. Volkert
Telemedicine: Rx For The Future Of Health Care, Susan E. Volkert
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
Quite simply, telemedicine symbolizes and catalyzes the clash between the reality of our legal and political approach to health care and the American dream of bringing health care to all patients. Telemedicine, like our health care delivery systems, is regulated by many layers of government. Unlike other issues, telemedicine cuts through and challenges the traditional controls of access and cost. As such, telemedicine is a microcosm of our health care delivery system and a lens through which one may analyze the obstacles to access in the current system. This article examines these issues, proposes that telemedicine's goal should be to …

Climbing The Walls Of Your Electronic Cage, Steven Hetcher
Climbing The Walls Of Your Electronic Cage, Steven Hetcher
Michigan Law Review
Space. The final frontier. Not so, say the doyennes of the firstgeneration Internet community, who view themselves as the new frontiersmen and women staking out a previously unexplored territory - cyberspace. Numerous metaphors in the Internet literature picture cyberspace as a new, previously unexplored domain. Parallels are frequently drawn to the American colonies, the Western frontier, or outer space. In Code: And Other Laws of Cyberspace, Lawrence Lessig says, "Cyberspace is a place. People live there." In this place, we will build a "new society" (p. 4). A sense of this background is helpful in appraising Lessig's claims. He argues …

Online Auction Fraud: Are The Auction Houses Doing All They Should Or Could To Stop Online Fraud?, James M. Snyder
Online Auction Fraud: Are The Auction Houses Doing All They Should Or Could To Stop Online Fraud?, James M. Snyder
Federal Communications Law Journal
In April 1998, the FTC released a consumer alert pertaining to the increasing problem of online auction fraud. As the number of online auction participants increased, online auction fraud was becoming more prevalent. The FTC requested comments regarding methods that would be appropriate for curbing the increase in consumer deception. Many in the online auction industry proposed voluntary self-regulation. This Note exposes the inadequacy of industry self-regulation by analogizing online auction abuse with the misuse and near downfall of the 900-number industry. This Note proposes that only a regime of strict industry guidelines that the FTC initiates will halt online …
Bargaining Theory And Regulatory Reform: The Political Logic Of Inefficient Regulation, David B. Spence, Lekha Gopalakrishnan
Bargaining Theory And Regulatory Reform: The Political Logic Of Inefficient Regulation, David B. Spence, Lekha Gopalakrishnan
Vanderbilt Law Review
In this Article David Spence and Lekha Gopalakrishnan pro- pose a new understanding of regulatory bargaining. Economists and others have long argued that the American regulatory system is unnecessarily inefficient. Critics charge that the system is both substantively inefficient, in that it sometimes mandates the use of inefficient means for achieving a regulatory goal, and procedurally inefficient, in its over-reliance on rules. These arguments have led to a wave of regulatory reform experiments in the federal bureaucracy, many of which seek to promote positive-sum changes in regulatory policy through bargaining among private- and public-sector stakeholders. As several commentators have noted, …

Planning For High Net-Worth U.S. Persons Through The Use Of Offshore Life Insurance, J. Richard Duke
Planning For High Net-Worth U.S. Persons Through The Use Of Offshore Life Insurance, J. Richard Duke
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
Sophisticated planning for the high net-worth United States citizens often includes the use of offshore variable life insurance. Such leading edge planning is accomplished through structures that provide income, gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer tax planning not available domestically. In addition to providing sophisticated tax and estate planning benefits, variable life insurance policies issued by foreign-based carriers have numerous economic advantages.
The New Chemical Weapons Convention And Export Controls: Towards Greater Multilateralism, Urs A. Cipolat
The New Chemical Weapons Convention And Export Controls: Towards Greater Multilateralism, Urs A. Cipolat
Michigan Journal of International Law
The article is structured in five parts. Section I gives an overview of the history of the CWC. Section II focuses on the CWC' s material scope. This discussion is important in order to determine the items that will fall under an eventual export control obligation. Section III presents the main obligations under the CWC, while Section IV deals exclusively with the specific obligations pertaining to export controls. The implementation of these specific obligations-which, for the purposes of this article, are referred to as transfer rules-is the focus of Section V.

On The Frontier Of Procedural Innovation: Advance Pricing Agreements And The Struggle To Allocate Income For Cross Border Taxation, Diane M. Ring
On The Frontier Of Procedural Innovation: Advance Pricing Agreements And The Struggle To Allocate Income For Cross Border Taxation, Diane M. Ring
Michigan Journal of International Law
This paper outlines a recent procedural innovation in the tax area, the Advance Pricing Agreement Program ("APA" program), and evaluates its success. Such a case study can play a significant role in linking procedural innovation to the broader issues of administrative law theory and regulatory reform. For example, a working model such as the APA program, built on flexibility and creativity, may support administrative theories advocating discretion, flexibility, and experimentation. Conversely, some interest group theories of regulation (e.g., public choice theory), can prompt critical examination of reforms like APAs that exhibit limited openness to scrutiny. The APA program is an …
The New Rules On Cross-Border Tender And Exchange Offers, Business Combinations And Rights Offerings: Competition Or Harmonization?, Julian T. Perlmutter
The New Rules On Cross-Border Tender And Exchange Offers, Business Combinations And Rights Offerings: Competition Or Harmonization?, Julian T. Perlmutter
Michigan Journal of International Law
This note introduces the Cross-Border Rules in the context of the rapidly changing securities markets and highly competitive regulatory systems noted above. It addresses the elements and impact of internationalization on cross-border tender offers and the modern U.S. regulatory response. The SEC has avoided any public moves to harmonize the U.S. system with those of other major capital markets and has instead made incremental changes aimed at maintaining the system's perceived strengths. The Cross-Border Rules represent a somewhat ungainly attempt to placate U.S. investors by bending the Williams Act tender offer rules using exemptions for certain transactions.
Massachusetts, Myanmar, Market Participation, And The Federal Shutdown Of Selective Purchasing Laws: Is The Power To Purchase Really The Power To Regulate , Scott Sommers
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
This article does not discuss whether intentionally giving companies an incentive to withdraw from Burma is economically or politically desirable for the people of Burma. The First Circuit did not concern itself with this subject either in rejecting the Massachusetts Burma Law. The question of interest to the court, and which should be of interest to any state citizen or global corporation interested in doing business with state agencies, was whether Massachusetts had the discretion to make a purchasing law directly concerning the business involvement of suppliers in foreign countries. While legitimate legal and practical arguments may be made that …
