Digital Handshakes In Cyberspace Under E-Sign: "There's A New Sheriff In Town!", Michael H. Dessent
Digital Handshakes In Cyberspace Under E-Sign: "There's A New Sheriff In Town!", Michael H. Dessent
University of Richmond Law Review
Without doubt, electronic commerce has increased the efficiency of businesses and consumers seeking to purchase goods, services, or intangibles by placing these objects just a keystroke away. If you already enjoy buying lingerie and foie gras over the Internet, you will love the new Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act ("E-SIGN") Want to borrow $10,000 at four in the morning over the Internet to buy a car? E-SIGN allows it. Or how about entering a "cybersigning chat room," extending a "digital handshake," and then buying that cherished wedding gown? E-SIGN allows this to happen. In this era of …

Civil Procedure By Contract: A Convoluted Confluence Of Private Contract And Public Procedure In Need Of Congressional Control, David H. Taylor, Sara M. Cliffe
University of Richmond Law Review
There is great appeal to the notion that parties to a contract may provide in their agreement for how certain aspects of any dispute that may subsequently arise will be resolved. The appeal is so great, in fact, that both parties and courts have embraced the use and enforcement of pre-litigation agreements ("PLAs"). These agreements take a variety of forms. Parties may agree to the forum in which their dispute will be resolved. They may designate the law that will be applied to the resolution of the dispute. Parties may designate what evidence may or may not be presented as …
The Signaling Model Of Social Norms: Further Thoughts, Eric A. Posner
The Signaling Model Of Social Norms: Further Thoughts, Eric A. Posner
University of Richmond Law Review
One of the most notable trends in legal scholarship is the explosion of writing on social norms. Just a few years ago one might have argued that the scholarship was marginal, of interest to only a handful of law professors, but expressions of skepticism about the value of this scholarship have become rare. At the same time, it would be wrong to say that "law and social norms" ("LSN") is a movement or school within legal scholarship: the writings about this topic are too diverse, and there is little of that sense of forward movement that is characteristic of more …
The Strategic Alternative: How State Takings Statutes May Resolve The Unanswered Questions Of Palazzolo, Michael A. Culpepper
The Strategic Alternative: How State Takings Statutes May Resolve The Unanswered Questions Of Palazzolo, Michael A. Culpepper
University of Richmond Law Review
In a world of "Hobbesian stick[s]" and "Lockean bundle[s]," analytical confusion should be expected. Indeed, critics describe the world of federal takings jurisprudence as "an unworkable muddle," as "a jumble of confusing holdings," and as a body of law existing in "doctrinal and conceptual disarray." Since the United States Supreme Court first considered the regulatory takings issue in Mugler v. Kansas, the Court's inconsistent application of the doctrine has largely conformed to criticism. Governed by abstruse metaphors' and ad hoc analysis, the Court acknowledges its imprecision 9 and often relies upon it.

Redistricting In A Post-Shaw Era: A Small Treatise Accompanied By Districting Guidelines For Legislators, Litigants, And Courts, Katharine Inglis Butler
University of Richmond Law Review
Legislators in jurisdictions with even modest minority populations will find adopting a challenge-resistant redistricting plan to be more difficult than ever before. The problem is how much consideration to give to race. Too little consideration may produce a plan subject to challenge under the Voting Rights Act (the "Act"). Too much consideration may produce a plan subject to challenge on constitutional grounds.

A Matter Of Normative Judgment: Brentwood And The Emergence Of The "Pervasive Entwinement" Test, Michael A. Culpepper
University of Richmond Law Review
The Fourteenth Amendment remains the great Rorschach test of one's underlying jurisprudential beliefs. For those of a "progressive" bent, the amendment is a "sweeping mandate," while those more inclined toward powdered wigs and judicial formalism criticize the amendment as an instrument of "freewheeling judicial] lawmaking." It is a philosophical impasse, one that centers around the apparently ambiguous prohibition against deprivations of due process and denials of equal protection. Unfortunately, the strictures from the high court and Congress remain equally ambiguous-particularly in the realm of state action. Metaphors, such as "winks and nods," "sifting facts and weighing circumstances " and "under …

Predicting Defection, Elmer J. Shaefer
University of Richmond Law Review
Eric Posner's cooperation theory of social norms develops from rational choice theory an austere and powerful explanation of why people comply with social norms. He illustrates his theory with subtle analysis of a number of legal issues. The book will help anyone influenced by law and economics to incorporate into her thinking the work in sociology, psychology, and ethics that bears on human behavior. Most readers will find applications for Posner's theory.

Factual Causation In Toxic Tort Litigation: A Philosophical View Of Proof And Certainty In Uncertain Disciplines, Danielle Conway-Jones
University of Richmond Law Review
The headline reads: "Town clenched in suffocating grip of as- bestos: W.R. Grace & Co. closed its vermiculite mine in Libby, Mont[ana], 10 years ago, but hazardous material was embedded in the ore. Experts attribute many cases of lung disease to what they call secondary exposure." Lately, exposure to toxic substances and harm to human health and the environment have become the norm, not the exception. Within the United States and its territories alone, environmental groups, as well as individuals, have documented the proliferation of harmful exposure to toxic substances from as far away as Kaho'olawe, Hawai'i, to as close …

This, the ninth annual Allen Chair Symposium issue of the University of Richmond Law Review, includes four spirited articles centered around the Symposium's 2001 topic: Lawyer Advertising in the Electronic Age. Rodney A. Smolla, in The Puffery of Lawyers, argues that there are many reasons why bar regulators around the nation should cease restricting lawyer advertising in the absence of evidence that such puffery confuses or misleads consumers. In Change is in the Air: Lawyer Advertising and the Internet, Louise L. Hill examines the current and future status of lawyers using cyberspace to promote their services. William E. Hornsby, Jr., …

The Puffery Of Lawyers, Rodney A. Smolla
University of Richmond Law Review
Lawyers advertise to attract clients. Politicians advertise to attract voters. Businesses advertise to attract customers. All of these advertisers advertise with a common subtext: choose me, because I'm better than the rest. Hire me, vote for me, buy my product, and good things will happen. The message may be blunt, explicit, direct, linear. But often it is not. The bludgeon is not the tool of choice in modem mass advertising. The message, more commonly, is presented with subtlety, often merely suggested, often presented with indirection, irony, camp, or comedy. Information as such is not the point. The stuff of modern …

Change Is In The Air: Lawyer Advertising And The Internet, Louise L. Hill
University of Richmond Law Review
Today, virtually all the large law firms, as well as most of the small firms, have Web sites. These sites established by law firms vary considerably, with many containing a great deal of material that is informational in nature. When considering whether state ethics rules are applicable to lawyer communications on the Internet, an initial question is whether the communication is commercial speech. Regulations on advertising and solicitation that impose restrictions on commercial speech are limited to speech of that kind. This notwithstanding, states have uniformly held that these communications are subject to regulation under their respective rules governing lawyer …
Ad Rules Infinitum: The Need For Alternatives To State-Based Ethics Governing Legal Services Marketing, William E. Hornsby Jr.
Ad Rules Infinitum: The Need For Alternatives To State-Based Ethics Governing Legal Services Marketing, William E. Hornsby Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
For most of the Twentieth Century, lawyer advertising was prohibited. Beginning with the Canons of Ethics ("Canons"), adopted by the American Bar Association (the "ABA" or "Association") in 1908, it was unethical for lawyers to advertise or engage in most forms of marketing. The 1977 United States Supreme Court decision of Bates v. State Bar of Arizona held that, under the First Amendment doctrine of commercial speech, states did not have the right to ban lawyer advertising. The decision, however, gave states the responsibility to regulate this activity. This began an experiment to balance consumer protection with the flow of …
Lawyer Advertising And The Philosophical Origins Of The Commercial Speech Doctrine, Ronald D. Rotunda
Lawyer Advertising And The Philosophical Origins Of The Commercial Speech Doctrine, Ronald D. Rotunda
University of Richmond Law Review
The topic of lawyers advertising for clients seems prosaic enough, but it is really a subset of a much larger, more theoretical question. What Americans think about the Constitutional right of lawyers to advertise and market their services both reflects and molds what we think about the right to be left alone. In 1928, Justice Brandeis, in his famous dissent in Olmstead v. United States, wrote that our Constitution "conferred, as against the Government, the right to be left alone-the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men." Justice Brandeis did not speak in a vacuum; …
