The Tell-All Hurler: Jim Bouton And "Ball Four", Mitchell J. Nathanson

Mitchell J Nathanson

This chapter examines whether the information released within Bouton's "Ball Four" constituted legally protectable infomation and whether Major League Baseball (MLB) could have sought legal recourse as a result of the release of the book. This chapter concludes that while the "secrets" revealed by Bouton most likely did not constitute trade secrets, they may nevertheless still have been protectable under a lesser classification of commercial information. As such, MLB may have been able to pursue a case against Bouton for a possible breach of his fiduciary duty of loyalty to his employer.

Mechanisms For Addressing Third Party Impacts Resulting From Voluntary Water Transfers, Vernon L. Smith, James J. Murphy, Ariel Dinar, Richard E. Howitt, Erin Mastrangelo, Stephen Rassenti

Vernon L. Smith

This paper uses laboratory experiments to test alternative water market institutions designed to protect third party interests. The institutions tested include taxing mechanisms that raise revenue to compensate affected third parties and a market in which third parties actively participate. The results indicate that there are some important trade-offs in selecting a policy option. Active third party participation in the market is likely to result in free riding that may erode some or all of the efficiency gains, and may introduce volatility into the market. Taxing transfers and compensating third parties offers a promising balance of efficiency, equity and market …

He then moves into a discussion of the current law surrounding the technology and different theories of liability, including tort theories. His approach is …

Regulatory Mismatch In The International Market For Legal Services, Carole Silver

Carole Silver

The increasingly international reach of law owes part of its momentum to individual lawyers and law firms that function as carriers of ideas, processes and policies.
