Private Practice, Public Profession: Convictions, Commitments, And The Availability Of Counsel, Barry Sullivan

West Virginia Law Review

I would like to start by stating a proposition that may strike you as either simple-minded or self-evident, but, more likely, will simply seem strange because of the way in which I state it. My proposition is this: In a democratic society, the legal profession, its rights and privileges, exist to serve public purposes. The legal profession serves two principal public purposes: to provide representation to those who lack the specialized training to represent themselves, that is, non-lawyers, and to promote justice in society. One might object that representing clients is not a public purpose, but that, I would suggest, …

Absolute Priority, Valuation Uncertainty, And The Reorganization Bargain, Donald S. Bernstein, Douglas G. Baird

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

In a Chapter 11 reorganization, senior creditors are entitled to insist upon being paid in full before anyone junior to them receives anything. In practice, however, departures from such "absolute priority" are commonplace. Explaining these deviations has been a central preoccupation of reorganization scholars for decades. By the standard law-and-economics account, deviations from absolute priority arise because well-positioned insiders take advantage of cumbersome procedures and inept judges. In this paper, we suggest that a far simpler and more benign force dominates bargaining in reorganization cases. “Deviations” from absolute priority are inevitable even in a world completely committed to respecting priority …

Bankruptcy Filing Rates After A Major Hurricane, Robert M. Lawless

Nevada Law Journal

Twelve to thirty-six months after a major hurricane, bankruptcy filing rates increase for affected areas. The Article draws that conclusion by examining all eighteen hurricanes that hit the fifty United States between 1980 and 2004 and that caused $1 billion or more in damages. Despite substantial limitations in the data that would obscure all but the strongest relationships, distinct patterns emerge. Although further empirical analyses should be done, these findings suggest that Congress should except victims of hurricanes and other natural disasters from recent legislation that will make it more difficult to get bankruptcy relief Because higher bankruptcy filing rates …

Justice Miriam Shearing: Nevada's Trailblazing Minimalist, Mary Berkheiser

Nevada Law Journal

Nevada Supreme Court Justice Miriam Shearing retired at the end of her second term on January 4, 2005. Over the nearly thirty years of her very public life on the bench, many have ,written of her accomplishments as the first woman to enter the brotherhood of the Nevada judiciary.' With Justice Shearing's retirement, the time is ripe for an examination of her judicial decisions during the twelve years she served on the Nevada Supreme Court. The analysis here provides one perspective on her body of work. It begins, as it must, with a glimpse into the person behind the work.

Keyword-Linked Advertising, Trademark Infringement, And Google’S Contributory Liability, Benjamin Aitken

Duke Law & Technology Review

A number of trademark holders have recently challenged the policies of Google and other Internet search engines that allow the trademark owner's competitors to purchase advertising space linked specifically to the owner's trademarks when entered as search terms. This iBrief examines the application of trademark law to this practice and concludes that Google would be contributorially liable for trademark infringement only when the advertising links lead to consumer confusion about the identity of the advertiser.
