Least Cost Avoidance: The Tragedy Of Common Safety, Nuno M. Garoupa, Giuseppe Dari-Mattiacci Jan 2007

Least Cost Avoidance: The Tragedy Of Common Safety, Nuno M. Garoupa, Giuseppe Dari-Mattiacci

Faculty Scholarship

This paper shows that the least cost avoider approach in tort is not necessarily the optimal way to attain least cost avoidance when accidents can be avoided by either of two parties. When parties do not observe each other's costs of care at the time of the accident and are unable to determine which party is the least cost avoider, they fail to anticipate the outcome of the adjudication. Under these circumstances, accident avoidance becomes a commons problem because care by each individual party reduces the prospect of liability for both parties. As a result parties suboptimally invest in care. …

The Court Of Appeals For The Fifth Circuit: A Legal Analysis And Statistical Review Of 2005-2006 Insurance Decisions, Willy E. Rice Jan 2007

The Court Of Appeals For The Fifth Circuit: A Legal Analysis And Statistical Review Of 2005-2006 Insurance Decisions, Willy E. Rice

Faculty Articles

he Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decided and published twenty-four insurance-related appeals between June 2005 and May 2006 from cases originating in seven federal district courts. Like petitioners in prior years, the overwhelming majority of the 2005-2006 appellants petitioned the court of appeals to reverse or vacate district courts' adverse summary judgments as well as the lower courts' allegedly questionable interpretations of various insurance contracts. Most of the controversies involved familiar procedural and substantive questions of law, but the Fifth Circuit also decided many questions of fact. Furthermore, several preemption questions and disputes over subject matter jurisdiction appeared among the …


Thompson/Mcnulty Memo Internal Investigations: Ethical Concerns Of The Deputized Counsel, Colin P. Marks Jan 2007

Thompson/Mcnulty Memo Internal Investigations: Ethical Concerns Of The Deputized Counsel, Colin P. Marks

Faculty Articles

Outside counsel who conduct internal investigations for corporate clients have always faced ethical concerns, especially when interviewing employees. Generally, a carefully crafted blanket statement at the beginning of the interview explaining outside counsel's role was sufficient to address these concerns. However, recent charging policies adopted by the Department of Justice ("DOJ") have drastically changed the rules. These policies, articulated in what is now commonly referred to as the "Thompson Memo," after the author and then Deputy General Larry Thompson, allowed prosecutors to consider factors such as waivers of the attorney-client privilege and work-product protections and whether the company provides legal …


The Legacy Of Loving, Joanna L. Grossman, John Dewitt Gregory Jan 2007

The Legacy Of Loving, Joanna L. Grossman, John Dewitt Gregory

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

The Supreme Court sounded the death knell for anti-miscegenation laws in Loving v. Virginia in 1967. This essay, published in honor of Loving's fortieth anniversary, considers the personal, cultural, and legal legacy of the decision, which brought an abrupt end to the practice of outlawing interracial marriage. But since those laws were already on the way out at the time Loving was decided, its legacy must be constructed by looking more broadly at its impact on American law and society. That exploration reveals first a powerful personal legacy for Mildred and Richard Loving, who were permitted to return to Virginia …


Gambling, Commodity Speculation, And The 'Victorian Compromise', Joshua C. Tate Jan 2007

Gambling, Commodity Speculation, And The 'Victorian Compromise', Joshua C. Tate

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

This Essay examines two major strands of nineteenth-century jurisprudence related to gambling: Southern cases defining public and private space for the purpose of state gambling statutes, and Northern cases applying the intent to deliver test to speculative contracts. The Essay argues that both lines of cases reflect what Lawrence Friedman has termed the Victorian compromise: A strong official stance against immoral behavior is conjoined with de facto acceptance of many questionable practices, provided that they are conducted in a manner acceptable to the elite. The Essay concludes that nineteenth-century judges sought to preserve the semblance of a strict prohibition against …


Institutional Review Boards, Regulatory Incentives, And Some Modest Proposals For Reform, Dale Carpenter Jan 2007

Institutional Review Boards, Regulatory Incentives, And Some Modest Proposals For Reform, Dale Carpenter

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

It is time to rethink the role of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) in approving social science research. While most law professors conduct their research in an almost unregulated environment - pouring through cases, statutes, and each other's articles, all without the kind of human interaction subject to IRB regulation - their colleagues elsewhere in the university have been coping for decades with an increasingly intrusive bureaucracy that sometimes undermines basic academic values. Three things seem very clear. First, there are a lot of IRBs - at least 4,000 - and their numbers are growing. Second, they have recently "increased their …
