If They Just Weren't So Rich!, Anja Mihr Sep 2009

If They Just Weren't So Rich!, Anja Mihr

Human Rights & Human Welfare

The deadliest war on earth-as it is called-in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) will only end when the country's richness fades or is kept under surveillance. Human rights and peace might have a chance if Congo's lucrative diamond, gold or coltan mines were under shared control by non-profit agencies or international organizations with the intention to spread the mines' benefits and wealth among the Congolese people. Wishful thinking? Most likely it is, but what other alternative is there? The country's extraordinary wealth in natural resources is the main reason for the immense corruption, the extermination of entire villages, the …

Canceling The Deal: Two Models Of Material Adverse Change Clauses In Business Combination Agreements, Robert T. Miller Sep 2009

Canceling The Deal: Two Models Of Material Adverse Change Clauses In Business Combination Agreements, Robert T. Miller

Cardozo Law Review

In any large corporate acquisition, there is a delay between the time the parties enter into a merger agreement and the time the transaction is effected and the purchase price is paid. One effect of this delay is that the business or financial condition of one of the parties may deteriorate before the deal closes. When this happens to the target in a cash deal or to either party in a stock deal, the counterparty may conclude that the transaction is no longer attractive. Merger agreements typically protect counterparties against such contingencies through material adverse change (MAC) clauses. Under the …

Tyrannophobia, Eric A. Posner, Adrian Vermeule Sep 2009

Tyrannophobia, Eric A. Posner, Adrian Vermeule

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Tyrannophobia—the fear of dictatorship—is a dominant theme in American political discourse. Yet dictatorship has never existed in the United States or even been likely. The hypothesis that tyrannophobia itself has prevented dictatorship from occurring is implausible; better evidence exists for alternative hypotheses. We conclude that tyrannophobia is an irrational political attitude that has interfered with, and continues to interfere with, needed institutional reform.


Maybe Dick Speidel Was Right About Court Adjustment, Robert A. Hillman Sep 2009

Maybe Dick Speidel Was Right About Court Adjustment, Robert A. Hillman

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

In a symposium to honor Professor Richard Speidel, a giant in the field of contract and commercial law for over four decades, this contribution argues that Speidel may have been correct in asserting that, in limited circumstances, court adjustment of disrupted long-term contracts makes sense. I assert that nothing courts have decided or writers have analyzed since the ALCOA case proves that court adjustment is wrong-headed. But, as with so many policy issues, we may never identify the "best" judicial approach to disrupted long-term contracts because resolution depends on too many variables and unknowns.
