The Meaning Of "Medicare-For-All", Isaac ("Zack") D. Buck

Scholarly Works

Medicare-for-All proposals are heralded for the guarantee of additional coverage they provide, moving health insurance in the United States from nearly universal to completely universal. Indeed, if Medicare is known for something, it is the guarantee of access to health insurance it provides. Since its inception, the Medicare program has provided universal coverage to Americans aged 65 and older—a population that is both expensive to cover and often most in need of high-quality health care. But Medicare is more than that. While Medicare has become the program that guarantees coverage to an entire subset of American citizens, it has also …

(In)Formal Marriage Equality, Michael Higdon

College of Law Faculty Scholarship

In 2015, same-sex couples throughout the United States obtained formal marriage equality. But is the prospective ability to obtain marriage licenses sufficient to achieve Obergefell’s promise of equality? What about individuals whose same-sex relationship did not survive — either through death or dissolution — to see marriage equality become the law of the land? Or those who did ultimately wed but now have a marriage that appears to be artificially short when considering just how long the couple has actually been together in a marriage-like relationship? With marriage benefits conditioned not only on the fact of marriage but also the …

Tired Of Looking Gray And Boring Online? A Simple 3-Camera Tv Studio/Classroom For Lively Online Teaching, Glenn Harlan Reynolds

Scholarly Works

Tired of the dreary webcam-look in my online classroom, I created a fairly simple and reasonably inexpensive three-camera studio using real video cameras for online teaching. This paper outlines how it was done, and provides suggestions for simpler, cheaper alternatives that are still far superior to traditional webcam approaches.

Organizational Justice And Antidiscrimination, Brad Areheart

Scholarly Works

Despite eighty years of governmental interventions, the legal system has proven ill-equipped to address workplace discrimination. Potential plaintiffs are reluctant to file discrimination claims for a host of social and economic reasons, and the relatively few who do file face steep structural barriers. This Article argues that the most promising way to curb workplace discrimination is not through amending statutes or trying to change the behavior of individual bad actors; instead, we must modify the workplace itself. Specifically, this Article argues that Organizational Justice — a theory empirically grounded in behavioral science — provides novel guidance for how to proactively …

What Is A Merger Anyway?, Don Leatherman, Joan Macleod Heminway, Thomas E. Plank

Scholarly Works

Three law professors from different practice and academic backgrounds meet at the water cooler in the faculty wing of a law school in or about 2010. They get engaged in a conversation about mergers and acquisitions that covers much ground--from what a merger actually is (from the perspective of their distinctive areas of legal experience and expertise--business associations, federal income tax, and property law) to factors each believe to be important in choosing a transactional structure for a business combination. This edited panel discussion from the 2019 Business Law Prof Blog symposium, held at The University of Tennessee College of …

Criminalizing Immigrant Entrepreneurs (And Their Lawyers), Eric Franklin Amarante

Scholarly Works

To escape the harsh conditions of work in agriculture or food processing plants, many undocumented immigrants turn to entrepreneurship for safer working conditions and better economic prospects. Transactional lawyers often help these entrepreneurs form limited liability companies or worker cooperatives. Unfortunately, this simple act might expose these lawyers to criminal liability. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) prohibits anyone from encouraging an undocumented person to reside in the United States. This prohibition has been construed to include everything from employing undocumented housekeepers to procuring falsified documents for citizenship applications, and some courts have even suggested that the …

The Drug (Pricing) Wars: States, Preemption, And Unsustainable Prices, Isaac ("Zack") D. Buck

Scholarly Works

It is no secret: the prices of prescription drugs in the United States are unsustainable. A piercing example of the limits of America’s incomplete and disordered health care non-system, the crisis has only worsened in recent years. And not only do drug prices exact a toll on America’s consumers, they impact Americans’ access to life-enhancing (and sometimes life-saving) drugs. They constitute a real and present threat to the quality of health care in the United States in 2020.

Recognizing this harm, states are increasingly operating in this space, seeking diverse regulatory solutions to better protect their citizens — from gouging …
