Are Illinois Courts Still Champions Of Fiduciary Duties?, Charles W. Murdock, Michael Huiras Jan 2024

Are Illinois Courts Still Champions Of Fiduciary Duties?, Charles W. Murdock, Michael Huiras

Faculty Publications & Other Works

Illinois courts have departed from the corporate-law jurisprudence that traditionally served as a champion of fiduciary duties. Historically, Illinois courts have consistently protected minority shareholders and punished directors and those in control for engaging in unfaithful, abusive, and deceitful behavior. In recent years, however, the Illinois Supreme Court has taken a technical approach to fiduciary duties, resulting in wrongdoers getting away with unconscionable conduct. First, this Article will demonstrate why Illinois has historically been characterized as a “shareholder” state by comparing the Illinois and Delaware corporate statutes and examining Illinois courts’ favorable fiduciary duty jurisprudence. In the latter half of …


Defense Against The Dark Arts: The Diversity Rationale And The Failed Affirmative Defense Of Affirmative Action, Sheldon Bernard Lyke Jan 2024

Defense Against The Dark Arts: The Diversity Rationale And The Failed Affirmative Defense Of Affirmative Action, Sheldon Bernard Lyke

Faculty Publications & Other Works

Over the past forty years, affirmative action advocates have participated in a defensive campaign where they have admitted that affirmative action is a form of justified discrimination. This Article finds this a dangerous strategy because it allows for the practice of misguided beliefs about race and remedies for racism. When schools fail to fight the pernicious perception that affirmative action is a racial preference, they allow the bulk of society to participate in the belief that there are no other remedial justifications for affirmative action-like remedying an institution's history of discrimination, or curing a school's present and ongoing discrimination by …


Addressing Ip And Technology Challenges To Pandemic Protection: A Need For Global Coordination To Promote National Security, Cynthia M. Ho Jan 2024

Addressing Ip And Technology Challenges To Pandemic Protection: A Need For Global Coordination To Promote National Security, Cynthia M. Ho

Faculty Publications & Other Works

This Artie!£ argues that effective national security mandates protection against the spread of infectious diseases, which requires addressing intellectual property (IP) and technology obstacles. Without modification, IP laws can bar the manufacture of needed treatments by anyone besides the IP owner and its licensees. Although there was some recognition during the COVID-19 pandemic that existing IP laws should be modified, there was strong resistance not only by IP-owning companies, but also by individual countries that impeded the ability to manufac­ture needed vaccines during the height of the pandemic. Many global leaders have recognized that future pandemics are inevitabw and that …


Coastal Conflict: How International Law Addresses China's Claims In The South China Sea, Madeline H. Broshears Jan 2024

Coastal Conflict: How International Law Addresses China's Claims In The South China Sea, Madeline H. Broshears

Tenor of Our Times

The South China Sea is home to natural resources and reefs that benefit its surrounding states. International law divides these waters to grant certain rights to each coastal state so as to ensure fair distribution of the waters. As of late, China’s actions in the South China Sea frequently violate the distribution of waters under international law. They have infringed upon the Philippine’s waters and attempted to establish authority over most of the South China Sea, rather than remaining within their own waters. Thus, the Philippines filed arbitration against China, and the ruling rebuked China’s behavior in the South China …


From Streets To Stats: A Statistical Analysis Of The Quantity Of Illegal Narcotics Seized In The United States, Zachary T. Strickland Jan 2024

From Streets To Stats: A Statistical Analysis Of The Quantity Of Illegal Narcotics Seized In The United States, Zachary T. Strickland

Tenor of Our Times

This study aims to determine how seven different variables affect the total quantity of illegal narcotics seized. These seven variables include four dichotomous and three continuous variables, each striving to teach readers how they relate to the quantity of narcotics seized across specific states. My goal for this project is to figure out if there is any relationship to help law enforcement fight the war on drugs. With the continuing apparent rise of this war, this study is crucial in determining potential relationships between a state's characteristics and the quantity of illegal narcotics they forcibly take possession of. I further …

Minutes Are Worth The Minutes: Good Documentation Practices Improve Board Deliberations And Reduce Regulatory And Litigation Risk, Given As The 21st Annual Destefano Lecture, Leo E. Strine Jr.

Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law

This Essay, originally the basis for the 21st Annual Albert A. DeStefano Lecture on Corporate, Securities & Financial Law given on February 27, 2024, at Fordham University School of Law, addresses the importance of good corporate minuting and board documentation practices. Using lessons from Delaware cases where the quality of these practices has determined the outcome of motions and cases, this Essay identifies effective and efficient practices to better address this decidedly not sexy, but unquestionably essential, corporate governance task. The recent Delaware cases underscore the importance of quality and timely documentation of board decision-making, the material benefits of doing …


Corporate Esg Falls Short: Systemic Anti-Black Racism And Inequality Should Be Addressed Through A Cumulative Integrated Approach, Ferrell L. Littlejohn Jan 2024

Corporate Esg Falls Short: Systemic Anti-Black Racism And Inequality Should Be Addressed Through A Cumulative Integrated Approach, Ferrell L. Littlejohn

Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law

In the 1896 case Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court endorsed the “separate but equal” doctrine, essentially codifying racial segregation. This decision guaranteed that systemic racism would permeate every fabric of society despite the abolition of slavery. Recently, many corporate institutions have pledged to actively support the fight against systemic racism through their environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) initiatives. Corporate stakeholders have actively advocated for these initiatives, particularly in response to recent scholarship revealing the significant involvement of capitalist institutions in historical slavery, and the continued perpetuation of anti-Black racism. Nevertheless, such initiatives, for example, internal diversity, equity, and …

Obesity Management Guideline For The Correctional Setting, Rumi Y. Sato Jan 2024

Obesity Management Guideline For The Correctional Setting, Rumi Y. Sato

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Scholarly Projects - Archive

Obesity can cause multiple chronic conditions, including cancer and death. Los Angeles jail primary care clinics do not address obesity management despite health hazards, rising costs, and high obesity rates in correctional facilities. The Centers for Medicare and Medical Services (CMS) obesity-management guidelines are over ten years old and outdated. The aim of this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project was to update the CMS obesity-management guideline with the newest intense behavioral therapy (IBT) evidence to assist the correctional multidisciplinary healthcare team. This project took place in a Los Angeles correctional facility's primary care clinic. A detailed literature review gathered …
