Conceptualizing Disability Discrimination, Michael C. Harper May 2010

Conceptualizing Disability Discrimination, Michael C. Harper

Faculty Scholarship

In a series of law review articles written over the past decade, Professor Bagenstos has established himself as the preeminent academic voice on disability discrimination law. Indeed, the transferable utility of the conceptual insights developed and applied in these articles, in my view, warrants a claim for Bagenstos as the most important scholar of the decade in the general field of employment discrimination law. Anyone with a serious intellectual interest in discrimination law who has not read Bagenstos’s articles should take the occasion of the publication of this pithy and trenchant little volume to familiarize themselves with Bagenstos’s analysis of …

The Financial Crisis And The Future Of Law And Economics, Wladimir D. Kraus Mar 2010

The Financial Crisis And The Future Of Law And Economics, Wladimir D. Kraus

Wladimir D. Kraus

A Failure of Capitalism is a multifaceted contribution to our understanding of the Great Recession. But, due to its overwhelmingly macroeconomic character and substance, the nuanced approach of the law and economics scholarship is virtually absent, and so is any plausible explanation of the financial crisis that touched off the great recession. This is puzzling, because attention to the economic consequences of the law seems to provide a much more powerful framework for understanding what caused the financial collapse, and it is a natural approach for scholars of law and economics to pursue.

Book Review: Reviewing Part Iii Of Innovation For The 21st Century: Harnessing The Power Of Intellectual Property And Antitrust Law, Dennis D. Crouch

Faculty Publications

I have very much enjoyed reading Professor Michael Carrier's important new book on the intersection of law and innovation, and greatly appreciate his contributions to the field. In this short essay, I will focus my discussion on my sole area of expertise—patent law. Carrier takes-on the subject of patents in Part III of his book. I agree with most of what Carrier writes. To make this essay more interesting, I focus on some of our areas of apparent disagreement.

Too Big To Fail, Too Blind To See, Tom C.W. Lin Jan 2010

Too Big To Fail, Too Blind To See, Tom C.W. Lin

UF Law Faculty Publications

Too Big to Fail by Andrew Ross Sorkin offers a meticulous re-telling of one of the most important periods in recent history. As regulators, bankers, lawyers, scholars, and other interested parties sift through the rubble in search of knowledge about the crash, Too Big to Fail serves both as a chronicle of the recent past and a cautionary tale for the immediate future. Acknowledging past missteps, uncovering root causes, and correcting systemic shortcomings to prevent similar failure is arguably the key economic and regulatory challenge of our time. Part I of this Essay summarizes key episodes of the financial crisis …
