Nondeposit Deposits And The Future Of Bank Regulation, Jonathan R. Macey, Geoffrey P. Miller
Nondeposit Deposits And The Future Of Bank Regulation, Jonathan R. Macey, Geoffrey P. Miller
Michigan Law Review
We argue in this paper that the nation has already entered with a vengeance into the era of nondeposit deposit banking. The traditional bank deposit against which reserves must be held and deposit insurance paid is suffering encroachment from a wide variety of competitive instruments and arrangements, all of which, to one degree or another - often to a substantial degree - serve a function economically similar to that of the checking account at a depository institution.
The legal system may respond to these developments by attempting to bring nondeposit deposits under regulation, as it has done with other banking …

International Regulatory Harmonization: A New Era In Prescription Drug Approval, David W. Jordan
International Regulatory Harmonization: A New Era In Prescription Drug Approval, David W. Jordan
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Critics of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have asserted that the agency's process of reviewing new drugs has long been laden with inefficiency and waste and, as a result, new drugs are not made available to consumers on a timely basis. This Note considers the veracity of this claim by examining the history of prescription drug regulation in the United States and the current procedure by which new drugs are reviewed. This Note also addresses the limited extent to which the FDA has interacted with its foreign counterparts in assessing the safety and efficacy of new drugs and the …
Conservation And Natural Resources Water Resources: Provide Protection For Coastal Marshlands And Beaches, Rose Marie Wade
Conservation And Natural Resources Water Resources: Provide Protection For Coastal Marshlands And Beaches, Rose Marie Wade
Georgia State University Law Review
These Acts recognize that the coastal marshlands, sand dunes, beaches, sandbars, and shoals of Georgia comprise important natural resources systems. The Acts provide for management and regulation of these systems by requiring permits for construction in these areas. The Acts provide for committees appointed by the Board of Natural Resources to administer the permit program and to respond to emergency situations. The Acts also establish civil penalties which may be imposed for violations.
Untenable Status Of Corporate Governance Listing Standards Under The Securities Exchange Act, Douglas C. Michael
Untenable Status Of Corporate Governance Listing Standards Under The Securities Exchange Act, Douglas C. Michael
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
United States securities markets operate under a system of supervised self-regulation created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). That system includes substantive regulation of the traders and the issuers of securities traded in those markets through the use of listing standards.
These listing standards have a unique status. They are part of a self-regulatory system, but are not classic self-regulation. The markets do not govern the traders of which it consists; rather, it governs outsiders—the issuers. The markets and the Securities and Exchange Commissions have sought to control issuers in ways not clearly related to trading in …
Cumulative Trauma Disorders: Osha's General Duty Clause And The Need For An Ergonomics Standard, David J. Kolesar
Cumulative Trauma Disorders: Osha's General Duty Clause And The Need For An Ergonomics Standard, David J. Kolesar
Michigan Law Review
This Note argues that neither the Act nor its underlying policies supports OSHA's current use of the general duty clause to prosecute alleged ergonomics violations and that the only way to protect workers from CTDs fairly and effectively is through the promulgation of an ergonomics standard. Part I examines the purposes of the Act, as well as the function of the Act's general duty clause. Part II analyzes the four requirements of the general duty clause in the context of CTDs and finds that the clause does not apply to CTDs. Part III argues that the Act's intended policies support …
Book Review: The Law And Regulation Of International Finance, Ian F.G. Baxter
Book Review: The Law And Regulation Of International Finance, Ian F.G. Baxter
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The Law of International Finance, as its opening states, revolves around "the law and regulation affecting the raising of finance in the international financial markets." Thus, the book is about a very specialized area of finance and law-an area that has come into prominence, or even existence, only during the last two decades. As a solicitor in a large London firm that does substantial work related to financial business in the London international capital markets, Ravi Tennekoon has had considerable practical experience in legal work related to Eurobond issues and transactions and international syndications. London is, of course, the main …
An Economic And Political Look At Federalism In Taxation, Daniel Shaviro
An Economic And Political Look At Federalism In Taxation, Daniel Shaviro
Michigan Law Review
Part I of this article examines the reasons for preferring locationally neutral taxes and explains the basic tension between locational neutrality and state and local autonomy in taxation. Part II examines the federal judicial check on state and local taxation, which often relies on a principle barring discrimination against outsiders or interstate commerce. Part III explores the need for a broad federal judicial check by examining state and local governments' reasons for imposing (or avoiding) locationally distortive taxes, the countervailing benefits of allowing such governments broad autonomy in taxation, and Congress' willingness to strike down locationally distortive taxes under its …

Comment: Perceptions Of Chief Patent Counsel At Large Corporations Of The Effects Of Patent Term, Products Liability And Government Regulations On Firm R&D, Thomas G. Field Jr.
Law Faculty Scholarship
Last summer, over 300 members of the Association of (chief) Corporate Patent Counsel were surveyed concerning their attitude toward and experience with arbitration and mediation (ADR). Seventy-five responded. Subsequently, tabulations of the survey data were sent to the same people with four additional questions, two of which had nothing to do with ADR. Forty-one responded. This comment reports responses to the two questions unrelated to ADR.

The Privacy Obstacle Course: Hurding Barriers To Transnational Financial Services, Joel R. Reidenberg
The Privacy Obstacle Course: Hurding Barriers To Transnational Financial Services, Joel R. Reidenberg
Fordham Law Review
Professor Reidenberg addresses the challenge to transnational financial services resulting from national regulation of information processing. National laws around the world seek to define fair information practices for the private sector and contain prohibitions on data transfers to foreign destinations that lack sufficient privacy protection. The effect of these laws for the financial services industry is significant because financial services depend on personal information. Professor Reidenberg argues that the international attempts to harmonize information processing encourage divergence of national standards for financial services. He argues that regulatory flexibility and customization is necessary to support financial sevices and accomodate, without circumventing, …

Footprints In The Shifting Sands Of The Isle Of Palms: A Practical Analysis Of Regulatory Takings Cases, John R. Nolon
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
It was not until the last day of the term, June 29, 1992, that the Court decided Lucas. By that time, interest could not have been greater. At issue was the validity of a regulation that prohibited all permanent development of the plaintiff's two beachfront lots. The South Carolina Supreme Court upheld the regulation by a 3-2 margin because it prevented a “great public harm.” The U.S. Supreme Court reversed that determination and remanded the case to determine whether South Carolina's common law of nuisance could prohibit the construction of single-family housing on the lots. The fractured Court delivered an …
International Regulation And Control Of The Production And Use Of Chemicals And Pesticides: Perspectives For A Convention, Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz
International Regulation And Control Of The Production And Use Of Chemicals And Pesticides: Perspectives For A Convention, Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz
Michigan Journal of International Law
A wide variety of instruments and mechanisms for the regulation and control of chemicals and pesticides is already available internationally. What is missing is an analysis that attempts to systematize the different approaches, to create transparency, to define where they overlap, and to discover prospective deficiencies and shortcomings. In order to accomplish this task, this article covers legally binding rules as well as recommendations and codes - the international soft law. The overall purpose is to outline a framework for future international regulation of chemicals and pesticides and to propose an international convention as a possible solution.

Do We Really Want Ethical Government, John D. Feerick
Do We Really Want Ethical Government, John D. Feerick
Faculty Scholarship
The question I would like to address in this article arises out of my recent work with the New York State Commission on Government Integrity. As you may recall, the Commission was appointed by Governor Cuomo in 1987 following a series of corruption scandals in our State involving officials at all levels of government. It was a nonpartisan group comprised of a former Secretary of State, a former judge of the State's highest court, a prominent civil libertarian, a former federal prosecutor, and other prominent citizens of this State.' The Commission had a very broad mandate. It was directed to …
The Tragedy Of The Commons, Part Two, James E. Krier
The Tragedy Of The Commons, Part Two, James E. Krier
Articles
This symposium is about the idea of "free market environmentalism" in general and the book Free Market Environmentalism, by Terry Anderson and Donald Leal,1 in particular. While I focus chiefly on Anderson and Leal's book, the discussion will necessarily involve the general idea of free market environmentalism as well. The conceit of my tide, which obviously derives from Garrett Hardin's celebrated essay on The Tragedy of the Commons,2 is this: Superficial differences aside, Hardin's essay and Anderson and Leal's book address the same fundamental problem of coordinating human behavior as it affects environmental quality. But both the essay and the …
