UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

Although few states have held constitutional conventions in recent decades, there is renewed interest in holding state constitutional conventions in the twenty-first century. This Essay explains the author's views on holding such a convention, based on her experience in Illinois and with a view toward a California convention. The author believes that the two keys to a successful convention in the twenty-first century are extensive preparation and transparency.

We Don't Want Dollars, Just Change: Narrative Counter-Terrorism Strategy, An Inclusive Model For Social Healing, And The Truth About Torture Commission, 6 Nw. J. L. & Soc. Pol'y 1 (2011), Kim D. Chanbonpin

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

In 2007, Professor Eric K Yamamoto acknowledged that reparations theory and practice had reached a crossroads and called for a new strategic framework that reparations advocates could utilize in working to achieve redress for social and historical wrongs. This Article attempts to answer Yamamoto's call. In it, I situate my proposal for a truth commission to redress the post-9/11 torture program in a new Inclusive Model for Social Healing. In the past, reparations advocates have relied on litigation-a strategic model that excludes participants other than the named parties-to

obtain redress. By increasing the number of stakeholders in a reparations scheme, …

Rebooting Trademarks For The Twenty-First Century, 49 U. Louisville L. Rev. 517 (2011), Doris E. Long

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

Trademarks have long suffered from an "ugly stepsister" status in the realm of intellectual property. Quasi-market regulation tool, quasi-investment property; trademark's historical role as both consumer-information signifier and producer-investment asset has led to increasingly confusing dichotomous treatment under the Lanham Act. The potentially borderless markets of cyberspace, with their new marketing techniques and new competitive spaces, have only heightened this confusion. Stumbling attempts to extend protection for marks under the Lanham Act beyond traditional notions of trademark use and consumer confusion to encompass the investment protection side of trademarks, such as the development of federal dilution and anti-cybersquatting acts, only …

Aclu V. Miami-Dade County School Board: Reading Pico Imprecisely, Writing Undue Restrictions On Public School Library Books, And Adding To The Collection Of Students' First Amendment Right Violations, Katherine Fiore

Villanova Law Review (1956 - )

The article discusses the case, American Civil Liberties Union of Florida Inc. (ACLU) v. Miami-Dade County School Board. ACLU alleges that the Board violated the students' First Amendment Right of free access to ideas because it removed a library book based on personal biases. The author disputes the Eleventh Circuit's decision favoring the board with the Supreme Court's Pico standard requiring investigation of motives since the cited reason of educational unsuitability is deemed insufficient.

National Australia Bank, restrict the extraterritorial reach of U.S. fraud laws to private rights of action involving domestic transactions of U.S. securities. The author notes that the U.S. legal jurisdiction is governed by the policy of minimal interference and respect for sovereignties and by the principle of comity. He states that this position will help establish a cooperative regulatory effort across global markets.

Mismatch: The Misuse Of Market Efficiency In Market Manipulation Class Actions, Charles R. Korsmo

Faculty Publications

Plaintiffs commonly bring two distinct types of claims under Section 1(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934: 1) claims of material misrepresentations or omissions; and 2) claims of trade-based market manipulation. Despite the distinctive features of the two types of claims, courts have tended to treat them identically when applying the “fraud on the market” doctrine. In particular, courts have required both types of plaintiffs to make identical showings that the relevant security traded in an “efficient market” in order to gain a presumption of reliance. The reasons for requiring such a showing by plaintiffs in a misrepresentation case …

Sprawiedliwość Proceduralna W Postępowaniu Przed Organem Ochrony Konkurencji, Maciej Bernatt

Monografie CARS/CARS Monographs

Kolejna (ósma) monografia z serii wydawniczej „Podręczniki i Monografie” CARS autorstwa dr Macieja Bernatta jest poświęcona problematyce respektowania sprawiedliwości proceduralnej w postępowaniu przed organem ochrony konkurencji – Prezesem Urzędu Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów i Komisją Europejską. Celem rozważań zawartych w książce jest odpowiedź na pytanie, czy proceduralne instytucje prawne gwarantują respektowanie w tym postępowaniu wyróżnionych wartości sprawiedliwości proceduralnej. Badane jest, czy wyodrębnionym wartościom odpowiadają właściwie gwarancje – uprawnienia procesowe uczestnika tego postępowania i obowiązki organu ochrony konkurencji i kontrolującego go sądu. Procedura antymonopolowa podlega zatem badaniu z perspektywy prawa do wysłuchania, prawa do obrony, prawa do równego uczestnictwa w postępowaniu, …

Sieci Szerokopasmowe W Polityce Telekomunikacyjnej, Stanisław Piątek

Monografie CARS/CARS Monographs

Kolejna (już siódma) książka z serii wydawniczej „Podręczniki i Monografie” CARS. Monografia prof. S.
