Drug Markets, Fringe Markets, And The Lessons Of Hamsterdam, Lance Mcmillian Mar 2012

Drug Markets, Fringe Markets, And The Lessons Of Hamsterdam, Lance Mcmillian

Washington and Lee Law Review

The Wire is the greatest television series of all-time. Not only that, it is the most important. One of the most memorable story arcs from The Wire’s five seasons is the rise and fall of Hamsterdam—a quasi-legalized drug zone in West Baltimore. Stories are powerful teaching tools because they marry information and context. By seeing how the application of law affects characters we know and care about, we become more attune to the potential effects of legal decisions in the real world. The story of Hamsterdam—which is essentially an attempt to transform a black market into a fringe market—presents just …


Good Faith In Revlon-Land, Christopher M. Bruner Jan 2011

Good Faith In Revlon-Land, Christopher M. Bruner

Scholarly Articles

The Delaware Supreme Court has set a very high hurdle for plaintiffs challenging directors' good faith in the sale of a company. In Lyondell Chemical Company v. Ryan, the court held that unconflicted directors could be found to have breached the good faith component of their duty of loyalty in the transactional context only if they "knowingly and completely failed to undertake," and "utterly failed to attempt" to discharge their duties.

In this essay I argue that the Lyondell standard effectively imports into the transactional context the exacting standard previously applied in the oversight context — a move clearly aimed …

The "Persuasion Route" Of The Law: Advertising And Legal Persuasion, Sarah C. Haan Jan 2000

The "Persuasion Route" Of The Law: Advertising And Legal Persuasion, Sarah C. Haan

Scholarly Articles

Persuasive commercial messages--advertisements--dominate our experience of persuasion in contemporary American life. In the past quarter century, the commercial landscape has witnessed significant change in the volume, styles, and strategies of advertising. In particular, this Note argues that modern advertising contains little information about products and services, and that rational processing of information has become less important to consumer decisionmaking. At the same time, advertising research shows that consumers do not seek out or use product information contained in advertisements, and that less-informative advertising may actually be more persuasive than advertising containing a lot of information. This Note argues that changes …

The General Agreement: From Tariffs And Trade To Sustainable Development, Mark Anthony Drumbl Jan 1995

The General Agreement: From Tariffs And Trade To Sustainable Development, Mark Anthony Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

In order to deal adequately with the immense environmental problems we face, it is not sufficient to clean up past mistakes. We must also restructure traditional trade practices to curtail future environmental harms. This article is an attempt to offer ideas as to how such a restructuring could take place.

Environmental degradation is increasingly becoming an issue of global security. Water depletion, air pollution, deforestation, soil erosion, and the possibility of rising sea levels in overcrowded regions are all phenomena that may prompt mass migrations. This, in turn, might incite group conflicts. In this regard, environmentally related issues could constitute …
