Opting Out Of Liability: The Forthcoming, Near-Total Demise Of The Modern Class Action, Myriam E. Gilles Dec 2005

Opting Out Of Liability: The Forthcoming, Near-Total Demise Of The Modern Class Action, Myriam E. Gilles

Articles

It is reasonable to expect that courts will demonstrate great solicitude for the recent innovation that I term "collective action waivers" - i.e., contractual provisions contained within arbitration agreements whereby consumers and others waive their rights to participate in any form of collective litigation or class arbitration. The history of mass tort class actions and the hegemonic expansion of pro-arbitration jurisprudence compel this conclusion. And, as the now-dominant economic model of contract law has moved the focus of courts from the value of consent to the value of efficiency, arbitration agreements found in all manner of shrink-wrap, scroll-text and bill-stuffer …

Not Playing Around: The Chilling Power Of The Federal Trademark Dilution Act Of 1995, Julie Zando-Dennis Jan 2005

Not Playing Around: The Chilling Power Of The Federal Trademark Dilution Act Of 1995, Julie Zando-Dennis

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The Federal Trademark Dilution Act of 1995 (FTDA) has become a powerful tool for corporations to suppress criticism and parody, undermining free speech by allowing broad claims of trademark dilution without requiring proof of consumer confusion. The note argues that the FTDA’s provisions against dilution, including blurring and tarnishment, disproportionately favor corporate interests over First Amendment rights, particularly in cases involving parody and satire. Courts have inconsistently applied the law, with some circuits offering protections for parody while others prioritize trademark protection, creating uncertainty and chilling artistic and activist expression. The note advocates for reform to balance trademark rights with …

Harmful Remedies: Optimal Reformation Of Anticompetitive Contracts, Michal S. Gal Nov 2000

Harmful Remedies: Optimal Reformation Of Anticompetitive Contracts, Michal S. Gal

Cardozo Law Review

Current law and economics literature identifies two main types of errors courts can make in applying antitrust law. Courts may erroneously label conduct as anticompetitive even though competition is not harmed. Alternatively, courts may fail to identify, and thus fail to attack, anticompetitive conduct. This Article focuses on a third possible error - where a court correctly identifies anticompetitive conduct, but its mode of interference, i.e., its prescribed remedy, harms competition. It analyzes this error in the context of anticompetitive contract reformation. Such error occurs, for example, where a court has chosen one reformation option that is less efficient and …

Consumer Protection, Globalization And Democracy, John Goldring Apr 1998

Consumer Protection, Globalization And Democracy, John Goldring

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the challenges posed by globalization to consumer protection and the role of nation-states in regulating economic activities. It argues that while globalization offers benefits, it often undermines consumer protections by creating inequalities in information and economic power. The analysis highlights the tension between international trade agreements, which can limit national sovereignty, and the need for robust consumer protection laws. The article also explores the complexities of extraterritorial enforcement of laws and the role of nation-states in maintaining legal frameworks that balance consumer rights with business interests.
