Nonessential Businesses And Liability Waivers In The Time Of Covid-19, Zahra Takhshid
Nonessential Businesses And Liability Waivers In The Time Of Covid-19, Zahra Takhshid
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
States are gradually reopening after months of lockdown. However, the risk of exposure to the deadly COVID-19 virus still remains. While states would like to have the economy up and running, the price that small businesses may be forced to pay following possible coronavirus personal injury lawsuits may drive them out of business.

Utah Law Faculty Scholarship
This is the first study to systematically catalog sponsorship of national health organizations by soda companies. Because health organizations have strong voices in lawmaking and politics, it is important to understand the extent and nature of sponsorships by soda companies. This study found that the Coca-Cola Company sponsored 94 and PepsiCo sponsored 13 national health organizations. Although it seems the Coca-Cola Company may invest more than PepsiCo in sponsorships, this result is likely due to bias from increased availability of Coca-Cola sponsorship records. These records were released as part of the transparency initiative, which the Coca-Cola company started after it …
