The Mighty Work Of Making Nations Happy: A Response To James Davison Hunter, Patrick McKinley Brennan 2013 1567

The Mighty Work Of Making Nations Happy: A Response To James Davison Hunter, Patrick Mckinley Brennan

Working Paper Series

This article is an invited response to James Davison Hunter’s much-discussed book To Change the World: The Irony, Tragedy, and Possibility of Christianity in the Late Modern World (Oxford University Press, 2010). Hunter, a sociologist at UVA and a believing Protestant, claims that law’s capacity to contribute to social change is “mostly illusory” and that Christians, therefore, should practice “faithful presence” in the public square rather than seek to influence law directly. My response is that it is, in fact, law’s stunning ability to alter and limit available choices that makes it an object of deservedly fierce contest. The wild …


A Global Comparison Of Insider Trading Regulations, James H. Thompson 2013 Central Washington University

A Global Comparison Of Insider Trading Regulations, James H. Thompson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Business

As the business world continues to expand in global markets, trading of shares, bonds, derivatives and other instruments continues to increase. One form of trading that has received considerable interest in recent years is insider trading. Insider trading occurs when individuals with potential access to non-public information about a corporation buy or sell stock of that corporation.

This study compares insider trading laws, penalties, and convictions in countries …


U.S. Preservation Requirements And Eu Data Protection: Headed For Collision, Tania Abbas 2013 UC Law SF

U.S. Preservation Requirements And Eu Data Protection: Headed For Collision, Tania Abbas

UC Law SF International Law Review

Large, multinational corporations today preserve vast quantities of electronic data out of fear that they will suffer sanctions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for destroying evidence that could be relevant to ongoing or pending litigation. But, as U.S. companies hoard data, European regulators are stepping up enforcement of privacy laws that require the systematic elimination of data that identifies individuals without their consent. These laws, such as EU Directive 95/46, on the Protection of Individuals with Regard to the Processing of Personal Data and on the Free Movement of Such Data, are arguably far-reaching and may affect data …

Administrative Procedure And Foreign Antibribery Enforcement: Restoring Balance Through Procedural Transparency, Daniel R. Wilson

UC Law SF International Law Review

The Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission aggressively pursue and punish individuals and companies who bribe or attempt to bribe foreign officials in other countries pursuant to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA). However, the FCPA as it is currently interpreted by the Department of Justice has been the object of growing criticism. The United States Chamber of Commerce has argued that good faith efforts to comply with the law are often unsuccessful and that statutory amendments are necessary to "secure clarity" with respect to enforcement policy. A year ago, the Department of Justice responded …

Innovation In China: Fragmentation, Structured Uncertainty, And Technology Standards, Michael Murphree, Dan Breznitz

Cardozo Law Review de•novo

This Article discusses the history of China’s attempts to develop indigenous technology standards. A case study is presented on China’s attempts to develop digital optical storage media standards, the failure of which we attribute to fragmentation of production and structured uncertainty in China’s economy. Despite the market failures of China’s domestic standards development efforts, we conclude by highlighting some of the appurtenant benefits they produce for Chinese manufacturers.
