Consumer Fraud, Home Financing, And The Erosion Of Trust, 2023 Northwestern Pritzker School of Law
Consumer Fraud, Home Financing, And The Erosion Of Trust, Linda E. Fisher
Northwestern University Law Review
Consumer fraud is a civil violation of a remedial statute not requiring specific intent to deceive. Most consumer fraud statutes define violations as unconscionable, misleading, or deceptive practices irrespective of intent, in derogation of the principle of caveat emptor. They do not apply to business-to-business transactions. Trust plays a central role in business-to-consumer transactions. Because consumers are individuals, there is often an inherent inequality in consumer transactions. Sophisticated marketing techniques—especially target marketing that follows potential customers all over the internet—hound consumers’ online lives and manipulate purchasing decisions. The increasing monetization of almost everything exacerbates these effects. This transactionalism itself erodes …
Toward A Multilevel Sociology Of Fraud, 2023 Northwestern Pritzker School of Law
Toward A Multilevel Sociology Of Fraud, Brooke Harrington, Camilo Arturo Leslie
Northwestern University Law Review
This Essay applies a distinctively sociological multilevel analysis to fraud to provide novel insights and recommendations on an old problem. Rather than treating fraud as a problem of “criminogenic environments” or of individual psychologies and motivations, this multilevel analysis investigates the ways in which individuals (the micro level) interact with organizations (the meso level) and institutional systems (the macro level) to produce fraud. We illustrate these interactions and the insight that an interactive analysis can provide by using ethnographic data from an in-depth case study of the R. Allen Stanford offshore financial fraud. The case, which occurred in the Caribbean …
The Persistent Limits Of Fraud Prevention In Historical Perspective, 2023 Northwestern Pritzker School of Law
The Persistent Limits Of Fraud Prevention In Historical Perspective, Emily Kadens
Northwestern University Law Review
Fraud has been ubiquitous throughout history, and so have the methods of fraud prevention. History demonstrates that no anti-fraud measures have fully succeeded in eliminating deceptive market behavior. Instead, this Essay uses evidence from premodern England to argue that societies and individual contracting parties balance tolerating a certain amount of fraud against the costs of fraud prevention.

America's Anti-Fraud Ecosystem And The Problem Of Social Trust: Perspectives From Legal Practitioners, Edward J. Balleisen
Northwestern University Law Review
This contribution revives an autobiographical genre present in law reviews roughly a half-century ago, in which seasoned legal practitioners offered perspective on vital issues. Here, a senior deputy attorney general, a former federal prosecutor, a corporate defense attorney, and a legal aid lawyer each draw on their career experience to explore what they see as significant problems related to the law of consumer and investor fraud and the nature of consumer and investor trust. Their reflections emphasize the significance of law in action—how key actors seek to deploy legal mechanisms related to fraud and adjust their strategies in light of …
Auditing Overseas: How The United States Can Learn From Recent Financial Audit Reform In The United Kingdom, 2023 Northwestern Pritzker School of Law
Auditing Overseas: How The United States Can Learn From Recent Financial Audit Reform In The United Kingdom, Daniel Damitio
Northwestern University Law Review
Financial auditing is one of the cornerstones of an effective capital market structure. When performed correctly, an independent financial audit provides investors with the security they need to effectively transact based on company disclosures. When this system fails, however, the results for investors and the economy as a whole can be devastating. In recognition of this danger, the market for financial auditing in the United States is regulated by a number of governmental and nongovernmental bodies charged with maintaining its health and effectiveness. But stakeholders within the U.S. market and government have criticized these regulators for failing to adequately respond …

Confidentiality Clauses In Settlement Agreements After The Consumer Review Fairness Act, 2023 Texas A&M University School of Law
Confidentiality Clauses In Settlement Agreements After The Consumer Review Fairness Act, Wayne Barnes
Faculty Scholarship
Online commerce has skyrocketed in recent years, and shoppers are purchasing goods or services online in greater numbers every year. The COVID-19 pandemic has only hastened the trend. One significant aspect of online shopping is the presence of consumer reviews posted by prior purchasers of goods or services, describing their experience with the products, the services and/or the selling merchant. A vast majority of online shoppers say that they rely on these reviews to help inform their purchasing decisions. Positive reviews can be tremendously beneficial to a business’ profitability, whereas negative reviews can be equally detrimental. Users of the internet …
The Private Attorney General In A Time Of Hyper-Polarized Politics, 2023 Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law
The Private Attorney General In A Time Of Hyper-Polarized Politics, Myriam E. Gilles
Articles
With the enactment of the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”) in 1914 and the Wheeler–Lea Act in 1938, Congress sought to establish a brawny federal consumer protection regime to guard against the myriad unfair and deceptive practices that threatened harm to American consumers. But courts in this era interpreted these statutes to confer exclusive enforcement authority in the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), declining to infer a private right of action. For many decades, the resulting enforcement gap in consumer protection law was filled largely by state Unfair and Deceptive Practices Acts (“UDAPs”), which sanction litigation by both public and …
Toward A Canadian Right To Repair: Opportunities And Challenges, 2023 Dalhousie University Schulich School of Law
Toward A Canadian Right To Repair: Opportunities And Challenges, Anthony D. Rosborough
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
This Article draws a picture of the past, present, and future of the right to repair in Canada. It looks to early successes toward automotive right to repair, challenges faced in proposing consumer protection reforms in Ontario and Quebec, and the utility of a proposed copyright “Technological Protection Measure (TPM) exception” allowing circumvention for repair purposes. In light of right to repair priorities identified by Canada’s current federal government, the Article identifies a selection of reforms that could achieve these goals. Such reforms include creating regulations under the Copyright Act governing the use and implementation of TPMs, passing an exception …
At The Nexus Of Antitrust & Consumer Protection, 2023 University of Alabama School of Law
At The Nexus Of Antitrust & Consumer Protection, Luke Herrine
Utah Law Review
This Essay uses Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act to examine the theoretical and practical relationship between antitrust and consumer protection law. It argues that, since roughly 1980, there has been a hegemonic “neoliberal” framework, one that has in recent years been challenged by an emerging “moral economy” framework. The neoliberal framework conceptualizes antitrust as preventing firms from conspiring to throttle output, with a focus primarily on consumers’ interests in low prices, and consumer protection as making consumers informed, rational, and able to switch between competitors with relatively low cost. The moral economy framework conceptualizes both areas of …

The New Roaring Twenties: The Progressive Agenda For Antitrust And Consumer Protection Law, Jorge L. Contreras
Utah Law Review
It is an opportune moment to consider the trajectory of antitrust law in the United States. We are witnessing today an inflection point in both federal and state antitrust enforcement and a growing skepticism by courts of the doctrinal orthodoxy that has characterized the antitrust jurisprudence of the last half century.
After Ebay: Valid Patents And The Economics Of Post-Trial Judicial Options, 2023 Brigham Young University
After Ebay: Valid Patents And The Economics Of Post-Trial Judicial Options, J R. Kearl
Utah Law Review
The Supreme Court’s eBay decision creates enormous uncertainty about whether the owner of a valid patent has an exclusive right in the face of actual infringement. The Court’s “traditional equitable” criteria for an injunction fail to consider the context where injunctive relief may be warranted: namely, litigation dealing with patents where a jury or court has found the in-suit patent to be valid and infringed and where, barring an injunction, there will be post-trial infringing uses by the defendant. Specifically, it is highly unlikely that a patent holder can show that it will be irreparably harmed or not be made …

The House Doesn't Always Win, Jennifer Owen
International Conference on Gambling & Risk Taking
In June 2015, fourteen South Korean casino executives were arrested on charges of soliciting Chinese players to gamble in their casinos. This single event foreshadowed a seismic change in the Australian casino market that few would have anticipated. The events which unfolded led to the two largest casino operators in Australia being found unsuitable to operate their casinos, and unable to hold their licenses. Collectively, these two casino groups reported revenues of $5.0bn in 2019, accounting for 92% of the total Australian casino market.
Both are now operating under various forms of special supervision until it can be demonstrated that …
