Alternative Venture Capital: The New Unicorn Investors, Anat Alon-Beck 2020 University of Tennessee College of Law

Alternative Venture Capital: The New Unicorn Investors, Anat Alon-Beck

Tennessee Law Review

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has promulgated new rules designed to harmonize and improve the "patchwork" exempt offering framework, protect investors and facilitate capital formation. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Labor announced that the fiduciary responsibility provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 do not prohibit fiduciaries of 401(k) and other individual account plans from investing in, and undertaking exposure to, private equity investments. These policies address the concern that retail investors are missing out on investment opportunities, due to fewer listed firms and initial public offerings, the greater role of the private market in raising …

The Gen Z Juror, Leslie Y. Garfield Tenzer 2020 University of Tennessee College of Law

The Gen Z Juror, Leslie Y. Garfield Tenzer

Tennessee Law Review

The Magna Carta drafters did not contemplate Facebook, Twitter, or texting when they formalized the jury system, a system that remains mostly unchanged 800 years after its inception. Those primed for jury duty over the coming decades have grown up with a cell phone in their hand and news at their fingertips. It is unreasonable to expect Gen Zers to meet the "radio-silence" mandate of jury duty. As smartphones become the de facto method of communication, courts, legislatures, and scholars offer prohibitions, admonitions, and increased punishment to curtail juror misconduct. These reforms, however, do little to prevent the kind of …

The Contested Edges Of Internal Affairs, Mohsen Manesh 2020 University of Tennessee College of Law

The Contested Edges Of Internal Affairs, Mohsen Manesh

Tennessee Law Review

Because of the internal affairs doctrine, the tiny state of Delaware plays a unique and outsized role as the nation's preeminent regulator of corporate governance. But two recent developments have raised new questions about the precise scope of the doctrine and, consequently, Delaware's lucrative regulatory domain. Specifically, in a four-month span in late 2018, (i) California enacted the nation's first law mandating board gender diversity for all public corporations headquartered in California, and (ii) the Delaware Court of Chancery in Sciabacucchi v. Salzberg invalidated a corporate charter provision purporting to regulate shareholder rights arising under federal securities law.

These two …


Reframing Taxigration, Jacqueline Lainez Flanagan 2020 University of Tennessee College of Law

Reframing Taxigration, Jacqueline Lainez Flanagan

Tennessee Law Review

Tax compliance by undocumented immigrant workers could and should be the architectural centerpiece of immigration reform. Analyzing this premise using broad economic frameworks and examining corresponding mechanisms in U.S. tax and immigration systems, this article seeks to reframe "taxigration" to signify tax filing as a threshold condition to legalization.

"Taxigration" was originally coined by immigration practitioners to signal the intersection between immigration and tax law, most often when individuals in the midst of legalization proceedings file tax returns to supplement their immigration petitions. Conversely, unauthorized workers with no viable path toward legalization must adhere to a tax filing mandate, facilitated …


The Future Of Roe V. Wade: Do Abortion Rights End When A Human's Life Begins?, Steven Andrew Jacobs 2020 University of Tennessee College of Law

The Future Of Roe V. Wade: Do Abortion Rights End When A Human's Life Begins?, Steven Andrew Jacobs

Tennessee Law Review

While legal scholars and Supreme Court Justices on both sides of the national abortion controversy argue that Roe v. Wade was incorrectly decided, this Article accepts the Court's decision as a provisional holding that was based on the relevant societal, scientific, and legal records available to the Court in 1973. However, the stare decisis analysis outlined by the Court in Planned Parenthood v. Casey dictates that precedent can be overturned when a change in relevant facts robs a ruling of its original justification. If the Court agrees to hear a challenge to Roe, it will likely assess whether the relevant …


Lawyer Regulation Stakeholder Networks And The Global Diffusion Of Ideas, Laurel S. Terry 2020 Penn State Dickinson Law

Lawyer Regulation Stakeholder Networks And The Global Diffusion Of Ideas, Laurel S. Terry

Faculty Scholarly Works

This Article is a companion article to Laurel S. Terry, Global Networks and the Legal Profession, 53 Akron L. Rev. 137 (2019), https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3620399. That article explained why global networks are useful for lawyers and the clients they represent, introduced some of the scientific literature about networks, cited prior literature about (mostly domestic) legal profession networks, and then identified ways in which lawyers and their employers, including law firms, participate in global legal profession networks, as well as domestic networks.

This Article focuses on a subset of global legal profession networks, which are the global networks of lawyer regulation stakeholders. Section …

Availability's Law, Ido Kilovaty 2020 University of Tennessee College of Law

Availability's Law, Ido Kilovaty

Tennessee Law Review

Cybersecurity incidents affecting the availability of computers, networks, and data are on the rise. Distributed denial-of-service and ransomware attacks can bring down critical systems and databases, making them unavailable when most needed, potentially affecting every individual, industry, sector, and branch of government. This Article critically evaluates cybersecurity law's gap in addressing the growing threat of availability attacks to information technology systems. While cybersecurity law is defined as the legal framework that "promotes the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of public and private information, systems, and networks ... ." this Article argues that cybersecurity law is overwhelmingly concerned with confidentiality and integrity, …
