Business Associations (LAW-611-001)
There are no notices at this time.
Business Associations- Professor Effross
Fall 2014
This course analyzes the allocation of authority, responsibility, and liability between agents and their principals, and among the owners and managers of (several types of) partnerships; of limited liability companies; and of corporations.
Our study begins with the basic principles of agency law, which not only span the themes of several first-year courses but also underlie the laws of all forms of business associations.
Our next major topic is the evolution of, and differences among the management powers and liabilities of partners in, different forms of partnerships (general, limited, and limited liability).
After reviewing the structure and features of limited liability companies, we turn for the rest of the semester to the law of corporations. The practical elements of (and professional responsibility issues raised by) forming, operating, and dissolving corporations lead us to examine in detail the relative rights, roles, and responsibilities of corporate shareholders, directors, and officers, and their ongoing struggles over their respective powers of "corporate governance."
Of special concern is the growing body of caselaw concerning: directors' and officers' duties of due care, loyalty, and good faith; the processes by which directors and officers should make decisions; the fundamental rule, and other protections (indemnification; exculpation; and insurance), that often (but not always) insulate them from personal liability even if their decisions result in corporate losses; and the procedures and arguments by which shareholders can nonetheless attempt to hold directors and officers personally liable for having made bad, negligent, and/or disloyal decisions.
The practical drafting, operational, and policy issues that we analyze should be of use to: employees of and partners in law and other partnerships; counsel to partners or partnerships; lawyers advising corporate shareholders, "stakeholders," officers, individual directors, committees of directors, or entire boards of directors; anyone counseling, serving as, or planning to serve as, an executive of a for-profit entity, of a non-profit (including a religious or educational) entity, or of a "social enterprise" such as a benefit corporation, flexible purpose corporation, low-profit limited liability company (L3C), or "B Corporation"; and anyone investing in a business association of any size.
**This course requires a significant amount of, and commitment to, detailed reading.**
The required books—a casebook, a statutory supplement, and two Examples and Explanations books (multiple copies of all of which will be on reserve in the library for students who would prefer not to purchase their own)—will be augmented by extensive supplements, distributed periodically through the course Web page throughout the semester.
The supplements will contain diagrams, newspaper and magazine articles, recently-issued opinions, excerpts from law review articles, model and actual corporate documents, tools for drafting corporate documents, and other material that illustrates and illuminates the statutes, caselaw, and documents with which we work. Also included will be portions of the recently-published second edition of the instructor's casebook on corporate governance (which is not a required book for this course, but copies of which will be on reserve in the library).
This course does not require any previous knowledge of, or experience in, business or business law. There are no course prerequisites to this course.

Now you know what causes internet traffic.

RIAA Admits It Wants DMCA Overhaul; Blames Judges For 'Wrong' Interpretation
from the uh-sure dept
"I think Congress got it right, but I think the courts are getting it wrong," Pariser said during a panel discussion at the NY Entertainment & Technology Law Conference. "I think the courts are interpreting Congress' statute in a manner that is entirely too restrictive of content owners' rights and too open to [Internet] service providers.This is pretty typical of the RIAA. The one part of the DMCA that they fought tooth and nail when it was put together was the service provider safe harbors. However, it was a key part of the negotiations with the tech industry, as part of the tradeoff to get the rest of the (dreadful) DMCA. The RIAA has always hated the safe harbors. It's just so much easier to make third party service providers liable. It's easier to sue service providers rather than fans.
"We might need to go to Congress at some point for a fix," Pariser added. "Not because the statute was badly drafted but because the interpretation has been so hamstrung by court decisions."
So now they're rewriting history, pretending that the safe harbors weren't intended to do what they do. This is a joke. If you talk to folks on the tech side who negotiated the safe harbors, this was exactly how the safe harbors were meant to work. If anything, some of those involved are upset that the safe harbors aren't even stronger (as they were in the CDA for non-intellectual property issues). What Pariser and the RIAA really mean when they mock judges for their rulings on the safe harbors is that they never liked the safe harbors in the first place, so the best way to get what they always wanted (i.e., no real safe harbors) is to pretend that it's all a big "misinterpretation" that needs clarification from Congress.

Dodgers drop nail-biter to Tigers in 10 innings
LOS ANGELES -- Josh Beckett went nearly 11 months between Major League starts because of myriad injuries.
The Dodgers right-hander had to wait another couple of hours Wednesday night after he completed his four-inning 2014 debut before the Tigers' Victor Martinez finally decided a four-hour, 16-minute affair with a homer off Kenley Jansen leading off the 10th for a 7-6 Detroit victory at Dodger Stadium.View Full Game Coverage
LOS ANGELES -- Josh Beckett went nearly 11 months between Major League starts because of myriad injuries.
The Dodgers right-hander had to wait another couple of hours Wednesday night after he completed his four-inning 2014 debut before the Tigers' Victor Martinez finally decided a four-hour, 16-minute affair with a homer off Kenley Jansen leading off the 10th for a 7-6 Detroit victory at Dodger Stadium.View Full Game Coverage
"I've got some things to work on," said Beckett, who allowed four earned runs in his 85-pitch outing, his first start since May 13 against Washington. "The guys have shown a lot of character, with one walk-off win last night and a great comeback tonight."
The Dodgers scored three in the bottom of the ninth off Tigers closer Joe Nathan to send the two-game Interleague series into its second 10th inning. Adrian Gonzalez started the rally with a homer, and Dee Gordon capped it with a two-out game-tying single.
But Martinez, who had extended Tuesday's game with a ninth-inning RBI single off Jansen before the Dodgers rallied to win that one in the 10th, 3-2, struck again with career homer No. 159.
"He's just a really good hitter," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Today, it looked like they [Jansen and catcher Drew Butera] were trying to go in under his hands, and just didn't get it there."
Mattingly did not sound concerned about his closer giving up a lead and a tie on consecutive nights against the heart of the Tigers' powerful lineup, citing Yankees great Mariano Rivera as an example.
"When guys struggle, it's usually two in a row," Mattingly said. "I've seen Mo do it many times. He [Jansen] is healthy -- I'm not worried."
As for Beckett, the manager said: "Josh was kind of back and forth, to me. He'd get in a rhythm, keep the ball down, and all of a sudden, he'd get the ball up. So it was kind of good and bad with him."
Beckett's biggest nemesis was Tigers rookie third baseman Nick Castellanos, who connected on a three-run homer in the third inning to stake Detroit to a 5-3 lead. It was the first home run of his career.
"When I struck out in the first inning, it was all fastballs," Castellanos said, "and I didn't have to many good swings. After that, I was looking dead-red."
Beckett got a squeeze bunt down for a run in the second inning, and an ankle -- injured Friday in a Minor League game -- didn't stop him from beating speedy hitter Rajai Davis to first base while covering it in the top of the frame.
His pitching, as Mattingly said, was up and down.
"I felt good," Beckett said, when asked about his arm strength. "It was fun to just have things to work on. I have some things to adjust."
Since he last worked against the Nationals in May, Beckett went on the DL because of a left groin-muscle strain, then underwent July surgery to remove a rib and alleviate a nerve problem. In the spring, Beckett slammed his right thumb in a door, then tweaked an ankle in the rehab start for Class A Advanced Rancho Cucamonga.
He said his first inning was marked by high anxiety after the long wait to pitch, but "after the first inning, it was just a baseball game."
Carl Crawford stole home in the first inning as part of a double steal with Hanley Ramirez, and Yasiel Puig (left-thumb injury) returned to action for the first time since Saturday, pinch-hitting and striking out against Nathan in the ninth with the bases loaded.
Chances seem good that Puig, who was not cleared to play in the field Wednesday by the medical staff, might be allowed to return to the lineup Friday at Arizona with continued progress. Puig's status has been upgraded from available to pinch-run Sunday to available in an emergency Tuesday to available to pinch-hit Wednesday. He took batting practice on the field with his teammates before the game wearing a protective splint.
"With a day off tomorrow, hopefully we get to full strength," Mattingly said.

Miranda Lambert Breaks Down in Emotional New 'Over You' Video
It'd be best to have a few tissues handy before watching this new video for Miranda Lambert's current hit song, 'Over You.' The country singer hinted in a behind-the-scenes clip that her emotions were raw before and during the filming. A number of personal losses were still casting their shadow, and if the tears she sheds aren't real, she should head to Hollywood.
The early 20th century costuming sends the viewer back in time to perhaps recall someone he or she has lost and misses dearly. The song was inspired by the death of Blake Shelton's brother Richie, but that story is only overtly told near the end. Instead, director Trey Fanjoy uses a gallant white steed and two young boys — brothers perhaps — to tell the story in just a few frames.
It's tragic when early in the clip one brother rounds an old oak tree in the winter forest to find his playmate gone forever. The horse is his spirit, or the spirit of anyone who's passed on from this world. Lambert mostly walks across the dead leaves singing and holding a black parasol until the song's final chorus, when she spins around and comes to terms with her emotions. Fanjoy captures it all brilliantly, never pouring a detail on too heavy.

@MsVi..hello po.. bakit po mas tough compared to IELTS? Pano po ang reading exam nila? May TFNG po din ba?I just want to share my experience with PTE, I failed IELTS 3x already because of Writing so I decided to try PTE. I failed the first time I tried because I was too nervous and this time it was the Speaking part. Then I took the exam again and this time I got the score I need.
Overall, PTE exam format is really tough compared to IELTS but I found the scoring pretty lenient. They have mock test online that you can try so you can gauge how the exam is conducted. However, you have to pay for it (around 1k pesos ata) and then they will score you so this will give you an idea somehow.
Note that the exam is time pressured so 101% focus is a must.
It's really worth a try. :)

Pinoy Australia Information Forum was founded by a small group of Filipinos whose aim is to migrate to Australia. It is now a leading online Filipino-Australian community site for Filipinos in Australia and a valuable resource for people also planning to migrate to Australia.
I'm very happy to announce PinoyAu Forum's new app called "SimplyStall" . It's a new Gumtree like service for Pinoys in Australia but in a way better!
So if you have any items just collecting dust? Why not convert it to cash?
If you are selling new items or products or wish to give an item away for free then this might be a good avenue for you.
This project is a new initiative to unify and have a common portal for Pinoys in Australia to sell and share stuffs.
It's now available on Google Play and Apple App Store.
Please do try it out. I'd appreciate if you can help me spread the good news and start selling your old or new stuffs.

New City of DeKalb? | News
ATLANTA - It seems like new cities are constantly cropping up around metro Atlanta and now there's talk about turning one of its major counties into a city.
That would be unincorporated DeKalb County, which is gradually shrinking like Fulton County.
It would also become Georgia's largest city with 600,000 residents and 200 square miles.
Thursday morning a special Georgia Senate Committee, chaired by Sen. Gloria Butler (D-DeKalb) heard testimony about the proposal at the State Capitol.
She and others, who tend to favor cityhood for DeKalb County, point to new cities that eat away at the tax base, leaving a bigger burden for taxpayers in unincorporated DeKalb.
"People don't want to see that, because they don't want to have to pay more," Sen. Butler told 11Alive News.
"People are struggling these days and I think that would hurt them," she added.
The whole point is money.
Not only the tax dollars taken away from counties when new cities are created, but also those franchise fees you pay on your utility bills.
Cities can collect the fees, but counties can't.
A University of Georgia study suggests DeKalb County may be missing out on $30-million in franchise fee revenue.
DeKalb also expects to lose about $40-million in fees and taxes to the new city of Brookhaven.
Some, like DeKalb County's only Republican Senator, say the county should simply shrink its budget with its size.
"Unfortunately, what DeKalb County has done, they've continued to keep the people on the payroll even though they no longer provide the services, whether it was police or whether it was parks, etc.," Sen. Fran Millar (R-DeKalb) told 11Alive News.
Before mostly Democratic unincorporated DeKalb County can become a city, the Republican controlled State Legislature would have to approve it.
While they've allowed several Republican heavy metro suburbs to create new cities the past few years, most don't expect lawmakers to approve the same for DeKalb any time soon.

by jodieclark
Sydney, Australia
So I'm a little behind on the times here but I made my first Hollyburn Skirt! I say first because I am certain there will be more! Very certain.
This was my first time working with an indie pattern (gasp!) and it was such a pleasure. The instructions were clear and had great pictures and I felt confident at every step. I enjoyed it so much I actually stretched it out over a couple of days to get the maximum amount of sewing enjoyment out of it. Sewing dork alert.

"Men in Trees" actress Anne Heche claims that she deserves sole legal custody of her 5-year-old son Homer because her soon-to-be-ex husband, Coley Laffoon, masturbates too much. Seriously.
In court papers filed earlier this week and obtained by TMZ, Heche claims that she can "no longer ignore an escalating pattern in Coley's behavior, including a particular preoccupation with sexually graphic material and masturbation."
In her previously filed documents, Heche claims Laffoon, rather than being Mr. Mom, dumps Homer at day care or with a nanny and watches porn and plays ping-pong all day.
Laffoon says Heche is "delusional" and is more concerned with her career than caring for their son.

Legislator lobbies for Beardsley Zoo
HARTFORD -- Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport got a big boost in the state budget-setting process Wednesday when a leader of a key legislative committee sang its praises.
But zoo director Gregg Dancho, while accepting the support, said there's still a long way to go before the Legislature's June 6 adjournment.
Rep. Toni Walker, D-New Haven, co-chairman of the budget-writing Appropriations Committee, made her remarks during a morning meeting reviewing Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's proposed budget with state economic development officials.
"I want to put a strong push, and it's not in my district, but it's the only zoo we have in the state of Connecticut," Walker said. "We look at things that our families in Connecticut can go to. We've got treasures."
Walker said the zoo's public outreach more than justifies the $360,000 in state funding budgeted this year and in Malloy's proposal for the next fiscal year starting July 1.
"To see a child for the first time see a bear or a lion, there's something about it," Walker said. "These are the things I want them to relate to. Beardsley Zoo is a wonderful treasure that we need to embrace a lot better than what we do. We have neglected that tremendously."
Dancho, in a phone interview from the zoo, said Wednesday that the zoo depends on state support to keep running and expanding.
Several times per legislative session, Dancho and zoo employees bring small animals to the Capitol complex to promote the zoo, which is run by the Connecticut Zoological Society.
The latest will be a $150,000 exhibit for an Amur leopard named Sophia, an endangered species of cat that can weigh 75 pounds. The leopard has been at the zoo for about three weeks.
"There are about 25 in the wild and people feel they won't survive," Dancho said of the hand-raised female, which they hope to make pregnant through artificial insemination.
The new Amur leopard habitat will occupy the former Andean bear exhibit. The endangered bear has moved to a zoo in West Virginia, joining a female, but Dancho hopes to someday have enough funding to bring him back.
The zoo, which gets about 250,000 visitors a year, will be the new home to as many as five Mexican wolves coming from California this spring.
Walker, speaking with the economic development officials, said that when Dancho brings an animal to visit lawmakers, it gives her a special thrill.
"I get a charge out of seeing the snake or the owl or something come up here and he poops on my shoulder and I feel blessed," Walker said.

If you're like most people, it's priceless. But for the hedge funds and insurance companies on Wall Street, it does have a price tag. And now, thanks to a new report by Global Exchange, we know the number on it: approximately $4.2 billion. That's how much the Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate (F.I.R.E.) sector has invested in political influence through campaign contributions and lobbying since 2006. That comes to $1,331 a minute spent on political power.
The new report is called "Meet the F.I.R.E. Sector: How Wall Street Is Burning Democracy." It was developed by Elect Democracy, a nonpartisan effort by Global Exchange to expose and challenge the impact of corporate money in U.S. politics. The report contains extensive research tracking Wall Street's investment in political power, and analyzes exactly how Wall Street has secured what Global Exchange calls "industry-loyal voting practices" in Congress: by shoveling stacks of campaign cash in the direction of Congressional hopefuls from both major political parties.
That money lets these industries get what they want in Washington. The F.I.R.E. sector contributed $879 million to members of Congress since 2006, and took positions on 383 bills during the 112th Congress. For instance, they supported Free Trade Agreements with Korea, Panama, and Colombia in 2007, and backed the bailout in 2008. Bills they opposed include the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009, the Limited Homeowner and Investor Loss in Foreclosure Act of 2010, and the Stop Student Loan Interest Rate Hike Act of 2011.
At every turn, the F.I.R.E. sector demands special treatment for Wall Street while consumers, homeowners, and students get stuck with the bills. As Senator Bernie Sanders put it an interview with MSNBC this May, "Wall Street is extraordinarily powerful. Congress doesn't regulate them. The big banks regulate what Congress does."
That's no exaggeration. The Wall Street banks that received the lion's share of the $700 billion bailout in 2008 comprise the most vocal and deep-pocketed opposition to regulation of risky financial practices.
Follow the Money
Luckily, the F.I.R.E sector does have a weakness. It only works in the dark. When people know that their representatives are only supporting Wall Street causes because they've been bought off, they tend to stop wanting to vote for those representatives.
Elect Democracy has used the report to develop a new legislative scorecard that makes it easy for you to trace how your legislators voted on key issues such as the bank bailout, Wall Street reform, and free trade agreements. Not only that, but you can see for yourself how much money they received in campaign contributions from the F.I.R.E. sector, as well as what we call their "industry loyalty voting rate."
Global Exchange researchers calculated that rate for each Congressperson by comparing how often their votes matched the F.I.R.E. sector's lobbying position on the seven bills examined in the scorecard. As it turns out, the representatives who received the 25 biggest campaign contributions from the F.I.R.E. sector voted identically to Wall Street's lobby position 73 percent of the time, while the average House "loyalty rate" was a mere 56 percent.
States Close in on Citizens United
The movement for a constitutional amendment to end corporate personhood has gained some powerful new allies.
Many complex factors affect how legislators vote, but corporate sponsorship shouldn't be one of them. Even on Wall Street's gilded beltway, the F.I.R.E sector companies can't literally buy political representation—at least, not yet. Instead, they use money to buy influence over voters to elect certain legislators, who they then use lobbyists to influence.
Most Americans value democracy and despise corruption, so a spotlight on this process could leave the F.I.R.E. sugar daddies powerless. The more toxic bank money candidates accept, the more vulnerable they are to having the source of their money exposed.
The goals of this project are not to tell anyone who to vote for, but to get everyone to follow the money; not to influence the outcome of any one election, but to spark dialogue about accountability and transparency, and to stop Wall Street from burning our priceless democracy; to together expose how Wall Street's campaign money is toxic for democracy, and amplify the message that our democracy is not for sale.
- Check out this of Wall Street spending in politics since 2006.
How we can call out the myths, restructure the banking system, shut down the con game, and take back America.
Debt—and the shame that surrounds it—is the tie that binds the 99 percent. Can young people reimagine it as something productive, rather than a tool for profiteering?

Friends/Family reaction to your love of anime....
Well most of my friends like animes and mangas, so i guess it brought us closer because of a common interest... As for my family, my parents don't care either way. My sister was a little put off at first but then she started watching animes with me and loves them now. She is also interested in starting mangas. So I guess it is bringing us closer.
To quote my dad: 'What a load of old shite'. TBH I'm beginning to see what he means as I havn't found anything decent in a good while
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
No reactions. My family, acquaintances and strangers never shown any negative response to when I enjoyed anime and manga.
My brother said i was lame and nerdy for watching it and was against it. I bribed him to watch one episode of full metal alchemist it from then on FMA was our show. then we started watching DBZ. I got him so addicted to it.
Im back. How was studyville you ask? Judging by that question, you should visit.
Parents are always at work plus I'm a only child.
Aside from my home being completely "haunted" at least you don't get any wide-eyed stares coming from your family and siblings when they "accidentally" walk in on you.
Heck... at least I get the benefit of enjoying anime by myself.
They don't care.

Yea I know what you mean my sis is at college so basically only child and both my parents work in a hospital so only time I see them is during dinner unless my mom went in early for surgery then I see an extra 30 min of her .... But I like my life style , it makes me independent and value human contact but it sucks when u watched all ur animes and u can't find any new good ones but u also get to be as creative as you want all the time with no fear of getting weird looks
Lu's it made it easier to come out to my parents cuz I would not see them as much as a normal guy would but to answer the original question ...... My friends like anime and my parents couldn't give a crap all they care about is that I'm being exposed to a different language
A couple of my friends introduced me to Anime.
My sister says I'm weird, but I don't really care.
~ωє'яє αℓℓ ιηƒєcтє∂~ υкιуσ ωαѕ нєяє c:
I am the only one in my family that's into anime. My siblings think anime is nerdy. Some of my friends like it, some don't. It's not a big deal.
Finished Re-Zero. It was good but not a fave.
My dad don't care, literally he asked "You like those asian cartoons?" Me: "Yup." Him: "Cool."
Moms reaction was a tad surprised and freaked out, she knows i'm an odd person so she wasn't really negative about it. My brother rolls his eyes at my "Crazy asian stuff."
Their reactions to my interests is quite entertaining.
Waste time before time wastes you
My parents doesn't really said anything but they do support me.
It's like my whole family are into anime.
Constant ridicule that I ignore like a baws.
I don't live with insanity, Insanity lives with me.
My parents don't ask about the posters in my room, and I don't watch anime in front of them.
They're also gone for work most of the time, so one day while they were gone I introduced anime to my siblings. They love it.
My friends know I'm into anime and they don't mind. I've got a couple friends who are otaku as well so I'm good.
When it comes to other people in my school and anime in general, you can kinda say its towards negative. My teacher called conventions 'a place where complete nerds get together and make fools of themselves'. I'm still holding a grudge toward him for that. Then when I said I've been to a con, my classmates gave me weird looks. In any case, I don't care what they think :3
My friends love anime and my a large portion of my family thinks most of the anime I watch is a spawn of satan. Ever since I was caught watching Dokuro-chan...they find lots of anime I watch "offensive" my mother likes anime though and she's able to understand the plots of anime and grasp it. Its really nice to watch anime with her..just not with the majority in the bloodline.
You better check yourself before you Shrek yourself
my friends and family dont really care cause i've always watched pokemon and naruto, but when watching other shows like the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya or deathnote, basically shows that aren't on tv here they think im a bit strange but thats probably because i am.
