• Efficiency and Certainty in Uncertain Times: The Material Adverse Change Clause Revisited

What role do material adverse change clauses play in merger agreements? This Note analyzes the increasing importance of material adverse change clauses in economic downturns and examines their evolution and judicial interpretation. The Note argues that the vagueness of these clauses leads courts to construe them narrowly and fail to effectuate the intent of contracting parties, ultimately creating uncertainty in merger agreements and failing to accomplish the goals of contracting parties. The Note concludes that replacing material adverse change clauses with reverse termination fees will better serve the parties' goals and uphold contract principles, yielding more efficient outcomes while reducing unnecessary litigation.

• Merchant law in a merchant court: rethinking the Code's search for immanent business norms.

The Uniform Commercial Code's (UCC's) approach to adjudication based on application of immanent business norms is misguided, as suggested by the more formalistic approach taken by the National Grain and Feed Association's arbitration system. A safe harbor should be included in the UCC to give merchants the ability to select their preferred combination of legal and extralegal standards. Merchants distinguish between relationship-preserving and end-game norms, a distinction that is eradicated by the UCC's approach.
