The purpose of this article is to both draw attention to the negative interplay between the proliferation of the multinational corporation (MNC) and the abusive employment of child labor, and to advocate a practical solution to the problem. Corporate codes, if optimally utilized, can make a tremendous difference in the area of child labor. These codes may also be used to address many other human rights and environmental issues. They derive their power from the consumer and are, therefore, not limited by the strictures of international legal polices. Where once corporations fought, to the detriment of their workforce, for cheaper sources of production, they may now battle for the publicity that attends socially conscious behavior. The key to maximizing the power of corporate codes is to ...

Maximization of shareholder profits may not be the best legal standard of corporate management. Primacy of shareholder interests can lead to job loss and detriment to the surrounding community. Wealth differentials mediate against the equal bargaining power assumed in the pervasive contractual default rule. Corporate law reform should allow for job security by modification of the contractual default rule and the at-will employment contract standard.

Shut this city down!" was the painful cry issued at the stunning completion of what Joseph Guzman called a "mockery of a trial," after Judge Arthur Cooperman acquitted Mike Oliver (31 shots), Gescard Isnora (11 shots) and Michael Cooper (four shots) in the tumultuous [Sean Elijah Bell] case. Outside Queens Criminal Court, some people all but fell out, and angry words smacked community affairs officers as emotion-filled Black people pushed to get out of the confined space created outside the courthouse, cordoned off by cops and TV cameras.
On April 25, 2008, in the packed courtroom of Judge Arthur Cooperman people awaiting his verdict were completely surrounded by an extra phalanx of court officers-two-by-two in the aisle and hugging the four sides of the courtroom. At exactly 9 a.m. Co...

These kids have pretty much been raised here. Why should we force them to be valet parkers or other menial workers?" [Juan Zapata] said. "Those kids who work that much harder, why should we shut the door on them when they finish high school - and to a certain degree, to our detriment?
"It's not fair to hard working legal students," said one parent of an American student, who would rather remain nameless. "I'm not prejudiced, but first our jobs, now our education; what next?" The university of her choice rejected this particular parent's child.
"As long as someone is trying to make a better life for themselves it shouldn't matter where they are from," Zapata said. "People come over to America in search of better living. We should not deny them the opportunity to live out their dream."

At the center of James Glassman's recent article titled "Decline of Ortega's Nicaragua" (Op-Ed, March 4), as an purported demonstration of the current government's intent of chasing away foreign investment, there is a mention of Law 364, literally called "Special Law for the Procedures of Lawsuits Promoted by People Affected by the use of DBCP-based Pesticides." It passed in 2000, seven years prior to the Ortega administration. Mr. Glassman refers to this as "how Nicaragua concocted a law to the severe detriment of foreign businesses." However, this law was created to establish specific procedures for legal processes in cases where the use of DBCP-based pesticides by companies in Nicaragua harmed human beings. It is important to note that in 1979, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agenc...

Despite Dupre's rather obvious thesis that public school First Amendment cases are "rife with complexity and controversy" (p. 237), her book should be considered for either required or secondary reading in media and society and media law courses because of its breadth, depth, and illumination, in some places rising to the level of legal affairs reporting that Nina Totenberg does for National Public Radio. Over Justice Hugo Black's objection that "taxpayers send children to school on the premise that, at their age, they need to learn, not teach," Justice Abe Fortas wrote famously in the majority opinion that neither students nor teachers "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.
