• Better Business / Be Wary of Devices That Purport to Cut Fuel Use, Emissions

Dozens of products are being marketed that purport to cut fuel use, save money and protect the environment. The problem is many of the products make bogus claims. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has tested more than 100 devices that claim to increase gas mileage and found that none offered substantial savings. Most were harmless, but some could damage your engine.

• Enforcement of Subsidiary and Affiliate Contracts by the FDIC as Receiver of a Covered Financial Company

The FDIC is proposing a rule (``Proposed Rule''), with request for comments, that implements section 210(c)(16) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the ``Dodd-Frank Act'' or the ``Act''), codified at 12 U.S.C. section 5390(c)(16), which permits the Corporation, as receiver for a financial company whose failure would pose a significant risk to the financial stability of the United States (a ``covered financial company''), to enforce contracts of subsidiaries or affiliates of the covered financial company despite contract clauses that purport to terminate, accelerate, or provide for other remedies based on the insolvency, financial condition or receivership of the covered financial company.

• Mere Platitudes: The "Domino Effect" of School-Search Cases on the Fourth Amendment Rights of Every American

Many scholars bemoan recent court decisions that all but abolish the Fourth Amendment in public schools. Both scholars and dissenting judges largely confine these protests to the impact upon students and rights within the schoolhouse gate, perhaps because courts themselves purport to limit their decisions to the school context. This Note looks critically at recent school-search jurisprudence with a different concern: that diluting the Fourth Amendment rights of students in public schools dilutes the Fourth Amendment rights of all Americans. It explores the interactions between school-search cases and other search cases and argues that these interactions produce a "Domino Effect"; as courts revise legal standards and show great deference for school searches in an effort to uphold them, t...

• Ricci V. Destefano: Does It Herald an 'Evil Day,' or Does It Lack 'Staying Power'?

Employers who take such steps should enjoy substantial protection from liability in both conventional and "reverse" discrimination suits. [...] Ricci creates a strong-basis-in-evidence defense for employers who decide, even after administering and scoring tests, to discard test results that have an unjustified adverse impact. [...] despite Justice Scalia' s constitutional concerns, Ricci does not purport to overturn the decades of case law and two congressional amendments that establish the disparate-impact standard and the manner in which it applies to Title VII cases brought by minorities or women.
