    Ogden v. Gibbons, Heart of Atlanta Motel, and Solid waste cases are all closely related to the 2012 U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding the constitutionality of the Obamacare act. Each case deals with the specifics of commerce, mostly with commerce “among the states.” With the commerce clause being viewed from many different perspectives over time, it has given great importance to the meaning of our laws and regulations that we have set today. These three cases alone along with the Obamacare act, have affected the way interstate commerce is viewed. The most commonly used commerce clause in Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution, is the cause of the “power to regulate Commerce..among several states.”…

    Case Activities 1 Spotlight on AOL The facts presented in this scenario state that AOL, LLC was a brought a suit filed by 650,000 members for making their personal information public. The members alleged that AOL was in violation of California law.

    In 2012, after almost eight years of litigation, the parties announced that they had agreed to the largest class action settlement in US antitrust history. Judge Gleeson took an unusual approach to his supervision of the case. Having previously overseen the 2003 settlement of an earlier antitrust class action against Visa and MasterCard related to the acceptance of debit cards, Judge Gleeson clearly believed that there should be a final resolution of merchants’ grievances. While Judge Gleeson indicated that default interchange, and Honor all Cards/Issuers and related matters should be resolved by legislation, in the face of congressional inaction, the litigation was poised to put these issues to bed, once and for all.…

    The Slants have a very good chance on winning this battle, due to their proud and positive definition of the word. The Supreme Court will probably justify that the Lanham Act is going against the First Amendment and is ruining the band’s freedom of speech. Due to their name being more of a favorable meaning than the anticipated racial slur, the court will rule with “The Slants”, as they will see the band is trying to do good and transform this into a positive badge. This case although, may not be the landmark case that all the professional teams are hoping for. Even though The Slants may be able to get away with this, this case will not help out any of the other trademark disparagement cases.…

    I assisted in avoiding litigation by continuing to stay in front of, not just important notices, but all FINRA matters. On a weekly basis, I dedicate time to visiting FINRA’s website and I peruse though the “Recent Updates” section, looking through each of the items under the “What’s New”, “Notices”, “Open Requests”, “Rule Filings”, and “Communications to Firms”. In addition to reviewing the items posted on FINRA’s website, I also receive emails from the SEC regarding different items that I subscribed to on their website on a daily basis. Furthermore, I have attended a handful of NSCP Conferences, which is equally as important as the previous two items, because discussing with my peers and colleagues the items that they are seeing and going…
