Does the United States Still Oppose Torture?
No full textFor the first time in history, the United States voted against the UN General Assembly’s periodic resolution condemning torture. The only other countries to do so were Argentina and Israel. 169 countries voted in favor. The U.S. vote, which took place last month, is hard to rationalize in any world that values the mandate of the United Nations to work toward international peace, security and human rights
No Exit
No full textFast-growing startups in search of capital and liquidity have traditionally sought to exit the private capital market through M&A or IPO. Until recently, antitrust enforcers rarely challenged startup acquisitions. But under the Biden administration, enforcers worried about the growing dominance of Big Tech sued to block more startup deals. Since antitrust restricts M&A but not IPOs, one might expect that greater antitrust enforcement would cause startups to substitute one kind of exit for another, leading to more IPOs. That did not happen. While M&A and IPOs both provide liquidity, they are not perfect substitutes. We model heterogeneity in M&A and IPO pricing to explore how increased antitrust enforcement impacts venture capital. Economies of scale and scope, synergies, regulatory costs, market power, and market cyclicality can cause IPO valuations to fall significantly below M&A prices. And heightened antitrust scrutiny can reduce the value of an IPO by undermining one of its main advantages: access to publicly traded equity that can be used as currency for future acquisitions.
In this Article, we show how startups have responded to the antitrust crackdown not by choosing a different exit but by choosing no exit. Startups are easing liquidity pressure by letting employees cash out their shares in tender offers. Venture capitalists are extending their exit horizons by forming continuation funds. Would-be acquirers have developed new structures to evade antitrust law, such as the centaur—a private company funded by public company cash flows—and the reverse acquihire—a mass employee exodus from a startup to a public tech company, coupled with a cloaked payoff to the startup’s investors. We explain the implications of these changes for competition policy, capital formation, and the continuing erosion of transparency into socially important businesses

The Right to Exit Religion
No full textThis Article argues that just over fifty years ago, in Wisconsin v. Yoder, the Supreme Court recognized what might be called a right to exit religion. In this decision, the Court expressed appreciation for preserving insular religious communities, while simultaneously articulating the principle that accommodations for such communities must not unduly restrict community members’ ability to exit should they wish to do so. Yet courts and scholars have largely overlooked Yoder’s recognition of a right to exit religion. To make this “right” more concrete, the Article examines impediments to it through a case study of one large insular religious community—the Hasidic community in New York—and shows how the ability to exit can, in practice, be illusory. By examining the Hasidic education system and custody disputes, the Article demonstrates that impediments to exit arise not only from internal communal practices but also, at times, from the state and courts themselves
The Next Century Of Challenges for the FAA
No full textAs the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) enters its second century, arbitration remains one of the most contested areas of modern dispute resolution. Praised for efficiency and accessibility, it is also challenged for issues of fairness, transparency, and equity. This year’s Melnick Symposium will explore how arbitration must evolve to meet the demands of justice in the decades ahead.
By addressing this theme, the Symposium seeks to imagine what the FAA’s next century should look like and how arbitration can become a more equitable, inclusive, and effective system of justice.https://larc.cardozo.yu.edu/flyers-2025-2026/1040/thumbnail.jp
