This book is the first of its kind to take stock of this emerging multi-disciplinary field by synthesizing what we know, identifying what we do not know and obstacles to future research, and charting a course for the future inquiry. Chapters by leading scholars cover major topics – from disinformation to hate speech to political advertising – and situate recent developments in the context of key policy questions. In addition, the book canvasses existing reform proposals in order to address widely perceived threats that social media poses to democracy. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. Nathaniel Persily is the James B. McClatchy Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and the Co-Director of the Stanford Cyber Policy Center and Stanford Project on Democracy and the Internet. His scholarship focuses on the law and technology of democracy.

  • California Style Manual
    CALIFORNIA STYLE MANUAL Fourth Edition A HANDBOOK OF LEGAL STYLE FOR CALIFORNIA COURTS AND LAWYERS By Edward W. Jessen Reporter of Decisions for the Supreme Court and Courts of Appeal .W4-23370-9 ©1942, 1961, 1977, 1986,2000 by the Supreme Court of California Page composition by Imagelnk, San Francisco Cover design by Side by Side Designs, San Francisco Editiorial preparation and manufacturing West Group, California's Official Legal Publisher FOREWORD For almost 60 years, the legal community of California has benefited from the publication of the California Style Manual. The manual provides a guide to standard legal style in the appellate courts, and benefits litigants and jurists alike by establishing a common stylistic base that permits read- ers to focus readily on substance rather than form. In the 14 years since publication of the third edition of the Style Manual, much has changed in the processes used for creating legal docu- ments. A personal computer on the desk is now the rule rather than the exception for most lawyers and judges. At the same time, the availability of diverse reference resources has expanded the ease and scope of research. This latest revision of the manual reflects and responds to many of the changes that the legal profession has experienced, while maintaining a steady hold on the practices that have served the courts and the profession so well. I extend my appreciation to the Reporter of Decisions and those who have assisted him in the task of revising this valuable reference tool. Ronald M. George Chief Justice of California iii SUPREME COURT APPROVAL To the Reporter of Decisions: Pursuant to the authority conferred on the Supreme Court of Cali- fornia by Government Code section 68902, the California Style Manual, Fourth Edition, as submitted to this court for review is approved and adopted as the official organ for the styles to be used in the publication of the Official Reports.

  • Does Insider Trading Law Change Behavior? an Empirical Analysis
    Does Insider Trading Law Change Behavior? An Empirical Analysis Menesh S. Patel* Few issues in securities law have excited the popular imagination and generated scholarly interest like insider trading. Yet, a simple but foundational question about insider trading law has received relatively little scholarly attention: Does insider trading law actually influence the amount of insider trading that occurs? This Article tackles this question in the context of one of the highest-profile changes in insider trading law in decades — the Second Circuit’s seminal 2014 decision in United States v. Newman, which substantially weakened insider trading law concerning so-called “tippee” liability. The Article’s empirical approach exploits Newman’s change in law to evaluate the effects of changes in insider trading law on insider trading. The Article focuses on insider trading in advance of mergers announced in periods before and after Newman and, for its measure of the extent of insider trading, uses the run-up in the stock price of the merger target in advance of the merger’s public announcement. Based on that measure, the Article finds that Newman had a dramatic effect on insider trading, with significantly greater insider trading occurring after Newman than before, thereby providing strong empirical evidence that insider trading is responsive to changes in insider trading law. The Article provides the first empirical analysis of whether a specific judicial change in insider trading law can influence the amount of insider trading beyond just the trading of corporate insiders. The Article’s empirical findings advance * Copyright © 2019 Menesh S. Patel. Acting Professor of Law, UC Davis School of Law.
