Item Section 16(b): Judicial Inconsistency in Application of the Pragmatic Approach(Texas Tech Law Review, 1974) Acker, Charles RodneyExamines the scope and application of section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Initially introduced to rectify abuse by corporate insiders, section 16 has becomes the focus of controversy because of the inconsistency of application and interpretation of section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act. The author concludes that the inconsistency of recent court decisions has created confusion in the application of section 16(b) to merger situations. As a result, the author suggests courts should clarify what approach will be taken to these cases to provide the attorney with some degree of predictability. If an equitable approach cannot be found, the SEC should reconsider the exemption of these transactions.Item When the Mother Dies, an Unwed Father Is Deprived of Due Process if the State Takes His Child Without a Hearing on His Fitness as a Parent(Texas Tech Law Review, 1972) Acker, Charles RodneyDiscussion involves a state taking away an unwed father’s children without proper due process. The Court held that states must give notice to unwed fathers and conduct a hearing before taking custody away from the father.
