Helen Kane was one of the biggest stars at the end of the flapper era in 1928-1930. Then the great depression hit and her career fell apart. In 1931 the cartoon character "Betty Boop" was launched. Kane sued the studio for commercial exploitation, arguing they stole her look, her act, her voice, and her catch phrase "boop-oop-a-doop." What do you think of the case? How might you win the case if you represented the movie studio? How might you win the case if you represented the studio and had no ethics? (By the way, most legal scholars think the defence put on perjured testimony)

INSTANT ANSWER

Many administrative agencies. such at the Federal Trade Commission and the Internal Revenue Service, have the power to promulgate regulations that have the force of law, to conduct investigations of potential violations of those reglations, to bring charges against people for allegedly violating the regulations, and to try the cases in their own administrative law courts presided over by administrative law judges who are agency employees. Does this fit in with the Constitutional principle of separation of powers? What safeguards, if any, are advisable to protect individual rights?
