WTO CASE REVIEW
Raj Bhala and David A. Gantz
Arizona Journal of International and Comparative Law
Volume 19, Number 2, Summer 2002    p.457 LAW JOURNAL / LAW REVIEW
This is the second in an annual series of articles reviewing the “reports” (decisions) of the Appellate Body, the highest judicial entity of the World Trade Organization, in this instance covering the reports adopted by the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Body during 2001. Since its inception in 1995, the Appellate Body has issued more than forty reports, currently at a rate of eight or nine a year. These reports, applying and interpreting various provisions of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and the other WTO agreements, are perhaps the most significant single source of WTO jurisprudence. It is the authors’ intention to provide a comprehensive, critical summary of each of the reports as a useful and reliable record of WTO case law.

OH NO, GRANDMA HAS A COMPUTER: HOW INTERNET FRAUD WILL TAKE THE PLACE OF TELEMARKETING FRAUD TARGETING THE ELDERLY
Leda Mouallem
Santa Clara Law Review
Volume 42, Number 2, 2002    p.659 LAW JOURNAL / LAW REVIEW
The elderly have long been targets and victims of telemarketing fraud. Recognizing this problem, government and law enforcement agencies have collaborated to combat this type of fraud. In 1994, Congress passed the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act. This Act grants the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) broad authority to regulate telemarketing fraud and allows both state and federal officials to prosecute criminals. In 1995, following Congress’s lead, the FTC enacted the Telemarketing Sales Rule, which specifically defines and prohibits deceptive telemarketing practices. The Senior Citizens Against Marketing Scams Act of 1994 added to the regulatory powers provided for in the Telemarketing Act and imposed more severe penalties for telemarketing fraud perpetrated against the elderly. Additional legislation has been proposed that specifically attempts to protect the elderly from telemarketing fraud. While these efforts have helped combat telemarketing fraud against seniors, advancements in technology, such as the Internet, pose a new problem for government and law enforcement. This comment addresses the newest form of fraud perpetrated against the elderly, Internet fraud, and its potential to run rampant if it is not effectively combated. First, this comment evaluates the evergrowing elderly population and their increasing use of the Internet. Next, this comment explores advances in technology that may benefit fraud perpetrators. Specifically, the author explores Internet connection methods and devices and argues that due to advances in technology, current legislation does not effectively prevent Internet fraud. The comment concludes by proposing new legislation, as well as alternative solutions for preventing Internet fraud that targets the elderly.
