Prosecuting Poverty, Criminalizing Care, Wendy A. Bach
Prosecuting Poverty, Criminalizing Care, Wendy A. Bach
Scholarly Works
In 2013, state legislators sitting at the heart of America’s opiate epidemic created the crime of fetal assault. Although they offered a fairly standard series of criminologic rationales to justify the legislation, they also posited that the creation of this crime was a precondition to secure treatment (or care) resources for women addicted to opiates. This extraordinary supposition—that criminalizing conduct creates a road to care—is an outgrowth of three interlinked socio-legal trends: the building of the carceral state, the criminalization of poverty, and the rapid growth, since the late 1980s, of a new generation of problem-solving courts. Framed in this …

This chapter from Peter W. Morgan & Glenn H. Reynolds, "The Appearance of Impropriety: How The Ethics Wars Have Undermined American Government, Business, and Society" describes how the combination of politically inspired prosecutions and indeterminate criminal offenses has served to undermine fairness and faith in government.
Excerpt: "In the old days, we would refrain from ringing up the cops until after there was fairly clear evidence of a crime, such as Professor Plum lying in a pool of blood in the conservatory. Off everyone would go looking for clues, with the concrete fact of Professor Plum's corpse to focus their …

Minimizing And Addressing Implicit Bias In The Workplace: Be Proactive, Part One, Shamika Dalton
Scholarly Works
Librarians and information professionals cannot hide from bias: a prejudice for or against something, someone, or a group. As human beings, we all have biases. However, implicit biases are ones that affect us in an unconscious manner. Awareness of our implicit biases, and how they can affect our colleagues and work environment, is critical to promoting an inclusive work environment. Part one of this two-part article series will focus on implicit bias: what is implicit bias, how these biases affect the work environment, and best practices for reducing these biases within recruitment, hiring, and retention in the library workplace.

The Politics Of Selecting Chevron Deference, Kent H. Barnett, Christina L. Boyd, Christopher J. Walker
Scholarly Works
In this article, we examine an important threshold question in judicial behavior and administrative law: When do federal circuit courts decide to use the Chevron deference framework and when do they select a framework that is less deferential to the administrative agency's statutory interpretation? The question is important because the purpose of Chevron deference is to give agencies-not judges-policy-making space within statutory interpretation. We expect, nonetheless, that whether to invoke the Chevron framework is largely driven by political dynamics, with judges adopting a less deferential standard when their political preferences do not align with the agency's decision. To provide insight, …
Unregulated Charity, Eric Franklin Amarante
Unregulated Charity, Eric Franklin Amarante
Scholarly Works
The vast majority of charities in the United States operate in a regulatory blind spot: they are neither meaningfully evaluated when they apply for charitable status nor substantively monitored after they receive charitable status. Driven by severe budget constraints, the IRS decided to essentially ignore any charity that claims it will realize less than $50,000 in annual gross receipts. From a practical perspective, the IRS’s decision makes sense. To the extent smaller charities are less likely to cause harm, it is reasonable (perhaps even preferable) to subject them to less scrutiny. This type of prioritization, known as risk-based regulation, has …
Potential Legal Issues In Terminating The Ascap And Bmi Decrees, Maurice Stucke, Allen P. Grunes
Potential Legal Issues In Terminating The Ascap And Bmi Decrees, Maurice Stucke, Allen P. Grunes
Scholarly Works
This paper addresses some of the likely challenges that the DOJ would face should it seek to terminate the ASCAP and BMI consent decrees.
In Part I, we provide some background on ASCAP and BMI, the consent decrees, and market structure. In Part II, we discuss how these two decrees have become an important part of the legal scaffolding for licensing music over the past 70 years.
Given the important role the decrees have played in mitigating the antitrust risks from ASCAP and BMI while promoting the efficiencies from collective licensing, Part III examines the legal standard the federal court …

The Rise Of Market Urbanism, Michael Lewyn
The Rise Of Market Urbanism, Michael Lewyn
Scholarly Works
Compares market urbanism to new urbanism and to defenders of suburban sprawl. Like new urbanists, market urbanists find urban life to be socially valuable, and emphasize that sprawl is not always in line with consumer preferences. But market urbanists are more likely to emphasize the role of government regulation in creating suburbanization, and to oppose anti-sprawl land use regulations.

Let's Not Give Up On Traditional For-Profit Corporations For Sustainable Social Enterprise, Joan Macleod Heminway
Let's Not Give Up On Traditional For-Profit Corporations For Sustainable Social Enterprise, Joan Macleod Heminway
Scholarly Works
The past ten years have witnessed the birth of (among other legal business forms) the low-profit limited liability company (commonly known as the L3C), the social purpose corporation, and the benefit corporation. The benefit corporation has become a legal form of entity in over 30 states. The significant number of state legislative adoptions of new social enterprise forms of entity indicates that policy makers believe these alternative forms of entity serve a purpose (whether legal or extra legal).
The rise of specialty forms of entity for social enterprise, however, calls into question, for many, the continuing role of the traditional …

Access To Justice And Routine Legal Services: New Technologies Meet Bar Regulators, Benjamin H. Barton
Access To Justice And Routine Legal Services: New Technologies Meet Bar Regulators, Benjamin H. Barton
Scholarly Works
We are in the early stages of a technological revolution in legal services. Technology is displacing lawyers in a wide array of tasks such as document drafting, review, and assembly, and is also reshaping the way that lawyers find clients and deliver assistance. For most consumers, these are welcome developments. Such innovations generally reduce costs and increase both accessibility and efficiency. The potential gains are particularly great for low- and middle-income consumers, who lack access for a vast array of basic, often urgent, legal needs. Yet for lawyers, the consequences of technology have been more mixed. Many feel that their …

The Unsung Latino Entrepreneurs Of Appalachia, Eric Franklin Amarante
The Unsung Latino Entrepreneurs Of Appalachia, Eric Franklin Amarante
Scholarly Works
The story of Latinos in Appalachia, when told, is dominated by the plight of migrant workers drawn to meat processing factories or agricultural work, with very little attention paid to Latino. entrepreneurship in Appalachia. However, the first generation of migrant workers inspired a surprising collateral entrepreneurial effect: a raft of small businesses owned by (and focused on) the new Latino population surged into small town Appalachia. These businesses, which include restaurants, tiendas, pastelerias, and tortillerias, not only serve the growing Latino population, but also have a tremendously positive effect on local and state economies. These businesses hire employees, rent previously …

Managing Medicaid, Isaac ("Zack") D. Buck
Scholarly Works
In a steady but rapid march, managed care has come to Medicaid. Privatization has undoubtedly rebuilt the Medicaid landscape across America over the last three decades. Now, as managed care programs administer health care to three-in-four Medicaid beneficiaries nationwide, whether or not managed care is adequately managing America’s largest public insurance program has become an increasingly important question.
Of particular note have been states’ difficulties in constructing and organizing the bidding and selection processes of the private companies tasked with overseeing the administration of private Medicaid plans. Legal challenges to various states’ bid procurement processes have been well documented. These …
Silencing Discipline In Legal Education, Lucille Jewel
Silencing Discipline In Legal Education, Lucille Jewel
Scholarly Works
In current times, the production of critical legal knowledge has become constrained by a neoliberal education mindset that emphasizes economic performance and measured outcomes over critical thought. In this essay, I argue that academic freedom, in the sense of being free to speak, write, and teach critical knowledge, both in the intellectual sense and in the law practice sense, is being eroded. And, I urge my critically minded colleagues that are traditional law scholars (tenure-track or tenured) to consider the circumstances of law teachers who currently do not have the protections of tenure but who generate valuable knowledge, particularly in …

Here Are All The Reasons It’S A Bad Idea To Let A Few Tech Companies Monopolize Our Data, Maurice Stucke
Scholarly Works
Facebook, Google, Amazon, and companies like them are “data- opolies.” They control a key platform, which like a coral reef, attracts to its ecosystem users, sellers, advertisers, software developers, apps, and accessory makers. But is it ok for a few firms to possess so much data and thereby wield so much power? In the U.S., at least, antitrust officials so far seem ambivalent about these data-opolies. They’re free, the thinking goes, so what’s the harm? But that reasoning is misguided. Upon closer examination, data-opolies can actually be more dangerous than traditional monopolies. They can affect not only our wallets but …

Should We Be Concerned About Data-Opolies?, Maurice Stucke
Scholarly Works
With the rise of a progressive antitrust movement, the power of Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon is now topical. This article explores some of the potential harms from data-opolies. Data-opolies, in contrast to the earlier monopolies, are unlikely to exercise their power by charging higher prices to consumers. But this does not mean they are harmless. Data-opolies can raise other significant concerns, including less privacy, degraded quality, a transfer of wealth from consumers to data-opolies, less innovation and dynamic disruption in markets in which they dominate, and political and social concerns.
Data-opolies can also be more durable than some earlier …
