Navigating Legal Ethics And Law School Curricula: Attempting To Find Technology Competency Without A Compass, Jessica De Perio Wittman, Kathleen (Katie) Brown
Navigating Legal Ethics And Law School Curricula: Attempting To Find Technology Competency Without A Compass, Jessica De Perio Wittman, Kathleen (Katie) Brown
Faculty Articles and Papers
Comment 8 of Model Rule 1.1 of the Professional Rules of Conduct requires attorneys to be ethically accountable for technology competence. However, the drafting of the language of Rule 1.1 is vague. As a result, attorneys, law firms, and law schools apply Rule 1.1 differently and emphasize topics they deem most important. Per American Bar Association (ABA) Standard 301, law schools must maintain a rigorous program of legal education that prepares their students for effective, ethical, and responsible participation as members of the legal profession. Law schools have summarily responded to Rule 1.1 and Standard 301 by adding and offering …
Physical Fitness And The Police: The Case For Unisex Testing, Peter Siegelman
Physical Fitness And The Police: The Case For Unisex Testing, Peter Siegelman
Connecticut Law Review
Many jurisdictions require applicants for police jobs to take physical fitness tests, many of which have easier passing requirements for women than for men. While the goal of increasing women’s representation among police is laudable, this Article argues that the use of gendered cutoff scores violates Title VII for two distinct reasons: not only does it constitute disparate treatment under the core provision of the statute, but it also violates a separate Section that expressly bars the use of different cutoff scores by gender. (Surprisingly, the very few cases to have considered these issues have wrongly concluded that gendered cutoff …
Victims’ Participation In An Era Of Multi-Door Criminal Justice, Béatrice Coscas-Williams, Hadar Dancig-Rosenberg, Michal Alberstein
Victims’ Participation In An Era Of Multi-Door Criminal Justice, Béatrice Coscas-Williams, Hadar Dancig-Rosenberg, Michal Alberstein
Connecticut Law Review
Victims’ right to participate in their cases—to hear and be heard—has gained formal recognition in both common law and continental legal cultures over the past two decades. Paradoxically, even as victims’ rights are acknowledged, their participation in the judicial process is increasingly circumscribed due to the proliferation of abbreviated and efficiency oriented judicial procedures. Focusing on this paradox, this Article uncovers and analyzes the level of victims’ participation in an era of convergence and transformation of legal cultures and traditions. By exploring new ways to conceptualize the role of victims within contemporary criminal legal systems, this Article explores various and …
The Mature Minor Doctrine And Covid Vaccination In Connecticut, Brianna Cyr
The Mature Minor Doctrine And Covid Vaccination In Connecticut, Brianna Cyr
Connecticut Law Review
The mature minor doctrine is an exception to the common law rule of parental informed consent for a child’s medical decisions. The mature minor doctrine is applicable as either doctrine or statute in some states, but not all. Connecticut currently upholds the common law view for a minor child’s medical decision-making authority. Consequently, one prominent topic of discussion in recent years deals with the Covid-19 pandemic and the public policy discussions over nation-wide vaccination efforts. Many minors, children legally under the age of eighteen, are looking to make their own medical decisions when dealing with vaccination for the Coronavirus. By …
Why Pushback To California’S Advanced Clean Cars Ii Policy Won’T Stop The Electric Car Revolution, Lily M. Pickett
Why Pushback To California’S Advanced Clean Cars Ii Policy Won’T Stop The Electric Car Revolution, Lily M. Pickett
Connecticut Law Review
In a move some have called the beginning of the end for the internal combustion engine, the California Air Resources Board has created regulations, Advanced Clean Cars II, to target California’s carbon pollution, banning the sale of new gas-powered cars and light trucks in the state by 2035. These regulations come from a special privilege held only by the state of California through a preemption waiver from the emissions regulations set by the Clean Air Act. Other states can sign on to California’s waiver, taking it from a special privilege to a second set of emissions regulations, almost equal in …
Closing The Renter-Sized Gap In The Inflation Reduction Act: How Housing Policy Can Help Climate Legislation Achieve Environmental Justice, Madison M. Schettler
Closing The Renter-Sized Gap In The Inflation Reduction Act: How Housing Policy Can Help Climate Legislation Achieve Environmental Justice, Madison M. Schettler
Connecticut Law Review
The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in August 2022 was an important step forward in American climate policy. The Act is essential to the United States’ goal of effective climate change mitigation efforts, and other countries have even begun to use it as a model for climate mitigation. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides the framework by which the United States will transition away from fossil fuels and move towards an energy grid powered predominantly by renewable sources. For the first time, the Act addresses head-on the climate and environmental injustices that exist in the United States due …
The Innocence Standard: Supreme Court Nominees And Sexual Misconduct, Lisa Avalos
The Innocence Standard: Supreme Court Nominees And Sexual Misconduct, Lisa Avalos
Connecticut Law Review
Should the United States Senate allow judicial nominees who have been credibly accused of sexual misconduct to be seated on the Supreme Court? How should we handle these allegations when they arise during the vetting process? Despite the importance of these questions, lawmakers have failed to address them.
The contentious Clarence Thomas hearings in 1991 featured testimony from Professor Anita Hill and did much to raise Americans’ awareness about the prevalence of sexual misconduct in the workplace. Although Professor Hill subsequently called for the Senate to implement a process for addressing future sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominees, her …
Privacy Policy Indeterminacy, Christopher G. Bradley
Privacy Policy Indeterminacy, Christopher G. Bradley
Connecticut Law Review
Despite being subjected to decades of sharp criticism, privacy policies published by companies remain a linchpin of privacy regulation. Representations in these policies provide the main measure against which consumer privacy can be judged. Policies are rarely read by consumers. Instead, these policies are interpreted by company decision makers tasked with interpreting whether a proposed course of action is consistent with stated policies as well as underlying privacy law. To be effective, policies must constrain use of consumer data even when they are given a company-friendly reading.
Experimental evidence on the interpretation of privacy policies provides no grounds for encouragement …

Using Single Cell Genomics To Explore The Impact Of Marine Viruses On Microbial Respiration., Paxton Tomko
Using Single Cell Genomics To Explore The Impact Of Marine Viruses On Microbial Respiration., Paxton Tomko
MCB Articles
Viral metabolic reprograming of marine prokaryotes, through the use of virally encoded auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs), plays a critical role in marine ecosystem function by influencing biochemical cycles and genetic diversity in these environments. Despite the fundamental role viruses play in global environmental ecosystems, they remain an understudied aspect of microbial ecology and evolution, in part due to the methods available for studying virus host interactions in natural systems. Thus far, metagenomic analyses have been used to study the interactions of virus host pairs, but these types of analyses have their limitations in accurately linking viruses to hosts, or culture-based …

Cited Data (Say So Much): A Case Study On What Data Sources Our Business Researchers Are Citing, Edward Junhao Lim, Jiebei Luo
Published Works
Data is the fuel of business research, but what kind of data do business researchers use, and how do they use it? In this presentation, we reveal the data sources and topics of hundreds of journal articles from two business schools - New York University Stern School of Business and the University of Connecticut School of Business. We analyze the full text of journal articles published between 2020 and 2022 to identify cited data sources and rank the most popular commercial, public, and open datasets. We highlight the top ten data sources for each school and each type of secondary …
A Parent’S Right To Obtain Puberty Blockers For Their Child, Megan Medlicott
A Parent’S Right To Obtain Puberty Blockers For Their Child, Megan Medlicott
Connecticut Law Review
Since Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade, many scholars have expressed concern over how the Dobbs decision may impact other privacy interests that previously have been recognized as protected rights under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause. The substantive due process right associated with a parent’s right to the care, control, and custody of their child, however, is situated differently in comparison to those rights presumably displaced by the Dobbs opinion. A parent’s right, unlike other rights recognized under the substantive due process doctrine, is objectively deeply rooted in our nation’s history and tradition, and is …
Adjudication Under The Individuals With Disabilities Education Act: Explicitly Plentiful Rights But Inequitably Paltry Remedies, Perry A. Zirkel
Adjudication Under The Individuals With Disabilities Education Act: Explicitly Plentiful Rights But Inequitably Paltry Remedies, Perry A. Zirkel
Connecticut Law Review
This Article proposes an invigoration in the exercise of the broad equitable authority of hearing officers under the Individuals with Disabilities Act. Providing a higher priority on, and an affirmative presumption for, remedying violations of the Act is in the interest of all parties, extending from the individual child to the child’s parents, the school district, the broader stakeholders, and the systemic improvements that is the statutory purpose. The task is not an easy one, especially given the rather tight timeline for completion of hearing officer proceedings, but it is doable with well-tailored creativity and efficiency. As the contents of …
The Public Trust: Administrative Legitimacy And Democratic Lawmaking, Katharine Jackson
The Public Trust: Administrative Legitimacy And Democratic Lawmaking, Katharine Jackson
Connecticut Law Review
This Article argues that recent United States Supreme Court decisions invalidating agency policymaking rely on a normatively unattractive and empirically mistaken notion of democratic popular sovereignty. Namely, they rely upon a transmission belt model that runs like this: democracy is vindicated by first translating and aggregating voter preferences through elections. Then, the popular will is transposed by members of Congress into the statute books. Finally, the popular will (now codified), is applied mechanically by administrative agencies who should merely “fill in the details” using their neutral, technical expertise. So long as statutes lay down sufficiently “intelligible principle[s]” that permit their …

The Devil Made Me Do It: An Argument For Expanding The Anti-Kickback Statute To Cover Private Payers, Chinelo Diké-Minor
The Devil Made Me Do It: An Argument For Expanding The Anti-Kickback Statute To Cover Private Payers, Chinelo Diké-Minor
Connecticut Law Review
Private health insurance is the predominant source of health insurance coverage in the United States. Yet, the primary criminal anti-kickback law in the United States, the Anti-Kickback Statute, applies only to certain government-funded health insurance payers. This Article argues that the Anti-Kickback Statute should be expanded to protect all health insurance payers, including private ones. First, the harms that kickbacks cause— overutilization and fraud, patient harm, and an undermining of a competitive health care market—extend to private payers and their beneficiaries and any harms unique to government payers can be addressed through sentencing enhancements. Second, Congress has previously justified excluding …

Metaresearch, Psychology, And Law: A Case Study On Implicit Bias, Jason M. Chin, Alex O. Holcombe, Kathryn Zeiler, Patrick S. Forscher, Ann Guo
Connecticut Law Review
When can scientific findings from experimental psychology be confidently applied to legal issues? When applications have clear limits, do legal commentators readily acknowledge them? To address these questions, we survey recent findings from an emerging field of research on research (i.e., metaresearch). We find that many aspects of experimental psychology’s research and reporting practices threaten the validity and generalizability of legally relevant research findings, including those relied on by courts and policy-setting bodies. As a case study, we appraise the empirical claims relied on by commentators claiming that measures designed to estimate implicit bias are valid, that implicit bias causes …

Disrupting Dominance, Cinnamon P. Carlarne, Keith H. Hirokawa
Connecticut Law Review
Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to human health and well-being. It also poses enormous challenges to the rule of law. As climate change progresses and climate impacts intensify, it becomes increasingly urgent to consider whether and how we are drawing upon the law as a tool to advance human adaptation to climate change. Equally, we must consider whether and how the evolving rule of law around climate change responds to existing patterns of social, political, and economic inequality. These are the questions this article engages.
As a starting point, this Article centers human vulnerability as a necessary …

Exploring The Effects Of Christian Worldviews On Heart Rate, Stress, And Adjustment After Loss In Bereaved Individuals, Emma Radini Ratnavel
Exploring The Effects Of Christian Worldviews On Heart Rate, Stress, And Adjustment After Loss In Bereaved Individuals, Emma Radini Ratnavel
Honors Scholar Theses
The objective of this study is to investigate the correlation between Christian values, perceptions of God, and physiological stress, assessed through heart rate, among individuals who are experiencing grief due to the loss of a loved one. Previous studies have analyzed various physiological effects on the body. There are very few studies that examine the correlation between Christian values and heart rate in bereaved participants. To explore these topics further, this study analyzes 59 undergraduate students who have recently lost a loved one, identify as a Christian, and are at least 18 years old. The participants' perceptions of God and …
Designing A Mhealth App-Based Intervention To Address The Harm Reduction Needs Of Malaysian Men Who Have Sex With Men (Msm) Who Engage In Chemsex: Findings From A Qualitative Study, Christopher Uyar, Francesca Maviglia, Jeffery Wickersham, Antoine Khati, Olivia Kennedy, Nicholas Copenhaver, Mohd Akbar Ab Halim, Wan Mohd Ikhtiaruddin, Isklander Azwa, Kamal Gautam, Roman Shrestha
Designing A Mhealth App-Based Intervention To Address The Harm Reduction Needs Of Malaysian Men Who Have Sex With Men (Msm) Who Engage In Chemsex: Findings From A Qualitative Study, Christopher Uyar, Francesca Maviglia, Jeffery Wickersham, Antoine Khati, Olivia Kennedy, Nicholas Copenhaver, Mohd Akbar Ab Halim, Wan Mohd Ikhtiaruddin, Isklander Azwa, Kamal Gautam, Roman Shrestha
Honors Scholar Theses
Background:
Chemsex (the use of drugs by men who have sex with men (MSM) to enhance the sexual experience) is being identified as an increasingly common phenomenon. In Malaysia, where drug use and homosexuality are criminalized, chemsex fosters multiple and simultaneous risk-taking behaviors that endanger MSM's well-being and safety. Exacerbating these risks is the intolerant Malaysian sociopolitical environment that foregoes support and victimizes MSM. Malaysian MSM is thus a hidden and at-risk population.
Objective:
We probed Malaysian MSM's thoughts and opinions to guide the development of a potential chemsex mHealth intervention. This hypothetical app-based intervention could serve as a harm-reduction …

Benchmarking Lossless Still Image Codecs: Perspectives On Selected Compression Standards From 1992 Through 2022, Michael J. Bennett
Published Works
As complementary technologies evolve, data compression continues to be a foundational aspect of growing digital collections. In this study, selected lossless still image codecs from 1992 through 2022 were benchmarked across a variety of efficiency and performance measures using reference images from cultural heritage. Additionally, entropy estimates were calculated by source image to assist in characterizing image information and evaluating encoder efficiency against assessed feasible compression limits. Encoder designs and compression techniques were also examined in the context of the study’s measured results.
Selfish Genetic Elements In Actinobacteriophages, Catherine Jennings
Selfish Genetic Elements In Actinobacteriophages, Catherine Jennings
Honors Scholar Theses
This research studies a methylase family in Actinobacteriophages that has been invaded by three different elements: an intein, an additional homing endonuclease and a domain of unknown function. Selfish genomic elements such as inteins and Homing Endonucleases are often found inserted into the exteins of Actinobacteriophages. These elements can spread through different bacteriophage lineages over time through the mechanisms of homing. The ShiLan domain, a found insertion that was found inserted in the ShiLan phage, an intein, and a Homing Endonuclease domain have been found inserted into a DNA methylase. The evolutionary history of these insertions within the DNA methylase …

Climate Justice In The Anthropocene And Its Relationship With Science And Technology: The Importance Of Ethics Of Responsibility, Paolo Davide Farah, Alessio Lo Giudice
Climate Justice In The Anthropocene And Its Relationship With Science And Technology: The Importance Of Ethics Of Responsibility, Paolo Davide Farah, Alessio Lo Giudice
Connecticut Law Review
Climate change is a global phenomenon. Therefore, globalization is the necessary hermeneutical horizon to develop an analysis of the metamorphosis climate change could cause at a political, social, and economic level. Within this horizon, this Article shows how the relationship between the concept of the Anthropocene epoch and the request for justice allows for framing a climate-justice and intergenerational equity–focused political interpretation of the effects of climate change. In order to avoid reducing such an interpretation to merely an ideological critique of capitalism, the conception of climate justice needs to be grounded in a rational, ethical model. This Article proposes …

Prevention And Remediation Possibilities In Climate Litigation Against Corporations In Brazil, Danielle Anne Pamplona, Julia Stefanello Pires
Connecticut Law Review
Climate change presents a threat not only to human rights but also to human existence. The United Nations Human Rights Council has recognised that climate change will lead to acute human rights violations, such as forced displacement and deprivation of the rights to housing, health, and personal integrity. Despite scientific warnings and academic debates, it remains necessary to seek effective measures to prevent, mitigate, and adapt to the causes and consequences of climate change. This Essay identifies the normative framework applicable to corporate activities and their relation to human rights and pauses at the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business …
