Fee-Shifting Statutes And Compensation For Risk, Maureen Carroll
Fee-Shifting Statutes And Compensation For Risk, Maureen Carroll
Indiana Law Journal

It also provides a form of financing, because the firm will be paid (if at all) only after the litigation ends; and insurance, because if the litigation results in a low recovery (or no recovery at all), the firm will absorb the direct and indirect costs of the litigation. Courts and markets routinely pay for these types of risk-bearing services through a range of mechanisms, including state feeshifting statutes, contingent percentage fees, common-fund awards, alternative fee arrangements, and third-party litigation funding. …
Designing The Legal Architecture To Protect Education As A Civil Right, Kimberly J. Robinson
Designing The Legal Architecture To Protect Education As A Civil Right, Kimberly J. Robinson
Indiana Law Journal
Although education has always existed at the epicenter of the battle for civil rights, federal and state law and policy fail to protect education as a civil right.

It also explains why the U.S. approach to education federalism will require legal reforms by both levels of government to protect education as a civil right.

The Resistance & The Stubborn But Unsurprising Persistence Of Hate And Extremism In The United States, Jeannine Bell
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Though the far right has a long history in the United States, the presidential campaign and then election of Donald Trump brought the movement out of the shadows. This article will analyze the rise in White supremacist activity in the United States-from well-publicized mass actions like the White supremacist march in Charlottesville in August 2017 to individual acts of violence happening since November 2016. This article focuses on contextualizing such incidents within this contemporary period and argues that overt expressions of racism and racist violence are nothing new. The article closes with a call to strengthen the current legal remedies …
