UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship
This Article tests a model of judicial decision making that incorporates elements of both the attitudinal model and the legal model, along with measures of institutional and judicial background characteristics such as collegiality and trial court experience. We develop a measure of interpretive philosophy relying primarily on judicial opinions, which we code for certain indicators of traditional interpretive approaches (i.e., the use of interpretive tools). The critical question is whether judges with similar interpretive philosophies are more likely to agree with one another when deciding cases. Our general finding is that ideology and interpretive philosophy are not significant predictors of …

The Hidden Life Of Consumer Bankruptcy Reform: Danger Signs For The New U.S. Law From Unexpected Parallels In The Netherlands, 39 Vand. J. Transnat'l L. 77 (2006), Jason Kilborn
UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship
This Article offers a unique perspective on the heavily revised U.S. consumer bankruptcy law, which went effect on October 17, 2005, in light of a surprising discovery: It turns out that the U.S. consumer bankruptcy system as "reformed" resembles in many critical respects the consumer bankruptcy system in place for the past six years in the Netherlands. As a result of this serendipitous U.S.-Dutch convergence, years of experience under the Dutch consumer debt relief system can provide a rare glimpse into the future of the new U.S. system. The Dutch law in practice has diverged in significant ways from legislative …

The Color Of Perspective: Affirmative Action And The Constitutional Rhetoric Of White Innocence, 11 Mich. J. Race & L. 477 (2006), Cecil J. Hunt Ii
UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship
This Article discusses the Supreme Court's use of the rhetoric of White innocence in deciding racially-inflected claims of constitutional shelter. It argues that the Court's use of this rhetoric reveals its adoption of a distinctly White-centered perspective, representing a one-sided view of racial reality that distorts the Court's ability to accurately appreciate the true nature of racial reality in contemporary America. This Article examines the Court's habit of using a White-centered perspective in constitutional race cases. Specifically, it looks at the Court's use of the rhetoric of White innocence in the context of the Court's concern with protecting "innocent" Whites …

Intellectual Property Rights In The Internet Era: The New Frontier, 5 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 589 (2006), Lulin Gao
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
With the rapid development of information and Internet technologies, how to protect intellectual property (IP) rights in the Internet era became a new frontier for IP practitioners and scholars internationally. This article highlights some important IP protection issues related to copyright, patent, trademark, and domain names, as well as the impact of technological advances on IP protection in the Internet era. The author believes that in order to solve these new emerging issues, the most important principle is keeping the balance between different sides with stakes in the IP right. Finally, international cooperation must be enhanced with more technical assistance …

The Intellectual Property Marketplace: Past, Present And Future, 5 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 605 (2006), James E. Malackowski
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
This article provides an overview of the evolution of the intellectual property marketplace, describes existing mechanisms by which intellectual property value is transacted, and hypothesizes future marketplace mechanisms. A discussion of intellectual property value is also presented. Specifically, analyses of value indications as evidenced by the public and private equity markets are described. Finally, two future critical issues for intellectual property practitioners relating to intellectual property value are described: class action shareholder litigation and royalty stacking.

The Ip Asset Class: Protecting And Unlocking Inherent Value, 5 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 402 (2006), Stephen Bennett
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
Intangible inputs are as important, or more important, to wealth creation than tangible assets and corporate leaders are beginning to recognize the value of their intangible assets. Investors are also focusing on companies whose primary property value is largely intangible intellectual property. IP investment strategies involve either attempts to raise and employ immediate capital through securitization or to protect the value of IP through insurance. The nexus between finance and IP presents a revenue opportunity for law firms. There is already a contingent of the legal community that services clients concerning IP issues but only a much smaller niche segment …
Teaching Legal Research And Writing With Actual Legal Work: Extending Clinical Education Into The First Year, 12 Clinical L. Rev. 441 (2006), Steven D. Schwinn, Michael Millemann
Teaching Legal Research And Writing With Actual Legal Work: Extending Clinical Education Into The First Year, 12 Clinical L. Rev. 441 (2006), Steven D. Schwinn, Michael Millemann
UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship
In this article, the co-authors argue that legal research and writing (LRW) teachers should use actual legal work to generate assignments. They recommend that clinical and LRW teachers work together to design, co-teach, and evaluate such courses.
They describe two experimental courses they developed together and co-taught to support and clarify their arguments. They contend that actual legal work motivates students to learn the basic skills of research, analysis and writing, and thus helps to accomplish the primary goals of LRW courses. It also helps students to explore new dimensions of basic skills, including those related to the development and …
Regulating Access To Databases Through Antitrust Law, 2006 Stan. Tech. L. Rev. 7 (2006), Daryl Lim
Regulating Access To Databases Through Antitrust Law, 2006 Stan. Tech. L. Rev. 7 (2006), Daryl Lim
UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship
It is largely uncontroversial that the “creative” effort in a database will be protected by copyright. However, any effort to extend protection to purely factual databases creates difficulties in determining the proper method and scope of protection. This Paper argues that antitrust law can be used to supplement intellectual property law in maintaining the “access-incentive” balance with respect to databases. It starts from the premise that a trend toward “TRIPs-plus” rights in databases, whatever its form, is inevitable. The reason is a simple, but compelling one: business needs shape the law. Various means of database access regulation are explored and …

Domestic Surveillance And The Constitution, 24 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 177 (2006), Lawrence Friedman, René M. Landers
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This article argues that President Bush’s domestic electronic surveillance program is unconstitutional. The program allows the President to order the NSA to conduct surveillance of electronic communications, including communications involving United States citizens, without court order. The authors conclude that the President lacked the statutory or constitutional power to authorize such a program and that the program runs afoul to the letter and the spirit of the constitutional protection against unreasonable searches and seizures embraced by the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Congress and the President share overlapping constitutional authority in matters of foreign affairs and national security. …
The Protection Of Maps And Spatial Databases In Europe And The United States By Copyright And The Sui Generis Right, 24 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 195 (2006), Katleen Janssen, Jos Dumortier
The Protection Of Maps And Spatial Databases In Europe And The United States By Copyright And The Sui Generis Right, 24 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 195 (2006), Katleen Janssen, Jos Dumortier
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Spatial data and applications play an ever-increasing part in our economy and in our society in general, but the protection of spatial databases by intellectual property rights seems to be a challenge because the Internet and information technology have caused a considerable increase in the copying of data, maps, route descriptions, hiking trails, etc. The illegal copying of spatial data, however, has caused the data producers to turn to several means of protection, such as intellectual property legislation, unfair competition, confidentiality and privacy. This paper begins by determining what is meant by spatial data. Thereafter, the paper reflects on the …
Voip Goes The Bad Guy: Understanding The Legal Impact Of The Use Of Voice Over Ip Communications In Cases Of Nsa Warrantless Eavesdropping, 24 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 227 (2006), Eric Koester
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
For purposes of national security, the Bush administration delegated authority to the National Security Administration (“NSA”) to conduct warrantless surveillance of Americans; and such surveillance defies tradition. At the same time, emerging communications technology, like Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”), complicates the already controversial issue by generating uncertainty about how courts will analyze warrantless surveillance of such forums. The problem lies in outdated communications and surveillance regulations, which effectively address older communications forums, like the telephone, but encounter stifling ambiguity vis-à-vis VoIP and other new forums. VoIP is a relatively new technology, but it encompasses the large and ever-growing use …
