Court Transparency And The First Amendment, David S. Ardia
Court Transparency And The First Amendment, David S. Ardia
Faculty Publications
This is a critical time for court transparency because the courts, like so many institutions of government, are in the midst of a transformation from the largely paper-based world of the twentieth century to an interconnected, electronic world where physical and temporal barriers to information are disappearing. Not surprisingly, the shift to electronic access to the courts raises significant privacy concerns. As a result of these and other concerns, a number of courts and legislatures are considering sharply limiting public access to certain court proceedings and records.

Corpus Linguistics And The Criminal Law, Carissa B. Hessick
Corpus Linguistics And The Criminal Law, Carissa B. Hessick
Faculty Publications
This brief response to Ordinary Meaning and Corpus Linguistics, an article by Stefan Gries and Brian Slocum, explains why corpus linguistics represents a radical break from current statutory interpretation practice, and it argues that corpus linguistics ought not be adopted as an interpretive theory for criminal laws. Corpus linguistics has superficial appeal because it promises to increase predictability and to decrease the role of judges’ personal preferences in statutory interpretation. But there are reasons to doubt that corpus linguistics can achieve these goals. More importantly, corpus linguistics sacrifices other, more important values, including notice and accountability.

The Honoré-Waldron Thesis: A Comparison Of The Blend Of Ideal-Typic Categories Of Property In American, Chinese, And Australian Land Law, Paul T. Babie, John V. Orth, Charlie Xiao-Chuan Weng
Faculty Publications
The Article proceeds in five parts. Part II briefly describes the principal features of each of the four ideal-typic categories of property. Parts III through V examine, respectively, the real property law of the United States, Australia, and China, demonstrating examples of each of the four ideal-typic categories, in varying mixes of ideal-types found in representatives of the two main legal traditions (common and civil). In order to test the thesis, the three jurisdictions are organized here according to the extent to which most people intuitively consider one of the ideal-types to predominate. Thus, the United States is dealt with …

Privacy And Court Records: Online Access And The Loss Of Practical Obscurity, David S. Ardia
Privacy And Court Records: Online Access And The Loss Of Practical Obscurity, David S. Ardia
Faculty Publications
Court records present a conundrum for privacy advocates. Public access to the courts has long been a fundamental tenant of American democracy, helping to ensure that our system of justice functions fairly and that citizens can observe the actions of their government. Yet court records contain an astonishing amount of private and sensitive information, ranging from social security numbers to the names of sexual assault victims. Until recently, the privacy harms that attended the public disclosure of court records were generally regarded as insignificant because court files were difficult to search and access. But this “practical obscurity” is rapidly disappearing …
