Collective Coercion, Benjamin Means, Susan S. Kuo
Collective Coercion, Benjamin Means, Susan S. Kuo
Faculty Publications
When a collective-choice situation places coercive pressure on individual participants, the law’s traditional protection of individual autonomy against coercion must be reconciled with its necessary role in resolving problems of collective action. On the one hand, the law might seek to remove coercion from the equation so that individuals are free to make their own decisions. On the other hand, the law might empower a central authority to decide, thereby solving a problem of collective action in order to maximize the group’s shared interests.
The tension between these two approaches creates deep uncertainty for the regulation of collective-choice situations. It …

Old Habits: Sister Bernadette And The Potential Revival Of Sentence Diagramming In Written Legal Advocacy, Lisa A. Eichhorn
Old Habits: Sister Bernadette And The Potential Revival Of Sentence Diagramming In Written Legal Advocacy, Lisa A. Eichhorn
Faculty Publications
Given the rise of e-filing and of software that makes it easier than ever to create images and insert them into documents, the nearly lost art of sentence diagramming may be due for a revival in written legal advocacy. This article posits that while sentence diagrams can indeed, in a limited set of cases, add to the persuasive force of a statutory-interpretation argument, the diagrams themselves are less compelling than attorneys may believe them to be, and diagrams cannot elucidate all types of interpretive issues. Like an analogy, a sentence diagram can illustrate an argument aptly — or ineptly — …

Child Protection Law As An Independent Variable, Josh Gupta-Kagan
Child Protection Law As An Independent Variable, Josh Gupta-Kagan
Faculty Publications
Child protection professionals work in a multidisciplinary system in which the law and the family court play central roles and which collects an increasing amount of data. Yet we know little about what impact the law has on whether a child is removed by child protective services, is deemed neglected by a family court, or reunifies with a parent. Do state‐to‐state variations in child protection laws, or changes by individual states to their laws, lead to different outcomes for children and families? The dramatic variations in child welfare practice from one state to another suggest that legal variations do matter. …
The Misidentification Of Children With Disabilities: A Harm With No Foul, Claire Raj
The Misidentification Of Children With Disabilities: A Harm With No Foul, Claire Raj
Faculty Publications
Special education, despite being a uniform federal mandate, is often implemented drastically differently depending on the school system delivering services, the particular category of disability, and the race or ethnicity of students. Affluent white children who attend well-managed school districts tend to benefit from special education services. In the under-funded and over-tasked districts where most minorities attend school, the special education system does not always provide the same benefits. In these schools, special education, too often, operates as a dumping ground for those students the general education system cannot or refuses to serve. In these instances, the label of “special …

Bridging The Justice Gap In Family Law: Repurposing Federal Iv-D Funding To Expand Community-Based Legal And Social Services For Parents, Lisa V. Martin, Stacy Brustin
Faculty Publications
Parents in family court overwhelmingly proceed pro se; however, in child support courtrooms, government attorneys representing the state child support agency frequently play a pivotal role. These attorneys represent the state’s ostensible interests in ensuring that children are financially supported and in preventing welfare dependence; they do not represent individual parents. The outcomes of child support proceedings have profound, long-term constitutional and financial implications for parents, yet litigants rarely understand their rights or the role of the government.
Originally, the goal of state child support enforcement efforts was to recapture the costs of welfare expenditures. In 1990, two-thirds of cases …
A New Hope: South Carolina's Struggle With Domestic Violence, Riley Anne Bearden
A New Hope: South Carolina's Struggle With Domestic Violence, Riley Anne Bearden
Senior Theses
South Carolina has come into the national spotlight over the past 10 years over it’s consistent issue with domestic violence. With domestic homicide rates consistently over the national average, journalists and researchers have examined everything from the causes of domestic violence, it’s impetus within a person and its cultural influences, to the way that law enforcement and the judicial system handle cases presented to them. South Carolina’s patriarchal background and traditional perspective on gender relations certainly play a role in the high rates of domestic violence in the state, and other cultural factors that could affect the prevalence of abuse. …

Taking The Oceanfront Lot, Josh Eagle
Taking The Oceanfront Lot, Josh Eagle
Faculty Publications
Oceanfront landowners and states share a property boundary located between the wet and dry parts of the shore. This legal coastline is different from an ordinary land boundary. First, on sandy beaches, the line is constantly in flux, and it cannot be marked except momentarily. Without the help of a surveyor and a court, neither the landowner nor a citizen walking down the beach has the ability to know exactly where the line lies. This uncertainty means that, as a practical matter, ownership of some part of the beach is effectively shared. Second, the common law establishes that the owner …
Nothing Could Be Finer? The Role Of Agency General Counsel In North And South Carolina, Elizabeth Chambliss, Dana Remus
Nothing Could Be Finer? The Role Of Agency General Counsel In North And South Carolina, Elizabeth Chambliss, Dana Remus
Faculty Publications
There is amazingly little contemporary research on the counseling function of government agency lawyers. Most research on federal government lawyers focuses on the Department of Justice, the Attorney General, or the birth of the modern administrative state during the New Deal. Much of this work focuses on the organization of federal litigation authority. At the state level, likewise, recent scholarship focuses on the litigation function of state attorneys general. Meanwhile, we know very little about the agency counseling function or the role of agency counsel in shaping agency policy and practice.
The role of state agency general counsel is an …

The Constitutional Challenge To Teacher Tenure, Derek W. Black
The Constitutional Challenge To Teacher Tenure, Derek W. Black
Faculty Publications
In 2012, education reformers theorized a novel constitutional strategy to eliminate tenure. They argued that tenure leads to the retention of ineffective teachers, and that ineffective teaching deprives students of the constitutional right to education embedded in state constitutions. This theory immediately caught hold, with a California trial court striking down tenure in 2014 and litigation commencing in other states weeks thereafter.
The outcome of this litigation movement will determine both the future of the teaching profession and the scope of the constitutional right to education. To date, however, no high court or scholar has thoroughly analyzed the theory. This …
