Implementasi Peraturan Daerah Dalam Otonomi Daerah Menjadi Salah Satu Parameter Good Governance, Ananda Rayhana Putri

"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI

Regional Regulation as one of the regional legal products is something inherent with the Regional Autonomy system. This is a consequence of the regional autonomy system itself which is based on independence and is not a form of freedom of an independent government unit. Independence itself means that the Region has the right to regulate and manage the domestic affairs of its own government. The authority to regulate here means that the region has the right to make legal decisions in the form of laws and regulations. In forming a region it is not easy because it requires sufficient knowledge …

Features Of The Demise Of The Theory Of Sovereign Acts In The Field Of Judicial Review Over Enforcement Of International Treaties, Sofiane Abdelli Judge

مجلة جامعة الإمارات للبحوث القانونية UAEU LAW JOURNAL

The theory of Sovereign Acts (acts of state) is a real departure from the principle of legitimacy and the state's submission to the law. The French Council of State invented this theory only to protect its existence and competence from the government's reaction on the eve of the return of the monarchy, it was only to fortify some of its acts from its control and to courtesy the government through its rulings.

However, the orientations of the State Council in its early stages have known many transformations, especially in the area of limiting the effects of the implementation of that …

The Promise And The Peril: Artificial Intelligence And Employment Discrimination, Keith E. Sonderling, Bradford J. Kelley, Lance Casimir

University of Miami Law Review

Artificial intelligence (“AI”) is undeniably transforming the workplace, though many implications remain unknown. Employers increasingly rely on algorithms to determine who gets interviewed, hired, promoted, developed, disciplined, or fired. If appropriately designed and applied, AI promises to help workers find their most rewarding jobs, match companies with their most valuable and productive employees, and advance diversity, inclusion, and accessibility in the work- place. Notwithstanding its positive impacts, however, AI poses new perils for employment discrimination, especially when designed or used improperly.

This Article examines the interaction between AI and federal employment antidiscrimination law. This Article explores the legal landscape including …

Still Standing: Does The Government Ever Waive A Right To Challenge Standing In Fourth Amendment Cases?, Stefanie M. Bowen

Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive

While "standing" in Fourth Amendment cases is not a preliminary inquiry, perhaps it should be. When the government fails to object to a defendant's standing to challenge a Fourth Amendment search, there may be an opportunity to renew the objection on appeal. Your outcome is jurisdiction-specific. This article explores the reasons that the Supreme Court should again visit the question of standing with respect to Fourth Amendment searches and eliminate the government's ability to challenge standing for the first time on appeal.

Rage Against The Machine: Reducing Robocall Abuse To Protect At-Risk Consumers, Nicole Egan

University of Massachusetts Law Review

For most people, robocalls are nothing more than an annoying side-effect of owning a cell phone today. But a successful robocall scheme is still capable of wreaking financial and psychological havoc on its victims. Senior citizens and cognitively impaired individuals are often targeted by fraudulent phone calls or texts because they may have trouble understanding how to identify and protect themselves from robocall abuse. This Note proposes a collaborative solution to this problem by calling on the judiciary and legislatures to minimize the amount of robocalls received by American telephone consumers. By adopting a broader understanding of the law and …
