Nickel Mining In New Caledonia And The Inflation Reduction Act, Hannah Jellema
Nickel Mining In New Caledonia And The Inflation Reduction Act, Hannah Jellema
Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law
The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) marked a step forward for the United States in incentivizing clean energy and reducing national reliance on fossil fuels. However, the IRA’s critical mineral requirement restricts the eligibility of electric vehicles for tax credits based on the origin or processing location of minerals used in electric vehicle batteries. The French territory of New Caledonia contains nickel reserves that would be invaluable to the production of electric vehicle batteries in the U.S. However, under the Inflation Reduction Act’s critical mineral requirement, the use of New Caledonian nickel in electric vehicle batteries may inhibit …
Stimulating Fraud: Comparing The Effectiveness Of Fraud Recovery Mechanisms Between The United States And The United Kingdom Through The Lens Of Public Covid-19 Expenditures, James G. Bozza
Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law
Fraud committed against the U.S. government is one of the largest costs that taxpayers must bear. The False Claims Act has been the most effective monetary fraud recovery mechanism in history. The question remains, however, of if it will continue to be as useful given modern trends of increased spending. An analysis of the U.S. fraud recovery model compared to the United Kingdom through the lens of Covid-19 expenditures demonstrates both the strengths and weaknesses of the U.S. model and provides reasoning for legislative alteration.

Untouchable Sovereign Debts: Towards A New Model Of Transitional Justice And Global Finance, Cosmas Emeziem
Untouchable Sovereign Debts: Towards A New Model Of Transitional Justice And Global Finance, Cosmas Emeziem
Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law
Who bears the cost of peace in societies transitioning from oppressive regimes? Who is responsible for paying back the debts incurred by dictators? These questions are crucial in transitional justice situations, yet the discipline discusses debts and transitional justice separately. While sovereign debts are viewed within markets and global economic frameworks, transitional justice is considered within citizens and human rights frameworks. This approach is flawed as it marginalizes human dignity and social justice considerations.
To rectify this schism, this Article brings these two legal spheres together in an epistemic dialogue using sovereign debt as the point of intersection. In transitional …
International Prescriptive Jurisdiction And American Conflict Of Laws, Eric T. Laity
International Prescriptive Jurisdiction And American Conflict Of Laws, Eric T. Laity
Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law
Today’s conflicts law embraces two approaches: an early 20th century approach that chooses between states based on their territory and a mid- century approach that chooses between individual legal rules based on posited governmental interests. Although both approaches have merit, neither is fully conscious of lawmakers’ comprehensive plans for economic and social development and the related matters of institutional competence. As a result, both approaches may lead to unsatisfactory choices of law to govern regulated contracts and relationships.
To produce more satisfying choices of law for regulated contracts and relationships, this Article proposes a third approach to conflicts law. The …

Parental Kidnapping And Domestic Violence: The Need To Reform And Enforce State Action, Anna Ratterman
Parental Kidnapping And Domestic Violence: The Need To Reform And Enforce State Action, Anna Ratterman
Georgia Criminal Law Review
When civil family issues intersect with criminal acts, the civil and criminal systems fail to effectuate a complete remedy. Specifically, there are few effective protections for victims of domestic violence during the pendency of domestic relations proceedings. Given the complicated gender dynamics and inequalities that have developed throughout history, it is unsurprising that the criminal and civil systems have failed to prioritize prosecution of crimes against women. Current criminal laws fail to treat domestic violence and parental kidnapping as serious crimes and instead adopt the view that domestic disputes are private issues to be handled within the family. In turn, …
Paying For Prison: Equal Protection Remedies For The United States' Wealth Discrimination Problem, Alexandra Smolyar
Paying For Prison: Equal Protection Remedies For The United States' Wealth Discrimination Problem, Alexandra Smolyar
Georgia Criminal Law Review
The American dream promises wealth, mobility, and security, yet daily millions of Americans live in abject poverty. What’s more, state and local policies render low-income people uniquely vulnerable to criminalization, further lessening their ability to attain this purported American dream. These effects are not incidental. Rather, they reflect a complexly interwoven system of wealth-based discrimination oftentimes promulgated and perpetuated by government actors. Yet, most constitutional anti-discrimination measures do not reach wealth-based discrimination despite the horrific everyday effects felt by low-income communities nationwide. The criminalization of poverty compounds these problems to create a never-ending cycle of discrimination and collateral consequences whose …
Burning The Candle At Both Ends: A Case For The Right To Counsel At The State Habeas Level, Sierra Stanfield
Burning The Candle At Both Ends: A Case For The Right To Counsel At The State Habeas Level, Sierra Stanfield
Georgia Criminal Law Review
Shinn v. Ramirez is the latest in a line of court decisions that place debilitating restrictions on the habeas corpus process, making it more difficult than ever for ineffective assistance of counsel claimants to prevail on a federal habeas claim. Paired with the growing restrictions placed on the criminal appellate process, both by the states and by the Supreme Court, these decisions make it near-impossible for many criminal defendants to challenge their convictions and guarantee their rights.
The decision not to guarantee counsel at the state habeas level is grounded in logic that predated these restrictions. The state habeas hearing …
The Use Of Virtual Technology In Federal Criminal Detention Proceedings During Covid-19, The Honorable Karen Wells Roby
The Use Of Virtual Technology In Federal Criminal Detention Proceedings During Covid-19, The Honorable Karen Wells Roby
Georgia Criminal Law Review
The COVID Pandemic presented unparalleled challenges to court operations and the administration of pretrial criminal proceedings. The combination of health concerns and constitutional considerations collided in a way requiring unprecedented creativity in court operations. While scholars have given guidance on how the state courts were functioning during the pandemic, researchers have not conducted an empirical analysis on how federal courts conducted pretrial detention hearings during COVID-19.
This analysis reports the results of both qualitative and empirical findings pretrial detention hearings in federal courts during COVID-19. I examined the state of operations of the district court in several the Fourth, Fifth, …
"Hired Guns": Establishing The Scope Of The Proper Cross-Examination And Argument Relating To Expert Witness' Compensation In Criminal Trials, Michael C. Kovac
"Hired Guns": Establishing The Scope Of The Proper Cross-Examination And Argument Relating To Expert Witness' Compensation In Criminal Trials, Michael C. Kovac
Georgia Criminal Law Review
The outcomes of criminal cases can turn on the credibility of the parties’ expert witnesses. The compensation such experts receive in exchange for their work on cases can undermine their credibility, as it provides the experts with a financial incentive that might bias them in favor of the parties who retain them. While concerns with such bias have existed for decades, courts have been inconsistent in the defining the permissible scope of cross-examination and argument on the issue. Some courts have unduly curtailed such cross-examination and argument. Courts have also been inconsistent in their views of whether calling such expert …

Trial By Trademark: Why The Trademark System Needs To Stand On Its Own Two Marks, Ben Siegel
Trial By Trademark: Why The Trademark System Needs To Stand On Its Own Two Marks, Ben Siegel
Journal of Intellectual Property Law
While IP-intensive industries continue to produce a significant portion of the American economy, trademarks consistently remain a substantial portion. Given trademarks’ increasingly pivotal role in the global economy, the complexities and nuances of trademark law demand a specialized approach. In examining the current trademark landscape, many scholars have underscored the paradox of its fractured nature, despite its fundamental role in the economy. Currently, trademark law suffers from a lack of uniformity across the various circuits in critical areas of the law itself, as well as vulnerabilities in forum shopping and confusion for businesses.
Rather than endorsing the conventional approach to …
The Unregulated Digital Playground: Why Kids Need Right Of Publicity Protections From Their Parents, Sophie Polo
The Unregulated Digital Playground: Why Kids Need Right Of Publicity Protections From Their Parents, Sophie Polo
Journal of Intellectual Property Law
As social media continues to become more prevalent in society, profitability on social media platforms continues to increase. Parents have discovered ways to profit online by using their children in content to gather views, therefore taking advantage of their children's right of publicity. While some parents use this profit to raise their children, there is no guarantee that children benefit from their parent's use of their name, image, or likeness. Since social media is still a relatively new space, there are not many protections for the interests of children on social media compared to other areas such as child acting. …
"Cheer Is A Sport": The Ncaa, Title Ix Compliance, And Nil, Mary Kate Mclean
"Cheer Is A Sport": The Ncaa, Title Ix Compliance, And Nil, Mary Kate Mclean
Journal of Intellectual Property Law
Over fifty years have passed since the famous women’s rights Title IX legislation was enacted. Equal opportunity for women in education, and specifically in colligate athletics, has been an ongoing game since 1972 and while drastic improvements have been made, the playing field is still not even for female student-athletes. Many universities continue to struggle with Title IX Compliance and recent events and trends including the Covid-19 pandemic and the increasing female undergraduate population have dramatized the problems. In the wake of the Name, Image, and Likeness era, a solution to compliance is more important now than ever where a …
Leveling Up Fair Use: The Ultimate Cheat Code For Video Game Modders In The Wake Of Google V. Oracle, Parker G. Furman
Leveling Up Fair Use: The Ultimate Cheat Code For Video Game Modders In The Wake Of Google V. Oracle, Parker G. Furman
Journal of Intellectual Property Law
Video game modifications, or "mods," made by third parties or fans of a video game, have reached the limelight of mainstream video game popularity. The internet has become a space for mod makers to share their creations with any user, without the need for physical modifications to a game cartridge or circuit board. Instead, mod software allows a player to install mods with ease and is extremely accessible, yet under the law, the legal status of video game mods remains uncertain. Video game mods are seen as infringing the copyright of the original game. This Note examines the application of …
Marking The Metaverse: The Implication Of Nfts On Trademark Law, Hanna Esserman
Marking The Metaverse: The Implication Of Nfts On Trademark Law, Hanna Esserman
Journal of Intellectual Property Law
Within the last decade, internet users have witnessed the birth, rise, and mainstream popularity of the Non-Fungible Token, or “NFT.” Nearly ten years after the creation of the first NFT, there is now a wave of first impression litigation surfacing which questions the implications of NFTs on intellectual property law. This Note analyzes the intersection of Non-Fungible Tokens and trademark law in the United States.
Until recently, it has been unclear whether Non-Fungible Tokens are eligible to be protected under long-standing federal trademark laws. This includes allegations of NFTs infringing upon existing trademarks, as well as trademarked NFTs being infringed …
The "Wild West" Of State Nil Laws: Asking For Congress To Bail Out The Ncaa, Evan Crowder
The "Wild West" Of State Nil Laws: Asking For Congress To Bail Out The Ncaa, Evan Crowder
Journal of Intellectual Property Law
This Note explores the evolution of the amateur status in college athletics, particularly the absence of a consistent definition for “amateur collegiate athlete” by the NCAA over the years. The traditional demarcation between amateur and professional athletes blurred significantly, particularly with the exponential growth of college football revenues, leading to indistinguishable time commitments for both categories. The landmark case of NCAA v. Alston marked a pivotal moment as the Supreme Court ruled in favor of allowing college athletes to earn compensation for the use of their name, image, and likeness ("NIL"). This decision overturned decades of prohibiting such practices in …

Public Domain And Access To Knowledge, Faith O. Majekolagbe
Journal of Intellectual Property Law
In a world where truth is behind paywalls and lies are free, the importance of a realm of works that are free from copyright protection becomes even more important for access to knowledge and information. This Article considers a thriving and accessible public domain a key mechanism for engendering access to knowledge and propelling human development globally. The copyright public domain as a realm of freely accessible and usable works and elements of works is under immense threat due to the constant extension of the term of copyright protection, disparities in the scope of the public domain globally, the absence …
“[T]Here Appears To Be Intentional Discrimination In The Panel”: The Case For Abolishing Peremptory Challenges In Georgia, Ariane Williams
“[T]Here Appears To Be Intentional Discrimination In The Panel”: The Case For Abolishing Peremptory Challenges In Georgia, Ariane Williams
Georgia Criminal Law Review
In Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79 (1986), the Supreme Court attempted to prevent peremptory strikes motivated by race. However, evidence and jurisprudence since Batson have indicated that the Court did not succeed. Furthermore, peremptory strikes perpetuate racial imbalance in juries and erode public faith in an unbiased legal system, as seen in reactions to the recent McMichael-Bryant trial in Georgia, in which only one black juror was seated. Given the longstanding and intractable issues with peremptory challenges, the Arizona Supreme Court decided to eliminate them entirely in 2021. This Article argues that Georgia should follow suit and abolish …
Answering The Call From Victims Of Dating Violence: Georgia’S New Dating Violence Law, Sydney K. Parish
Answering The Call From Victims Of Dating Violence: Georgia’S New Dating Violence Law, Sydney K. Parish
Georgia Criminal Law Review
Dating violence is a topic that has garnered increased awareness in recent days, both in the media and in the legal field. Many states have begun to pass legislation in attempt to address this issue and provide relief for victims of dating violence. In the summer of 2021, the state of Georgia passed House Bill 231, what later became known as Georgia’s Dating Violence law. This Article first examines our nation’s history of intimate partner violence to show why dating violence legislation was so desperately needed and how these legislative reforms have attempted to heal a system that for so …
The Death Dignity Demands: The Eighth Amendment Requires Incarcerated People Decide Their Method Of Execution, Kali A. Haney
The Death Dignity Demands: The Eighth Amendment Requires Incarcerated People Decide Their Method Of Execution, Kali A. Haney
Georgia Criminal Law Review
Recently, there have been a number of incarcerated people on death-row challenging their method of execution and proposing an alternative: usually, firing squad. Courts are hesitant to grant this request for a number of reasons, including the rare use of the firing squad. But there is substantial evidence this method is the most humane. Additionally, it appears incarcerated people think so, which is why so many in recent years chose—or petitioned for—death by firing squad rather than lethal injection or electrocution. As pharmaceutical companies halt their drugs’ distribution to prisons, prisons are forced to come up with their own—often more …
The Use Of Oral Fluid Samples To Test For Driving Under The Influence Of Marijuana, Ian Wise
The Use Of Oral Fluid Samples To Test For Driving Under The Influence Of Marijuana, Ian Wise
Georgia Criminal Law Review
Driving Under the Influence of Drugs (DUID) cases pose unique challenges to the criminal justice system. An evidentiary chemical test is a vital piece of evidence in a DUID prosecution because unlike alcohol, drugs do not cause impairment in a uniform fashion. Breath tests cannot detect drugs, and the intrusiveness of blood and urine tests has been the focus of Court cases over the past half-century with decisions in Missouri v. McNeely and Birchfield v. North Dakota curtailing the government’s ability to obtain this evidence without a warrant.
The need for a less intrusive alternative is driven by the doubling …
Protecting Our Nation’S Children In The Technological Age: Arguing For An Interpretation Of “Sexual Activity” In 18 U.S.C. § 2422(B) That Does Not Require Physical Contact, Allison Fine
Georgia Criminal Law Review
Our Nation’s justice system values “equal protection under the law.” This represents the belief that all individuals should be treated equally under the law regardless of personal characteristics. Traditionally, we think about this in a context of things like race, gender, or ethnicity. However, this also encompasses the general idea that individuals nationwide should be accountable to and protected by the same laws. As it relates to criminal law, this notion highlights the importance of uniformity in a criminal justice system. Without consistent application and execution, a criminal justice system will never be fair or “equal.”
The federal child enticement …
Purpose’S Purposes: Culpability, Liberty, Legal Wrongs, And Accomplice Mens Rea, Kevin Cole
Purpose’S Purposes: Culpability, Liberty, Legal Wrongs, And Accomplice Mens Rea, Kevin Cole
Georgia Criminal Law Review
The federal mens rea for accomplice liability—important in its own right and also as an example to the states—is unsettled. Three cases from the just completed Supreme Court term hint (somewhat surprisingly) at various directions the justices might take. This essay examines the cases with a particular focus on the alternative explanations that might be given for the traditional requirement of purposeful facilitation for accomplice liability. The purpose requirement is contestable so long as it is justified in terms of a narrow conception of culpability. It is better understood as serving a liberty-enhancing function. The liberty focus clarifies difficult questions …

Against Bankruptcy: Public Litigation Values Versus The Endless Quest For Global Peace In Mass Litigation, Abbe Gluck, Elizabeth Chamblee Burch, Adam Zimmerman
Scholarly Works
Can bankruptcy court solve a public health crisis? Should the goal of “global peace” in complex lawsuits trump traditional litigation values in a system grounded in public participation and jurisdictional redundancy? How much leeway do courts have to innovate civil procedure?
These questions have finally reached the Supreme Court in Harrington v. Purdue Pharma L.P., the $6 billion bankruptcy that purports to achieve global resolution of all current and future opioids suits against the company and its former family owners, the Sacklers. The case provides a critical opportunity to reflect on what is lost when parties in mass torts find …
Blue Carbon, Red States, And Paris Agreement Article 6, Adam D. Orford
Blue Carbon, Red States, And Paris Agreement Article 6, Adam D. Orford
Scholarly Works
Coastal U.S. states, including many that have opposed proactive U.S. climate policies, are contemplating entrance into the supply side of the international carbon credit markets by, among other things, hosting revenue-generating blue carbon projects on their submerged lands. The voluntary carbon credit markets already facilitate private investment in such activities, and the emerging Paris Agreement Article 6 framework is poised to generate investment interest at the national level as well. Reviewing these trends, this Perspective questions whether this is good climate, environmental, and social policy, and advises further oversight and accountability.
