A Legal Update On Environmental Justice In Virginia: Where Are We Now?, Jasdeep S. Khaira, Patrice Lewis, Abigail Thompson, Scott Foster
A Legal Update On Environmental Justice In Virginia: Where Are We Now?, Jasdeep S. Khaira, Patrice Lewis, Abigail Thompson, Scott Foster
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
Environmental justice (“EJ”) is rapidly evolving in Virginia while people
are still trying to understand what EJ actually means. As a result, regulators
are unsure of how to incorporate environmental justice in their decisionmaking
process while the regulated are uncertain of how to proceed in the
ever-changing political, social, and regulatory landscape. This article gives
an overview of EJ’s evolution in Virginia, synthesizing notable environmental
justice legal decisions; providing supplementary research on environmental
justice studies, workgroups, and reports; and offering several predictions
on EJ’s fate in the Commonwealth.
First In The South: Cannabis Legalization In Virginia, Jm Pedini, Cassidy Crockett-Verba
First In The South: Cannabis Legalization In Virginia, Jm Pedini, Cassidy Crockett-Verba
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
In 2021, Virginia made history when it became the first state in the
South to legalize cannabis for responsible use by adults. Though legalization
is now the law of the land, which today includes personal possession
and cultivation, there remains much work to be done before Virginians are
able to legally purchase cannabis outside of the medical program. Concerns
over social equity provisions, retail sales dates, and the reenactment
clauses added during the 2021 legislative session have drastically slowed
the process of expanding the regulated marketplace to adult-use consumers.
With many key components requiring reenactment by the 2022 General Assembly …

Unmet Legal Needs As Health Injustice, Yael Cannon
Unmet Legal Needs As Health Injustice, Yael Cannon
University of Richmond Law Review
In Part I, this Article examines the health justice framework through which laws are understood as determinants of health equity. In Part II, this Article argues that when unaddressed for low-income individuals, legal needs serve as social determinants of health. Applying the health justice framework, the Article examines the major domains of social determinants of health (“SDOH”) and identifies areas of law for which unmet legal needs contribute to poor health and health inequity. Specifically, it analyzes how the five major domains of SDOH of the Healthy People 2030 paradigm of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) …
Trustworthy Digital Contact Tracing, Emily Berman, Leah R. Fowler, Jessica L. Roberts
Trustworthy Digital Contact Tracing, Emily Berman, Leah R. Fowler, Jessica L. Roberts
University of Richmond Law Review
This Article takes a closer look at digital contact tracing in the United States during the coronavirus pandemic and why it failed. It begins by explaining the shortcomings of traditional analog methods and the resulting need for digital contact tracing. It then turns to the norms regarding consent, the scope of the data collected, and the limits on subsequent use necessary for cooperative surveillance. We argue that any successful digital contact-tracing program must incorporate these elements. Yet while necessary, those strategies alone may not be sufficient. People justifiably lack trust in public health authorities, in new technologies, and in the …
Imagining A Better Public Health (Law) Response To Covid-19, Evan Anderson, Scott Burris
Imagining A Better Public Health (Law) Response To Covid-19, Evan Anderson, Scott Burris
University of Richmond Law Review
This Article is not a thorough-going history of the pandemic response. By way of critique and suggesting a way forward for public health, we are going to imagine how public health—both the official agencies and the interconnected nodes in academia and health systems—might have approached COVID-19 differently. This is a story that focuses on good judgment as the lynchpin of optimal pandemic response and allows us to think about where good judgment seems to have been lacking, and how public health culture and institutions might change to improve the chances of better judgment next time.
The Future Of Wastewater Monitoring For The Public Health, Natalie Ram, Lance Gable, Jeffrey L. Ram
The Future Of Wastewater Monitoring For The Public Health, Natalie Ram, Lance Gable, Jeffrey L. Ram
University of Richmond Law Review
This Article thus expands the extant literature by considering the legal and ethical dimensions of wastewater surveillance more thoroughly and more broadly. It arrives at an auspicious time, as the United States moves into a vaccine-mediated phase in which COVID-19 is less likely to give rise to broad stay-at-home orders and more likely to trigger narrower, more targeted interventions. It seeks to offer guidance for the legal and ethical use of wastewater surveillance along two dimensions. The first dimension considers the circumstances under which wastewater monitoring should be deployed for detecting and responding to COVID-19 specifically. The second dimension zooms …
Reforming Age Cutoffs, Govind Persad
Reforming Age Cutoffs, Govind Persad
University of Richmond Law Review
This Article examines the use of minimum age cutoffs to define eligibility for social insurance, public benefits, and other governmental programs. These cutoffs are frequently used but rarely examined in detail. In Part I, I examine and catalogue policies that employ minimum age cutoffs. These include not only Medicare and Social Security but also other policies such as access to pensions and retirement benefits, eligibility for favorable tax treatment, and eligibility for discounts on governmentally provided goods and services. In Part II, I examine different rationales underlying eligibility and discuss the imperfect fit between these rationales and the use of …
Expanding Medicaid In The Postpartum Period, Madison P. Harrell
Expanding Medicaid In The Postpartum Period, Madison P. Harrell
University of Richmond Law Review
This Comment will discuss how the current Medicaid law is insufficient to address the issue of disappointing maternal health outcomes in the United States and how the federal government should begin to remedy the problem. First, I will shed light on the maternal health crisis in the United States, before discussing the history of pregnancy and postpartum Medicaid coverage. Then, I will outline the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, the subsequent court battle over its constitutionality, and the effects of that decision on the current landscape of pregnancy and postpartum Medicaid coverage. Finally, I will detail my proposal for …

The Intergenerational Equity Case For A Wealth Tax, Daniel Schaffa
The Intergenerational Equity Case For A Wealth Tax, Daniel Schaffa
Law Faculty Publications
Intergenerational equity is commonly set aside in favor of other policy objectives, perhaps because of the extreme challenges inherent in adopting and applying an intergenerational equity normative framework. Even when there is a near consensus that the choices of today will have substantial costs in the future, these costs are often downplayed or disregarded. This Article asks whether there are measures that might offer redress to a generation for the costs imposed on it by its predecessors and finds that a one-time wealth tax is a promising option. Although its analysis applies more generally, this Article focuses on the widely …
Neoliberal Civil Procedure, Luke Norris
Neoliberal Civil Procedure, Luke Norris
Law Faculty Publications
This Article argues that the current era of U.S. civil procedure is defined by its neoliberalism. The Supreme Court has over the past few decades reinterpreted the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in ways that have made it more difficult for citizens to bring and maintain civil claims. The major decisions of this new era—in areas as diverse as summary judgment, pleading, class actions, and arbitration—exhibit neoliberal hallmarks. They display neoliberalism’s tendency to naturalize existing market arrangements, its focus on efficiency and obscuring questions of power, its reduction of citizens to consumers, and its attempt to analyze government through the …
How Biden Could Keep Filling The Federal Circuit Court Vacancies, Carl Tobias
How Biden Could Keep Filling The Federal Circuit Court Vacancies, Carl Tobias
Law Faculty Publications
In October 2020, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden speculated that the fifty-four talented, extremely conservative, and exceptionally young, appellate court judges whom then-President Donald Trump and two relatively similar Grand Old Party (GOP) Senate majorities appointed had left the federal appeals courts “out of whack.” Problematic were the many deleterious ways in which Trump and both of the upper chamber majorities in the 115th and 116th Senate undermined the courts of appeals, which are the courts of last resort for practically all lawsuits, because the United States Supreme Court hears so few appeals. The nomination and confirmation processes which Trump …
The Case For Subsidizing Harm: Constrained And Costly Pigouvian Taxation With Multiple Externalities, Daniel Schaffa, Daniel Jaqua
The Case For Subsidizing Harm: Constrained And Costly Pigouvian Taxation With Multiple Externalities, Daniel Schaffa, Daniel Jaqua
Law Faculty Publications
Many activities are subsidized despite generating negative externalities. Examples include needle exchanges and energy production subsidies. We explain this phenomenon by developing a model in which the policymaker faces constraints or costs. We highlight three examples. First, it may be optimal to subsidize a harmful activity if the policymaker cannot set the first-best tax on an externally harmful substitute. Second, it may be optimal to subsidize a harmful production process if the activity mix at lower levels of output uses more harmful activities than the activity mix at higher levels of output. Third, it may be optimal to subsidize a …
Re-Speaking The Bill Of Rights: A New Theory Of Incorporation, Kurt T. Lash
Re-Speaking The Bill Of Rights: A New Theory Of Incorporation, Kurt T. Lash
Law Faculty Publications
The incorporation of the Bill of Rights against the states by way of the Fourteenth Amendment raises a host of textual, historical, and doctrinal difficulties. This is true even if (especially if) we accept the Fourteenth Amendment as having made the original Bill of Rights binding against the states. Does this mean we have two Bills of Rights, one applicable against the federal government with a “1791” meaning and a second applicable against the state governments with an “1868” meaning? Do 1791 understandings carry forward into the 1868 amendment? Or do 1868 understandings of the Bill of Rights carry backward …

Abolishing The Evidence-Based Paradigm, Erin Collins
Abolishing The Evidence-Based Paradigm, Erin Collins
Law Faculty Publications
The belief that policies and procedures should be data-driven and “evidence-based” has become criminal law’s leading paradigm for reform. This evidence-based paradigm, which promotes quantitative data collection and empirical analysis to shape and assess reforms, has been widely embraced for its potential to cure the emotional and political pathologies that led to mass incarceration. It has influenced reforms across the criminal procedure spectrum, from predictive policing through actuarial sentencing. The paradigm’s appeal is clear: it promises an objective approach that lets data – not politics – lead the way and purports to have no agenda beyond identifying effective, efficient reforms. …
Renewable Energy Federalism, Danielle Stokes
Renewable Energy Federalism, Danielle Stokes
Law Faculty Publications
No one seriously questions that an improved and decarbonized energy supply system is a key component of climate change mitigation, but the United States’ system of federalism complicates the siting of utility-scale renewable energy facilities. The new Biden Administration presents the United States with an opportunity to reimagine how this country regulates renewable energy siting, allowing for substantial national progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, primary siting authority for renewable energy projects rests with state and local governments, which generally exercise that authority through zoning and land use planning, while the federal government approves most interstate energy delivery systems. …
War Torts, Rebecca Crootof
War Torts, Rebecca Crootof
Law Faculty Publications
The law of armed conflict has a built-in accountability gap. Under international law, there is no individualized remedy for civilians whose property, bodies, or lives are destroyed in war. Accountability mechanisms for civilian harms are limited to unlawful acts: Individuals who willfully target civilians or otherwise commit serious violations of international humanitarian law may be prosecuted for war crimes, and states that commit internationally wrongful acts must make reparations under the law of state responsibility. But no entity is liable for lawful but unintended harmful acts—regardless of how many or how horrifically civilians are hurt.
This Article proposes developing an …
Debt Governance, Wealth Management, And The Uneven Burdens Of Child Support, Allison Anna Tait
Debt Governance, Wealth Management, And The Uneven Burdens Of Child Support, Allison Anna Tait
Law Faculty Publications
Child support is a ubiquitous kind of debt, common to all income and wealth levels, with data showing that approximately 30% of the U.S. adult population has either been subject to paying child support or has received it. Across this field of child support debt, however, unpaid obligations look different for everyone, and in particular the experiences around child support debt diverge radically for low-income populations and high-wealth ones. On the low-income end of the spectrum, child support debt is a sophisticated and adaptive governance technology that disciplines and penalizes those living in or near poverty. Being in child support …

"Imagine you own a house and some land adjacent to where a new supermarket is being built. You and your neighbors are excited about the proximity and convenience the new market will provide. The supermarket, on the other hand, is less excited about the existence of your house because it interferes with its ability to create additional parking spaces. The supermarket may negotiate with you to buy your property; but if you decline to sell, the supermarket will need to work around your property and have fewer parking spaces. It may need to sweeten its offer to make it more …
The Promise And Perils Of Private Enforcement, Luke Norris
The Promise And Perils Of Private Enforcement, Luke Norris
Law Faculty Publications
A new crop of private enforcement suits is sprouting up across the country. These laws permit people to bring enforcement actions against those who aid or induce abortions, against schools that permit transgender students to use bathrooms consistent with their gender identities, and against schools that permit transgender students to play on sports teams consistent with their gender identities. Similar laws permit people to bring enforcement actions against schools that teach critical race theory and against those who sell restricted firearms. State legislatures are considering a host of laws modeled on these examples, along with other novel regimes. These are …
Reckoning With Structural Racism In Legal Education: Methods Toward A Pedagogy Of Antiracism, Doron Samuel-Siegel
Reckoning With Structural Racism In Legal Education: Methods Toward A Pedagogy Of Antiracism, Doron Samuel-Siegel
Law Faculty Publications
There is an empty quality to much of what passes as “diversity, equity, and inclusion” work in legal education. Despite a robust body of scholarship on teaching law consistent with the goals of antiracism, many legal educators struggle to put theory into practice. This Article responds to that struggle, offering a holistic, methodical approach to a pedagogy of antiracism whose goal is twofold: create conditions in which racially minoritized students learn to their full potential, free from the harms of traditional legal education; and equip all students, regardless of identity, to contribute to the dismantlement of structural racism. Absent such …
Home Of The Dispossessed, Allison Anna Tait
Home Of The Dispossessed, Allison Anna Tait
Law Faculty Publications
The objects that people interact with on a daily basis speak to and of these people who acquire, display, and handle them—the relationship is one of exchange. People living among household objects come to care for their things, identify with them, and think of them as a constituent part of themselves. A meaningful problem arises, however, when people who have deep connections to the objects that populate their lived spaces are not those who possess the legal rights of ownership. These individuals and groups—usually excluded from the realm of property ownership along lines of gender, race, and ethnicity—live on an …
Inheriting Privilege, Allison Anna Tait
Inheriting Privilege, Allison Anna Tait
Law Faculty Publications
All families may be created equal, so to speak. But differences between families in terms of economic wealth, resource networks, and access to cultural capital are both severe and stark. A large part of what shapes this scenery of economic possibility is the legal framework of wealth transfer. Wealth travels through generations and sticks, crystallizing in predictable places and shapes, thereby embedding complex forms of inequality within and between families. The family trust, in particular, is a mode of transfer that facilitates wealth preservation as well as wealth inequality. Family trusts are tailored to convey and defend complex patrimonies in …
Ensuring Black Lives Matter When The Penalty Is Death, Sidney Balman
Ensuring Black Lives Matter When The Penalty Is Death, Sidney Balman
Law Student Publications
"Trayvon Martin. Michael Brown. Breonna Taylor. George Floyd. These are several of the names that come to mind when we think about the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. They are the faces of institutional oppression of Black men and women in their daily interactions with law enforcement. Thus far, the BLM movement has focused on police brutality against Black communities—the vagaries of violence perpetrated on minority communities by those whose duty is to protect them. But there is another place where Black Lives should Matter, but don’t—the death penalty." [..]
