Non-Investment Finance In An Nft World, Joan Macleod Heminway Jan 2024

Non-Investment Finance In An Nft World, Joan Macleod Heminway

Book Chapters

Recent years have witnessed the rise of NFTs as vehicles for non-investment finance, including in nonprofit and political fundraising. As with other financial sectors in which NFTs have a role, the use of NFTs in financing nonprofits and political campaigns and committees has revealed gaps and ambiguities in existing legal regulatory systems. Appetite exists to evolve legal frameworks to complete and clarify applicable bodies of law and regulation.

This chapter undertakes to illuminate and reflect on the use of NFTs in financing nonprofits, political campaigns, and political committees. It begins by reviewing general aspects of the non-investment Internet finance environment …


The Future Of American Legal Tech: Regulation, Culture, Markets, Benjamin H. Barton Feb 2023

The Future Of American Legal Tech: Regulation, Culture, Markets, Benjamin H. Barton

Book Chapters

America’s legal technology boom presents a puzzle. On the one hand, America’s market for legal services is among the most tightly regulated in the world, suggesting infertile ground for a legal technology revolution. America has the world’s most robustly protected lawyer monopoly. Its version of the prohibition against the unauthorized practice of law (UPL) is among the broadest and most aggressive in the world because it theoretically bans all non-lawyers from giving any “legal advice” in addition to the more typical bar against filing papers or appearing in court. Likewise, America’s barriers to entering the legal profession are exceedingly high: …

Russia’S 2020 Constitutional Amendments And The Entrenchment Of The Moscow Patriarchate As A Lever Of Foreign Policy Soft Power, Robert C. Blitt Jan 2022

Russia’S 2020 Constitutional Amendments And The Entrenchment Of The Moscow Patriarchate As A Lever Of Foreign Policy Soft Power, Robert C. Blitt

Book Chapters

Much has been written about the Kremlin’s embrace of the Russian Orthodox Church—Moscow Patriarchate (ROC) as a lever of soft power for advancing Russia’s foreign policy. Based on the substance of the constitutional amendments ratified in July 2020, this chapter reasons that the church-state partnership is poised to grow stronger and more entrenched in the coming years.

After briefly highlighting the energizing effect several key constitutional amendments are likely to have on existing Kremlin foreign policy objectives, this chapter offers an assessment of the ROC’s central role in disseminating and advocating these newly minted constitutional norms across its international platforms …

U.S. Securities Crowdfunding, Joan Macleod Heminway Jul 2021

U.S. Securities Crowdfunding, Joan Macleod Heminway

Book Chapters

In May 2016, a U.S. federal registration exemption for crowdfunded securities offerings came into existence (under the earlier adopted CROWDFUND Act) as a means of helping startups and small businesses obtain funding. In theory, this exemptive regime was an attempt to fill gaps in U.S. securities law that handicapped entrepreneurs and their promoters from obtaining equity, debt, and other financing through the sale of financial investment instruments using digital offering platforms. The use of the internet for business finance is particularly important to U.S. entrepreneurs who may not have access to traditional, institutionalized sources of funding because of their own …

Ethical Considerations: Corporate Social Responsibility And The 21st Century, Joan Macleod Heminway, Irma S. Russell Jan 2020

Ethical Considerations: Corporate Social Responsibility And The 21st Century, Joan Macleod Heminway, Irma S. Russell

Book Chapters

This chapter provides perspectives on the balance of professional and personal ethical considerations that lawyers must achieve to deal effectively and ethically with the conundrums they face in their representation of business clients. This task requires consideration of both issues that some might regard as isolated (or at least mundane and local) and, at the same time, issues that are global and existential—critical to the survival of our species. Although the focus is on the role of lawyers, the challenges con- fronted by lawyers and the rules governing their conduct also inform the ethical responsibilities and role of nonlawyers.

The United States International Religious Freedom Act, Nonstate Actors, And The Donbas Crisis, Robert C. Blitt Jan 2019

The United States International Religious Freedom Act, Nonstate Actors, And The Donbas Crisis, Robert C. Blitt

Book Chapters

This chapter explores whether recent changes to the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA) furnish the U.S. government with effective tools for engaging with and taking potential action against nonstate actors, such as the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR), operating in the context of the Donbas crisis. Among the major amendments to IRFA introduced at the end of 2016, the statute now provides the U.S. government with the formal obligation to report on violent nonstate actors (NSAs) found to be violating freedom of religion or belief. In addition, the executive branch may designate those NSAs …

Federalism, Entitlement, And Punishment Across The U.S. Social Welfare State, Wendy A. Bach Jan 2019

Federalism, Entitlement, And Punishment Across The U.S. Social Welfare State, Wendy A. Bach

Book Chapters

In a 2018 letter the Trump Administration announced that it was open to proposals to include work requirements and other changes in state Medicaid programs. These proposals came in the form of administrative waiver requests that would allow particular states the flexibility to change the rules of Medicaid eligibility in their state. They were seeking permission to condition the receipt of Medicaid on compliance with work requirements and to “align” the Medicaid program with programs like Temporary Assistance to Needy Families. The Obama administration had consistently rejected such requests on the grounds that work requirements did not further the aims …

Springtime For Freedom Of Religion Or Belief: Will Newly Democratic Arab States Guarantee International Human Rights Norms Or Perpetuate Their Violation?, Robert C. Blitt Jan 2013

Springtime For Freedom Of Religion Or Belief: Will Newly Democratic Arab States Guarantee International Human Rights Norms Or Perpetuate Their Violation?, Robert C. Blitt

Book Chapters

The Arab Spring has generated unprecedented and seismic political and social upheaval across the Arab world. The reasons for the outbreak of widespread and vociferous public protest are myriad, but generally understood as including long-simmering resentment of government corruption and repression, underwhelming economic development, chronic unemployment and poor respect for human rights, including the treatment of individuals and groups affiliated with political manifestations of Islam. Despite the initial drama surrounding the street rallies, two years on, the pace of change has grown fitful and uncertain.

The purpose of this chapter is to consider one narrow aspect of the Arab Spring. …
