When Does A Non-Fungible Token (Nft) Become A Security?, Brian Elzweig, Lawrence J. Trautman
When Does A Non-Fungible Token (Nft) Become A Security?, Brian Elzweig, Lawrence J. Trautman
Georgia State University Law Review
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) gained prominence in the news cycle during March 2021 when $69 million was paid in a cryptocurrency known as Ether for a unique digital art piece titled Everydays: The First 5000 Days. Regulating NFTs is complicated because the technology encompasses varied applications. Therefore, it is the particular use of a given NFT that will determine its appropriate regulatory regime. For example, NFTs may take the form of collectibles, data associated with a physical item, financial instruments, or permanent records associated with a person, such as marriage licenses or property deeds. Just like digital art in the form …
The Fourth Industrial Revolution And Legal Education, Steven R. Smith
The Fourth Industrial Revolution And Legal Education, Steven R. Smith
Georgia State University Law Review
A “Fourth Industrial Revolution” (4IR) will dramatically change current law students’ careers. Innovations in technology, business, and social structures will require different and more sophisticated legal services. Law school graduates will be responsible for harnessing, encouraging, and establishing legal controls that offer society the benefits of these new technologies while limiting the undesirable side effects. At the same time, the recurring, repetitive practice of law will begin to disappear as more work is done much cheaper and better by machines.
The 4IR presents extraordinary opportunities for law schools, the legal profession, and graduates, but it also presents significant challenges. To …
Choice Of Law And Time, Part Ii: Choice Of Law Clauses And Changing Law, Jeffrey L. Rensberger
Choice Of Law And Time, Part Ii: Choice Of Law Clauses And Changing Law, Jeffrey L. Rensberger
Georgia State University Law Review
Modern choice of law analysis usually honors the parties’ contractual choice of governing law. But what happens when the law selected by the parties changes between the time of their contracting and the time of litigation? Or what if the law of the state whose law would otherwise apply changes so that its policy is now offended by the choice of law clause although its policy was not violated when the parties contracted? These questions raise the often-overlooked temporal aspect of choice of law analysis. Should courts regard the law to be applied as fixed to the time of the …
First, Do No Harm: Prioritizing Patients Over Politics In The Battle Over Gender-Affirming Care, Greg Mercer
First, Do No Harm: Prioritizing Patients Over Politics In The Battle Over Gender-Affirming Care, Greg Mercer
Georgia State University Law Review
The medical community’s move to reclassify gender dysphoria as a condition that results in distress rather than a mental disorder has been instrumental in destigmatizing transgender people. However, state laws that aim to strip physicians of their ability to prescribe gender-affirming care, along with physicians’ refusal to comply with federal regulations requiring access to gender-affirming care, threaten to undo those gains. Opponents of gender-affirming care attempt to wield the concept of medical judgment as both a sword and a shield—preventing physicians from exercising their medical judgment to provide gender-affirming care while simultaneously allowing physicians to abstain from providing it. Although …
Overcoming The Presumption Of The Deceitful Debtor, Rebecca Rhym
Overcoming The Presumption Of The Deceitful Debtor, Rebecca Rhym
Georgia State University Law Review
Congress codified presumed consumer debtor abuse into the Bankruptcy Code with the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. Since then, distrust of low- and middle-class debtors has permeated the legal system, evidenced most visibly by how easily legislators are swayed by creditor lobbyists’ rhetoric. This distrust has also reached our courts, where judges invoke the doctrine of judicial estoppel to bar debtor-plaintiffs from pursuing tort claims undisclosed in bankruptcy petitions. Instead of addressing societal problems underlying the high number of bankruptcy filings, like financial literacy and predatory lending, this Note argues that lawmakers and courts are perpetuating …
The Lawyer's Duty Of Tech Competence Post-Covid: Why Georgia Needs A New Professional Rule Now—More Than Ever, Julia Webb
Georgia State University Law Review
The American Bar Association (ABA) promulgates the Model Rules for Professional Conduct (Model Rules), which prescribe the behavior with which lawyers must comply in demonstrating competency to practice law. In 2012, the ABA updated Comment 8 to Model Rule 1.1 to require maintaining competence in the “benefits and risks associated with relevant technology,” also known as a lawyer’s “duty of technological competence.” A decade later, the majority of state bar associations have adopted and implemented this language. Georgia, however, remains among the last ten states that have not yet formally adopted the duty of technological competence. The COVID-19 pandemic forced …
Death By Deduction: Section 2058 And The Decline Of State Death Taxes, Jeffrey A. Cooper
Death By Deduction: Section 2058 And The Decline Of State Death Taxes, Jeffrey A. Cooper
ACTEC Law Journal
This article illustrates how, and seeks to explain why, the deduction for state estate taxes (Internal Revenue Code Section 2058) seems to have had no meaningful effect on state tax policy.
Trust Alteration And The Dead Hand Paradox, Jeffrey N. Pennell, Reid Kress Weisbord
Trust Alteration And The Dead Hand Paradox, Jeffrey N. Pennell, Reid Kress Weisbord
ACTEC Law Journal
Trusts are popular instruments for wealth transmission because they can be crafted to suit almost any imaginable estate planning goal that is not contrary to public policy. With the abrogation of the Rule Against Perpetuities in most states, settlors may impose trust terms that will be legally enforceable for scores of future generations, if not in perpetuity. Long-term and perpetual trusts, however, present a paradox of dead hand control, because the specificity and the durability of settlor-imposed restrictions tend to be inversely related. As donative preferences become increasingly specific and restrictive, trusts become less durable with the passage of time, …
The Slayer Rule: An Empirical Examination, Fredrick E. Vars
The Slayer Rule: An Empirical Examination, Fredrick E. Vars
ACTEC Law Journal
This study is the first to empirically test key assumptions underlying the slayer rule. Over a thousand survey respondents answered the question “What’s fair?” or “What would the decedent want?” in twelve different scenarios. Some of the most significant conclusions are that the slayer rule should not apply to assisted suicide, killings in self-defense, or killings due to mental illness. On the other hand, the slayer rule should be expanded beyond murder in some circumstances, such as elder abuse and neglect. And the slayer rule should be converted from a mandatory rule into a default rule, which testators could opt …

Emerging Technology's Language Wars: Cryptocurrency, Carla L. Reyes
Emerging Technology's Language Wars: Cryptocurrency, Carla L. Reyes
William & Mary Law Review
Work at the intersection of blockchain technology and law suffers from a distinct linguistic disadvantage. As a highly interdisciplinary area of inquiry, legal researchers, lawmakers, researchers in the technical sciences, and the public all talk past each other, using the same words, but as different terms of art. Evidence of these language wars largely derives from anecdote. To better assess the nature and scope of the problem, this Article uses corpus linguistics to reveal the inherent value conflicts embedded in definitional differences and debates related to developing regulation in one specific area of the blockchain technology ecosystem: cryptocurrency. Using cryptocurrency …
Aadhaar: India’S National Identification System And Consent-Based Privacy Rights, Anvitha S. Yalavarthy
Aadhaar: India’S National Identification System And Consent-Based Privacy Rights, Anvitha S. Yalavarthy
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
India’s national identification program, Aadhaar, created the largest national biometric database in the world. While the program is touted as voluntary, the increasing dependence on it, and the laws surrounding it, make it de facto mandatory. This Note examines the social and legal landscapes surrounding the Aadhaar program along with the principles of data privacy and biometric data collection in the European Union and the United States to show how those principles can and should apply to the Aadhaar system.
This Note suggests that the way to strengthen the Aadhaar system’s privacy regime is by balancing the principles of necessity …
Battlegrounds For Banned Books: The First Amendment And Public School Libraries, Jensen Rehn
Battlegrounds For Banned Books: The First Amendment And Public School Libraries, Jensen Rehn
Notre Dame Law Review
Embedded in each conversation about banning books are arguments that use legal terminology. A brief conversation about banned books with a librarian will likely lead to a discussion of the “Library Bill of Rights” published by the ALA. No one is bound by the ALA’s Bill of Rights, which lacks a method of enforcement. Thus, the question remains: what is the legal landscape of banning books? Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has not provided a clear precedent about banning books from public school libraries. In fact, the Supreme Court has only taken cases about libraries on three occasions, each of which …

Making Virtual Things, Joshua A.T. Fairfield
Making Virtual Things, Joshua A.T. Fairfield
William & Mary Law Review
People value virtual things—such as NFTs—because such assets trigger and satisfy deep-seated narratives of property and ownership. The cause of the recent series of failures to regulate virtual assets, and the resulting crashes, has been a failure to take seriously the ways people perceive and use the assets. Current legal frameworks fail to support buyers’ and users’ expectations of ownership in virtual things they purchase.
Making virtual things is a matter of social construction of value. Virtual things, like real-world things, have value because a community values them for a purpose. It therefore makes no sense to discount how and …
