Mandated Disclosure In Literary Hybrid Speech, Zahr K. Said Jun 2013

Mandated Disclosure In Literary Hybrid Speech, Zahr K. Said

Washington Law Review

This Article, written for the Washington Law Review’s 2013 Symposium, The Disclosure Crisis, argues that hidden sponsorship creates a form of non-actionable influence rather than causing legally cognizable deception that mandatory disclosure can and should cure. The Article identifies and calls into question three widely held assumptions underpinning much of the regulation of embedded advertising, or hidden sponsorship, in artistic communications. The first assumption is that advertising can be meaningfully discerned and separated from communicative content for the purposes of mandating disclosure, even when such advertising occurs in “hybrid speech.” The second assumption is that the hidden promotional aspects …


Disclosure, Scholarly Ethics, And The Future Of Law Reviews: A Few Preliminary Thoughts, Ronald K.L. Collins, Lisa G. Lerman Jun 2013

Disclosure, Scholarly Ethics, And The Future Of Law Reviews: A Few Preliminary Thoughts, Ronald K.L. Collins, Lisa G. Lerman

Washington Law Review

Scholarship is the work-product of scholars. The word derives the Latin schola, as in school. Hence, scholarship is related to education, which in turn is related to the advancement of human knowledge. By that measure, the best scholarship may increase our knowledge, both practical and theoretical. But when undisclosed bias affects that which is offered up as knowledge, it may unduly slant our understanding of life, law, and other things that matter. While bias-free knowledge may be a utopian ideal, it is, nonetheless, a principle worthy of our respect.

Professional Legal Writing Declaring Your Independence, Patrick R. Hugg Apr 2013

Professional Legal Writing Declaring Your Independence, Patrick R. Hugg

Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary

This article proposes two controversial assertions about the writing of many lawyers and judges today and offers a central theme for improving that writing. These bold propositions are offered in an effort to awaken and perhaps inspire the legions of overworked, harried legal scriveners inhabiting our legal community to adopt a new methodology of writing. Too many legal writers today are forced by the various (nefarious) circumstances of their work to crank out reams of hastily conceived and poorly edited text. The time has arrived for us to admit to this unacceptable state of affairs and to declare independence from …

Searching For The Nano-Needle In A Green Haystack: Researching The Environmental, Health, And Safety Ramifications Of Nanotechnology, Taryn L. Rucinski Apr 2013

Searching For The Nano-Needle In A Green Haystack: Researching The Environmental, Health, And Safety Ramifications Of Nanotechnology, Taryn L. Rucinski

Pace Environmental Law Review

This Article will attempt to serve as a primer by demystifying the process of how to efficiently locate resources discussing the environmental health and safety (EHS) impacts of nanotechnology in the United States (U.S.). Part I of this Article begins with an examination of basic strategies for conducting research in the EHS nanotech field. Part II focuses on traditional legal resources such as texts, treatises, encyclopedias, as well as law review and journal articles. Part III examines such non-legal resources as reports, scientific studies, internet sites and other current awareness services. This last section is followed by a brief conclusion.

Oscola, The Oxford Standard For Citation Of Legal Authorities, John Kleefeld Apr 2013

Oscola, The Oxford Standard For Citation Of Legal Authorities, John Kleefeld

Dalhousie Law Journal

With the publication of the fourth edition of OSCOLA (the first being in 2000), the Oscolites, if I may adopt such a term, have issued an implicit challenge to other contenders in the world of legal citation. I suggest that the challenge has four prongs. The first aims at what may be called the "hegemony of uniformity."' The second, at a tendency to what Judge Posner has declaimed as "hypertrophy" in the size of legal citation manuals. The third, at barriers to accessing such manuals. And the fourth prong, gentler and more tentative than the other three, at the notion …


Rhetorical Judgments: Using Holistic Assessment To Improve The Quality Of Administrative Decisions, Roger J. Klurfeld, Steven Placek Mar 2013

Rhetorical Judgments: Using Holistic Assessment To Improve The Quality Of Administrative Decisions, Roger J. Klurfeld, Steven Placek

Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary

Federal, state, and local governments issue hundreds of thousands of administrative decisions annually. Considering the number of encounters the public has with administrative appeal agencies, administrative decisions may be the largest category of legal writing and reading interaction the public has with the legal system. Many of these agencies have identified writing quality - however they define it - as a priority in their strategic plans, but the overwhelming number of hearings and decisions, coupled with regulatory guidelines for timeliness, may subordinate this goal to other management priorities. Improving the quality of administrative decisions at these agencies presents a practical …

Not-So-Open Access To Legal Scholarship: Balancing Stakeholder Interests With Copyright Principles, Christopher J. Ryan Jr. Jan 2013

Not-So-Open Access To Legal Scholarship: Balancing Stakeholder Interests With Copyright Principles, Christopher J. Ryan Jr.

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Last February, John P. Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, issued a new policy designed to increase open access to federally-financed research. The memorandum, covering federal agencies with annual expenditures in excess of $100 million for scientific research and development, requires, inter alia, that: (1) agencies develop “clear and coordinated policies” to make federally- funded studies freely available to the public within one year of publication, and (2) researchers account for and manage the digital data resulting from federally-funded scientific research. In addition, the policy requires data from publicly-funded research to be stored for …
