It was an honor to be asked to write this introduction to the American UniversityLegislation & PolicyBriefannual publication. AULPB was launched in 2008 with help from then-Professor Jamie Raskin as the Legislation and Policy Roundtable, becoming a fully-fledged publication in 2011. Today, the AULPB plays a vital role in the intellectual life of the Washington College of Law, serving as the central forum for scholarship on topics at the intersection of law and public policy.

Challenges To The Independence Of Inspectors General In Robust Congressional Oversight, Fernando R. Laguarda
Challenges To The Independence Of Inspectors General In Robust Congressional Oversight, Fernando R. Laguarda
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Congressional oversight of the Executive is among the chief responsibilities of the legislative branch. Inspectors General ("IGs") are among the most important tools available to Congress because they are "hard-wired" into the Executive itself. The value of IGs to Congress depends on their expertise in the workings of their host agencies and their "independence" from those agencies. But "independence" is not a statutorily defined term. As the agencies, and sometimes Congress itself, expand the role of IGs to engage in activities that parallel the regulatory programs of their host agencies, IG independence is compromised and the value IGs provide to …

Acting Differently: How Science On The Social Brain Can Inform Antidiscrimination Law, Susan Carle
Acting Differently: How Science On The Social Brain Can Inform Antidiscrimination Law, Susan Carle
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Legal scholars are becoming increasingly interested in how the literature on implicit bias helps explain illegal discrimination. However, these scholars have not yet mined all of the insights that science on the social brain can offer antidiscrimination law. That science, which researchers refer to as social neuroscience, involves a broadly interdisciplinary approach anchored in experimental natural science methodologies. Social neuroscience shows that the brain tends to evaluate others by distinguishing between "us" versus "them" on the basis of often insignificant characteristics, such as how people dress, sing, joke, or otherwise behave. Subtle behavioral markers signal social identity and group membership, …
Using The Ada's 'Integration Mandate' To Disrupt Mass Incarceration, Robert Dinerstein
Using The Ada's 'Integration Mandate' To Disrupt Mass Incarceration, Robert Dinerstein
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
As a result of the disability rights movement's fight for the development of community-based services, the percentage of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and mental illness living in institutions has significantly decreased over the last few decades. However, in part because of government failure to invest properly in community-based services required for a successful transition from institutions, individuals with disabilities are now dramatically overrepresented in jails and prisons. The Americans with Disabilities Act's (ADA) "integration mandate" -- a principle strengthened by the Supreme Court's 1999 Olmstead v. L.C. decision, entitling individuals with disabilities to receive services in the …
Reclaiming The Navajo Range: Resolving The Conflict Between Grazing Rights And Development, Ezra Rosser
Reclaiming The Navajo Range: Resolving The Conflict Between Grazing Rights And Development, Ezra Rosser
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Grazing is fundamental to Navajo identity, yet management of the Navajo range remains highly problematic. This Essay connects the federal government's devastating livestock reduction effort of the 1930s with the inability of the Navajo Nation to place meaningful limits on grazing and the power of grazing permittees. It argues that the Navajo Nation should consider reasserting the tribe's traditional understanding that property rights depend on use as a way to create space for reservation development.
Reining In A 'Renegade' Court: Tc Heartland And The Eastern District Of Texas, Jonas Anderson
Reining In A 'Renegade' Court: Tc Heartland And The Eastern District Of Texas, Jonas Anderson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
In TC Heartland v. Kraft Foods Group Brands, the Supreme Court tightened the venue requirement for patent cases, making it more difficult for a plaintiff to demonstrate that a district court has venue over a defendant. Many commentators, however, view TC Heartland as merely a “reshuffling” of the district courts that receive patent cases. Whereas before the case, a large percentage of patent cases were filed in the Eastern District of Texas, now, after TC Heartland, various other U.S. district courts (principally, the District of Delaware) have experienced an increase in patent infringement filings. Some commentators are unconvinced that this …
