On March 9, 2022, President Biden made history by signing an Executive Order on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets.

Rescaling City Property, Amnon Lehavi Apr 2023

Rescaling City Property, Amnon Lehavi

Arkansas Law Review

This Article seeks to identify the growing tension between the contemporary physical and digital reality of cities across the world and the formal, often archaic, body of norms that governs city powers and duties vis-à-vis different types of persons and corporations: locals, non-local residents of the same nation-state, and foreigners. The nation-state’s continuing dominance, both in the domestic division of power across various legal systems and in the international arena, often results in a systemic mismatch.

Losing The Veepstakes: How The Contemporary Vice Presidencies Of Mike Pence And Kamala Harris Renew The Case For Vice-Presidential Independence, Jace Motley

Arkansas Law Review

The concept of an independent American vice presidency is nothing new, and historians and scholars have wrestled with the idea at length. In fact, one of the central debates around the adoption of the Twelfth Amendment—the constitutional amendment that requires separate electoral votes for President and Vice President—was the degree of political independence that the Constitution should afford the vice presidency. Over the past two centuries, multiple attempts have been made to address the office’s shortcomings, as evidenced by the fact that nearly twenty-three percent of the post-Bill of Rights amendments to the Constitution have either directly or indirectly implicated …


Hitting The Wall: The Next Step In Addressing The Pink Tax, Danielle A. Essary Feb 2023

Hitting The Wall: The Next Step In Addressing The Pink Tax, Danielle A. Essary

Arkansas Law Review

For thirty-some-odd years, scholars and consumer advocates have called for the elimination of gender-based price discrimination, also known as the “Pink Tax.” Efforts to address this issue have included studies demonstrating the phenomenon’s existence, social movements incited to garner public support for the cause, consumer attempts to bring the issue before courts in hopes of judicial intervention, and legislative undertakings at both the state and federal level to craft legislation prohibiting the practice. Yet, gender-based price discrimination has proven evasive of regulation, outside the scope of judicial reach, and difficult to isolate in terms of hard proof. Even agreeing on …
