En La Iglesia Católica De Nueva York, Los Sobrevivientes Latinos De Abuso Infantil Podrían Estarse Perdiendo Un Momento Único De Rendición De Cuentas, Roman O. Gressier, Jocelyn Azucena Contreras

Capstones

El pasaje de la Ley de Protección de Víctimas Infantiles (CVA por sus siglas en inglés) en el Estado de Nueva York en agosto del 2019 ofrece un momento histórico de rendición de cuentas desde instituciones que por décadas permitieron u ocultaron abuso sexual contra niños bajo su cuidado. Desde que se aprobó la ley hasta 1 diciembre 2020, las cortes estatales registraron poco menos de 900 casos contra las dos diócesis de la Iglesia Católica que abarcan la Ciudad de Nueva York.

Aunque la CVA estará vigente por un plazo total de dos años, la impunidad de la que …

Enough Is As Good As A Feast, Noah C. Chauvin

Seattle University Law Review

Ipse Dixit, the podcast on legal scholarship, provides a valuable service to the legal community and particularly to the legal academy. The podcast’s hosts skillfully interview guests about their legal and law-related scholarship, helping those guests communicate their ideas clearly and concisely. In this review essay, I argue that Ipse Dixit has made a major contribution to legal scholarship by demonstrating in its interview episodes that law review articles are neither the only nor the best way of communicating scholarly ideas. This contribution should be considered “scholarship,” because one of the primary goals of scholarship is to communicate new ideas.

The Opioid Litigation: The Fda Is Mia, Catherine M. Sharkey

Dickinson Law Review (2017-Present)

It is readily agreed that federal preemption of state tort law alters the balance between federal and state power. Federal preemption is a high-profile defense in almost all modern products liability cases. It is thus surprising to see how little attention has been given to federal preemption by courts and commentators in the opioid litigation. Opioid litigation provides a lens through which I explore the role of state and federal courts and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in striking the right balance of power. My purpose here is not to resolve the divide among the few courts that have …

Supervisors Without Supervision: Colon, Mckenna, And The Confusing State Of Supervisory Liability In The Second Circuit, Ryan E. Johnson

Washington and Lee Law Review

This Note received the 2019 Washington and Lee Law Council Law Review Award.

This Note analyzes two intra-Second Circuit splits that make it nearly impossible for prisoners to recover against supervisors under § 1983. First, district courts in the Second Circuit are divided as to whether the five categories of personal involvement defined in Colon v. Coughlin survive the Supreme Court’s decision in Ashcroft v. Iqbal. Personal involvement by the supervisory defendant is a necessary element to impose supervisory liability. Some district courts hold that only the first and third Colon factors survive Iqbal, while others hold that all …
