Judicial Departure And Legal Certainty: A Comparative Study Of Us And French Law, Faisal Oklah Khattar Shatnawi, Abdulwahab Abdullah Al-Maamari, Yassin Ahmad Al-Qudah, Radeyah Ahmad Mohammad Amayreh, Muneer Ali Muhammad Hulaiel

Hasanuddin Law Review

In any constitutional system, it is difficult to reconcile the need for legal certainty and constitutional adaptation when there is judicial departure from constitutional precedent. In this paper, We develop a functional comparative approach that explains how constitutional systems maintain legal certainty in the face of constitutional adaptation enabled by judicial departure from constitutional precedents. Using comparative analysis of United States Supreme Court jurisprudence (1954–2023) and French Constitutional Council rulings (1971–2023), We examine how such systems preserve their constitutional stability in spite of judicial change. It is concluded that the departure of courts from constitutional precedent need not mean the …

Beyond Walls And Wires: The Supreme Court’S Recognition Of Digital Privacy Under The Fourth Amendment, Joanna Morris

Discovery Day - Daytona Beach

The Founding Fathers included the Fourth Amendment in the Bill of Rights to protect individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures and their right to privacy. However, rapid advances in modern digital technology have challenged traditional definitions of privacy, raising constitutional questions about digital privacy rights. Smartphones and location tracking collects personal information that does not fit neatly within pre-digital era Fourth Amendment doctrines. This research examines how the United States Supreme Court has adapted interpretations of the Fourth Amendment to address digital privacy concerns, focusing on the tensions between Fourth Amendment doctrines and technology that enables extensive government access to …

The Byu Advocate, J. Reuben Clark Law School

The BYU Advocate (& Annual Reports)

"Experiential learning opportunities in law school have expanded dramatically, but pressure remains for students to graduate ready to practice. Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming education and legal practice, generating questions about how and what to teach and raising uncertainties about future employment. At the same time, big firms are interviewing students in their first semester and extending offers before or shortly after first-semester grades are out."

Sandbox Fictions, Douglas Sarro

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

Regulatory sandboxes are designed to give firms space to offer novel products and services to consumers on a trial basis, under an interim, tailor-made regulatory regime. Ideally, this leaves regulators better placed to understand how rules ought to be modified to accommodate new, socially beneficial offerings on a more permanent basis. But little is known about sandboxes’ implications for consumers. Will they reduce barriers to entry for innovative offerings that do a better job of serving consumer needs? Or will they lead regulators to compromise on consumer protections, allowing low-quality or even fraudulent offerings to flow into the markets they …

Competition For All? The Ftc’S Ban On Non-Competes And The More Effective Route In Promoting Competition, Aniqah Nashiat

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

Employment contracts have historically included non-compete agreements, which are restrictive covenants forbidding employees from working “for competitors of their former employer for a certain period of time and over a defined geographic area.” American jurisprudence has always left enforcement of these non-competes to states. In the federal government, Congress has never successfully passed legislation on the per se illegality of non-competes. Instead, President Joe Biden signed an executive order in 2021 aimed at promoting the interests of American workers because companies requiring them to sign non-competes restricted their ability to change jobs. Biden explained that strengthening antitrust laws would …

The Minority Report: When Should Publicly Traded Corporations Be Required To Disclose Material Information To Its Shareholders Under Item 303?, Alicia Mayo

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

Due to the social distancing mandate during the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for cloud-based platforms conducting virtual meetings grew drastically. ON24, a cloud-based digital platform that provides interactive webinars, virtual events, and multimedia content experiences, was one of the companies that experienced “explosive growth.” ON24’s customers increased from 760 customers to 1,900 from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2020, and its revenue increased by fifty-nine percent from the previous year. ON24’s annual recurring revenue is driven by the company’s ability to acquire new customers while maintaining and expanding its existing client relationships. On February 3, 2021, ON24 commenced …

Cross-Talk, The Honorable Raymond J. Lohier, John Q. Barrett, Noa Ben-Asher, Margaret E. Mcguinness, Mark L. Movsesian, Michael A. Perino

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

You know what is interesting? This has been on my mind for a long time as my law clerk, Colin, knows. What you have all described in different ways, maybe with the exception of the religious rights case, but I will get to that, is a Supreme Court that either is, or perceives itself to be, unchecked by Congress and at times unchecked by the President, largely for reasons that we can discuss.

Change And Continuity: Foreign Affairs And Procedure At The Supreme Court 2024–25, Margaret E. Mcguinness

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

The 100th anniversary of the founding of the Law School is a wonderful occasion to discuss how research and teaching form us as professors within the St. John’s community. I teach, research, and write about international law, international human rights, diplomacy, and the ways in which international law becomes law in the United States. I also teach civil procedure and international litigation. These two strands of my work allow me to think about the complex interplay between international law and domestic court procedure. I also have professional experience in each of these areas: First, as a career diplomat for …

How Can Electronic Timekeeping Systems Provide Cost And Time Savings Compared To Manual Time Entry And Paper-Based Timesheets?, Jill Childs

Certified Public Manager® Applied Research

Paper-based timekeeping methods have historically been the default way for both municipalities and businesses to document hours worked by employees. However, due to analog timekeeping’s lack of verification methods, human error and intentional dishonesty combine to make this method unreliable. These discrepancies are also costly, as human resources staff must be compensated for the time it takes to verify entries and correct mistakes, and if unchecked, the falsified time can potentially result in thousands of dollars of unearned wages lost. This article details various methods and motivations for falsification and argues for the implementation of electronic timekeeping systems, such as …

Lessons Learned For The Independent Panel For Evidence For Action Against Amr From Previous International Science Panels: Stakeholder Views From The 2025 Lagos Workshop, Iruka N. Okeke, Anthony Mcdonnell, Ayodele A. Akinyele, Javier Guzman, Kevin Outterson

Faculty Scholarship

In September, 2024, the UN General Assembly assigned the Quadripartite Joint Secretariat on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) the task of establishing an Independent Panel for Evidence for Action against AMR (IPEA). To promote stakeholder views and input around the constitution and functioning of this Panel, which could feed into the Quadripartite Joint Secretariat’s consultation process, we independently commissioned seven papers to examine the lessons that could be learned from other high-level scientific panels. We then convened 85 stakeholders, primed with the background papers. The Workshop, held in Lagos, Nigeria in April, 2025, drew representation from around the world, particularly low-income or …

Contract Theory In The Saudi Civil Transactions Law “A Critical Comparative Study”, Mohamad Arfan Alkhatib

BAU Journal - Journal of Legal Studies - مجلة الدراسات القانونية

This comparative critical study provides an in-depth doctrinal and analytical examination of contract theory under the Saudi Civil Transactions Law, situating its analysis within the broader framework of the modern law of obligations. The inquiry is structured around two interdependent axes. The first considers the determinants of contracting, analysed through the dual categories of contractual autonomy and the binding normative force of contract (force obligatoire). The second addresses the requirements of contracting, focusing on the constituent essentialia negotii and the extent to which such elements may be subject to curative mechanisms within the applicable invalidity …

Real Bullets, Plastic Guns: Evaluating The Strength Of 3-D Printed Gun Parts, Maria Latenia Mayol

Student Theses

Privately made firearms (PMFs), often referred to as “ghost guns,” are firearms manufactured or assembled by individuals rather than federally licensed manufacturers. Although the terms are frequently used interchangeably, “ghost gun” more specifically describes an unserialized firearm, whereas PMFs include a broader range of firearms produced through nontraditional manufacturing methods. PMFs may be entirely 3-D printed, assembled from partially completed firearm kits, or constructed by integrating additively manufactured components with commercially manufactured firearm parts. The increasing accessibility of additive manufacturing and widespread dissemination of computer-aided design files have raised concerns about concealment, regulation, and forensic evasion, particularly when factory-manufactured components …

Assessing The Impact Dynamics Of Less Lethal Ammunition, Steven Bermejo

Student Theses

Less-lethal ammunition is widely used by law enforcement as an alternative to lethal force during crowd control, on-street confrontations, and other situations requiring force. Although these projectiles are intended to reduce risk of fatal injury, serious injuries and fatalities have been reported, highlighting the need to better understand the factors that influence their impact behavior. This study evaluated the impact dynamics of four types of 12-gauge less-lethal ammunition, including rubber buckshot, single rubber ball, double rubber ball, and Byrna kinetic projectile, using kinetic energy calculations derived from projectile mass and velocity measurements. In addition, Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared …
