Advanced Practice Provider-Physician Collaboration And Medical Staff Governance: A Framework For Patient Safety, Nicolas Testa, Kaysha Hervey, Cynthia Borum

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

The growth of advanced practice providers (APPs) is occurring in parallel with persistent and projected physician shortages. One important solution and increasingly visible response to these workforce challenges is the expanding role of APPs. Strong physician-APP partnerships can help distribute workload, improve access, and support sustainable practice with the delivery of safe, quality patient care. The future of clinical care will depend on effective APP-physician collaboration grounded in sound credentialing, clearly defined supervision and practice expectations, and robust medical staff monitoring programs. We describe the governance and oversight processes in a large health care system to assess and support APP …

Ritualidad, Memoria Y Cosmovisión: Ámbitos De La Tradición Sonora Entre Los Mayas Peninsulares, Juan Carrillo González

Journal of Maya Heritage

El presente trabajo se centra en esclarecer los contenidos estructurales de la tradición sonora entre los mayas peninsulares a través del análisis del pensamiento mítico y las prácticas ceremoniales. Estos elementos, al enmarcarse en un contexto de larga duración, abren asimismo la posibilidad de esclarecer la correlación entre pasado y presente de la confección instrumental especializada realizada por los artesanos indígenas peninsulares, así como la preservación de distintas convenciones de la musicalidad que han permanecido articuladas a la cosmovisión. La investigación conjuga distintos hallazgos que se desprenden de la compilación de fuentes documentales primarias, relatos provenientes de viajeros decimonónicos y …

Dyslexia: A Beginner’S Guide For Criminal Justice, Forensic Mental Health, And Legal Professionals, Jerrod Brown Ph.D., M.A., M.S., M.S., M.S., Amy Guillot, Morgan Rutkowski, Jeremiah B. Schimp, Jonathan Q. Ward, Kimberly Dodson, Shelley Mydra Dmft, Lmft, Amanda Fenrich, Joshua Kirven, Bettye Sue Hennington, Matthew Peacock, Janina Cich, Nicole Kimberley-Staeheli

Forensic Scholars Today

Dyslexia is a heritable, neurobiological learning disorder that persistently interferes with reading, spelling, and writing and is distinct from intellectual, visual, or hearing impairments. Although an estimated 15% to 20% of the general population may show symptoms of dyslexia, studies report that 41% to 62% of incarcerated individuals display dyslexia-related characteristics. This beginner’s guide introduces dyslexia for criminal justice, forensic mental health, and legal professionals. It reviews diagnostic considerations, including the distinction between dyslexia and low literacy, the varied cognitive profiles of dyslexia, and the influence of co-occurring conditions such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The article frames the link between dyslexia …

Dicta’S Danger: The Lingering Nuisance Of Abel V. United States, Meg Penrose

University of Miami Law Review

This Article urges judges and lawyers to avoid relying on dicta when making legal claims. Dicta can cause confusion and generate incorrect legal conclusions. The most recent instance of dicta’s danger involves legal guidance on immigration arrests provided by the Department of Homeland Security’s General Counsel. Counsel erroneously relies on dicta from a 1960 Supreme Court case, Abel v. United States, in advising that law enforcement can legally enter a home armed solely with an administrative immigration arrest warrant. They cannot. The cited dicta precede binding Supreme Court precedent holding that the Fourth Amendment draws a firm line at …

The External Reach Of Eu Labour Law: Channels Of Influence And The Case Of Vietnam, Małgorzata Grześków

Hasanuddin Law Review

This article examines how EU labour-law standards influence labour-related compliance beyond EU territory, despite the predominantly territorial character of public enforcement. It addresses the mismatch between the EU's state-centred enforcement framework and the transnational organisation of production, in which labour risks frequently arise in third-country supply chains. The aim of the article is to conceptualise ``external reach'' and to assess the main channels through which EU labour-related expectations operate outside the Union. Methodologically, the article combines doctrinal analysis with conceptual clarification and applies this framework to the case of Vietnam. It identifies three principal channels of external reach: labour provisions …

From Identity To Monetization: Governing Digital Royalty Management Through Digital Identity In Indonesia, Edmon Makarim, Brian Amy Prastyo, Nadirsyah Hosen, Hamzah Halim

Hasanuddin Law Review

Platform-economy royalty systems still rely on fragmented metadata, intermediary-controlled databases, and Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems designed mainly for access control and copyright enforcement. Inconsistent attribution, delayed payments, and limited interoperability therefore persist. This article proposes a Digital Royalty Management Model, a governance framework grounded in Digital Identity and digital trust infrastructures. Its architecture links Subject Identity, Digital Object Identity, Rights and Entitlements, Licensing and Authorization, Provenance and Usage, Royalty Entitlement and Allocation, and Payment and Remuneration. Legally, identity assurance can support verifiable coordination of rights-related relationships without substituting for substantive copyright law. Using a qualitative, normative, conceptual, comparative, and …

Materiality In Saudi Real Estate Development Contracts: Comparative Jurisprudence And Cross-Border Disputes, Abdulrahman Mohammed Alzeer

Hasanuddin Law Review

The Saudi Civil Transactions Law (CTL) contains materiality-related standards that apply at different phases of the contract life cycle as separate doctrines rather than as an overarching doctrine. Article 74 uses a counterfactual analysis of partial invalidity and severability, while Articles 95 and 107 address the characteristics or purposes of contractual performance and the consequences of non-performance. The difficulty is not a conflict between Articles 74 and 107, but the absence of a unified analytical model for assessing the significance of non-performance under provisions on performance, interpretation, defect, and remedy. This article addresses these fragmented CTL elements and contends that …

From Classroom To Courtroom: Cross-Jurisdictional Legal Protections For Teachers In Student Disciplinary Cases, Sapto Budoyo, Nadea Lathifah Nugraheni, Praditya Arcy Pratama, Mahyuddin Bin Arsat

Hasanuddin Law Review

Legal protections for teachers in student disciplinary cases are increasingly urgent. This study investigates the legal protections afforded to teachers in managing student disciplinary cases in Indonesia and Malaysia, highlighting how legislative frameworks, sociocultural influences, and institutional mechanisms shape teachers' rights and responsibilities. Using a comparative legal approach, the research analyzes statutory provisions, policy directives, and educational practices in both jurisdictions. The comparison indicates that Malaysia offers a more institutionally structured framework by defining school-level disciplinary authority and separating authorized disciplinary measures from individual teacher discretion. This framework balances educator autonomy with student rights, although gaps remain in enforcement and …

Criminal And Administrative Liability For Money Laundering In Automated Digital Insurance Brokerage: An Oman-Centred Comparative Analysis, Omar Musbih, Ghazi Ayed Alghathian

Hasanuddin Law Review

The digital transformation of Gulf insurance intermediation creates difficulties applying anti-money laundering (AML) rules where customer assessment, transaction processing, and compliance decisions are materially automated. This study examines how Omani law allocates criminal and administrative responsibility for money laundering in automated digital insurance brokerage, using Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as functional comparators and the European Union (EU) as a supranational benchmark for preventive regulation and systems governance. A doctrinal-comparative methodology analyses AML legislation, penal provisions, electronic-insurance regulation, digital-governance instruments, and publicly accessible judicial and supervisory materials through a qualitative comparative matrix. Three interconnected gaps emerge: a …

The 'Canada Brand' In Africa: Human Rights And Environmental Conflict In Extractive Industries, Shin Imai, Sara Ghebremusse

All Papers

The first comprehensive report on the cumulative impacts of Canadian extractive industries in Africa. There are profiles of 23 Canadian companies, operating in 17 African countries, over a period of 30 years. The report contrasts company actions against international standards for corporate accountability in eight areas: Displacement of communities; Security and Violence: The North Mara Mine; Workers: Conscription, Conflict and Deadly Accidents, Corruption; Silencing Critiques and Suppressing Investigations; Extractive Industries in Conflict-Affected Areas; Environmental Impacts; Economic Diplomacy: Canadian Support to Extractive Industries.   The cumulative impacts are alarming. For example, JCAP found documentation of over 300,000 people being displaced by Canadian …

Rethinking Remittitur In Texas Law, David M. Gunn

Texas A&M Law Review

The Texas appellate rules say next to nothing about remittitur. About as far as they go is to state in Rule 46.3 that a court of appeals “may suggest a remittitur.” The text and history of this provision might raise more questions than they answer. Nineteenth-century courts across the country began resorting to remittitur, but they spent little time explaining remittitur’s origins. Texas courts followed a similar path, until an 1893 statute expressly told the courts what to do in instances of excessive damages: they had a “duty” to “indicate” to the damage claimant the amount of the excess, with …

Ai And Legal Malpractice: Are We Due For A Reckoning?, John Browning

Texas A&M Law Review

As the rate of AI adoption by lawyers steadily climbs, unfortunately so has the number of incidents of AI misuse by attorneys. For some time, courts satisfied themselves with giving offending lawyers warnings, ordering them to take additional CLE, and/or administering relatively nominal monetary sanctions. Lately, however, frustrated judges throughout the country have upped the ante by not only assessing increasingly higher sanctions but also imposing case dismissals and suspensions or disciplinary referrals for the lawyers involved. As this article discusses, with their negligence exposed to the public eye and the harsh gaze of their clients, lawyers who misuse AI …

“Zoned Communities”: Signage And The Culture Of Property, Noah M. Kazis

Duke Law Journal Online

At the entrance to many small towns and counties can be found signs proclaiming "Zoning Enforced" or "Zoned Community, Permits Required." Such signage purports to be providing notice of local land use law. In the language used on these signs and in their visual cues, they appear to be official, instrumental communications, like a traffic or "no trespassing" sign. Moreover, when asked, that is what the local officials and residents who advocate for erecting such signs understand them to be.

This Essay, however, argues that such signage primarily functions in a subtler, cultural register. These signs' primary purpose is to …

From Premiums To Taxes: Financing Strategies For Single-Payer Health Care, David Gamage, James G. Kahn

Journal of Law and Health

Debates over financing single-payer health care reform proposals often discuss tax increases as costs without accounting for savings from the premiums and out-of-pocket payments that those taxes would replace. This Article evaluates the most important federal tax instruments that could be used to fund a national single-payer health care reform and then models three integrated approaches for financing such a reform that vary in their progressivity. Applying this to illustrative households, we find that each approach raise the revenues necessary to fund the reform while making the vast majority of low- and middle-income households better off, because their savings from …

Did College Football Betting Markets Correctly Assess Game-Shortening Rule Changes?, Kevin Krieger, Justin Davis

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

Established rules and norms are standard within competitive sports. However, changes are often made to create better functioning contests or improved viewer experiences. We examine the impact of one such change on sports wagering markets. To shorten college football games, starting in 2023, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) adopted rule changes that would, in part, enable the game clock to run more frequently. This decision might create games with fewer plays, and scoring in such games might also be lower. We document the impact of these changes and question whether the sports betting markets quickly ascertained the impacts of …

Penetrating The Veil: Why Congress Regulating The Sperm Donation Process Is Not Nuts!, Matthew Leung

San Diego Law Review

The Commerce Clause is one of the strongest and most expansive powers granted to Congress under the U.S. Constitution.  While its strength has fluctuated throughout history, its power will undoubtedly be important in tackling modern problems, including regulating the Wild West of sperm donation.  The rapid expansion of the commercial sperm banking industry and the rise in the need for sperm donors have exposed significant regulatory gaps in the United States.  Although these groups support family formation for individuals facing infertility, same-sex couples, and single parents, federal oversight is largely limited when screening donors.  As a result, critical issues, including …
