Growing Number Of Leadership Programs And Courses Supports Professional Identity Formation, Teague, Leah Mar 2022

Growing Number Of Leadership Programs And Courses Supports Professional Identity Formation, Teague, Leah

Santa Clara Law Review

Through service and leadership, lawyers influence people and impact organizations and communities. Law students need to be aware of their opportunity for influence as part of their professional identity and they need to be prepared for the obligations of service that accompany the privilege of acquiring a law degree. The number of law schools with leadership development courses and programs has grown rapidly over the last ten years to: encourage law students to embrace their obligation to serve clients and society; better equip law students for positions of leadership and influence (including building relationships with clients); and inspire them to …


Infusing Leadership Competencies Into 1l Professional Identity Formation, Short, Aric K. Mar 2022

Infusing Leadership Competencies Into 1l Professional Identity Formation, Short, Aric K.

Santa Clara Law Review

Law schools across the country are beginning to address the growing need to incorporate leadership training into their curricula; however, very few explicitly cover leadership in the 1L year. This article argues for the value of providing leadership training to 1Ls as part of a required course on professional identity formation. Because foundational leadership concepts overlap in meaningful ways with core lawyering competencies, such integration is both practical and efficient. Beginning leadership in the 1L year allows law schools to build on that foundational material in later clinics, externships, upper-level classes, and other experiences, creating deeper leadership skills in their …

Immigration E-Carceration: A Faustian Bargain, Mary Holper Mar 2022

Immigration E-Carceration: A Faustian Bargain, Mary Holper

San Diego Law Review

A new wave of federal court litigation has required immigration judges to consider alternatives to immigration detention in bond hearings. Although alternatives to detention can take many forms, the most common is electronic monitoring. Immigration detainees and their advocates now find themselves asking to trade the physical walls of jail for virtual walls, begging for a different type of punishment and control. Electronic monitoring imposes pain, shame, arbitrary rules, and limitation of freedom on persons, causing many to experience it as punitive. Its use also facilitates replacing a regime of over-detention with one of over-supervision and becomes the means by …


Reforming State Electoral College Laws To Depolarize American Politics, M. Akram Faizer Mar 2022

Reforming State Electoral College Laws To Depolarize American Politics, M. Akram Faizer

Cleveland State Law Review

Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee involved the Supreme Court gutting the remaining vestiges of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), such that jurisdictions will have free rein to impose partisan burdens on franchise rights that have a disproportionate negative effect on racial minority voters who, based on racial political polarization, prefer Democratic Party candidates over their Republican opponents. Brnovich follows the highly divisive 2020 presidential election that Joe Biden won against former President Trump based on very narrow margins in highly contested swing states, notwithstanding a nationwide popular margin of more than 8 million votes. This blurring of the lines between …


The Digital Transformation Of Law: Are We Prepared For Artificially Intelligent Legal Practice?, Larry Bridgesmith, Dr. Adel Elmessiry Mar 2022

The Digital Transformation Of Law: Are We Prepared For Artificially Intelligent Legal Practice?, Larry Bridgesmith, Dr. Adel Elmessiry

Akron Law Review

We live in an instant access and on-demand world of information sharing. The global COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the necessity of remote working and team collaboration. Work teams are exploring and utilizing the remote work platforms required to serve in place of stand-ups common in the agile workplace. Online tools are needed to provide visibility to the status of projects and the accountability necessary to ensure that tasks are completed on time and on budget. Digital transformation of organizational data is now the target of AI projects to provide enterprise transparency and predictive insights into the process of work. In …


Digital Curb Cuts: Towards An Inclusive Open Forms Ecosystem, Quinten Steenhuis, David Colarusso Mar 2022

Digital Curb Cuts: Towards An Inclusive Open Forms Ecosystem, Quinten Steenhuis, David Colarusso

Akron Law Review

In this paper, we focus on digital curb cuts created during the pandemic: improvements designed to increase accessibility that benefit people beyond the population that they are intended to help. As much as 86% of civil legal needs are unmet, according to a 2017 study by the Legal Services Corporation. Courts and third parties designed many innovations to meet the emergency needs of the pandemic: we argue that these innovations should be extended and enhanced to address this ongoing access to justice crisis. Specifically, we use the Suffolk University Law School's Document Assembly Line as a case study. The Document …


Tele-Lawyering And The Virtual Learning Experience: Finding The Silver Lining For Remote Hybrid Externships & Law Clinics After The Pandemic, Lucy Johnston-Walsh, Alison Lintal Mar 2022

Tele-Lawyering And The Virtual Learning Experience: Finding The Silver Lining For Remote Hybrid Externships & Law Clinics After The Pandemic, Lucy Johnston-Walsh, Alison Lintal

Akron Law Review

The COVID-19 pandemic has rocked the world in innumerable ways. This article argues that the COVID-19 pandemic has a silver lining for law students in experiential learning programs. The pandemic has forced law schools across the country to fully utilize remote learning technology. The pandemic similarly forced courts to accept virtual tools in an environment that had previously relied primarily on in-person appearances. The lessons that law faculty and judges have learned from the pandemic will be permanent and may change the methods of operation going forward. Law schools that embrace the lessons they learned can help their law students …


Expanding Immigrant Justice By Training Professionals, Michele R. Pistone Mar 2022

Expanding Immigrant Justice By Training Professionals, Michele R. Pistone

Faculty Publications

As a law professor at Villanova University, I headed a clinic that helps hundreds of asylum seekers gain protection in the United States. On good days, I would remember the Talmudic saying, “whoever saves one life saves the world entire,” and take great pride in what my students and I were able to accomplish. On bad days, however, the fruits of our work could seem but a drop in the bucket, for every visit to immigration court demonstrated anew that our clients were the exception. Most immigrants face the immigration system without legal representation of any sort. This unfortunate and …

Developing Brunei Darussalam As An Asean Hub For International Islamic Finance Dispute Resolution: Opportunity Or Over-Ambition?, Nobumichi Teramura Mar 2022

Developing Brunei Darussalam As An Asean Hub For International Islamic Finance Dispute Resolution: Opportunity Or Over-Ambition?, Nobumichi Teramura

Centre for Commercial Law in Asia

International dispute resolution is only at an early stage of development in Brunei. Although the government established the Brunei Darussalam Arbitration Centre (BDAC) in 2014 to provide domestic and international users with arbitration and mediation services, the institution has yet to attract a significant caseload. This is in contrast with neighbouring countries such as Singapore (a regional hub for international dispute resolution) and Malaysia (an active and rising centre of dispute settlement). Their flagship arbitration institutions, the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) and the Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC) (formerly known as the Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration), handle …

Ashamed, Judged, And Unsafe: A Qualitative Study Of Tenant Justice Perceptions To Inform The Redesign Of Housing Court, Daniel W. Bernal Mar 2022

Ashamed, Judged, And Unsafe: A Qualitative Study Of Tenant Justice Perceptions To Inform The Redesign Of Housing Court, Daniel W. Bernal

New Mexico Law Review

Scholars have long suspected that tenants were skeptical of housing court, but prior studies—relying principally on surveys— have not borne that out. This qualitative empirical study draws from in-depth interviews and finds, in contrast to these previous studies, that tenants find the housing court process anything but fair, and describe a startling disconnect between their reasons for court attendance and their experiences of the hearings. Such negative justice perceptions may affect participation in housing court, compliance with judgments, and overall confidence in the judicial process. This Article suggests several legal and policy reforms to better align the housing court experience …


Crossing Boundaries: Exploring Multi-Disciplinary Models For Legal Problem Resolution, Lisa Moore Mar 2022

Crossing Boundaries: Exploring Multi-Disciplinary Models For Legal Problem Resolution, Lisa Moore

Canadian Forum on Civil Justice

Legal problems rarely occur in a vacuum. They are often borne from other, non-legal problems or else give rise to non-legal problems and adverse circumstances. Legal research and scholarship has long recognized the broader non-legal contexts of legal problems as important for understanding legal problem experiences and individual approaches to problem resolution. In fact, decades of empirical research into the prevalence of civil legal problems has been conceptualized on the notion that, to understand the extent of legal problems in society, it is important to consider these problems as the people experiencing them might view them—through their varied financial, family, …

The Communities Being Served Are The Resources That Are Needed: Innovations In Community-Based Justice In Ontario, An Anthology Of Canadian Research, Ab Currie

Canadian Forum on Civil Justice

THIS VOLUME deals with one aspect of community-based justice in which community legal clinics take the lead in building collaborative partnerships with community groups to bring greater access to justice to people. This is not the only model of community-based justice. There are large numbers of helping organizations in communities, some staffed by professional service providers and some by capable volunteers, assisting people to resolve problems involving fairness and social justice in everyday life. There may be other ways in which community organizations assisting people may receive help from legal professionals in the form of direct advice or public legal …

Pennsylvania Lawyers Behaving Badly: Is 8.4(G) A Solution?, Ellen Brotman, Amy Coco Mar 2022

Pennsylvania Lawyers Behaving Badly: Is 8.4(G) A Solution?, Ellen Brotman, Amy Coco

Hofstra Law Review

The article focuses on American Bar Association (ABA) adopted Model Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4(g), broadening the definition of attorney misconduct. It mentions affirmative rules or comments to Rule 8.4(d)2 that already reflected these values, few states defined attorney misconduct to include discrimination and sexual harassment. It also mentions Greenberg v. Haggerty, a federal court declared that the rule violated the First Amendment.
