A Nation And Culture's Fight For Survival: How The Existing Indian Family Exception Renders Icwa Inapplicable, Keely Kleven Aug 2021

A Nation And Culture's Fight For Survival: How The Existing Indian Family Exception Renders Icwa Inapplicable, Keely Kleven

Nebraska Law Bulletin (Selected Issues)

The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) was enacted to curtail the removal of Indian children from their tribes and families by allowing tribes to have jurisdiction over custody proceedings involving Indian children; it ensured the security of tribes by allowing them to pass Indian culture down from one generation to the next. The chances of Indian survival, as noted by Calvin Isaac, are significantly reduced when Indian children are raised in non-Indian homes or denied exposure to their heritage. Although some states have complied with the spirit of the ICWA, other states have created the existing Indian family (EIF) exception …


School Choice In Tennessee: A Violation Of The State Constitutional Right To A Substantially Equal Education, Emma Knapp Aug 2021

School Choice In Tennessee: A Violation Of The State Constitutional Right To A Substantially Equal Education, Emma Knapp

Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive

Most states have experimented with various versions of school choice over the past several years. While a federal right to education is not recognized, all fifty state constitutions provide some variation of an education clause, guaranteeing a state constitutional right to education. In Tennessee, satisfaction of the state constitutional right to education requires substantially equal educational opportunities for all students across the state. Despite this constitutional mandate, students in public schools across the state of Tennessee experience vast disparities in educational opportunities. Litigation is currently pending before the Tennessee Supreme Court regarding the constitutionality of the Tennessee Education Savings Account …


Implementing Ecosystem-Based Management, Brian Gray, Jennifer Harder, Karrigan Bork Aug 2021

Implementing Ecosystem-Based Management, Brian Gray, Jennifer Harder, Karrigan Bork

Duke Environmental Law & Policy Forum

Most freshwater ecosystems in the United States are in a state of collapse. Existing management efforts take a piecemeal approach, addressing individual stressors, managing the systems for individual benefits, and protecting individual species. These disjointed efforts are doomed to fail. Both the legal literature and the scientific literature are rich with articles extolling the advantages of ecosystem-based management; that is, simultaneous management of water, land, and organisms to achieve a desired ecosystem condition benefiting both native biodiversity and human well-being. This approach has succeeded in other aquatic systems, particularly marine ecosystems, but the ecosystem-based management approach has struggled for adoption …


Note: Modernizing Conservationism: Renewable Energy's Species-Preserving Effect And The Endangered Species Act, Chase Hamilton Aug 2021

Note: Modernizing Conservationism: Renewable Energy's Species-Preserving Effect And The Endangered Species Act, Chase Hamilton

Duke Environmental Law & Policy Forum

Environmental policymakers face a dilemma, for the construction and operation of renewable energy facilities mitigates ecologically destructive climate change in the long term but often adversely affects species in the short term. This paper provides empirical, legal, and normative resources for analyzing what I call "species clash." In most cases, renewable energy is much more helpful than harmful when it comes to preventing species extinctions, but the Endangered Species Act paradoxically poses a barrier to such species-preserving projects. Framing the benefits of renewable energy in terms of species conservation may not only help secure speedy and cost-efficient compliance with the …


Tropical Deforestation As An International Externality: The Property Right Issue, Endah Murniningtyas Aug 2021

Tropical Deforestation As An International Externality: The Property Right Issue, Endah Murniningtyas

Memerangi Kejahatan Kehutanan Dan Mendorong Prinsip Kehati-Hatian Perbankan Untuk Mewujudkan Pengelolaan Hutan Yang Berkelanjutan Pendekatan Anti Pencucian Uang, Bambang Setiono, Yunus Husein

Indonesian Journal of International Law

With the involvement of support from the illegal logging funders, which usually called cukong, illegal logging industry and government employees, the illegal logging has become a complex problem, not only in Indonesia, but also for the international forest community. The forestry law enforcement approach which now is running failed to capture the mastermind of illegal logging. But, the money laundering law enforcement approach which with …

Confronting Space Debris Through The Regime Evolution Approach, Gershon Hasin Aug 2021

Confronting Space Debris Through The Regime Evolution Approach, Gershon Hasin

International Law Studies

This article examines the complex policy problem of space debris and elaborates a proposal for a bottom-up cooperative regime for its mitigation. While debris proliferation generates costs and threatens the safety of personnel and equipment, this policy problem is compounded by the realization that debris constitutes a by-product of desirable space activities which facilitate national progress and domestic increases in values. It is further complicated by increased private participation, conflicting interests of participants, and a global order susceptible to outlier behavior.

Scholars attempting to tackle this policy problem have failed to appreciate the complex legislative process through which international rules …


Toward Rationality In Oil And Gas Leasing: Building The Toolkit For Programmatic Reforms, Rachel Rothschild, Max Sarinsky Aug 2021

Toward Rationality In Oil And Gas Leasing: Building The Toolkit For Programmatic Reforms, Rachel Rothschild, Max Sarinsky

Other Publications

For decades, the federal government has inadequately considered the environmental harms of oil and gas extraction in its management of public lands and waters. As a result, fossil-fuel developers have been handed vast swaths of land at bargain prices, causing dangerous levels of greenhouse gas pollution that exacerbates climate change while depriving the public of more beneficial uses of the land.

That is all likely to change soon. A week into his term, President Biden called for a comprehensive review of the oil and gas program.1 That review is now underway and is likely to result in substantial programmatic reforms …


Vecinos Para El Bienestar De La Comunidad Costera V. Ferc, Malcolm M. Gilbert Aug 2021

Vecinos Para El Bienestar De La Comunidad Costera V. Ferc, Malcolm M. Gilbert

Public Land & Resources Law Review

The D.C. Circuit Court remanded three Brownsville, TX LNG approval orders to FERC for failing to adequately explain conclusions around environmental justice and climate concerns. The Court ordered FERC to reevaluate whether the projects are in the public interest. The LNG terminals and pipeline will disproportionately impact low-income, minority communities, and substantial greenhouse gas emissions from production and export will contribute to anthropogenic climate change. This case note explores the role that environmental justice and climate change play in federal agency decision-making processes, analyzes the legal framework for the Court's decision, and discusses how the outcome of this litigation could …

Expanding Accountability: Using The Negligent Infliction Of Emotional Distress Claim To Compensate Black American Families Who Remained Unheard In Medical Crisis, Nia Johnson Aug 2021

Expanding Accountability: Using The Negligent Infliction Of Emotional Distress Claim To Compensate Black American Families Who Remained Unheard In Medical Crisis, Nia Johnson

UC Law Journal

Black Americans have constantly been victims of health disparities and unequal treatment in healthcare facilities. This is not new. However, more attention has been paid to accounts from Black Americans alleging that their providers ignored them or their families in crisis, leading to grave consequences. Though we do have a medical malpractice system that is equipped to remedy physical manifestations of medical negligence, there has been minimal dialogue about how to hold provider accountable for more abstract medical grievances like ignoring Black patients. This Article argues that the negligent infliction of emotional distress claim is an appropriate forum to address …


Twists & Swirls: Caregiving & Sexualization—Femininity Construct In Gendered Migration From Nigeria To Italy, Christiana Essie Sagay Aug 2021

Twists & Swirls: Caregiving & Sexualization—Femininity Construct In Gendered Migration From Nigeria To Italy, Christiana Essie Sagay

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

With globalization, interconnectivity, and the possibilities of increased income through wage differentials comes the desirability to migrate for labour. Contrary to early migration theories, women are increasingly migrating for labour independent of male breadwinners. Therefore, "temporary and permanent movements are globalizing, accelerating, diversifying and feminizing." The influence of gender on migration has become so convoluted that culturally and socially constructed roles of masculinity and femininity motivate and inspire migration trends among many women migrating from Nigeria to Italy, creating a sort of gendered social agency. This piece offers an analysis of how social contexts and gendered expectations shape the desires …


Minding Accidents, Teneille R. Brown Aug 2021

Minding Accidents, Teneille R. Brown

Utah Law Faculty Scholarship

Tort doctrine states that breach is all about conduct. Unlike in the criminal law, where jurors must engage in an amateur form of mindreading to evaluate mens rea, jurors are told that they can assess civil negligence by looking only at how the defendant behaved. But this is false. Foreseeability is at the heart of negligence—appearing as the primary tests for duty, breach, and proximate cause. And yet, we cannot ask whether a defendant should have foreseen a risk without interrogating what he subjectively knew, remembered, perceived, or realized at the time. In fact, the focus on actions in negligence …


In Re: Huping Hu: Quantum Entanglement, Medical Innovation, And Patentability On The Scientific “Fringe”., Christopher M. Holman Aug 2021

In Re: Huping Hu: Quantum Entanglement, Medical Innovation, And Patentability On The Scientific “Fringe”., Christopher M. Holman

Faculty Works

In a recently issued non-precedential decision, In re Huping Hu, the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTO’s rejection of patent claims based on the incredible nature, and presumed inoperability, of the claimed invention. The would-be inventors, a husband-and-wife team both having have PhDs from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, claim to have discovered how to harness “quantum entanglement” to achieve “non-local” manipulation of water, and even more fantastically, manipulation of a human subject that has ingested the water. For example, they assert that they can quantum entangle a sample of water, divide the water into two portions, and have a …


"I Wish There Was A Treaty We Could Sign": An Inquiry Into The Making Of The Global Pact For The Environment, Marie-Catherine Petersmann Aug 2021

"I Wish There Was A Treaty We Could Sign": An Inquiry Into The Making Of The Global Pact For The Environment, Marie-Catherine Petersmann

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

This article provides ethnographic insights into the making of the latest UN-backed instrument for transnational environmental law and governance: the Global Pact for the Environment (GPE). It narrates the rise and fall of a contemporary policy project designed to unify and strengthen international environmental law. The story starts in 2015 on the premises of a Parisian legal think tank and ends in May 2019 at the headquarters of the United Nations Environment Programme in Nairobi, where states ultimately decided not to adopt the GPE as a legally binding instrument but opted to prepare apolitical declaration to be presented in 2022 …


Reimagining Postmortem Conception, Kristine Knaplund Aug 2021

Reimagining Postmortem Conception, Kristine Knaplund

Georgia State University Law Review

Hundreds, likely thousands, of babies have been born years after a parent has died. Thousands more people have cryopreserved their sperm, ova, and embryos, or have requested that a loved one’s gametes be retrieved after death to produce still more such children. Twenty-three states have enacted statutes detailing how these postmortem conception children can inherit from their predeceased parents.

And yet, few of these children will be able to inherit. The statutes create a bewildering array of standards, with over a dozen definitions of consent, variations in signature and witnessing requirements, and hurdles imposed in one state but not another. …


Intellectual Property Through A Non-Western Lens: Patents In Islamic Law, Tabrez Y. Ebrahim Aug 2021

Intellectual Property Through A Non-Western Lens: Patents In Islamic Law, Tabrez Y. Ebrahim

Georgia State University Law Review

The intersection of secular, Western intellectual property law and Islamic law is undertheorized in legal scholarship. Yet the nascent and developing non-Western law of one form of intellectual property—patents—in Islamic legal systems is profoundly important for transformational innovation and economic development initiatives of Muslim-majority countries that comprise nearly one-fifth of the world’s population.

Recent scholarship highlights the tensions of intellectual property in Islamic law because religious considerations in an Islamic society do not fully align with Western notions of patents. As Islamic legal systems have begun to embrace patents in recent decades, theories of patents have presented conceptual and theological …


Zero Sympathy: Unaccompanied Minors' Rights In The Us Immigration System, Mahrukh Ali Aug 2021

Zero Sympathy: Unaccompanied Minors' Rights In The Us Immigration System, Mahrukh Ali

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

This note analyzes the US Government's approach to unaccompanied minors and the webs they must navigate when they are apprehended by the US immigration system. More importantly, this note calls for reformative approaches to children's rights through acknowledging the differences between adults and children while simultaneously taking their vulnerability and autonomy into account. After explaining the migrant crisis along with its implications and examining the underlying reasons fostering this movement, this note discusses the legal options available for unaccompanied minors. It draws on the shortcomings of the immigration system as the system labels unaccompanied minors as dependent children, but also …


Secrets, Lies, And Lessons From The Theranos Scandal, Lauren Rogal Aug 2021

Secrets, Lies, And Lessons From The Theranos Scandal, Lauren Rogal

UC Law Journal

Theranos, Inc., the unicorn startup blood-testing corporation, was ultimately laid low by a former employee whistleblower. The experience of that whistleblower during and after her employment illuminates detrimental secrecy practices within the startup sector, as well as legal and practical barriers to corporate accountability. Theranos sought to avoid exposure by cultivating an environment of secrecy and intimidation, and by aggressively extracting and enforcing nondisclosure agreements. The legal landscape for whistleblowers facilitated this strategy: while whistleblowing employees enjoyed certain protections under anti-retaliation statutes, trade secrets statutes, and common law contract principles, these protections were neither readily accessible nor certain. This Article …


Why Familial Searches Of Civilian Dna Databases Can And Should Survive Carpenter, Jasper Ford-Monroe Aug 2021

Why Familial Searches Of Civilian Dna Databases Can And Should Survive Carpenter, Jasper Ford-Monroe

UC Law Journal

Over the past few years, a powerful new forensic technique has emerged. By uploading DNA from a crime scene to a civilian DNA database, such as GEDmatch, investigators can discover the genetic relatives of the perpetrator and thereby track down the perpetrator himself. This procedure is known as forensic genetic genealogy searching (FGGS), and in under three years it has cracked numerous decades-old cases once thought to be unsolvable.

Concerned about genetic privacy and discrimination, most legal commentators have thus far confronted FGGS with raised hackles. They either argue FGGS is a Fourth Amendment search under Carpenter, or that it …


Calling The Shots: Balancing Parental And Child Rights In The Age Of Anti-Vax, Mahrukh Badar Aug 2021

Calling The Shots: Balancing Parental And Child Rights In The Age Of Anti-Vax, Mahrukh Badar

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

Vaccinations have become a contentious issue in recent times. Although there has always been opposition to vaccines, the internet has made it possible for pseudoscience and false information to spread like never before. This has led to alarming declines in vaccine confidence and adherence rates globally. High-income countries have seen the sharpest drop in vaccine confidence rates. Factors such as the complacency effect and religious objections likely explain this decline. Most countries have attempted to raise vaccine confidence levels by enacting laws that make vaccinations for children compulsory, with strict penalties for parents who refuse to comply. In addition to …

I Just Took A Dna Test—Turns Out, I'M 100% Breaching My Donor Anonymity Contract: Direct-To-Consumer Dna Testing And Parental Medical-Decision-Making, Morgan C. York

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

Part I of this note provides a brief history of assisted reproductive technology and its increased use throughout the world, illustrating the growing number of donor-conceived children and the related importance of knowing genetic information. Part I also surveys regulations concerning donor anonymity in the United States and the United Kingdom to illustrate different jurisdictions' approaches to the regulation of donor anonymity. This note uses the United Kingdom as a model of countries that have prohibited sperm donor anonymity. Part II of this note discusses direct-to-consumer DNA testing, specifically 23andMe's products. This note selects 23andMe as the direct-to-consumer company for …


Disparities In Health Care: The Pandemic’S Lessons For Health Lawyers, Danielle Pelfrey Duryea, Nicole Huberfeld, Ruqaiijah Yearby Aug 2021

Disparities In Health Care: The Pandemic’S Lessons For Health Lawyers, Danielle Pelfrey Duryea, Nicole Huberfeld, Ruqaiijah Yearby

Faculty Scholarship

Population-level disparities in health and health care came to the forefront of U.S. public consciousness in 2020. As the racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic stratification of COVID-19 infection and death rates emerged with chilling clarity, the Black Lives Matter protests of the summer focused millions of Americans on the complex, structural nature of inequity and its long-lasting effects.

Access to quality health care is a “social determinant of health,” meaning that it is one of the “non-medical factors that influence health outcomes . . . the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set …

An Agenda For Research And Action Toward Diverse And Just Futures For Life On Earth, Carina Wyborn, J. Montana, N. Kalas, S. Clement, F. Davila, N. Knowles, E. Louder, M. Balan, J. Chambers, L. Christel, T. Forsyth, G. Henderson, S. Izquierdo Tort, Michelle Mei Ling Lim, Et Al

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Decades of research and policy interventions on biodiversity have insufficiently addressed the dual issues of biodiversity degradation and social justice. New approaches are therefore needed. We devised a research and action agenda that calls for a collective task of revisiting biodiversity toward the goal of sustaining diverse and just futures for life on Earth. Revisiting biodiversity involves critically reflecting on past and present research, policy, and practice concerning biodiversity to inspire creative thinking about the future. The agenda was developed through a 2-year dialogue process that involved close to 300 experts from diverse disciplines and locations. This process was informed …


Associations Between Exposure To Air Pollution After A Dust Event And Hospitalizations., Estrella De Jesus Herrera-Molina Aug 2021

Associations Between Exposure To Air Pollution After A Dust Event And Hospitalizations., Estrella De Jesus Herrera-Molina

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

The Southwestern region has been identified as one of the most persistent dust producing regions of North America. Exposure to inhalable particulate matter (PM10) originating from desertic landscape during dust events/dust exposures (DEs) can reach hazardous levels. El Paso, Texas’s ambient air has reached hazardous levels of PM10 above 4000 μg/m3 with near zero visibility due to these natural events. There are very few prior studies in the southwestern United States pertaining to the associations between exposure to atmospheric aerosol after DEs and hospitalizations, nor are there many epidemiological studies globally in dusty environments where most of the atmospheric aerosol …
