Challenging Race-Based Health Care Discrimination: A New Private Right Of Action, Aaron Pinkett Apr 2025

Challenging Race-Based Health Care Discrimination: A New Private Right Of Action, Aaron Pinkett

Northwestern University Law Review

The Hippocratic Oath calls on doctors to “do no harm.” Yet we know from extensive public health research that clinicians repeatedly cause harm to Black patients by dismissing their medical concerns, misdiagnosing them, and undertreating their pain. These practices of differential treatment for Black patients have led to steadily increasing racial disparities in health care outcomes throughout the United States. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits this type of disparate impact, but modern Supreme Court jurisprudence forecloses opportunities for affected parties to seek legal relief—despite the clearly established legislative intent of Title VI. However, another legal …


Preclusive Jurisdictional Dismissals, Kevin Song Apr 2025

Preclusive Jurisdictional Dismissals, Kevin Song

Northwestern University Law Review

Every litigant deserves their day in court. At the same time, litigants cannot endlessly go to court on the same matter. A complex body of preclusion law balances these fundamental tenets by examining when adjudication of a matter precludes subsequent relitigation. This body of law has evolved over time to preserve the day-in-court ideal in a way that is sensitive to the threats that relitigation present to judicial efficiency, fair adjudication, and repose. Modern preclusion law has settled on a pragmatic approach: where a court has issued a final judgment on the merits but erroneously assumed jurisdiction, relitigation may still …


Between Attraction And Evasion: Legal Factors Shaping Fdi In Indonesia And Neighboring Countries, Richard C. Adam Apr 2025

Between Attraction And Evasion: Legal Factors Shaping Fdi In Indonesia And Neighboring Countries, Richard C. Adam

Indonesia Law Review

This article examines the internal and external factors that influence foreign direct investment (FDI) in Indonesia, focusing specifically on the legal framework as a key determinant. Internal factors—also referred to as pull factors—include the quality of Indonesia’s Foreign Investment Law, legal certainty, bureaucratic efficiency, and the availability of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives. Meanwhile, push factors represent external elements, such as the attractiveness of neighboring countries’ investment laws, regional economic integration, and global investment trends that encourage capital relocation. Using a normative juridical approach and qualitative analysis of secondary data, this study compares Indonesia’s regulatory environment with that of several Southeast …


It’S Not So Simple: An Examination Of How The Internal Revenue Code Fails To Contemplate The Economic Realities Of Individuals With Disabilities And Their Families, Garret Hoff Apr 2025

It’S Not So Simple: An Examination Of How The Internal Revenue Code Fails To Contemplate The Economic Realities Of Individuals With Disabilities And Their Families, Garret Hoff

Duke Law & Technology Review

Families with disabled students face extra costs associated with providing their child with the same education that other students get for free. Even though these costs are spent with the explicit purpose of supporting their child’s disability-informed care and are not incurred but for their disability (“but-for costs”), some of these costs are not deductible and others are subject to unnecessary ambiguity when it comes to their deductibility. Families with disabled students are forced to reckon with arbitrary distinctions if they want to receive any favorable tax treatment on but-for costs. This is because the relevant provision in the Internal …

The Mediation Dance Of Choreography Copyright, Kassandra Sopko Apr 2025

The Mediation Dance Of Choreography Copyright, Kassandra Sopko

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

Despite its societal presence and pervasive benefits for both performers and observers, dance remains a low-paying field with limited career longevity. While dance choreography copyright protection is an option for artists to monetize their work long-term, there are significant barriers due to legal complexities, financial burdens, and lack of awareness regarding copyright protections. The limitations of the copyright landscape burden choreographers who do seek to take advantage of their intellectual property rights, and many of the current suggested solutions for protecting choreography either prove inadequate or involve negative consequences. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), particularly mediation with BATNA/WATNA incentives, presents a …


Blazing A Trail To Dispute Resolution: The Advantages Of Mediating Insurance And Mass Tort Claims Following Wildfires In California, Kate Hanes Apr 2025

Blazing A Trail To Dispute Resolution: The Advantages Of Mediating Insurance And Mass Tort Claims Following Wildfires In California, Kate Hanes

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

Year after year, wildfires in California decimate property, the environment, and local communities, precipitating costly and protracted litigation. This Comment explores the advantages of mediating, rather than litigating, insurance and mass tort claims in the aftermath of these devastating natural disasters. In particular, this Comment contends that mediation benefits all parties—wildfire victims, their insurers, and alleged tortfeasors—by quickly and inexpensively resolving claims, preserving the common pool of funds to prevent insurer insolvency, and maintaining flexibility, predictability, and confidentiality. Drawing on examples of other successful disaster mediations, such as the Agent Orange case and those following Hurricanes Andrew and Katrina, this …


Heirs' Property Disputes: Evaluating Adr Forums To Change The Status Quo, Karina Grobman Apr 2025

Heirs' Property Disputes: Evaluating Adr Forums To Change The Status Quo, Karina Grobman

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

Heirs’ property—a form of communal ownership passed down through generations—is a symbol of family legacy in the South. Disputes between families and developers create a disparate loss of land among Black families in the South, often through court-ordered partition actions. Although some states adopted the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act (UPHPA) to reform partition sales, most courts still force sales of the entire property rather than more equitable divisions. This Comment explores various alternative dispute resolution (ADR) forums as a more just and efficient path to resolve heirs’ property disputes. Although the multi-party nature of heirs’ property disputes makes …

This Comment delves into the components of the fiasco, breaking down the dispute between “Swifties” and the mega-company, discussing the involved parties and their pertinent interests, the existing rights each party can utilize to achieve those interests, power differences at play, and relevant barriers to a potential solution. In addition, this …

Applying Insights From The Enneagram Model Of Human Psychology To Enhance Neutrality And Success In Mediation, Inely Cassía Cesna

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

The ancient wisdom of the Enneagram illuminates the complexities of conflict, offering invaluable insights for mediators and individuals alike. Through various case studies and recommendations on practical applications, this Article illustrates how mediators can leverage Enneagram-based strategies to de-escalate conflict and facilitate constructive dialogues. By understanding the nine Enneagram Points, mediators can foster self-awareness, empathy, and communication among the disputing parties. Meanwhile, the Enneagram encourages mediators to self-reflect and address their own underlying emotions during the various mediation stages. Rather than a strict typological tool, the Enneagram’s inner lines, Wings, and Triadic Approaches allow mediators to easily recognize diverse responses …

Can robots be granted "legal personhood" to hold them accountable for their actions?
