Protecting Native Women From Violence: Fostering State-Tribal Relations And The Shortcomings Of The Violence Against Women Act Of 2013, Dayna Olson

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Native American women face violence at astronomically high rates compared to any other ethnic group in the United States. These staggering statistics are laregly the result of conflicting criminal jurisdiction between tribal, state, and federal prosecutors. As a result, crimes of intimate partner violence that take place on tribal reservations often go unpunished, leaving these women with little to no recourse. In 2013, President Obama signed the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. This landmark legislation created the Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction, which gave Native American tribes the authority to prosecute a narrow set of non-tribal members for …

Access To Justice And Routine Legal Services: New Technologies Meet Bar Regulators, Benjamin H. Barton, Deborah L. Rhode

UC Law Journal

This Article explores controversies over bar regulation of new online technologies that help address the routine legal needs of low- and middle-income consumers. It is critical that lawyer regulators resist the temptation to restrict organizations that respond to the nation’s huge unmet needs of individuals of limited means. After briefly reviewing the rise of technology in this space, this Article discusses efforts to rein in three of the largest U.S. providers of consumer-oriented legal services, LegalZoom, Rocket Lawyer, and Avvo Legal Services. Analysis then focuses on the lawsuits and regulatory restrictions faced by Avvo, and the ultimate demise of Avvo …

Cryptocurrency And The § 1031 Like Kind Exchange, Eli Cole

UC Law Science and Technology Journal

Cryptocurrency has been called “a fraud” by some and “the next internet” by others. However, since the first Bitcoin was mined in 2009, the growth of the cryptocurrency market capitalization has been exponential—surpassing $800 billion at the beginning of 2018. Not surprisingly, the regulations governing these digital pieces of property have lagged the economic growth. In this Article, I attempt to answer the question: should 26 U.S.C. § 1031 apply to an exchange between cryptocurrencies?

This Article argues that the Internal Revenue Service’s decision to classify cryptocurrency as property, combined with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s hesitancy to classify all …

Ethical Issues In Robo-Lawyering: The Need For Guidance On Developing And Using Artificial Intelligence In The Practice Of Law, Drew Simshaw

UC Law Journal

As in many other industries, artificial intelligence (“AI”) is poised to drastically transform the legal services landscape. “Bots,” automated expert systems, and predictive analytics are already changing the way consumers seek, and lawyers provide, legal services. Among other impacts, AI has the potential to increase access to justice in the self-help, individual, and corporate law firm markets by lowering costs and expanding services to untapped markets. A prominent question in early literature on AI in law is whether these services constitute the unauthorized practice of law. Threshold questions of whether and by whom such services should be regulated are important, …

Consultants, The Environment, And The Law, Dave Owen

Faculty Scholarship

Conventional wisdom assumes that private-sector businesses will oppose, undermine, or distort government regulation. That assumption also underpins many areas of theoretical inquiry; theorists commonly assume that effective public-law regimes must be protected from the self-interested machinations of businesses, or that such protection is such a lost cause that most public regulation is doomed to fail. This Article investigates a different set of relationships between businesses and regulation. It does so by using the environmental consulting industry, which helps businesses and governments comply with environmental regulations, as a case study. An empirical inquiry into two subfields of the industry reveals that …

Globalization Of Business Lawyering In Japan, Yoshimichi Makiyama

UC Law SF International Law Review

The development of a legal system under globalization has impacted the legal practice of cross-border transactions. Businesses are confronted with several legal systems in foreign jurisdictions, as well as, foreign languages. On the other hand, the role of the legal system of each country becomes relatively diminished in the area of cross border transactions. The legal risk may materialize as uncertain knowledge and recognition of foreign legal systems and international law. From this perspective, it is more important to understand the roles of lawyers who support solving legal issues in transnational business. Cross-border transactions involve several different jurisdictions where the …

Globalization Of Japanese Lawyers: Achievements,Challenges, And Expectations Of American Law Schools, Akira Kawamura

UC Law SF International Law Review

Globalization of the legal profession is ever relevant, as the ideology of globalism is challenged in many places around the world today. The most controversial backlash against globalization was the U.S. presidential election, held only a few weeks before the UC Hastings College of the Law symposium on the globalization of the legal profession. In the last twenty years, the legal service industry has transformed dramatically and has grown exponentially as part of the global economy, especially with the growth of global financial industries. Should globalization be criticized, the global legal profession may undergo criticism as well. As Dr. Stiglitz …

Role Of Bar Associations In The Globalization Of Japaneselawyers, Tatsu Katayama

UC Law SF International Law Review

Japanese lawyers have faced the globalization of legal markets for decades. The first wave of globalization was characterized by inbound work. It came in 1987, when Japan opened its legal markets to foreign lawyers. Since then, foreign law firms have established offices in Japan and practiced together with Japanese lawyers on international legal matters. The second wave of globalization was characterized by outbound work. Japanese lawyers practicing outside of Japan have increased significantly in the past several years. My presentation briefly describes activities of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations (“JFBA”) in the context of the globalization of Japanese lawyers.
