Rethinking How The United States And Mexico Share The Colorado River, Eric Kuhn, Anne Castle, Carlos De La Parra, John Fleck, Jack Schmidt, Kathryn Sorensen, Katherine Tara

The Traveling Wilburys of the Colorado River

Since 1945, the United States and Mexico have managed common interests on their two largest shared rivers systems, the Colorado and the Rio Bravo/Rio Grande, under the terms of the 1944 international treaty that was designed from the beginning with tools to adapt to changing hydrologic and societal conditions. A recent emergency agreement on the Rio Bravo/Rio Grande illustrates what is possible, and with old river management rules on the Colorado both within the United States and between the United States and Mexico about to expire, we are at a moment of opportunity for meaningful change. The core problem on …

The False Promise Of Progressive Originalism, Michael Smith

New Mexico Law Review

As the conservative-dominated Supreme Court continues to accrue its power, commentators on both the political right and left suggest that those pursuing progressive policy goals would do well to turn to originalist methodology. Many of the Justices on the Court purport to be originalists, and progressive originalist arguments are more likely to appeal to this otherwise tough crowd. Haven’t progressives heard that we’re all originalists now? I argue that originalism’s appeal to progressives is largely illusory. Originalism is unlikely to make a difference before a Court controlled by a supermajority of conservative Justices who exercise discretion over the interpretive methodology …

Underruling Voting Rights, Michael Pitts

New Mexico Law Review

An “underrule” occurs when the Supreme Court renders a decision diametrically opposed to a prior case without explicitly overruling the prior case. With the decision in Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference NAACP in 2024, the Court has now issued two underrules during the development of its racial gerrymandering jurisprudence. These underrules, particularly in a politically sensitive area such as racial gerrymandering, undermine confidence in the judiciary. But underrules are nothing new to doctrinal development in the realm of race and redistricting. The Court also issued two underrules as it developed vote dilution jurisprudence during the mid-1970s to the early …

Bad Men In The Bordertown: Confronting Police Violence Against Native Americans With The Bad Men Treaty Clauses, Taylor Graham

New Mexico Law Review

In nine treaties signed by Tribal Nations and the United States between 1867 and 1868, the United States promised redress to Native Americans for wrongs committed against them by “bad men among the whites.” Today, Native Americans are more likely to be killed by police than any other group, with much of this violence concentrated near the borders of Tribal Nations. Although claims brought under the “bad men” treaty clauses offer an avenue for combatting this epidemic of violence, courts have begun interpreting the clauses to apply only when “wrongs” occur within Tribal boundaries. This article argues that the territoriality …

Weakening The Reasonable Efforts Requirement In New Mexico Termination Of Parental Rights Cases, Monika Myers

New Mexico Law Review

Parents’ right to control the upbringing of their own children is long-established in the United States. However, in the case of child abuse, neglect, or abandonment, a state can terminate parental rights, permanently severing the legal relationship between a parent and a child. In New Mexico, to terminate parental rights for abuse or neglect the State must prove three elements by clear and convincing evidence: (1) the child is abused or neglected; (2) the conditions that brought the child into care are unlikely to change in the foreseeable future and (3) this is the case despite reasonable efforts by the …

The Barrier And The Burden: How Flawed Interpretations Of The New Mexico Human Rights Act Have Relegated Disability To Second-Class Status, Ellen Caroline Sherman Rabin

New Mexico Law Review

Plaintiffs alleging disability discrimination under New Mexico law face significantly higher barriers than plaintiffs alleging other types of discrimination. The plain text of the New Mexico Human Rights Act (“NMHRA”) provides equal protections against discrimination based on characteristics such as race, gender, pregnancy, and disability. However, by relying on federal disability law to guide the interpretation of the NMHRA in cases of disability discrimination, New Mexico courts have effectively created a two-tiered system in which claims of disability discrimination face higher barriers to prevail in an administrative adjudication and survive summary judgment than other discrimination claims. This two-tiered system not …

Predicting The Future Past: Human Cognitive Limits And Proximate Cause Determinations In Civil Actions, Dr. Molly Wilson, Helen Webster

New Mexico Law Review

Juror decision-making is inherently influenced by psychological biases, which pose a significant challenge to the fairness and accuracy of proximate cause determinations in tort cases. This Article explores the cognitive and social biases—such as hindsight bias, primacy, anchoring, belief in a just world, and moral outrage—that affect jurors as they engage in the complex reasoning required to assess foreseeability and causation. Given that jurors must disregard their knowledge of actual harm and set aside emotional responses to tragic injuries, the risk of bias is substantial. Traditional jury instructions have proven insufficient in mitigating these effects. As a solution, this Article …

The Road Less Traveled: The Path To A Right Of Intrastate Travel In State Constitutions, Katherine S. Leung

New Mexico Law Review

The existence of a right of intrastate travel implicates basic liberties like visiting parks, driving to visit family in another city, going to church or the doctor, or voting. In addition to its importance to everyday, basic liberties, the right of intrastate travel is important for vulnerable populations, like disaster evacuees, unhoused people subject to displacement, and people seeking abortions in states without uniform availability, like New Mexico. Despite the essential nature of the implicated actions, federal courts do not agree on whether the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right of intrastate travel. This comment argues that the right of intrastate …

Maya Fashion And Textile Politics In Guatemala, Dr. Walter E. Little

LAII Events

Contemporary Maya textile production and fashion in Guatemala pushes the boundaries of authenticity, tradition, and what is handmade. New production techniques and shifting economic conditions for Maya women workers challenge notions of what are authentic Mayan textiles, resulting in debates that challenge Mayas gendered and cultural identity positions. Contradictory consumption practices by Mayas further problematize the roles that urban Maya textile entrepreneurs play, as they embrace technological changes in weaving and innovate Maya clothing fashions. Under the guise of economic mobility and fairness, textile entrepreneurs mobilize the labor and opinions of rural artisans, laborers, vendors and middlepersons, and a wide …
