Citation Advantage Of Open Access Legal Scholarship, James M. Donovan, Carol A. Watson

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

In this study focusing on the impact of open access on legal scholarship, the authors examine open access articles from three journals at the University of Georgia School of Law and confirm that legal scholarship freely available via open access improves an article’s research impact. Open access legal scholarship—which today appears to account for almost half of the output of law faculties—can expect to receive fifty-eight percent more citations than non–open access writings of similar age from the same venue.

The Case For Tradable Tax Credits, Clint Wallace

Faculty Publications

This note argues that tradable tax credits offer advantages as compared to other mechanisms the federal government can use to affect social and economic policy. Policymakers should consider the tradable tax credit as a potentially desirable form of tax incentive, rather than a necessity of political compromise as was the case in the enactment of existing tradable credits. First, the note establishes that tradable tax credits can be the economic equivalent of direct spending programs and of refundable tax credits. Next, the note examines a limited but significant set of circumstances in which the tradable tax credit can offer efficiency …

Engaging The Legal Academy In Disaster Response, Susan Kuo, Davida Finger, Laila Hlass, Anne Hornsby, Rachel Van Cleave

Faculty Publications

This article discusses three models of law school engagement that have been used to respond to natural disasters. The three models discussed are a disaster law clinic, a course on disaster law, and a student-led initiative featuring non-credit, pro bono placements. Each model offers a conceptual approach for integrating community-based, justice-oriented initiatives into academic and clinical teaching. Taken as templates for a more permanent model of engagement in the area of post-disaster law and social justice, these models demonstrate that the legal academy can meet its service obligation to the community while training lawyers to better appreciate the central tenets …

Activism And Anagnorisis, Marc Ouellette

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[First paragraph]

As I mull the current issue – a wonderful collection of open submissions and a terrific supplement on “post-9/11” developments, about both of which I feel too intellectually impoverished to write adequately – I am filled with mixed feelings, thoughts and even theoretical positions. This last is kind of inescapable given my best efforts to put theory into practice whenever and wherever possible. The two cannot and should not be inseparable, at least for anyone who claims to be even the most remotely involved in Cultural Studies. And yet, I know that this is the area where Cultural …

A Multi-Regulator Sliding Mode Control Strategy For Output-Constrained Systems, Hanz Richter

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper proposes a multi-regulator control scheme for single-input systems, where the setpoint of a regulated output must be changed under the constraint that a set of minimum-phase outputs remain within prescribed bounds. The strategy is based on a max–min selector system frequently used in the aerospace field. The regulators used for the regulated and limited outputs are of the sliding mode type, where the sliding variable is defined as the difference between an output and its allowable limit. The paper establishes overall asymptotic stability, as well as invariance properties leading to limit protection. The design methodology is illustrated with …

Exploration Of Nde Properties Of Amb Supported Rotors For Structural Damage Detection, Jerzy T. Sawicki, Dmitry L. Storozhev, John D. Lekki

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications

Recent advancements in actuator technology, power electronics, sensors, and signal processing have created a rapid development of smart machine technologies for rotating machinery. Ranging from machine condition monitoring and diagnostics to full active control of machine behavior, the integration of electrical and computer systems has produced significant advances in machine performance and reliability. Magnetic bearings are a typical mechatronics product. The hardware is composed of mechanical components combined with electronic elements such as sensors and power amplifiers and an information processing part, usually in the form of a microprocessor. In addition, an increasingly important part is software, which specifies the …

The Effects Of Exposure To Intimate Partner Violence On Children’S Development, Courtney A. Crittenden, Emily M. Wright, Abigail A. Fagan

Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

Previous research indicates that intimate partner violence (IPV) increases the likelihood of negative outcomes for children exposed to it, including the use of violence, drug use, and poor mental health. Yet this work often overlooks potential complexities in how IPV exposure may affect children’s development. For example, the impact of IPV may be felt immediately or develop over time; its effects may vary for boys and girls; and other life experiences may affect the extent to which exposure to IPV influences children’s outcomes. This article summarizes the main findings of a research project examining the degree to which exposure to …

Reconsidering Accountability For Environmental Inspectors: Trading 'Compliance By Computer' For Relationship Building, Michelle C. Pautz

Political Science Faculty Publications

Demands for government accountability extend into all the aspects of government service and the environmental realm is no different. Environmental inspectors — the front-line workers in environmental protection agencies — are among the many civil servants who face demands for accountability. Unfortunately, although accountability is desirable normatively speaking, in practice it is not so simple. Accountability for environmental inspectors frequently involves measures such as the number of inspections completed, the efficiency of data entry in agency databases, and the turnaround time on inspection reports. Such measures leave environmental inspectors, who ideally want — and practically need — to be in …

Building A New Bridge Over Troubled Waters: Lessons Learned From Canadian And U.S. Arbitration Of Human Rights And Discrimination Employment Claims, Shelley Mcgill, Ann Marie Tracey

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article critiques the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in 14 Penn Plaza LLC v. Pyett, which upheld the enforceability of collective bargaining agreements that waive individuals' rights to pursue statutory discrimination claims in court, favoring mandatory arbitration. The authors argue that this ruling undermines access to justice and the societal goals of anti-discrimination laws, advocating for legislative reforms to preserve judicial forums. They contrast this with the Canadian system, which allows concurrent jurisdiction between labor arbitrators and human rights tribunals, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and public policy goals. The authors propose that arbitration should not preclude access to judicial or …

Stateless, Jay Milbrandt

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article argues that statelessness, affecting 12 million people globally, is a critical issue that international law inadequately addresses. It highlights the limitations of current legal frameworks and proposes a modern, technology-driven identification system to mitigate this crisis, drawing inspiration from historical solutions like the Nansen Passport.

The Manual Scavenging Problem: A Case For The Supreme Court Of India, Samuel D. Permutt

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note addresses the persistent issue of manual scavenging in India, a practice where predominantly Dalit women and girls clean human waste under deplorable conditions. Despite legal prohibitions, the practice continues due to caste-based discrimination and inadequate sanitation infrastructure. The author argues that the Supreme Court of India, through Public Interest Litigation (PIL), can effectively tackle this issue by implementing a three-step solution to eradicate manual scavenging.
