The Virtue Of Vulnerability: Mindfulness And Well-Being In Law Schools And The Legal Profession, Nathalie Martin

Faculty Scholarship

This article examines the role of vulnerability in transforming individual relationships, particularly the attorney-client relationship. In this essay, Martin argues that broadening our expressions can improve our client relations and decrease the likelihood that when that inevitable mistake occurs, we will be sued for it. Also, based upon virtue ethics, that practicing vulnerability is also virtuous and thus worthwhile in and of itself.

This essay starts by describing the traits people look for in lawyers as well as evidence that clients often feel that their lawyers are less than human. Then examines how legal education contributes to this problem by …

Murr V. Wisconsin And The Inherent Limits Of Regulatory Takings, Lynda L. Butler

Faculty Publications

This article examines the confusion surrounding constitutional protection of property under the substantive due process and takings clauses, using Murr as a springboard for reconsidering the substantive due process/takings distinction and asking whether the regulatory takings doctrine should remain a viable constitutional concept despite its muddled principles. While powerful reasons support treating as compensable economic regulations that are functionally equivalent to physical takings, important differences between physical and regulatory takings need to be recognized as limits to the degree of equivalence possible and therefore to the regulatory takings doctrine. A look back at the evolutionary paths of substantive due process, …

It's Scandalous! - Limiting Profane Trademark Registrations After Tam And Brunetti, Gary Myers

Faculty Publications

Over the course of the last two years, the Supreme Court has engaged in a long-overdue assessment of the constitutionality of federal trademark law prohibitions on the registration of offensive marks. In its unanimous 2017 decision in Mata/ v. Tam, the Court held that the disparagement clause is a content-based provision that violates the First Amendment. In 2019, the Court in Iancu v. Brunetti held that the refusal to register the mark "FUCT" on grounds that it was immoral or scandalous would also violate the First Amendment. These cases offered an opportunity for the Court to clarify the proper role …

The Female Worker: An Analysis Of Women Residing Along The Moroccan-European And U.S.- American Borderlands, Marlen G. Renderos

Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection

My independent research project is a comparative study focusing on women experiences among the Mexican-U.S. borderlands and Moroccan-European borderlines. For the Mexican-U.S.American context, I will focus on females maquiladora workers and stay-at-home wives. For the Moroccan-European context, I will focus on the mujeres mulas – women mules. My paper will discuss the ways in which society and governments run under a male-dominated lens contributing to the placement of women in vulnerable positions.

Unpacking The Standing Neutral: A Cost Effective And Common-Sense Approach For Preventing Conflict, Kate Vitasek, James P. Groton, Daniel Bumblauskas

Faculty Publications

Let's face it. You don't need to be a Nobel-prize winning economist to know that contracts are inherently incomplete. No lawyer has yet crafted the perfect contract that will anticipate every eventuality. Problems and unexpected events are always around the corner.

Long-term contractual relationships are especially vulnerable to the damage caused by friction in relationships, particularly when this friction turns into a formal dispute. In far too many relationships the parties do not perceive a need to engage in conventional conflict resolution until they begin to experience real pain. By that time, they have blamed each other for their troubles. …

Karma And The United States Government: How Mass Incarceration Policies Created An Ailing And Costly Aging Population In The Prison System And How Can Civil Legal Services Assist The Elderly After Release, Korina Rud

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note argues that mass incarceration policies in the U.S. have led to a growing population of elderly inmates, resulting in significant financial and health burdens. The author emphasizes the critical role of civil legal services in assisting these individuals post-release, particularly in addressing challenges related to employment, housing, and healthcare. The central argument is that tailored legal aid can mitigate the unique struggles faced by elderly ex-offenders, thereby reducing recidivism and improving community integration.

Universal Representation: Systemic Benefits And The Path Ahead, Lindsay Nash

Articles

At a time when politics, financial considerations, and a push for expediency put pressure on the US immigration system, it can be difficult to have faith in the adjudicatory process. Case resolution quotas, directives that constrain courts’ ability to render justice in individual cases, and executive decisions that contract immigration judges’ discretion contribute to an immigration system that looks less and less like judicial adjudication of some of the highest-stakes cases in our legal system and more like a ministerial claims-processing scheme. A ray of hope exists, however, in the proliferation of public defender–style systems that offer universal representation to …

Comparing The International Commercial Courts Of China With The Singapore International Commercial Court, Zhengxin Huo, Yip Man

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The article critically reviews the litigation framework of the Chinese International Commercial Court("CICC') using a comparative approach, taking as a benchmark the Singapore International Commercial Court ("SICC')--another Asian international commercial court situated within the Belt and Road Initiative ("BRI') geography. It argues that the CICC, despite being lauded as a visionary step toward an innovative, efficient and trustworthy dispute resolution system, does not live up to those grand claims on closer scrutiny. The discussion shows that the CICC is in many respects insular and conservative when compared with the SICC. The distinctions between the two litigation frameworks may be explained …

Convening Of Academic Medical-Legal Partnership: Law School Clinical Faculty, Health Justice Alliance

HJA Scholarship

On September 18, 2019, the Georgetown University Health Justice Alliance (HJA), with generous support from the Winer Family Foundation, brought together a group of clinical law faculty from across the country, all of whom use the medical-legal partnership (MLP) model to teach law students to work interprofessionally to address the health harming legal needs of vulnerable patients. This Report provides background on medical-legal partnerships and the law school clinic model, describes the substance discussed during each session of the convening, and includes a summary of key findings and ideas for innovation as well as areas for future exploration.
