The Monetization Of Childhood: How Child Social Media Stars Are Unprotected From Exploitation In The United States, Jessica Pacht-Friedman

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note highlights the legal vulnerabilities of child social media influencers, or "kidfluencers," who are increasingly exploited due to inadequate protections under U.S. labor laws. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) exempts child performers, and while some states have Coogan Laws, these are insufficient to address the unique challenges posed by digital platforms like YouTube. The author advocates for expanding these protections to include social media stars and adopting a "Right to be Forgotten" to safeguard children's privacy and financial interests.

Equal Education Means Equal Education: Confronting Education Access Disparities For New York Students Amid The Covid-19 Pandemic During The 2020-2021 School Year, Sara Gruber

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated existing educational disparities, particularly affecting low-income and minority students in New York due to the shift to online learning. The state's current legislation, such as the Dignity for All Students Act, fails to address these off-campus digital divide issues, necessitating legal reform to ensure equal educational opportunities.

Essay: A Continuing Constitutional Trend Of Using The First To Interpret The Second, David L. Hudson Jr.

Law Faculty Scholarship

This Essay examines the continuing constitutional trend of using First Amendment principles to interpret and develop Second Amendment doctrine. Beginning with District of Columbia v. Heller, in which the Supreme Court drew multiple analogies between the two amendments, the article traces how lower courts have relied on First Amendment jurisprudence to structure Second Amendment analysis. Courts have borrowed concepts such as the non-absolute nature of constitutional rights, the role of history and tradition, categorical exclusions, tiered standards of scrutiny, adequate alternatives, evidentiary requirements, and doctrines relating to fees, underinclusivity, and geographic limitations. At the same time, courts have rejected …

Whiteness As Contract, Marissa Jackson Sow

Law Faculty Publications

2020 forced scholars, policymakers, and activists alike to grapple with the impact of “twin pandemics”—the COVID-19 pandemic, which has devastated Black and Indigenous communities, and the scourge of structural and physical state violence against those same communities—on American society. As atrocious acts of anti-Black violence and harassment by law enforcement officers and white civilians are captured on recording devices, the gap between Black people’s human and civil rights and their living conditions has become readily  apparent. Less visible human rights abuses camouflaged as private commercial matters, and thus out of the reach of the state, are also increasingly exposed as …

The Emergence Of Neutrality, Jud Campbell

Law Faculty Publications

This Article traces two interwoven jurisprudential genealogies. The first of these focuses on the emergence of neutrality in speech and press doctrine. Content and viewpoint neutrality are now the bedrock principles of modern First Amendment law. Yet the history of these concepts is largely untold and otherwise misunderstood. Scholars usually assume that expressive-freedom doctrine was mostly undeveloped before the early twentieth century and that neutrality was central to its modern rebirth. But this view distorts and sometimes even inverts historical perspectives. For most of American history, the governing paradigm of expressive freedom was one of limited toleration, focused on protecting …

The Banker Removal Power, Da Lin

Law Faculty Publications

The Federal Reserve (“the Fed”) can remove bankers from office if they violate the law, engage in unsafe or unsound practices, or breach their fiduciary duties. The Fed, however, has used this power so rarely that few even realize it exists. Although major U.S. banks have admitted to repeated and flagrant lawbreaking in recent years, the Fed has never removed a senior executive from one of these institutions.

This Article offers the first comprehensive account of the banker removal power. It makes four contributions. First, drawing on a range of primary sources, it recovers the power’s statutory foundations, showing that …

How Biden Could Keep Filling The Federal Circuit Court Vacancies, Carl Tobias

Law Faculty Publications

In October 2020, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden speculated that the fifty-four talented, extremely conservative, and exceptionally young, appellate court judges whom then-President Donald Trump and two relatively similar Grand Old Party (GOP) Senate majorities appointed had left the federal appeals courts “out of whack.” Problematic were the many deleterious ways in which Trump and both of the upper chamber majorities in the 115th and 116th Senate undermined the courts of appeals, which are the courts of last resort for practically all lawsuits, because the United States Supreme Court hears so few appeals. The nomination and confirmation processes which Trump …

The Promise And Perils Of Private Enforcement, Luke Norris

Law Faculty Publications

A new crop of private enforcement suits is sprouting up across the country. These laws permit people to bring enforcement actions against those who aid or induce abortions, against schools that permit transgender students to use bathrooms consistent with their gender identities, and against schools that permit transgender students to play on sports teams consistent with their gender identities. Similar laws permit people to bring enforcement actions against schools that teach critical race theory and against those who sell restricted firearms. State legislatures are considering a host of laws modeled on these examples, along with other novel regimes. These are …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

As witnessed from 2008 to 2011 in the case of the Preah Vihear temple, boundary demarcation can become securitized and lead to armed clashes. The Royal Thai Army of the Kingdom of Thailand is primarily responsible for securing the land border. Along the Thai-Cambodian border, security threats still exist. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze how the Suranaree Command, one of the RTA’s border defense units, has performed its de-escalation efforts on the contentious Thai-Cambodian border. Using anonymous interviews and open-source information due to the confidentiality of the unit, this research investigates the Command’s performance from 2012-2022, along with other …

Challenges In Establishing An Asean Peacekeeping Force, Thanaphat Diewvilai

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This research consults with the "norm’s life cycle" under international norm dynamics concept to identify and analyze the challenges in establishing an ASEAN Peacekeeping Force. This study argues that the emergent norm of establishing an ASEAN Peacekeeping Force has not yet reached the threshold to transition into the second stage of norm cascade where it is widely embraced by ASEAN member states; and the norm has not reached the stage of norm internalization where it is accepted within the practices of ASEAN. The presence of long-standing and powerful norms within the "ASEAN Way" hinders the advancement and full integration of …

It also analyzes the aftermath and consequences of the attacks, as well as efforts to address the issues. The study found that Russia's primary purpose in cyberattacks is most likely to survive the anarchy of the international system, in which states can never trust each other and must rely on themselves. The acts of Estonia and Ukraine, as well as NATO's ambitions to expand, intervene, and achieve dominance in Russia's sphere of influence, would …

Analysis Of Genetic Diversity In A Novel Vaccine Candidate, The Glutamic Acid-Rich Protein Of Plasmodium Falciparum (Pfgarp), Rattanaporn Rojrung

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Malaria vaccine development confronts high genetic polymorphism in some antigenic components of the vaccine candidates, which could potentially limit the vaccine efficacy. An antigen of Plasmodium falciparum, designated glutamic acid-rich protein (PfGARP), has recently been considered as a strong vaccine target against asexual-blood-stages parasite. It has been shown that naturally acquired anti-PfGARP antibodies elicited clinical protection against severe malaria among people living in hyperendemic areas. Furthermore, PfGARP has been involved in binding to human erythrocyte band 3, which induces erythrocyte aggregation and might bring about severe malaria. However, the extent of genetic variation in the pfgarp locus among field isolates …

Development Of Plant-Produced Anti-Il-6r Mab, Namthip Kaewbandit

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

After the body is invaded by pathogens, it responds by secreting cytokines, for example, interleukin 6 (IL-6), which activates an intracellular signaling pathway involving JAKs/STAT3 through phosphorylation. However, overexpression of pSTAT-3 can lead to a positive feedback loop of IL-6, causing the release of more cytokines and potentially leading to cytokine storm. Thus, inhibition of IL-6 signaling is another important target for Cytokine storm treatment. Tocilizumab, a humanized IL-6R antibody has been approved for RA treatment. There are several concerns about mammalian cell protein expression systems, such as higher production costs and pathogen contamination risks. Recently, plants have become increasingly …
