Social Determinants Of Health And How They Affect A Small Rural Community (Case Study) Eastern Shore Of Maryland, Kristopher S. Durham, Lindsay Gietzen

The same problems exist for the population in Maryland and the United States. Understanding the challenges experienced by rural communities in Maryland is critical to addressing the vulnerable population. This study is an explanatory case study that examines the social determinants of health and how those affect small rural communities on the Eastern Shore of Maryland by examining literature published between 2016 and 2024.

Rural Renting: An Empirical Portrait Of Eviction, Cassie Chambers Armstrong, Christopher J. Ryan Jr.

University of Cincinnati Law Review

In this Study, we examine eviction from the renter’s perspective. Specifically, we seek to understand what factors influence the eviction process—and the likelihood it will result in a judgment against a renter—once a property owner initiates legal proceedings. To this end, we used records from 202,572 eviction cases filed by landlords in Kentucky state courts. We employed statistical modeling to determine what impacted whether each case ultimately ended in a judgment of eviction against the renter.

Many of our findings were novel, and they were staggering. We found that, holding all else equal, those living in rural areas were at …

The Unintended Costs Of Advance Waivers Of Future Conflicts, Ashley M. London

Law Faculty Publications

The American Bar Association (“ABA”) unenthusiastically recognized advance waivers of future conflicts for the first time in a 1993 formal opinion. These allow lawyers to take on prospective clients whose interests will be adverse to current clients at some point in the future. They also sidestep the ethics rule requirement of obtaining true informed consent from a client to waive a conflict of interest because, at the time of signing, the conflict is not yet ripe. After a full-court press by its own Business Law Section Ad Hoc Committee during the Ethics 2000 Commission’s review of the Model Rules of …

575 Herkimer St. Assoc., Llc V. Forbes

All Decisions

In a non-payment case involving eight tenants, the landlord's request for direct testimony by affidavit was granted. The court ordered that both sides submit their witnesses' direct testimony through affidavits, beginning with the landlord's counsel submitting direct testimony by November 15, 2024. Objections and revisions by the tenants' counsel must follow. The court held that this procedure, while objected to by the tenants, was in line with evolving court practices to expedite proceedings and did not violate the tenants' right to a fair trial. This order aims to streamline the process while maintaining the integrity of the trial.

All Decisions

In this nonpayment proceeding, the landlord's claim was dismissed because the tenant did not have a rental agreement at the time the case was filed. The court found that the tenant's obligations only arose after signing a lease in April 2024, making the rent demand defective. As a result, the landlord failed to establish a cause of action, and the case was dismissed.

Lenoir’s social exclusion theory was the theoretical framework for this study. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews with 11 housing services case managers who work with …
