The Workings Of Legal Exceptionalism: Arbitration As A Portal To Stateless Law-In-Action Regimes, Thomas Schultz

Buffalo Law Review

This Essay seeks to explores the fertility of thinking about arbitration as a portal to stateless legal regimes. Using the distinction between law in books and law in action, as well as the concepts of social and political disembeddedness and quiet politics, it argues that under the current paradigm of arbitration, it operates as a porous portal, getting corporate and natural citizens to escape into stateless law-in-action legal regimes (though in practice not into a law-in-books stateless legal regime). This raises questions of control of and accountability for the political effects of such stateless law-inaction legal regimes on the rest …

Marriage, Courts, And Substantive Equality: A Transformative Interpretation, Kushagr Bakshi

Michigan Law Review

Courts in various jurisdictions have relied on either the right to privacy or the right to equality to offer protections to the LGBTQ+ community. The use of different rights to achieve similar ends may seem like an empty distinction. But the differences in the nature and function of each right evince the differences in the construction of rights across jurisdictions. In the traditional liberal method of conceptualizing rights, privacy is typically a negative right, restricting the state from interfering in intimate relationships between individuals. Courts operating within a transformative framework of rights interpretation, however, rely on the positive right to …

Next Steps In Online Courts: Accelerating Access To Justice Through Court Technology, J.J. Prescott

Articles

For more than a decade, state courts have been expanding access to justice by adopting online dispute resolution (ODR) platforms and other outward-facing communication technologies. At a deep level, these reforms aim at improving society by bolstering the rule of law. At a surface level, these innovations recognize that the justice system works better when courts and law are easier and less costly to understand and use. In important respects, these efforts have been a success. The accessibility of many state courts is considerably more robust today than it was ten years ago, at least for small-stakes cases, like traffic …

Plausibly Illiberal: Sua Sponte Dismissals Of Pro Se Complaints Under The Prison Litigation Reform Act, Pierce Edlich

Fordham Law Review

Over a quarter of civil litigants file suit in federal court without an attorney. Most unrepresented litigants are in prison, and many of their cases raise complex, delicate constitutional questions. The number of unrepresented litigants in federal courts rose steadily until the 1990s, when Congress passed the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) of 1995 to limit the burden of frivolous inmate litigation on federal courts. Since 1996, the PLRA has defined courts’ procedural obligations for inmate and in forma pauperis (IFP) suits, often filed pro se. The PLRA requires that courts screen and dismiss sua sponte cases that are frivolous, …

Integration Of Ai In Project Management World And Impacts, Shravani Ramaiah, Keerthivasan Kumar

School of Professional Studies

In organizations, effective project management is crucial to achieving business objectives. The ability to gain real-time insights from dynamic data across areas such as finance, resource allocation, and performance metrics can significantly enhance decision-making. Instead of relying on manual report generation, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can enable managers to access actionable insights instantly. AI-driven analytical tools provide live data analysis, allowing managers to make more informed and timely decisions. This is especially important when paired with Agile methodologies, as AI can help streamline processes, reduce manual effort, and maximize efficiency by automating routine tasks and providing predictive analytics. …

Leading The Charge: A Case Study On The Leadership Behaviors Of Education Leaders At Title I Campuses In Texas Prisons, Ashley Mckelvey

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Each year, eligible schools across the nation receive Title I grant funds through the Elementary and Secondary Act. These funds, justified in pursuit of social justice and educational equity, serve to provide supplemental education services to neglected and delinquent students. While the majority of the awarded schools operate within the traditional school setting, a very small number of schools in the United States operate within the correctional setting. These schools receive Title I Part D Subpart 1 funds. Consequently, most of the guidance pertains to best practices within traditional public schools, which provides no provision on the appropriate use of …

No Conozco A Ninguna Miranda Y Quiero Mi Abogado: The Constitutional Inadequacies Of Translated “Miranda Cards” In Police Interrogations, Sean Werkheiser

University of Miami Inter-American Law Review

This article explores the challenges and complexities surrounding the application of the Miranda warning in the United States and specifically addresses its impact on non– English–speaking immigrants. While many Americans are familiar with these rights, recent immigrants may not fully understand them, particularly if they come from countries that do not offer equivalent legal protections. This article performs a comparative analysis of the right to silence and counsel in Cuba, Haiti, and Colombia—three countries with the largest immigrant populations in Miami, FL. Furthermore, this article examines how Miami-Dade Police address the linguistic barriers inherent in translated “Miranda Cards,” and argues …

Coping With And Surviving Domestic Violence Among African American Women In A Rural Community, Kimberly Evonne Wimbush

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Domestic violence (DV) or intimate partner violence is a widespread public health problem in the United States that knows no boundaries. Previous researchers have found that in the United States, African American women experience more severe effects from DV than women in other ethnic groups. The purpose of this generic qualitative study was to identify the coping strategies used by African American women who have survived DV living in rural areas where there are limited professional resources. Premises from the superwoman schema and adult resilience theory guided this research. Semistructured audio-recorded interviews, conducted via Zoom and face-to-face, were used to …

All Decisions

The landlord sought arrears for a rent-stabilized unit, but the tenant successfully asserted a rent-impairing violation defense under MDL § 302-a. The court found the landlord barred from collecting rent for June 2020–May 2022 due to an uncorrected HPD violation, granting a 100% rent abatement and dismissing the petition. The tenant was awarded the deposited funds, and counterclaims remain for further proceedings.

The Sec Spanish Consortium: Foundations For Linguistic Gratuity And Language Documentation Among Latinx Populations In New Destination Communities Of The U.S. South, Stephen Fafulas, Chad Howe, Rafael Orozco, Alicia Cipria, Erin O'Rourke, Nina Moreno, Matthew J. Van Hoose

Research Products

Latinx populations in the USA have grown steadily in recent decades, with significant increases taking place in “new destination communities” of the U.S. South. The focus of our paper is to highlight opportunities for working with these populations, including traditional sociolinguistic ethnographies and community-engaged research. We highlight an initiative named “The SEC Spanish Consortium” which is an interinstitutional collaboration centered on scholarship and service involving Latinx populations in new destination communities of the U.S. South. We show that ongoing and future scholarly work in the U.S. South can act as a mechanism for documenting these emerging Latinx communities while simultaneously …

Attributing Ai Authorship: Towards A System Of Icons For Legal And Ethical Disclosure, Joseph J. Avery, Patricia Sánchez Abril, Alissa Del Riego

Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property

Over the past year, the pervasive role of large language models (LLMs) and artificial intelligence (AI) in text generation has precipitated concerns about ethical usage, authorship, and transparent attribution. This has been true in legal practice, academia, and the corporate world, as well as in countless other arenas. In this Article, we identify the gap that has opened between those demanding proper disclosure (we should know when and to what extent AI is an author) and those struggling to respond to these demands. Part of the problem is that there is no system in place, no lingua franca, no set …

383-17 Llc V. Kwabena Boadu

All Decisions

In this non-payment case, the tenant moved for summary judgment based on an overcharge claim, asserting that a two-attorney stipulation in a prior case violated the Rent Stabilization Code by setting the rent above what was allowable. The landlord argued that the stipulation, made post-HSTPA, was valid under 9 NYCRR 2520.13, which permits tenants to waive certain rights. The court rejected this argument, ruling that such stipulations, which violated the Rent Stabilization Code, were void as against public policy. Consequently, the landlord was found liable for the overcharge, although the exact overcharge amount was left unresolved pending further proceedings.
