New Dominion, Old Tricks: A Review Of Virginia's 2024 General Assembly Session, Ryan Pokorny, Tucker Weiser

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

The 2024 General Assembly session followed a transformative election cycle. Democrats regained full control of the General Assembly after two years of split legislative power, thwarting Governor Glenn Youngkin’s efforts to secure a Republican trifecta. Redistricting drove unprecedented turnover, with more than one-third of lawmakers joining their respective chambers as newcomers in 2024. The remade General Assembly was the youngest in recent memory and the most diverse in Virginia history. These changes brought uncertainty and promises of cooperation, but the session soon descended into familiar partisan polarization. Governor Youngkin vetoed a record number of bills, while Democrats voted down many …

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

Virginia has a decades-long history with the data center industry’s growth and development, which has been critical to the nation’s—and world’s—increasingly digital economy. The industry also has brought extraordinary benefits to state and local economies, including hundreds of billions of dollars in capital investments and tax revenues as well as tens of thousands of jobs. Yet this historic success, according to many, comes at a high cost to local communities. Data center facilities can be imposing and take up a lot of land; they require a significant amount of additional energy generation and often more transmission infrastructure; and they use …

The State Of Record Clearance In The Commonwealth Of Virginia, Rob Poggenklass

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

One in three American adults has a criminal record, which can create significant barriers to finding suitable employment and housing. In Virginia, even arrest records are public and can last a lifetime unless someone navigates the complex process of expungement. For people with criminal convictions, the outlook has been even more bleak—Virginia is one of just a handful of states where no relief is available for conviction records.

But this is all about to change. On July 1, 2025, a record sealing law passed by the General Assembly in 2021 and signed by the previous governor, Ralph Northam, will take …

Reconsidering Griswold: Amid Post-Dobbs Threats To Reproductive Freedom, Youngkin Vetoes The Virginia Right To Contraception Act, Katie Baker, Christopher Fleming

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

In its 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the United States Supreme Court found that there is no constitutional right to an abortion, overturning nearly fifty years of precedent set by Roe v. Wade.

In his concurrence in Dobbs, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the Court “should reconsider” its past decision in Griswold v. Connecticut. The 1965 case found that married people have a constitutional right to contraception, which Eisenstadt v. Baird extended to unmarried individuals in 1972.

In response to Thomas’ words and to growing threats to reproductive freedom post-Dobbs, …

The General Assembly Must Act To Protect Victims Of Sexual Abuse Following The Supreme Court Of Virginia's Recent And Significant Circumscription Of Vicarious Liability, Mark D. Dix, Robert C.T. Reed

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

Few doctrines are as ingrained in the American civil justice system as that of vicarious liability: holding a principal liable for an agent’s tortious conduct. Public policy, further bolstered now by modern economic theory, provides the foundation for this doctrine. With respect to a principal’s liability for an agent’s intentional tort, the modern view has been to hold a principal just as liable for such an act as a negligent one. Virginia had largely been in step with this trend. However, beginning in 2018, the Supreme Court of Virginia reversed the Commonwealth’s course, particularly with respect to cases of sexual …

Optimizing Vgg16 Deep Learning Model With Enhanced Hunger Games Search For Logo Classification, Mohammed Hussain, Thaer Thaher, Mohamed Basel Almourad, Majdi Mafarja

All Works

Accurate classification of logos is a challenging task in image recognition due to variations in logo size, orientation, and background complexity. Deep learning models, such as VGG16, have demonstrated promising results in handling such tasks. However, their performance is highly dependent on optimal hyperparameter settings, whose fine-tuning is both labor-intensive and time-consuming. Swarm intelligence algorithms have been widely adopted to solve many highly nonlinear, multimodal problems and have succeeded significantly. The Hunger Games Search (HGS) is a recent swarm intelligence algorithm that has shown good performance across various applications. However, the standard HGS still faces limitations, such as restricted population …
