Worker Debt And Worker Exit, Rachel Dempsey, David H. Seligman Jan 2024

Worker Debt And Worker Exit, Rachel Dempsey, David H. Seligman

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

One of the primary ways in which workers exercise power in the employment relationship is by leveraging competition among employers through the threat that they may go work for an employer that would pay them more or treat them better. Increasingly, employers have tried to undermine this core component of worker bargaining power through stay-or-pay contracts that charge workers penalties or threaten them with damages actions for leaving jobs before they have completed a prescribed term of employment. These contracts are intended and function to constrain worker mobility, suppress wages, and enable worker mistreatment. Through case studies of contemporary litigation …


Why We Need A National Absolute Noncompete Ban: Restrictive Covenants From Innovation, Antidiscrimination & Competition Policy Perspectives, Orly Lobel Jan 2024

Why We Need A National Absolute Noncompete Ban: Restrictive Covenants From Innovation, Antidiscrimination & Competition Policy Perspectives, Orly Lobel

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

Noncompete law stands at the intersection of competition, equality, innovation, and employment policy. While the Uniform Restrictive Employment Agreements Act (UREAA or the Act) is a positive step forward in curtailing the use of restrictive covenants, the Act is limited in its scope because it adopts a partial noncompete ban rather than a comprehensive ban. Because noncompetes harm not only workers by suppressing mobility and wages but also innovation, entrepreneurship, competition, equality, and market growth, enforcing noncompetes for higher-skilled workers can be particularly harmful from an economic policy perspective. The research on noncompetes—which has become robust in recent years—supports a …


Noncompete Law, The Uniform Act, And The Ftc Proposed Rule, Stewart J. Schwab Jan 2024

Noncompete Law, The Uniform Act, And The Ftc Proposed Rule, Stewart J. Schwab

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

This Article summarizes the Uniform Restrictive Employment Agreement Act and compares it to the proposed Federal Trade Commission rule that bans noncompete agreements. The Uniform Act regulates the whole family of restrictive employment agreements, including noncompetes but also confidentiality agreements, nonsolicitation agreements, no-recruit agreements, payment-for-competition agreements, and training-repayment agreements. By contrast, the FTC rule covers only noncompete agreements and their functional equivalents. Both the Uniform Act and the FTC rule cover all workers, including employees and independent contractors. While the FTC rule bans noncompetes for all workers, the Uniform Act bans agreements for low-wage workers (defined as those earning less …


Whose Lane Is It Anyway: Anticipating The Effects Of The Supreme Court's Major Question Doctrine On The Department Of Labor, Daniel Woodruff Jan 2024

Whose Lane Is It Anyway: Anticipating The Effects Of The Supreme Court's Major Question Doctrine On The Department Of Labor, Daniel Woodruff

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

The Major Question Doctrine has emerged as an apparently powerful new tool for courts when deciding issues involving federal agencies. In West Virginia v. EPA, the Supreme Court bolstered a major questions exception that had operated in the background of previous Court decisions, labeling it the Major Question Doctrine. Under the Major Question Doctrine, courts must ask if the question presented by an agency’s rule is an economically or politically significant question. If the court decides that it is, the court must identify clear congressional authorization for the rule to uphold the rule. This Note briefly follows the development …


Embracing Tax Avoidance, David Elkins Jan 2024

Embracing Tax Avoidance, David Elkins

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

Avoidance is a major theme in tax law jurisprudence. Congress, the Treasury, and the courts have developed numerous doctrines to deny beneficial treatment when the taxpayer’s principal purpose or presumed principal purpose was the avoidance of taxation. Each attempt to shut down tax avoidance then becomes the opening salvo in the next round of engagement as tax planners devise means of circumventing the restrictions and new rules are developed to counter the latest avoidance maneuvers. The thesis of this Article is that the incessant war on tax avoidance has prevented both academics and policymakers from appreciating the gifts that tax …


A Political Canary: An Empirical Study Of The Correlation Between Hatch Act Complaints And How The Electoral College Votes, Raimund P. Stieger Jan 2024

A Political Canary: An Empirical Study Of The Correlation Between Hatch Act Complaints And How The Electoral College Votes, Raimund P. Stieger

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

The American public witnesses hundreds, if not thousands, of violations of the Hatch Act—an administrative law designed to keep partisan politics out of Government—each year. This study aimed to determine whether there is a correlation between the number of Hatch Act complaints reported in the fiscal year leading up to a Presidential election and how divisive the political landscape is during that Presidential election. Political divisiveness was defined as how close the winning Presidential candidate was to receive fifty percent of the electoral college. To assess the theory that an increase in Hatch Act complaints is an early indicator of …


Why Didn't You Leave?: Resolving The Circuit Split On Admitting Battered Woman Syndrome Testimony For Duress Defenses, Dylan Uhrig Jan 2024

Why Didn't You Leave?: Resolving The Circuit Split On Admitting Battered Woman Syndrome Testimony For Duress Defenses, Dylan Uhrig

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

In 1979, Lenore Walker developed the theory of Battered Woman Syndrome. Walker’s theory provided a framework for understanding the rationales and actions of those trapped in abusive relationships. Since then, expert testimony on Battered Woman Syndrome has been held admissible in a number of contexts in the criminal justice system. Yet, the federal circuit courts are divided on the admissibility of expert testimony concerning Battered Woman Syndrome when used to support a duress defense. This Note provides a brief overview of the theory of Battered Woman Syndrome and its criticisms. This Note then discusses the decisions and reasoning constituting the …

This Article breaks down the components of the new statute and explores its preliminary successes and shortcomings, particularly from an enforcement perspective.


Making Beggars Out Of Victims: How Florida's Claim Bill System Leaves Claimants To Languish, Logan Grutchfield Jan 2024

Making Beggars Out Of Victims: How Florida's Claim Bill System Leaves Claimants To Languish, Logan Grutchfield

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

Within its waiver of state sovereign immunity, Florida requires plaintiffs who secure a judgment against the state, or one of its public entities, to seek legislative approval for payment of the judgment when it exceeds the statutory threshold. This Note explores the history of Florida’s waiver of sovereign immunity and the harm perpetuated by Florida’s claim bill system while also examining the unique features of Florida’s claim process. This Note then reviews other state approaches to sovereign immunity and recommends solutions for Florida’s claim system.

The Chinese Balloon Incident And Partisanism In International Law, Samuli Seppänen Jan 2024

The Chinese Balloon Incident And Partisanism In International Law, Samuli Seppänen

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review

This Article discusses the implications of the February 2023 Chinese balloon incident for understanding Chinese foreign policy elites' approaches to international law. It argues that the Chinese balloon incident fits the perception of a globally ambitious and activist China. At the same time, the ethically ambiguous context offoreign surveillance flights problematizes the stark dichotomies between authoritarian and liberal approaches to international law. Chinese legal arguments in the Chinese balloon incident followed the Cold War-era playbook of diplomatic exchanges on unauthorized flights in foreign airspace. Moreover, the Chinese commentary on U.S. conduct in the Chinese balloon incident in some ways resembled …


Authoritarian International Law: An Unfinished Research Odyssey, Roda Mushkat Jan 2024

Authoritarian International Law: An Unfinished Research Odyssey, Roda Mushkat

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review

The concept-rich international legal space has expanded in the past few years by incorporating the notion that there is a distinct form of internationalaw possessing authoritarian traits. This notion stands in contrast with the time-honored mainstream variant which is assumed to have liberal-democratic roots and dispositions. A product of the current decade, authoritarian international law has nevertheless left a palpable mark on international legal theory and is believed to have materially reshaped the international legal landscape. The primary aim of this Article is to summarize the achievements made in analyzing the dimensions of this new concept and its considerable practical …


Rulers, Victims, Educators, Or Partners? Judges' Perception Of Their Relationship With Lawyers, Boaz Shnoor, Eyal Katvan Jan 2024

Rulers, Victims, Educators, Or Partners? Judges' Perception Of Their Relationship With Lawyers, Boaz Shnoor, Eyal Katvan

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review

Judges oftenface lawyer misbehavior in court. Such misbehavior, and the way judges address it, are pressing issues, which challenge all courts. However, the current literature on the legal profession and legal education lacks a systemic analysis of judges' perceptions of lawyers' behavior in their courtrooms, of the ways in which judges are influenced by lawyers' misbehavior, and of the ways in which they respond to it. This Article fills this gap by empirically analyzing judges' perceptions of lawyers' misbehavior, how it influences judges' work environments, the methods they use to cope with it, and the constraints they face in dealing …


Are Holocaust Denial Laws And Critical Race Theory Bans The Same?, Rob Kahn Jan 2024

Are Holocaust Denial Laws And Critical Race Theory Bans The Same?, Rob Kahn

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review

Florida's education rules list Holocaust denial and critical race theory ("CRT") as "theories that distort the past." This is not a fair comparison. Holocaust denial laws and CRT bans are analytically distinguishable. Holocaust denial laws were originally intended to fight hate, and this is the only reason they might be legitimate today. By contrast, CRT bans, for all their well-meaning language aboutprotecting childrenfrom race-based accusations of guilt, intend to silence the past. Indeed, the CRT bans are uncannily similar to the laws used in Turkey to ban discussion of the Armenian Genocide in schools. While one might reject both sets …


Enhancing Fairness And Compassion In Military Disciplinary Proceedings, Rinat Kitai-Sangero Jan 2024

Enhancing Fairness And Compassion In Military Disciplinary Proceedings, Rinat Kitai-Sangero

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review

This Article critically assesses the disciplinary proceedings carried out by judicial officers within the military, shedding light on the absence of crucial procedural guarantees, such as the right to legal representation and an impartial judge. After comparing the Israeli disciplinary proceedings with the Summary Court-Martial system in the United States and considering arguments used to justify the lack of procedural guarantees, the Article emphasizes the emotional distress experienced by soldiers who feel powerless due to power imbalances with their commanders and the severity ofprison sentences they may face. While the Article primarily focuses on the Israeli army, its main arguments …


Reuniting "Active" And "Direct" Participation: The International Criminal Court's Dph Divorce In Lubanga, Josef Danczuk Jan 2024

Reuniting "Active" And "Direct" Participation: The International Criminal Court's Dph Divorce In Lubanga, Josef Danczuk

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review

Throughout treaty-making processes and turn-of-the-century international criminal tribunal decisions, scholars and judges alike determined that the terms "direct" and "active," when referring to participation in hostilities, were synonymous. However, the International Criminal Court ("ICC'), in interpreting the Rome Statute in the Lubanga case, determined that they were not, creating disparity between interpretations of the same terms within International Criminal Law ("ICL") and the Law of Armed Conflict ("LOAC"). Not only is the ICC's interpretation legally wrong, it is also practically unworkable and distorts the well-established doctrine of DPH as defined in LOAC. Lubanga may have broadened protectionfor child soldiers, but …


Constructing A Taxonomy Of Financial Consumer Protection Policy And Assessing The New Consumer Duty In The United Kingdom's Financial Sector, Iris H-Y Chiu, Wai-Yee Wan Jan 2024

Constructing A Taxonomy Of Financial Consumer Protection Policy And Assessing The New Consumer Duty In The United Kingdom's Financial Sector, Iris H-Y Chiu, Wai-Yee Wan

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review

The article critically examines the UK's Consumer Duty, introduced by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), arguing that while it represents a significant step in financial consumer protection, it falls short in addressing welfare outcomes and distributive justice. The Duty focuses on consumer empowerment but neglects key aspects of consumer citizenship, such as access to essential financial services and guarantees of product quality. The article proposes a taxonomy of consumer protection levels to evaluate the Duty's effectiveness and advocates for a more robust framework that prioritizes financial inclusion and long-term consumer welfare.


One Size Does Fit All: A Quasi-Federal Solution To The Euro-Centric Structural Shortcomings Of The Icc, Anivesh Bharadwaj Jan 2024

One Size Does Fit All: A Quasi-Federal Solution To The Euro-Centric Structural Shortcomings Of The Icc, Anivesh Bharadwaj

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review

The article critiques the International Criminal Court's (ICC) centralized structure in The Hague, arguing that it undermines transparency, accessibility, and legitimacy, particularly for victims and witnesses in remote regions. The author proposes a "quasi-federal" framework to decentralize the Court, enabling regional proceedings while maintaining a central Appeals Chamber and Presidency. This restructuring aims to address structural flaws, enhance deterrence, and improve justice delivery by bringing proceedings closer to affected communities.
