Joint Representation Of Spouses And Romantic Partners: Ethical Considerations For Estate Planners, Elizabeth R. Carter Apr 2026

Joint Representation Of Spouses And Romantic Partners: Ethical Considerations For Estate Planners, Elizabeth R. Carter

Arkansas Law Review

Attorneys routinely represent married couples jointly in estate planning matters. Joint representation of married couples—and, increasingly, unmarried romantic partners—is a routine practice for most estate planners. This practice was not always so widely accepted. Beginning in the 1990s, scholars, attorneys, and interest groups successfully advocated for the widespread acceptance of joint representation in estate planning. In a joint representation, the attorney represents both individuals in a collaborative form of representation where confidences and goals are shared between both clients and the attorney. Proponents of joint representation in the estate planning setting argue that it reduces costs, is more consistent with …

Creative Engagement For Community Through The Life-Span, D. Nicole English, Pelgy Vaz

SACAD: Scholarly Activities

Creative Engagement for Community Through the Life-Span

Creative Engagement includes crafts, cultural practices, expressive arts, and activities that bring people together. Having access to such activities enables people to develop healthy habits, social interactions, and build community that can sustain one throughout the lifespan. On-going research indicates that Creative Engagement Activities, and the Communities of Practice that build around them, benefit people throughout the life-span, but become particularly important to older adults, by building resilience and social connections, in the face of inevitable life losses.

Do You Think You Own That Game You Just Bought? Think Again: The Degradation Of Ownership Rights In The Digital Age, Evan Schoop Apr 2026

Do You Think You Own That Game You Just Bought? Think Again: The Degradation Of Ownership Rights In The Digital Age, Evan Schoop

Texas A&M Journal of Property Law

The digital age has redefined ownership, particularly within the video game industry, where End User License Agreements (“EULAs”) and licensing models have eroded traditional consumer rights. This Comment examines how U.S. courts’ broad enforcement of clickwrap and shrinkwrap agreements, combined with evolving monetization models and unilateral contract modification practices, has shifted bargaining power decisively toward game publishers. Using Activision Blizzard’s 2024 EULA as a case study, the Comment illustrates how licensing terms can restrict access, limit legal recourse, and undermine reasonable consumer expectations despite substantial upfront purchases. The Comment then situates these practices within existing consumer protection frameworks and evaluates …


The Battle For Land And Energy: Rethinking Data Centers As Essential Public Infrastructure, Ava Dinunzio Apr 2026

The Battle For Land And Energy: Rethinking Data Centers As Essential Public Infrastructure, Ava Dinunzio

Texas A&M Journal of Property Law

Data centers, integral to the digital economy and services like cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and online communication, have become essential infrastructure. Yet the rapid demand presents challenges, including land scarcity, environmental impacts, and monopolistic control by Big Tech. This Comment argues for classifying data centers as public utilities, using legal precedents and state statutes to demonstrate their role as essential services with natural monopoly traits. Selective public utility regulation would ensure equitable access, sustainable practices, and fair resource use, including tailored eminent domain powers to support development. By addressing these challenges through public utility regulation, this framework balances public needs …

The Eleventh Circuit And The Current State Of The Anti-Modification Provision, Lexton Garrett Apr 2026

The Eleventh Circuit And The Current State Of The Anti-Modification Provision, Lexton Garrett

Texas A&M Journal of Property Law

This Note examines the Eleventh Circuit’s decision in Lee v. U.S. Bank National Association, where the court held that the “anti-modification” provision applies to mixed-use properties that are used for both commercial and residential purposes. The Eleventh Circuit’s decision in Lee created a federal circuit split, as both the First and Third Circuits held that the anti-modification provision does not apply to mixed-use properties. As detailed in this Note, the Eleventh Circuit came to the incorrect conclusion in this case because it incorrectly interpreted the text of the anti-modification provision. However, the Eleventh Circuit’s incorrect decision is not the …

Juror Contact In The Digital Age: The Linkedin Problem, Drew Thornley Apr 2026

Juror Contact In The Digital Age: The Linkedin Problem, Drew Thornley

Duke Law & Technology Review

This Article examines an evolving dispute in professional responsibility: whether a lawyer makes a prohibited communication when viewing a juror’s LinkedIn account. When one LinkedIn user views another’s profile, the platform automatically notifies the profile owner and may include the viewer’s identity. Ethics rules are currently divided on whether or not this notification would count as a prohibited juror communication. On one hand, the ABA and some state bar associations explicitly allow attorneys to view social-media profiles of jurors even when the lawyer’s identity is revealed. On the other hand, some bar associations and courts believe these automatic notifications violate …

Design Of Virtual Impedance Controller For Parallel-Connected Converters In A Microgrid, Manyanda Makoye, Francis Mwasilu, Peter M. Makolo, Jackson Justo Apr 2026

Design Of Virtual Impedance Controller For Parallel-Connected Converters In A Microgrid, Manyanda Makoye, Francis Mwasilu, Peter M. Makolo, Jackson Justo

Tanzania Journal of Science

This paper addresses the significant challenge of inaccurate power sharing among Distributed Generators (DGs) in islanded microgrids, which is primarily caused by mismatched feeder and line impedances. Conventional decentralized control solutions often fail to ensure accurate power sharing, especially when line impedances are resistive. To overcome this, the paper proposes a robust, coordinated Virtual Impedance Control (VIC) strategy for DGs. This method implements fixed virtual resistance and virtual inductance to standardize the output impedance characteristics of parallel-connected inverters, thereby minimizing impedance discrepancies and enhancing system stability through increased damping. The theoretical analysis and design of the VIC were validated through …


Place Names And Presidential Control, Austin Kruse Apr 2026

Place Names And Presidential Control, Austin Kruse

Northwestern University Law Review

Since the start of his second term, President Trump has issued executive orders at an extraordinary pace, using them to advance a broader ideological agenda across the administrative state. While scholarly attention has largely focused on the most sweeping of these directives, less prominent orders raise similar concerns about the reach of presidential power. This Note examines one such order: Executive Order 14,172, which directs the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico and Denali and expands presidential influence over the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN).

Although geographic naming is ostensibly apolitical, place names are deeply entangled with questions of …


Pre-Experiential Constraint Reconstruction: A Structural Account Of The Prior Layer In Dialogue With Jung, Griselda Poe Apr 2026

Pre-Experiential Constraint Reconstruction: A Structural Account Of The Prior Layer In Dialogue With Jung, Griselda Poe

Publications and Research

Experiences commonly described as pre-experiential memory—such as immediate recognition, familiarity without prior exposure, and the sense of "already knowing"—are typically interpreted as the retrieval of stored content. However, this storage-based account does not provide a structurally consistent explanation of how such content is preserved prior to experience or reactivated in a form that aligns with present input.

This paper extends the three-layer cognitive architecture developed in prior work in this series (Poe, 2026n), in which cognition operates across Core processing, Modulation, and an operationally inaccessible Prior layer that supplies constraints to all processing.

This paper proposes an alternative account in …
