Informative Jury Disagreement, Roy Baharad Jan 2025

Informative Jury Disagreement, Roy Baharad

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

The article introduces a counterintuitive argument, contending that jury disagreement on the defendant’s guilt—a nonunanimous conviction—may well provide a more informative signal, compared to consensus. Because stronger consensus implies higher likelihood of herding, it is shown that beyond some threshold, further accumulation of votes to convict would carry negligible epistemic contribution, barely enhancing the posterior probability of guilt. On the other hand, while dissenting votes provide a direct signal of innocence, they indicate that herding has not been involved in the decision-making process, hence increase the epistemic contribution of any vote generated by said process— including votes to convict—and may …


Introducing The Corporate Restructuring Machine: An Open Platform Approach, Horst Eidenmüller, Jared I. Mayer Jan 2025

Introducing The Corporate Restructuring Machine: An Open Platform Approach, Horst Eidenmüller, Jared I. Mayer

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

The promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become apparent. Yet how will AI affect corporate reorganizations? Based on previous work on the use of AI applications in negotiations, we argue that the potential of such applications to increase the efficiency of corporate workout negotiations is significant. To do so, we imagine the “Corporate Restructuring Machine” (CRM). This is a private, online platform armed with AI tools and services that are designed to support or even automate corporate workouts (out-of-court restructurings). Stakeholders, particularly creditors and shareholders, could join the platform and opt into AI applications at different times, for different services, …


Can Consumers Protect Themselves Against Privacy Dark Patterns?, Matthew B. Kugler, Lior Strahilevitz, Marshini Chetty, Chirag Mahapatra Jan 2025

Can Consumers Protect Themselves Against Privacy Dark Patterns?, Matthew B. Kugler, Lior Strahilevitz, Marshini Chetty, Chirag Mahapatra

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Dark patterns have emerged in the last few years as a major target of legislators and regulators. Dark patterns are online interfaces that manipulate, confuse, or trick consumers into purchasing goods or services that they do not want, or into surrendering personal information that they would prefer to keep private. As new laws and regulations to restrict dark patterns have emerged, skeptics have countered that motivated consumers can and will protect themselves against these manipulative interfaces, making government intervention unnecessary. This debate occurs alongside active legislative and regulatory discussion about whether to prohibit dark patterns in newly enacted comprehensive consumer …

An Impossible Task: Enforcing Disclosure Requirements In A Multi-Billion Dollar Industry, Keelin Ferris Jan 2025

An Impossible Task: Enforcing Disclosure Requirements In A Multi-Billion Dollar Industry, Keelin Ferris

Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology

Users of the first global social network, MySpace, could have never imagined that a mere twenty years later, teenagers could be millionaires making thirty-second videos out of their parents’ basement. Social media platforms have blossomed and advanced to an unpredictable level in a short amount of time. The growth of TikTok, surpassing one billion users, has been one of the most substantial contributors to the change in landscape.[1] In 2025, “social media influencers” come in all shapes and sizes.[2] Social media users can scroll through Instagram reels and stumble upon their fellow PTA member, co-worker, or grandmother promoting …


The Limits Of Tradition: Counterman, True Threats, And The Categorical Approach To Free Speech, Brett Zicari Jan 2025

The Limits Of Tradition: Counterman, True Threats, And The Categorical Approach To Free Speech, Brett Zicari

Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology

Tradition is in vogue.[1] Across a wide variety of areas, the Supreme Court has embraced “history and tradition” as its primary methodology for determining the meaning of constitutional provisions.[2] Recently the Court has even suggested that a restriction on the use of names in trademarks could rest entirely on its traditional status,[3] but nowhere has this move toward tradition been as robust or longstanding as in the speech context. Since the 1940s, the Supreme Court has invoked tradition to defend content-based or categorical restrictions, and more recently, it has purported to rely exclusively on tradition.[4] The …

The Timing Of Claim Construction: An Analysis Of Claim Construction Procedure And A Proposed Rule To Ensure Cost Effective And Timely Relief In Patent Infringement Cases, Timothy A. Richard

Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology

The federal government issues patents to encourage inventors to produce new and useful works and advance the state of the art.[1] The patent process is simple: in exchange for the right to exclude all others from making and using an invention for an established period, the inventor provides the government — and ultimately the public — with a full disclosure of how to make and use the invention.[2] Despite this full disclosure, the terms used in patent claims are subject to judicial interpretation during litigation.[3] Both the Supreme Court of the United States (“Supreme Court”) and the …

Can Sports Leagues "Veto" Certain Online Sports Betting Wagers?, Jacob Comello Jan 2025

Can Sports Leagues "Veto" Certain Online Sports Betting Wagers?, Jacob Comello

Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology

This comment will argue, in light of three Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA)-related Circuit Court cases and new guidance from the Supreme Court on the private nondelegation doctrine, that HISA provides a workable framework to resolve whether sports leagues can engage in rulemaking to prevent certain kinds of bets from taking place. Specifically, the Supreme Court and the Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Circuits appear to have reached a large amount of common ground regarding the structure of the private nondelegation doctrine, and the Circuit Courts have found that much of HISA fits well within that structure. In light of …

Crafting A New Maryland Two-Party Consent Law With A Nice Ring To It, Ryan Brooks

Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology

Picture this: Late on a dark autumn night, a teenage boy is staying at his godfather’s house.[1] Suddenly, the boy falls victim to unspeakable sexual abuse committed by his godfather.[2] Shortly thereafter, the boy escapes the house without his godfather’s knowledge.[3] To get help, the boy tries to get the attention of a neighbor.[4] He approaches neighboring house number one—no answer.[5] He approaches neighboring house number two—no answer.[6] He approaches neighboring house number three—and the homeowner answers the door by using his “doorbell camera.”[7] The boy states that there is an emergency and …


At The Hart Of Immigration Reform: How Dhs’S New Biometric Database Will Infringe On The Privacy Rights Of U.S. Citizens, Permanent Residents, And Foreign Nationals, Calypso Moschochoritis Jan 2025

At The Hart Of Immigration Reform: How Dhs’S New Biometric Database Will Infringe On The Privacy Rights Of U.S. Citizens, Permanent Residents, And Foreign Nationals, Calypso Moschochoritis

Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology

Immigration is a regular feature of American life; President Obama once described the U.S. as “a nation of immigrants.” Even as the host of more immigrants than any other nation, the American public has historically found immigration contentious. Since Congress has failed to agree on comprehensive immigration reform, this responsibility has moved to the executive and judicial branches of government. In 2016, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began working on the Homeland Advanced Recognition Technology (HART) Program, a new biometric information management system, to replace IDENT (Automated Biometric Identification System), DHS’s current biometrics database. HART will join other initiatives …

An Analysis Of Kenya Sign Language In Children’S Programming On Kenyan Tv: Towards Effective Strategies For Incorporating Ksl On Akili Tv Programs, Anne Junny Sato

Executive Masters in Media Leadership and Innovation

In Kenya, the inclusion of Kenya Sign Language (KSL) in children's programs on television holds significant potential for fostering inclusivity and accessibility for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) community. However, the effective integration of KSL into children's programming requires careful planning, consideration of linguistic and cultural nuances, and utilization of appropriate strategies. This capstone project aims to analyse the utilisation of KSL in children’s TV programming and propose effective strategies for incorporating KSL in children's programs on Akili TV, a prominent television channel in Kenya. Drawing from linguistic theories, such as Chomsky's Language Acquisition Device (LAD), and global …

Procréation Assistée Par Autrui Et Fragmentation De La Maternité : Le Piège Du Récit Unique, Kévin Lavoie, Isabel Côté, Roxane Guay Jan 2025

Procréation Assistée Par Autrui Et Fragmentation De La Maternité : Le Piège Du Récit Unique, Kévin Lavoie, Isabel Côté, Roxane Guay

Canadian Journal of Family Law

La fragmentation de la maternité introduite par la fécondation in vitro est une source de préoccupations sociales et scientifiques depuis une quarantaine d’années. Les débats actuels sur la grossesse pour autrui et le don d’ovules, alimentés par les mouvements féministes et les discours publics, font état d’opinions et de convictions autour de l’infertilité, de la conception de la maternité et de la disponibilité du corps des femmes dans le processus d’enfantement. Les tensions qui avivent ces débats sociaux et intellectuels opposent deux visions polarisées au sein desquelles la voix des femmes concernées est peu entendue. Cet article vise à situer …

Surrogacy Agencies In Canada: Intended Parents' Experiences, Stefanie Carsley Jan 2025

Surrogacy Agencies In Canada: Intended Parents' Experiences, Stefanie Carsley

Canadian Journal of Family Law

This article sheds new light on intended parents’ experiences working with surrogacy agencies—businesses that match surrogates with prospective parents. These agencies contravene the Assisted Human Reproduction Act, a federal law that prohibits commercial surrogacy. Interviews with intended parents suggest that some agencies are taking advantage of surrogates and intended parents and lend support to calls to regulate agencies’ practices. This piece will interest scholars and lawmakers advocating for evidence-based law and policy responses to surrogacy in Canada. It broadens the frame relevant to addressing surrogacy beyond relations between surrogates, intended parents, and children to include a commercial sector.


Evaluating Elective Egg Freezing Consent Materials From Canadian Fertility Clinics, Kathleen Hammond Jan 2025

Evaluating Elective Egg Freezing Consent Materials From Canadian Fertility Clinics, Kathleen Hammond

Canadian Journal of Family Law

The use of elective egg freezing (EEF) has rapidly increased in recent years. Despite its popularity, scholars have documented a host of concerns in relation to the use of this technology, especially given aggressive advertising of EEF by the fertility industry as “insurance” and lack of data about success rates. Informed consent processes, and informed consent materials, are particularly important in situations like EEF where healthy people are undergoing interventions that are neither life nor health preserving. Despite these concerns necessitating a rigorous consent process, no research in Canada has explored consent processes surrounding EEF at Canadian fertility clinics to …
