Proposed Updates To Aba Standards On Distance/Remote Education, Adrien Katherine Wing

Arkansas Law Review

Outside of the legal academy, distance education has expanded greatly over the past decade and this Article provides an overview of the history of distance education, generally and in law schools. In Part III, it assesses the pros and cons of this type of education. In Part IV, it concludes as to whether the system should be expanded, remain the same, or contract.

The Rural Rescue: Tackling Arkansas’S Legal Deserts Through Proven Statutory Reform, Kathryn Totty

Arkansas Law Review

In some rural counties of Arkansas, a single attorney is responsible for serving thousands of residents, depriving many Arkansans of even basic legal representation. Imagine facing eviction, fighting for custody of your child, contesting a divorce, or navigating the complexities of probate with no attorney for miles. This stark reality exemplifies the growing “legal deserts” problem facing rural Arkansas, where access to justice has become a luxury rather than a right. To combat the growing shortage of legal professionals in rural areas, states seek new solutions—some proving more successful than others. Several states have implemented rural attorney incentive programs, typically …

Licensure As Pathway, Not Barrier, Brian Gallini

Arkansas Law Review

The legal profession knows it has an access to justice crisis. One side lacks a lawyer in approximately three-quarters of the twenty million civil cases filed across state courts every year. Against that concerning backdrop is how we license attorneys. The most common method is the written bar exam. But that exam bears little resemblance to the practice of law, produces racially disparate results, and is shockingly expensive for law graduates to prepare for and take. Its opaque scoring practices alongside its rare administration—offered just twice per year—strengthens the idea that the modern bar exam operates more as a barrier …

Demanding More From Distance Learning: The Virtual & Democratized Futures Of Legal Education, Antonio M. Coronado, Gabriela Elizondo-Craig

Seattle University Law Review Online

Antonio M. Coronado and Gabriela Elizondo-Craig examine the transformative potential of online legal education through their work at Innovation for Justice, where they lead virtual legal training programs for community-based justice workers. They trace the development and limitations of ABA Standard 306, highlighting how the COVID-19 pandemic exposed both the rigidity of traditional legal education and the possibilities of technology-enabled learning. Drawing on adult education theory and best practices in online pedagogy, Coronado and Elizondo-Craig challenge prevailing critiques of distance legal education and advocate for a learner-centered, accessible, and inclusive model. Their experience demonstrates how online legal education, when intentionally …

Flourishing: A Plan To Strengthen Public Legal Education And Information, The Bc Plei Ecosystem Project, Catherine Dauvergne, Aara Johnson, Shannon Srivastava

All Faculty Publications

The Public Legal Education and Information (PLEI) Sectoral Planning Project, headed by Dr. Catherine Dauvergne, K.C., was commissioned by the Law Foundation of British Columbia with the goal of making recommendations about how to improve public legal education and information in the province. The project was co-sponsored by the Law Foundation and the province’s Ministry of the Attorney General. We have come to understand this constellation of resources and organizations as the “public legal education and information ecosystem.” There is a wide array of high-quality, easily accessible, clearly written, legal information available in British Columbia. Ecosystem leaders are at the …

The Shadow Pandemic: The Response To Domestic Violence In The Wake Of Covid-19 And What We Can Carry Forward, Presley Sneed

Georgia Criminal Law Review

When the COVID-19 virus brought the pandemic to the United States in March of 2020, the legal system was not prepared for the increase in domestic and intimate partner violence that would follow. The United Nations (UN) later identified this social phenomenon as a second pandemic, a “shadow pandemic” that resulted from an increase in stay-at-home orders and a decrease in support services for victims. By the end of 2021, forty-five percent of women globally reported either they themselves or a woman they know had experienced some form of domestic or intimate partner violence since the emergence of COVID-19. One …

Xplain: Xai For Interpretable Llms Through Perturbation Analysis And Normalized Vector Similarity, Gopala Dhar, Sharmila Devi

Defensive Publications Series

This document introduces XAI methodology, referred to as XPLAIN, to address the challenges of LLM interpretability by developing a perturbation-based normalized vector similarity metric to identify and quantify word level importance of the prompt provided to an LLM on its generated output. By analyzing which words or phrases most significantly influence an LLM's decisions, the described techniques enhance the explainability and interpretability of large language models. The approach perturbs the prompt via masking words to generate several outputs through the LLM and then compares the outputs with the generated output of the unperturbed prompt through vector-based similarity at a semantic …

62-60 99th St. Owner Ii, Llc V Bobchev

All Decisions

In a non-payment proceeding, the court granted the tenant's motion for leave to amend her answer and for discovery. The court held that the landlord failed to prove prejudice or that the amendments were without merit, especially since the tenant was previously pro-se. The court granted discovery on the tenant's fraudulent deregulation and rent overcharge counterclaim, finding a "totality of the circumstances" indicating a fraudulent scheme. This conclusion was supported by a 140% rent increase from the last registered rent-stabilized tenant, a gap in registrations, an unexplained re-entry into rent stabilization, and a post-HSTPA rent increase of over 20%.

Taxing Litigation Finance, Young Ran (Christine) Kim

Articles

The emerging litigation finance industry has the capacity to expand access to justice but also raises important legal and ethical questions. Although much has been said about the industry’s potential to increase frivolous lawsuits and permit improper control over a claim by the funders, scholarly discussion on the proper tax treatment of the parties involved has fallen by the wayside. The problem arises in classifying litigation finance contracts as either a nonrecourse loan, immediate sale, or variable prepaid forward contract, all of which discretely impact the timing and character of income. Unfortunately, courts have traditionally found it difficult to draw …

Towards A Critical Legal Tech Education: A Decolonial Approach, Diego H. Alcalá Laboy

Seattle University Law Review Online

The intersection of law, technology, and decolonial theory offers a critical framework for exposing and challenging power asymmetries embedded in both legal and technological systems. Drawing from his experience as a criminal defense attorney and legal academic, Diego H. Alcalá Laboy critiques how surveillance technologies, often framed as tools for justice, disproportionately harm marginalized communities. Grounded in Latin American decolonial theory, particularly the modernity/coloniality/decoloniality triad and the concept of pluriversality, he argues for reimagining legal scholarship and pedagogy to disrupt Eurocentric and universalist assumptions. Using a colonizer/colonized framework, he advocates for bottom-up knowledge creation that centers the voices of those …

1616 President St. Assoc. Llc V. Edwards

All Decisions

A landlord sought to reargue a prior order granting a tenant a 100% rent abatement for rent-impairing violations under MDL § 302-a, arguing the abatement period should not extend beyond the rent sought in the unamended petition. The court denied the motion, distinguishing a prior Appellate Term decision (1616 President Street Associates, LLC v. Ann Marie Ackie, 84 Misc 3d 128(A) [App Term, 2d Dept])concerning rent deposit requirements from the court's authority to grant a full abatement on the merits. The court affirmed that MDL § 302-a permits a 100% abatement for the entire period a rent-impairing violation remains uncorrected …

What's Freedom Got To Do With It? Occupational Freedom And The Illusion Of Choice, Bojan Perovic

Georgia State University Law Review

This Article critically examines the concept of occupational freedom, arguing that the legal right to choose and pursue a profession, as enshrined in many constitutional systems, remains largely theoretical for vast segments of the population. While legal frameworks recognize occupational freedom, socioeconomic barriers, systemic discrimination, and cultural norms continue to impede genuine access to professions. Using historical examples like the exclusion of women from the legal profession or racial segregation under apartheid, this Article illustrates how law can act as both an instrument of oppression and a tool for progress.

Artificial Intelligence And The Self-Represented Inventor, Brenda M. Simon

Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review

Lack of access to competent legal representation is pervasive throughout the justice system. Unfortunately, the patent system is no exception. Self-represented inventors are far less likely to obtain patents than those with legal representation. Increasing access to artificial intelligence (AI) can mitigate some of the disadvantages of self-representation, but using AI will also raise new challenges. To the extent that AI systems can help self-represented inventors, they can begin to address one of the underlying causes of the patent gap—lack of access to high-quality legal services. While AI is no substitute for legal representation, it can be incorporated into the …

Developing Lawyering Skills In The Age Of Artificial Intelligence: A Framework For Legal Education, Julie L. Kimbrough

Journal of Technology Law & Policy

This Article explores the emergence of generative artificial intelligence technology in legal education and law practice. It first offers historical perspective by examining the development of online legal research systems and other existing law practice technology tools that leverage artificial intelligence. This Article then proposes a framework for legal education based on twenty-first-century competencies that advance human interaction with legal technology tools. Next, this Article recommends that law schools incorporate these competencies into learning outcomes along with a holistic approach to teaching technology-driven lawyering skills as a strategy to narrow the learning gap between legal education and law practice. It …

Through The Ai-Looking Glass And What Consumers Find There, Ashley Krenelka Chase, Sam Harden

Journal of Technology Law & Policy

While a lack of internet regulation is the norm in the United States, generative artificial intelligence (AI) presents a series of new challenges, particularly in the legal field. Those who are trained in the law know to check their sources, whether they come from case law or a generative AI tool like ChatGPT, but the average consumer is not so discerning. When that average consumer is in the midst of dealing with legal issues and has to navigate those issues without a lawyer, he or she is less likely to sit back and evaluate the information they’re being given, particularly …
