Case Analysis: Process & Industrial Development (P&Id) Vs. The Federal Republic Of Nigeria (2023), Kiiza Smith, Renu Pal Sood, Malvika Gupta, Averi Bhimta

African Journal of Criminology and Justice Studies

Abstract

This article discusses the case between Process and Industrial Development Limited vs. The Federal Republic of Nigeria (2023). Arbitration is relatively new to Nigeria and arguably Africa as a whole. Nigerian Judges and the populace are considered inexperienced and may barely have sufficient knowledge on Arbitration. It is also difficult to find lawyers that are grounded in Arbitration. Hence, arbitration cases are not often decided in Nigeria. It is often said that “Nigeria does not have a fighting chance.” This means that when it comes to Arbitration, Nigeria simply does not have the resources and manpower to handle and …

Interlinkt.Org, Linking Internationals With Their New Homeland, A U.S. Refugee Resettlement Mobile Phone Website, Russell J. Chun

Doctor of Leadership

Interlinkt.org is a mobile platform designed to enhance U.S. refugee resettlement by improving communication between newcomers, caseworkers, and churches. Grounded in Stephen Krashen's “Compelling Input Theory,” it aims to foster English language acquisition and cultural integration.

Key insights from the research include:

1. A simple guide for volunteers assisting in refugee resettlement is needed.
2. An unconscious communication barrier between caseworkers and volunteer groups due to privacy laws.
3. Growing interest and use of Interlinkt by TESOL and ESL instructors in Texas and Colorado.

In 2024, over 100,024 refugees resettled in the U.S., many fleeing war and trauma. With limited formal support lasting …

Book Review: How To Set Up And Run A Law Clinic, Peggy Maisel, Paul R. Tremblay

Faculty Scholarship

This book answers many questions for those tasked with deciding whether and how to fund a law school clinic. It also provides metrics by which to evaluate the operations of a clinic. And finally, this book addresses not just how best to run a clinic, but in many ways how best to deliver legal services to a community in great need of legal help, whether through a law school program or in the neighborhood. It answers questions every legal aid office in the world with limited resources must answer: how to choose clients, how to decide which services the clients …

Breaking Up With The Anti-Hero: How 303(B)(3) Can Help Law Schools Mitigate Their Perennial Devices, Prices, Vices, And Crises, Kelly M. Gamble

Maine Law Review

The American Bar Association’s issuance of Standard 303(b)(3) represents a pivotal shift compelling law schools to adapt their approach to the evolving needs of law students, lawyers, and the profession. The Standard serves as an invitation to re-evaluate the relationship between the primary curriculum and student support frameworks. This Article proposes a comprehensive approach to infuse professional identity development throughout the first year of law school. While professional identity development requires ongoing efforts, sometimes tailored to particular practice interests, this Article contends that all students benefit from early explicit instruction on foundational professional identity competencies. This Article first outlines the …

Determinants Of Interorganizational Employee Mobility: Systematic Literature Review, Iva Zdrilić, Petra Došenović Bonča, Darija Aleksić

Economic and Business Review

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the determinants of interorganizational employee mobility and proposes their multilevel typology across different sectors and industries. We conduct a systematic literature review of 158 papers in this field. Our results show that some determinants of employee mobility also appear as mobility effects, closing the ``determinants–interorganizational employee mobility–effects'' circle. They also show a hierarchy among mobility determinants, different types of interorganizational mobility, and different effects when mobility occurs between competing and cooperating organizations. This study primarily contributes to the career development literature, which recognizes interorganizational mobility as the primary mechanism for achieving individual work–life …

All Decisions

Petitioner filed a non-payment proceeding against a rent stabilized tenant after a rent reduction order was issued for a defective intercom system. The tenant moved to dismiss, arguing the petition and rent demand were defective for failing to reference the rent reduction order and for seeking excessive rent. The court found the petition defective, particularly for not including the rent reduction order, and granted the tenant's motion to dismiss.

Winning The Battle, Losing The War: Rahimi, Women, And The Supreme Court, Dana Raigrodski

Southern Illinois University Law Journal

Domestic violence and DV-related firearm use are a grave and persistent issue in the United States and have an extensive harmful and deadly impact in the lives of many women. In its 2024 Rahimi decision, the United States Supreme Court held that, as applied to the facts of the case, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8), which bans firearms possession by those subject to a DV protective order, is facially constitutional under the Second Amendment. The Court upheld § 922(g)(8) under Bruen’s “Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulations” test, finding that founding era laws included provisions preventing individuals who threaten physical …

Crime Or Care?: International Laws To Address “Control” In Violence Within Domestic Relationships, Pavithra Rajendran

Southern Illinois University Law Journal

Violence within domestic relationships remains a persistent form of discrimination against women. Initially characterized by overt acts such as wife-beating, contemporary manifestations include various strategies employed by men to assert dominance over their partners. In the early twenty-first century, scholars like Evan Stark sought to understand this issue through the concept of coercive control, which was later recognized as a criminal offense in the United Kingdom in 2015. Today, as digital tools and diverse relationship dynamics have become commonplace, controlling behaviors have evolved to operate independently within domestic relationships, sometimes without overt coercion. This phenomenon is currently under scrutiny by …

The Words We Choose: An Analysis Of Terms Used In Domestic Violence Law, Evan Lovell

Southern Illinois University Law Journal

In the field of domestic violence law, there is a lack of uniformity in the terms used to refer to those who harm others and those who experience that harm. This Article examines the meaning and cultural and legal prevalence of the terms: Victim, Survivor, Victim-Survivor, and Battered Wife/Spouse; and Abuser, Batterer, Perpetrator, and People who have Caused Harm, as well as Offender, Respondent, and Defendant. As an essential tool of persuasion, an analysis of these terms reveals that understanding the impact of these words is tantamount to respectful and empathetic advocacy.

The Market Value Of Partisan Balance, Brian D. Feinstein, Daniel J. Hemel

Northwestern University Law Review

For the past century, Delaware’s constitution has provided that no more than a bare majority of judges on the state’s courts may hail from the same political party. Some scholars and jurists theorize that Delaware’s commitment to a politically balanced judiciary increases the state’s attractiveness to out-of-state corporations and adds value to Delaware-chartered firms. These claims echo a larger literature in law and the social sciences positing that ideological diversity improves decisional quality. Recently, a series of federal court decisions in the case of Adams v. Carney put these claims to the test. In December 2017, a federal district court …

"I Was Young And Dumb": Why Age Should Be Considered In The Military Discharge Upgrade Process, Ashlyn Anderson-Keelin

Texas A&M Law Review

Approximately 40% of the United States military is no older than 25. Despite the robust and continued prevalence of young people serving in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force, no special consideration is explicitly given to a servicemember’s age when considering upgrades for those discharged under less-than-honorable conditions. These young people volunteer to risk their lives, expecting to be honorably discharged and eligible to receive the benefits promised to them during recruitment and enlistment; however, many instead find themselves with a less-than-honorable discharge, thereby barred from the benefits that motivated them to join in the …

The Road To Slow Deportation, Elana Fogel, Kate Evans

Duke Law Journal

Traffic stops are the most common form of police-initiated contact with members of the public. The sheer volume of traffic stops combined with their use as a pretext to surveil Black and Latiné communities has generated substantial scholarship and movements for police reform. Yet this commentary assumes that the subjects of traffic stops are U.S. citizens. At the same time, scholarship on the intersection of criminal and immigration law and the convergence of their enforcement methods focuses on traffic stops as the immediate entry point for removal proceedings. This Article addresses the gap in literature by describing the experience of …

Justice On The Home Front: Domestic Prosecution Of Foreign Combatants During Wartime, Katherine K. French

Duke Law Journal

Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine produced a shock to the world order. The conflict has led to immense suffering for the Ukrainian people, many of whom have fled their homes or are directly involved in the fighting. In some instances, the use of improper tactics by both sides exacerbates the devastation, even amounting to war crimes. Although the war rages on, justice efforts have already begun. International tribunals and foreign countries’ domestic courts have initiated investigations into alleged violations of international law and prosecutions of the perpetrators. The most significant effort, though, has been within Ukraine’s own courts. These …

Embrace The Chaos: Contributing To Experience In The Face Of Ai And Nextgen, Margaret Moore Jackson

Pace Law Review

This article asserts that the combination of AI-assisted writing tools and the immediacy of the NextGen Bar compel changes in legal education’s goals, expectations, and delivery methods. Topping off these forces, the ABA is considering increased requirements for additional experiential credits prior to graduation. These challenging mandates provide opportunities for law faculty, who can construct courses that help students learn through integrated experiential credits while promoting and spreading legal knowledge to organizations that lack legal advice.

Through the example of a Housing Discrimination course, this article demonstrates a method for constructing a course that is resigned to the presence of …

Multidisciplinarity And Interdisciplinarity In Law, Yael Efron, Yossi Korazim-Kőrösy, Mohammed S. Wattad

Cleveland State Law Review

This article aims to dismantle walls and barriers, tracking the contemporary trends in law that acknowledge the significant value of interdisciplinary cooperation. We strive to explore how collaborative contemplation on a legal issue, incorporating two or more academic and practical viewpoints, can enhance interactions across multiple disciplines, improve comprehension of intricate problems, and guide interventions. Ultimately, such collaborations can yield an innovative and synergistic knowledge base, fostering the development of new theories capable of explaining complex human phenomena from varied perspectives. These diverse vantage points are expected to generate superior and more fitting outcomes than those achievable by the field …

Smart Resolutions: Exploring The Role Of Artificial Intelligence In Alternative Dispute Resolution, Nadia Ahmad

Cleveland State Law Review

Artificial intelligence (AI) has had a significant impact on most industries, including the legal landscape. Effective AI incorporation has removed barriers to access to justice, resolving issues such as backlogged court systems and inadequate resources for pursuing claims. Similarly, the expediency and cost-effectiveness associated with alternative dispute resolution (ADR) have established ADR as a mainstay in most countries to enhance legal accessibility. It was inevitable that AI and ADR were integrated to efficiently deliver justice.

Most automated ADR systems implemented thus far have been with human intervention. As machine learning develops, there are efforts to completely automate ADR, and this …

Social Movement Lawyering And Due Process Values, Susan D. Carle

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

As I send this Essay off to the Fordham Law Review in early January 2025, many people in the United States remain in a state of shock following the recent election of Donald J. Trump to a second term as President. Theories abound as to why a person who espoused so much hate won the allegiance of a majority of American voters; some commentators have suggested that “anti-wokeism” is to blame. To be sure, the Trump campaign manipulated conservative social values to gain support. But conservative values are not necessarily anti-woke values. Ancient values oppose treating people badly and interfering …

Juris Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Machines, Garret Macko

The Business, Entrepreneurship & Tax Law Review

Despite a surplus of practicing attorneys, millions of Americans experience inadequate legal representation, demonstrating deep inefficiencies in the market for legal services. This paper explores the potential for artificial intelligence (“AI”) to expand access to justice by providing efficient and affordable solutions. Free and widely available AI-powered tools, like ChatGPT and Claude, demonstrate the capability to assist non-lawyers in tasks like drafting legal documents, conducting legal research, and resolving disputes. These tools represent a practical and economically efficient way to increase access to legal resources for underserved populations. Still, while AI offers significant promise, clear challenges exist. Issues like hallucinations—instances …
