Social Determinants Of Health And How They Affect A Small Rural Community (Case Study) Eastern Shore Of Maryland, Kristopher S. Durham, Lindsay Gietzen

Pacific Journal of Health

The Eastern Shore of Maryland is rural and is characterized by prevalent poverty, housing instability, lack of access to healthcare, chronic diseases, substance abuse, and issues with transportation to access healthcare services. The same problems exist for the population in Maryland and the United States. Understanding the challenges experienced by rural communities in Maryland is critical to addressing the vulnerable population. This study is an explanatory case study that examines the social determinants of health and how those affect small rural communities on the Eastern Shore of Maryland by examining literature published between 2016 and 2024. The literature reviewed resulted …

Rural Renting: An Empirical Portrait Of Eviction, Cassie Chambers Armstrong, Christopher J. Ryan Jr.

University of Cincinnati Law Review

In this Study, we examine eviction from the renter’s perspective. Specifically, we seek to understand what factors influence the eviction process—and the likelihood it will result in a judgment against a renter—once a property owner initiates legal proceedings. To this end, we used records from 202,572 eviction cases filed by landlords in Kentucky state courts. We employed statistical modeling to determine what impacted whether each case ultimately ended in a judgment of eviction against the renter.

Many of our findings were novel, and they were staggering. We found that, holding all else equal, those living in rural areas were at …

The Unintended Costs Of Advance Waivers Of Future Conflicts, Ashley M. London

Law Faculty Publications

The American Bar Association (“ABA”) unenthusiastically recognized advance waivers of future conflicts for the first time in a 1993 formal opinion. These allow lawyers to take on prospective clients whose interests will be adverse to current clients at some point in the future. They also sidestep the ethics rule requirement of obtaining true informed consent from a client to waive a conflict of interest because, at the time of signing, the conflict is not yet ripe. After a full-court press by its own Business Law Section Ad Hoc Committee during the Ethics 2000 Commission’s review of the Model Rules of …

575 Herkimer St. Assoc., Llc V. Forbes

All Decisions

In a non-payment case involving eight tenants, the landlord's request for direct testimony by affidavit was granted. The court ordered that both sides submit their witnesses' direct testimony through affidavits, beginning with the landlord's counsel submitting direct testimony by November 15, 2024. Objections and revisions by the tenants' counsel must follow. The court held that this procedure, while objected to by the tenants, was in line with evolving court practices to expedite proceedings and did not violate the tenants' right to a fair trial. This order aims to streamline the process while maintaining the integrity of the trial.

Dispute Settlement Mechanisms Under The Free Trade Agreement, Ton J.M. Zuijdwijk

Maine Law Review

The purpose of this paper is to review the dispute settlement mechanisms that are contained in the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement. The two countries reached agreement on the main features of the Free Trade Agreement on October 3, 1987. Thereafter, the elements of the Agreement were converted into the legal text of the Free Trade Agreement and signed by Prime Minister Mulroney and President Reagan on January 2, 1988. Legislation implementing the Free Trade Agreement has been introduced in the Parliament of Canada and in the United States Congress. In Canada the ordinary rules for legislative enactments will apply. …

All Decisions

In this nonpayment proceeding, the landlord's claim was dismissed because the tenant did not have a rental agreement at the time the case was filed. The court found that the tenant's obligations only arose after signing a lease in April 2024, making the rent demand defective. As a result, the landlord failed to establish a cause of action, and the case was dismissed.

Crime Against The Homeless Population: Barriers And Strategies From Washington, Dc Housing Services Case Managers, Stephanie Strianse

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Homelessness is a widespread concern across the United States, especially in Washington, DC. The homeless population experiences victimization at alarming rates compared to their housed counterparts; however, these instances of crime against this population are often unreported. The purpose of this generic qualitative study was to explore the barriers to reporting crime against the homeless population and the strategies to reduce those barriers from the perspective of housing services case managers in Washington, DC. Lenoir’s social exclusion theory was the theoretical framework for this study. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews with 11 housing services case managers who work with …

The Fiduciary Duty Of Combatting Global Climate Change, Sadie Mapstone

Washington and Lee Law Review Online

Ancient Roman Law codified the concept that there are certain resources that are so great and so important to human survival, that intuitively, no person should own them. Further, the government must protect these resources for the people. Today, this concept is known at the public trust doctrine. According to the contemporary doctrine, the seas, oceans, shores, and submerged lands cannot be privately owned, but shall be held in trust by the government for public use. Relying on the public trust doctrine, climate change litigants have brought a tirade of lawsuits—which have largely been unsuccessful—alleging that the government has a …

1334 B Llc V. Pritchard

All Decisions

In this holdover proceeding, the court sanctioned the landlord's attorneys for misconduct after they failed to conduct a reasonable inquiry into the tenant's status. The court found that the tenant had lived in the Rent Stabilized apartment for over 20 years and had received Section 8 benefits. The attorneys' actions, including false representations and inappropriate conduct, warranted financial penalties and a referral to the Grievance Committee.

Solicitation By Lawyers: Piercing The First Amendment Veil, Louise L. Hill

Maine Law Review

Historically, the legal profession has considered the solicitation of business inappropriate. The profession has articulated this condemnation of solicitation, which developed as a principle of good taste among a small and homogeneous group of practitioners, in the form of specific rules prohibiting its members from engaging in certain forms of conduct. In recent years, the United States Supreme Court has considered various rules that restrict the commercial speech of lawyers. Reviewing these proscriptive rules, the Court struck down categorical bans on lawyer advertising and targeted, direct mail solicitation as violative of the first amendment. Because the free flow of information …

An Appreciation Of L. Kinvin Wroth, Vincent L. Mckusick

Maine Law Review

Kinvin Wroth is a man who sports many hats. After wearing his Dean's hat for twelve years with confidence and grace, Kinvin, at the end of the year, is taking off that hat and returning to wearing full-time his wide assortment of other headgear.

Diverse Disconnectedness: Homophily, Social Capital Inequality, And Student Experiences In Law School, Anthony Paik, Swethaa Ballakrishnen, Carole Silver, Steven Boutcher, Tanya Rouleau Whitworth

Faculty Publications

Law school students are encouraged frequently to “network.” However, depending on demographic categories, they may have access to differently resourced social networks in law school. In this article, we draw from our mixed-methods research to explore this diversity of experience, its limitations of access, and the possible network inequalities that may limit the value of legal education to diverse students across different institutional contexts. Using survey and network data (N = 744), collected during the fall of 2019 from three law schools, as well as supplementary interview data (N = 55), we examined students’ social networks, the structures of these …

All Decisions

In this non-payment proceeding, the court corrected a prior error by granting Tenant's motion to reargue Judge Hahn's previous denial of the respondent's motion to dismiss. Upon reargument, this court dismissed the case based on the undisputed fact that no lease was in effect when the non-payment proceeding began, referencing Fairfield Beach 9th, LLC v. Shepard-Neely. Tenant Respondent argued that the petitioner sought rent for a period after the rent-stabilized lease had expired. While some First Department courts have indicated that a non-payment case could be maintained despite the absence of a lease at the time of commencement, Judge Tovar …
