A Fresh Look At Judicial Remedies In Eu Equality Law And Beyond: The Untapped Possibility Of Structural Injunctions., Daniel H. Halberstam, Sina Van Den Bogaert

Articles

This article proposes a shift in thinking about judicial remedies (or “sanctions”), from anti-discrimination law to equal pay and beyond.We suggest the currently preferred remedies – one-off declarations, compensation, fines, and simple orders to obey the law – may be insufficient when confronting a recalcitrant institution, complex violations, and broad, ongoing harm. In such cases, we suggest considering a remedy long overlooked in Europe: a “structural injunction”, i.e. ordering changes to an offending organization’s structure, processes, or rules. We argue that under certain circumstances, an injunction, including a structural injunction, may be appropriate or required under EU law to remedy …

The False Promise Of Rescheduling, Robert A. Mikos

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Over the past fifty years, marijuana advocates invested considerable effort trying to reschedule the drug under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Multiple times, they pe- titioned the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to take marijuana off the highly re- strictive Schedule I and move it to one of the statute's less tightly regulated Schedules (II- V) or even deschedule the drug altogether. Along the way, they waged protracted legal battles with the agency over the tests and processes it uses for scheduling decisions. How- ever, advocates had very little to show for all their efforts. The DEA rejected every petition to …

Emergency Powers For Good, Elena Chachko, Katerina Linos

William & Mary Law Review

Emergency powers are widely, and justly, criticized as threats to the rule of law. In the United States, forty-three declared emergencies give the executive vast authority to exercise power unencumbered by standard legal and procedural requirements. A long tradition of executive use of emergency powers to erode civil liberties amplifies fears of executive overreach.

Yet this, we argue, is only part of the picture. We examine how emergency powers can be used for good. We argue that under certain limited conditions, political actors can legitimately invoke emergency powers to transform public policy. In addition to widely accepted requirements of crisis …

Dentistry And The Law: Update On The Ftc’S Rule Banning Covenants Not To Compete, Daniel Schulte Jd

The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association

The Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Final Rule to ban most employee non-compete agreements, originally set to take effect on September 4, 2024, has been delayed due to ongoing litigation. Court decisions in Pennsylvania and Texas have resulted in conflicting rulings regarding the FTC's authority to enforce such a ban. A Pennsylvania district court upheld the FTC's power to regulate non-compete agreements, while a Texas court ruled against it, declaring the ban arbitrary and capricious. No appeals have been filed yet, and the issue remains unresolved, with potential appellate court decisions and the results of the presidential election likely influencing the …

Clinics And Emergencies, Elizabeth Keyes, Sabrina Balgamwalla

All Faculty Scholarship

Clinical programs—and the clinicians who run them—are regularly called upon to respond to emergency situations. These engagements can be rewarding, personally and professionally. But, as we know from our own work as immigration clinicians, emergency lawyering also presents pressure points for clinicians. Our hope in writing this article is to surface and critique the dynamics that arise when clinicians are called upon to engage in emergency work. Specifically, we aim to expand on the literature of clinics and emergency responses by reflecting on the ways in which emergency responses have drawn significant energy and time from clinicians, including ourselves. As …

#Arewametoo: Localized Resistance To The Abuse Of Women In Northern Nigeria, Ololade Afolabi, Hauwa Nuhu Shaffi

Journal of International Women's Studies

This article explores the development of the #ArewaMeToo movement in Northern Nigeria. The study is contextualized within the theory of transnational feminism to argue that digital practices among non-Western women are more than merely a technological advancement and are significantly attuned to the socio-political climate of their societies. Therefore, as the #MeToo movement which began in the West goes global, women in Northern Nigerian have found a space to effect social change by resisting socio-cultural practices that challenge their social agency. Using the interview method, we articulate the uniqueness of #ArewaMeToo as a movement that is rooted in specific sociocultural …

Consulting Ss, Inc. V. Faison

All Decisions

AT2 consolidated three appeals by the same landlord, who sought to evict tenants from a basement apartment and two SRO units, claiming the building was a two-family dwelling and not rent-stabilized. Each tenant argued the building had seven residential units—one apartment and six SROs—making it subject to rent stabilization. The lower court agreed with the tenants, granting summary judgment due to the landlord's failure to serve required statutory termination notices. The Appellate Term affirmed, ruling that the building’s rent stabilization status depends on the units’ function as residences, regardless of their legality under a certificate of occupancy.

Mental Health During The Covid-19 Pandemic In Trinidad: An Analysis Of Depression, Anxiety, And Stress Among Essential Workers, Bernadette Marson, Gerard A. Hutchinson

Journal of Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences

Research shows that some essential workers, such as healthcare workers, social workers, and first responders (including police officers, paramedics, and firefighters), are at greater risk for developing both short- and long-term mental health problems (Berger et al., 2012; Canady, 2022; Grey et al., 2020; Haugen et al., 2012; Mohamed et al., 2022; Petrie et al., 2018). The most prevalent of these include anxiety, depression, and stress, as well as other social and cognitive problems—with stress causing harmful effects on mental health and potentially resulting in anxiety and depression, which may then disrupt an individual’s social relationships, family life, and work. …

(Un)Necessary Evils?: Ethical And Emotional Conflicts For Social Change Lawyers In Canada, Marina Francesca Mckenzie

LLM Theses

This thesis concerns an exploratory study about “social change” lawyers in Canada. Based on qualitative interviews, I aim to provide a modest but in-depth examination of the experiences and practical challenges these lawyers face in their work and how they navigate them. I find their approaches are divided between external and internal, both of which are affected by lawyers’ positionalities and experiences. “External approaches” concern how they reconcile conflicts in their values and responsibilities to different groups—namely individuals, communities and social movements—with each other, and with their obligations to the legal profession. Meanwhile, “internal approaches” concern how they navigate conflicting …

All Decisions

The landlord, Hull Unique Equities LLC, initiated a holdover proceeding against the tenant, Tyiesha Boone, seeking to recover the premises located at 2350 Pacific Street, Apt 3, Brooklyn, NY 11233. The tenant responded by moving to dismiss the case on the grounds that the landlord had failed to comply with New York's Limited Liability Company Law §206(a) by not publishing its articles of organization within 120 days of its formation. The court granted the tenant's motion, dismissing the case without prejudice and finding that the landlord's failure to comply with the LLC Law was a fatal defect that could not …

178 E. 70th St. Llc V. Woodward

All Decisions

In this non-primary residence holdover case, the landlord sought to evict the tenant of record. The tenant's son asserted succession rights and ultimately prevailed after a 14-year legal battle. The court dismissed the eviction proceeding, recognizing the son's right to succeed to the tenancy. Subsequently, the son sought attorney's fees as the prevailing party. The court awarded $53,145 in attorney's fees and costs, including fees for the son's pro se work at a paralegal rate. This decision notably allows for attorney's fees to be awarded to a successful pro se litigant in a housing court case.

No. 02: Impacts Of Covid-19 Policy Measures On Migration And Food Security In Ecuador, Mercedes Eguiguren, Cheryl Martens

Migration and Food Security (MiFOOD) Network

The COVID-19 pandemic had profound effects on Ecuador, exacerbated by pre-existing weaknesses in the public health system, economic austerity policies, and social inequalities. The reliance on containment measures, combined with insufficient social support, resulted in severe economic and social decline. Migrants, already a vulnerable group, were further marginalized during the pandemic, facing exclusion from social protection programs and increased food insecurity. This report examines the impacts of COVID-19 policy measures on migration and food security in Ecuador, focusing on urban contexts, particularly the capital city of Quito. The findings underscore the need for more integrated research and policy approaches that …
