Bridging The Gap To Every American: How A National Regulatory Sandbox Can Prompt Radical Collaboration To Adopt Legal Artificial Intelligence Tools, Samuel Hoy Brown Vii

Georgia State University Law Review

The United States of America is at a crossroads. The foundational promises of the American dream—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—have been thrust into public pessimism as the nation’s most economically vulnerable populations find themselves outsiders in their own communities, unable to access the legal tools and services required to resolve even the most rudimentary of legal disputes. In the wake of groundbreaking studies by the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System and the American Bar Association’s Commission on the Future of Legal Services, the need for alternative legal service providers is more prevalent than ever. …

A(I)Ccess To Justice: How Ai And Ethics Opinions Approving Limited Scope Representation Support Legal Market Consolidation, Hon. C. Scott Maravilla

Georgia State University Law Review

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing our society and bringing the legal profession with it. The use of Generative AI (GenAI) in legal proceedings has received negative publicity from high profile mishaps in court filings. In one case, attorneys used the publicly available online GenAI tool, ChatGPT, to write a legal brief in which ChatGPT proceeded to make up its own citations. Following this, among other instances of the misuse of GenAI, courts have begun to require disclosures and limit the use of GenAI technology. These prohibitions, however, are the result of a fundamental misunderstanding of the appropriate use of GenAI …

Google Searching For The Truth: Examining The Admissibility Of Internet Search History, Chisup Kim

Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts

The internet has become more ubiquitously available than ever before, with search engines serving as the portals to an unparalleled amount of information. As a byproduct of this phenomenon, a vast amount of internet search history has also begun to enter legal proceedings as evidence. The most intimate questions that defendants have asked their search engines have begun to be examined under the scope of the Federal Rules of Evidence or a state equivalent. This Comment examines the admissibility of internet search history and provides a general legal framework based on the Federal Rules of Evidence. Drawing upon six cases, …

College of Science and Health Theses and Dissertations

Civil protective orders (CPOs) are one of the most utilized legal remedies that exist for sexual assault survivors. While they are available for every survivor in Illinois, a survivor’s community context can impact their experience petitioning for a CPO. Prior research with domestic violence survivors suggests that the rurality and urbanicity of a community may impact a sexual assault survivors experiences seeking a CPO, but little research has been conducted with sexual assault survivors specifically. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of rape crisis center advocates from rural and urban counties across the state of Illinois …

309e75 Stone Llc V. Ramos

All Decisions

The landlord commenced a non-payment proceeding against the tenant based on the tenant's alleged default on rent for a market rate apartment. The tenant argued that the apartment was illegally deregulated and the landlord is charging an illegal rent. The court granted the tenant's motion for discovery to allow them to investigate their claims. The court also denied the landlord's motions to strike the tenant's defenses and for summary judgment. The court found that there are triable issues of fact concerning the apartment's regulatory status and fraud.

Identity Shifting Behaviors, Perceptions Of Diversity, And Perceived Discrimination In South Asian Employees, Himali Bhandari

College of Science and Health Theses and Dissertations

Workplace discrimination is a significant issue in the workplace for minority racial and ethnic groups, especially for South Asian employees in the US. This study investigated the relationship between perceived workplace diversity climate and identity shifting behaviors (manifestation and suppression behaviors of group identity) that South Asian employees might display at work. Furthermore, it was also expected that perceptions of racial discrimination experiences would mediate this relationship. It was hypothesized that perceived diversity climate will be negatively related to suppression behaviors and positively related manifestation behaviors, mediated by perceptions of racial discrimination. Participants were recruited from social media, Prolific, and …

Advancing The Due Process Right To Appointed Counsel In Immigration Removal Proceedings, Chloe Schalit

Refugee Law & Migration Studies Brief

Right now, noncitizens only have the right to an attorney if they can afford one. While courts have grappled with the inherent due process issue accompanying this standard, no court has held that noncitizens have the right to a government- appointed attorney. This paper promotes the provision of government-appointed attorneys to noncitizens in removal proceedings in immigration court under a due process lens. This paper will first briefly examine the difference between criminal and civil matters related to the Sixth Amendment right to an appointed attorney. Next, the paper will engage in a Fifth Amendment due process analysis, ultimately concluding …

Human Rights In Texas: Analyzing Operation Lone Star Through A Human Rights Framework, Olivia S. Callan

Duke Journal of Comparative & International Law

In 2021, Texas Governor Greg Abbott launched Operation Lone Star (OLS) under the guise of border security. For over three years, OLS has threatened the lives of migrants and U.S. citizens alike. While advocates have primarily challenged OLS under U.S. state and federal law, this Note examines arguments based on the U.S.'s international treaty obligations, particularly emphasizing the importance of enforcing international mechanisms of accountability. This Note analyzes OLS under three international law treaties the U.S. has ratified: the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the …

The eldercaring coordinator works with legally-authorized decision-makers and other participants to resolve disputes related to an elderly person’s safety and autonomy. The United Nations recognizes eldercaring coordination as an Action Model for …

All Decisions

Landlord commenced a non-payment proceeding against a rent-controlled tenant. Tenant moved to dismiss based on rent-impairing violations and harassment. Court granted tenant's motion, finding rent-impairing violations existed for over a year, and landlord failed to correct them. The court granted a 100% rent abatement from October 2019 to June 2023 due to these violations. Court also found evidence of harassment based on landlord's repeated failure to correct the roof leak and imposed a $10,000 penalty. Landlord's prior squatter holdover proceedings were deemed not to constitute harassment.
