Protection From Warlords & Celebrities: How Anti-Slapp Legislation Is Making International Headway To Protect Free Speech, Olivia Augustat

The International Law Review Association Student Forum

Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) are increasingly being used by powerful individuals and entities to silence dissent and criticism, posing a significant threat to free speech globally. This misuse of legal systems undermines democratic principles by intimidating those who speak out on matters of public interest. My paper argues for the urgent need for effective Anti-SLAPP legislation, focusing on a comparative analysis of the U.S. and European Union (EU) approaches. While the U.S. has a fragmented but largely pro-defendant framework, the EU is moving toward an arguably vaguer but more unified, cross-border solution. This paper takes a unique approach …

The Status Of Status Research: A Review Of The Types, Functions, Levels And Audiences, Matteo Prato, Gokhan Ertug, Fabrizio Castellucci, Tengjian Zou

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Our review of 154 articles published over the last decade portrays an evolution of status research. This body of literature has transitioned from viewing status as a monolithic construct to appreciating its inherently multidimensional nature, characterized by diverse types, functions, levels, and audience structures. Although this shift has expanded our knowledge, it has also introduced increased complexity and fragmentation. To systematize this scattered work on a multifaceted view of status, we develop a comprehensive framework that integrates the diverse research findings. For each constituent part of this framework, we review key themes and insights in the literature and outline future …

Civil Engineering

Assessment of Pollution Sources for the Lake Burullus Influent Drains at the North of Egypt.

Tenants’ Right To Counsel: Los Angeles Should Follow New York City’S Lead, Jacklyn Hadzicki

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

Cities around the nation are facing housing shortages as the costs of homes soar and the supply of affordable rentals continue to decline. Rental costs severely burden American households, as “almost half of renter households (21.6 million) spend more than 30 percent of their income on rent and 11.6 million households spend more than 50 percent of their income on rent.“ Additionally, 44 percent of rental households have reported “feeling pressure” to move from their homes for a range of reasons, including increased rent, inflation, power imbalances with their landlords, lack of repairs, and threats of eviction.

Answering The Call From Victims Of Dating Violence: Georgia’S New Dating Violence Law, Sydney K. Parish

Georgia Criminal Law Review

Dating violence is a topic that has garnered increased awareness in recent days, both in the media and in the legal field. Many states have begun to pass legislation in attempt to address this issue and provide relief for victims of dating violence. In the summer of 2021, the state of Georgia passed House Bill 231, what later became known as Georgia’s Dating Violence law. This Article first examines our nation’s history of intimate partner violence to show why dating violence legislation was so desperately needed and how these legislative reforms have attempted to heal a system that for so …

Bertie V. Norman

All Decisions

The landlord brought a holdover proceeding to evict the tenant, claiming the lease had expired. The tenant argued that the building was rent-stabilized because there were once two illegal basement apartments. The court found in favor of the tenant, reasoning that violations issued by the Department of Buildings documenting the existence of two basement apartments constituted unrebutted evidence, and that the landlord failed to disprove their existence. Since the building had more than four apartments, rent stabilization applied to all units.

All Decisions

In this non-payment proceeding for a rent-stabilized unit, the court granted the tenant's motion to dismiss the petition pursuant to CPLR 4401 after the landlord rested its case at trial. The landlord alleged the unit was deregulated due to high rent vacancy, but failed to prove deregulation despite bearing the burden. The only evidence offered was speculative testimony about alleged renovations from a witness lacking personal knowledge, and DHCR rent registration records which expressly disclaimed attesting to the truthfulness of the registered rents. The court found this evidence insufficient as a matter of law to establish deregulation, an element of …

An Economic Advocacy Approach To Empower Rural Victims Of Gender-Based Violence: A Review Of The Literature, Loganne Ditter, Ziwei Qi

Academic Leadership Journal in Student Research

Gender-based violence (GBV) has devastating effects on survivors’ mental, emotional, psychological, physical, and financial well-being. In rural communities, cultural stigma, isolation, lack of services, economic deprivation, and poverty can create additional barriers for survivors to seek help and leave their abusive relationships. Economic advocacy is a survivor-centered approach that addresses poverty and economic insecurity in ending GBV and empowers individuals and communities with the necessary resources and skills. In this review article, the researchers aim to identify survivors’ unique challenges in rural communities, especially in economic hardship and financially dire situations. While the empirical research examined in this review has …

All Decisions

In this nonpayment proceeding against a rent-stabilized tenant, the tenant moved for a stay pursuant to RPAPL § 755 due to a vacate order issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development after a fire in the building. The court granted the tenant's motion, holding that the vacate order constructively evicted the tenant, triggering RPAPL § 755(1)(a). Contrary to the landlord's argument, the court ruled that the tenant was not required to deposit all rent arrears under RPAPL § 755(2), but only the monthly rent. The court directed the tenant to pay the $1 monthly rent set by DHCR …

"The Very Finest Place On Earth": Governor Leroy Collins And The Promise Of Opportunity, George B. Crawford

Florida Historical Quarterly

LeRoy Collins' tenure as Governor of Florida (1955-1961) has drawn substantial attention from successive generations ofhistorians and journalists. Most studies of his leadership emphasize his efforts to push for a revision of the state's 1885 Constitution, give urban residents an equitable voice in the legislature and, eventually, reject racial subordination. These appraisals also accent his implementation of improvements in the administration of state government. Collins' success in winning the office with votes from city residents and, gradually, Black Floridians presaged a revolution in the exercise of political power in the state. The combined emergence of these constituencies would make possible …

Then They Came For Us: Access To Justice Harm And Opportunity For Our Transgender And Nonbinary Youth, Sarah Steadman

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

Transgender and nonbinary youth are under legislative and political siege as the latest victims in our nation’s culture wars. They are acutely aware of the hostility towards their existence and best interests, damaging their often already precarious well-being. There is a concerning risk they will associate biased and antagonistic lawmakers with our entire legal system, including legal service providers. Fear of encountering discrimination and bias leads targeted individuals to avoid accessing services. I fear that means too many among this generation transgender and nonbinary youth may avoid addressing their legal health needs as they age.

Consequently, the legal profession must …

140-60 Beech, Llc V. Madan

All Decisions

In a Holdover-Breach of Lease case in the Civil Court of the City of New York, Queens County, 140-60 Beech, LLC sought to enforce a provision in the lease requiring air conditioning units to be installed in a wall sleeve rather than a window. The tenant argued that the landlord waived its right to enforce this provision by allowing the window unit for nearly 25 years. The court agreed with the tenant, finding that the landlord's inaction constituted a waiver of its right to enforce the provision. The court granted the tenant's motion for partial summary judgment, dismissing the petition …

Signs, Gateways, And Landscaping … Oh My!, George Mccue, Dimas Prasetya

Purdue Road School

Cities and towns want to welcome highway travelers with gateway signs or aesthetics. Whether that’s part of a road project or a standalone proposal, a key to proper planning is understanding safety-based limitations on what can be placed on state ROW and where. Even off- ROW, there are laws governing nearby visible signage. We’ll cover INDOT’s Public Art and Landscaping Policy, FHWA’s role, and the federal Highway Beautification Act.
