Taking On The Ethical Obligation Of Technology Competency In The Academy: An Empirical Analysis Of Practice-Based Technology Training Today, Jessica De Perio Wittman Jan 2023

Taking On The Ethical Obligation Of Technology Competency In The Academy: An Empirical Analysis Of Practice-Based Technology Training Today, Jessica De Perio Wittman

Faculty Articles and Papers

Today's lawyers must be technologically competent, per Model Rule of Professional Conduct 1.1. Law schools and law firms were keenly aware of this expectation and summarily responded. While law firms offered more professional development opportunities, law schools began offering various courses focusing on technology skills. These courses have increased and evolved over time as the curriculum has changed with the technology. First, we present the evolution of ethical requirements surrounding legal technology competency and offer a description of the lawyering competency models most discussed today. We then review data about technology trends at the most innovative law firms and examine …


Ousting Heirs: Amending Florida's Adverse Possession Statute To Remedy The State's Heirs' Property Problem, Kathryn Pope Jan 2023

Ousting Heirs: Amending Florida's Adverse Possession Statute To Remedy The State's Heirs' Property Problem, Kathryn Pope

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

When people die intestate, their real property is distributed to their heirs based on the state’s default intestacy laws, which can result in the creation of “heirs’ property,” a unique form of tenancy in common ownership. Heirs’ property presents challenges such as highly fractionated ownership and cloudy title, making it challenging for cotenants to sell or improve the property. The situation is exacerbated when the property is passed down with clouded title, as each heir equally owns a share of the property and must agree on all major decisions affecting the property. Florida’s current law presumes that the possession of …

Nonjudicial Punishment, Frank Rosenblatt Jan 2023

Nonjudicial Punishment, Frank Rosenblatt

Journal Articles

In the civilian world, the dispensation of punishment is reserved for judicial tribunals. Not so in the military justice systems of the United States and other nations. There, nonlawyer military leaders administer so-called “nonjudicial punishment” to address minor offenses in the ranks. Nonjudicial punishment, despite a long and sometimes bloody history, has survived efforts to modernize military justice. In fact, it has flourished: today it is the predominant form of military justice in the United States, outnumbering courts-martial nearly twenty to one. This Article analyzes the features and purposes of this unique punishment regime. The Article argues that nonjudicial punishment …


A Phenomenological Study: Examining Resilience In Native American Women Who Witnessed Domestic Violence In Childhood And Experienced Domestic Violence In Adulthood, Arial T Swallow Jan 2023

A Phenomenological Study: Examining Resilience In Native American Women Who Witnessed Domestic Violence In Childhood And Experienced Domestic Violence In Adulthood, Arial T Swallow

Dissertations and Theses

Domestic violence has significant acute and long-lasting harmful effects on the well-being of women from all backgrounds with higher rates of psychological effects in ethnic minority populations. Native American women experience domestic violence at disproportionate rates and face unique barriers in overcoming challenges of healing from domestic violence. Even though the impact of domestic violence in children and adults is well-studied, research in rural and Native American populations is scarce. Women who have witnessed or experienced domestic violence in childhood have identified challenges and strengths and developed coping strategies to help them endure and adapt to surviving domestic violence in …


Gender Violence As A Penalty Of Poverty, Deborah M. Weissman Jan 2023

Gender Violence As A Penalty Of Poverty, Deborah M. Weissman

Faculty Publications

The matter of gender violence, including intimate partner violence (IPV), has long been categorized as a particularly egregious crime. The consequences of IPV are profound and affect all members of the household, family members near and far, and the communities where they live. Gender violence impacts the national economy. Costs accrue to workplaces, health care institutions, and encumber local and state coffers. Survivors are deprived of income, property, and economic stability: conditions that often endure beyond periods of physical injuries. Offenders also experience economic hardship as a result of involvement with the legal system. They often face significant obstacles when …

Bottom-Rung Appeals, Merritt E. Mcalister Jan 2023

Bottom-Rung Appeals, Merritt E. Mcalister

UF Law Faculty Publications

There are haves and have-nots in the federal appellate courts, and the haves get more attention. For decades the courts have used a triage regime where they distribute judicial attention selectively: some appeals receive a lot of judicial attention, some appeals receive barely any. What this work unearths is that this triage system produces demonstrably unequal results depending on the circuit handling the appeal and whether the appellant has counsel or not. Together, these two factors produce dramatic disparities: in one circuit, for example, an unrepresented appellant receives, on average, a decision less than a tenth the length of a …


On Fires, Floods, And Federalism, Andrew Hammond Jan 2023

On Fires, Floods, And Federalism, Andrew Hammond

UF Law Faculty Publications

In the United States, law condemns poor people to their fates in states. Where Americans live continues to dictate whether they can access cash, food, and medical assistance. What’s more, immigrants, territorial residents, and tribal members encounter deteriorated corners of the American welfare state. Nonetheless, despite repeated retrenchment efforts, this patchwork of programs has proven remarkably resilient. Yet, the ability of the United States to meet its people’s most basic needs now faces an unprecedented challenge: climate change. As extreme weather events like wildfires and hurricanes become more frequent and more intense, these climate-fueled disasters will displace and impoverish more …


Admission Timing, Age, Sex, Pain, And Disability As Outcome Predictors Of Short-Term Pain Programs, Nanesha Courtney Jan 2023

Admission Timing, Age, Sex, Pain, And Disability As Outcome Predictors Of Short-Term Pain Programs, Nanesha Courtney

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Researchers have found that age, sex, education level, and pretreatment pain levels may be significant predictors of patient outcomes; however, it remained unknown whether the timing of treatment predicts pain and disability after a multidisciplinary short-term intensive pain treatment program. The purpose of this quantitative nonexperimental study was to use archival data to examine whether the timing of entry into a multidisciplinary short-term intensive pain treatment program predicted pain and functioning levels at posttreatment. Glasser’s choice theory was used to examine whether the combined effect of pretreatment pain, occupational disability level, age, sex, education level, and time of entrance predicted …


Exploring Strategies To Protect Nonprofit Organizations’ Assets From Fraud, Georjean W. Trinkle Jan 2023

Exploring Strategies To Protect Nonprofit Organizations’ Assets From Fraud, Georjean W. Trinkle

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Community action agencies serve low-income individuals, families, and communities. Community action agencies may be at risk of fraud if they do not have board members with the knowledge to implement effective governance strategies to protect the organization's assets from fraud. Grounded in agency theory, the purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore effective governance strategies that some community action board members use to protect their organization's assets from fraud. The participants were three board members of two community action agencies in New Jersey who implemented effective governance strategies to protect the organization's assets from fraud. Data were …

Scotus On Immigration: A Review Of Recent Decisions & What's To Come

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The symposium discusses recent Supreme Court decisions on immigration, focusing on cases that address issues such as mandatory detention, limits on judicial review, and the expansion of executive discretion. These rulings have significant implications for immigration law and practice, particularly in areas of detention, due process, and the ability of federal courts to review immigration-related decisions.


The Foundation Of The Theory Of Law And Business, James E. Holloway Professor (Retired) Jan 2023

The Foundation Of The Theory Of Law And Business, James E. Holloway Professor (Retired)

American University Business Law Review

This Article consists of eight parts explaining the explanatory, analytical, and methodological nature of the jurisprudential foundation and its ability to enable and support the theory of law and business in ascertaining and understanding legality, illegality, normative values, and the impact of law on business.

Public Perceptions Of Exonerees’ Deservingness Of Compensation And Expungement, Elizabeth Jeanne Lopez Jan 2023

Public Perceptions Of Exonerees’ Deservingness Of Compensation And Expungement, Elizabeth Jeanne Lopez

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

To date, over 3,300 people in the United States have been wrongly convicted and exonerated for crimes they did not commit. This issue warrants immediate attention and reform. Sadly, many exonerees struggle to receive compensation for their wrongful convictions and have the wrongful convictions expunged from their criminal records. Researchers have begun to examine this complex issue by studying a range of topics regarding wrongful convictions and exonerees. However, little research has focused on factors that influence public perceptions of exonerees and their deservingness of both compensation and expungement. To address this gap in the literature, the current study used …


Chatgpt, Esq.: Recasting Unauthorized Practice Of Law In The Era Of Generative Ai, Joseph J. Avery, Patricia S. Abril, Alissa Del Riego Jan 2023

Chatgpt, Esq.: Recasting Unauthorized Practice Of Law In The Era Of Generative Ai, Joseph J. Avery, Patricia S. Abril, Alissa Del Riego

Articles

In March of 2023, OpenAI released GPT-4, an autoregressive language model that uses deep learning to produce text. GPT-4 has unprecedented ability to practice law: drafting briefs and memos, plotting litigation strategy, and providing general legal advice. However, scholars and practitioners have yet to unpack the implications of large language models, such as GPT-4, for long-standing bar association rules on the unauthorized practice of law ("UPL"). The intersection of large language models with UPL raises manifold issues, including those pertaining to important and developing jurisprudence on free speech, antitrust, occupational licensing, and the inherent-powers doctrine. How the intersection is navigated, …


Do Lawyers Inhibit Economic Growth? New Evidence From The 50 U.S. States, James V. Koch, Richard J. Cebula Jan 2023

Do Lawyers Inhibit Economic Growth? New Evidence From The 50 U.S. States, James V. Koch, Richard J. Cebula

Economics Faculty Publications

Whether the activities of lawyers might hamper economic growth has been hotly contested over the past three decades. Contradictory conclusions have flowed from evidence that typically has focused on the impact of lawyers on the growth rates of countries. Disputes over definitions and samples that vary among countries have colored portions of these debates. We surmount many of these issues by adopting a 50-state panel covering the period 2005-2018 for the United States and by utilizing widely accepted variables regarding economic activity and who is considered a lawyer. Further, we utilize two distinct measures of the activity of lawyers and …

Systemic Stewardship With Tradeoffs, Marcel Kahan, Edward B. Rock Jan 2023

Systemic Stewardship With Tradeoffs, Marcel Kahan, Edward B. Rock

Faculty Articles

Many have started to look to the corporate sector to control carbon emissions, mitigate climate change, and redress other problems. But any serious effort to control carbon emissions (or other problems) will have winners and losers: companies that will benefit from reduction; and companies that will bear the brunt of mitigation efforts. In particular, concentrated carbon emitters, such as oil exploration and production companies, are likely to suffer. If so, who will force the carbon emitters to cut their carbon output? Who will be the agents of change in the corporate sector? In recent years, the proponents of a corporate-focused …
