August Vollmer, Traffic In Women, And The Theory Of Organized Crime, Paul Knepper Jul 2022

August Vollmer, Traffic In Women, And The Theory Of Organized Crime, Paul Knepper

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

During the 1920s, the League of Nations carried out the first intercontinental investigation into the traffic in women. Although this work is virtually unknown in criminology, the investigators, William Snow and Bascom Johnson, formulated the conceptual language of “trafficking” used today. It was also during the 1920s that Frederick Thrasher and John Landesco published their pioneering works on “organized crime” drawing on research in Chicago. The advantages of the League’s model can be seen in the response to a 1924 report of a white slave traffic ring in Los Angeles by August Vollmer, the celebrated founder of professionalism in American …


Artificial Bias: The Ethical Concerns Of Ai-Driven Dispute Resolution In Family Matters, Wensdai Brooks Jul 2022

Artificial Bias: The Ethical Concerns Of Ai-Driven Dispute Resolution In Family Matters, Wensdai Brooks

Journal of Dispute Resolution

From the global positioning systems (GPS) that guide our morning commute to the more complex machine learning systems used to build Spotify’s curation algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a central part of the way that society functions efficiently. AI has become increasingly integrated into our daily lives, permeating consumer and corporate worlds alike. Despite a reputation for being slow to adopt new technology, the legal field has been particularly forward in embracing the use of AI to increase docket speeds, optimize case management, and fill gaps in access to justice. An impressive array of programs now exists, creating a …

Mandating Early Neutral Evaluations: Efficient Or Excessive?, William J. Baker Jun 2022

Mandating Early Neutral Evaluations: Efficient Or Excessive?, William J. Baker

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

This paper explores whether mandating alternative dispute resolution (ADR), specifically in the form of early neutral evaluations (ENEs), actually improves efficiency in federal courts. This paper attempts to challenge and test the presumption that ADR inherently promotes efficiency in all civil cases. Part I introduces the reader to ENEs, ADR, their presence in federal courts, and efficiency’s role within this framework. Part II challenges the notion that ADR and efficiency are inherently linked, and asks whether mandating ENEs can prove if this inherent efficiency exists. Part III presents the legal theory that addresses this question, tending to support the notion …


Designing Responsive Legal Systems: A Comparative Study, Nofit Amir, Michal Alberstein Jun 2022

Designing Responsive Legal Systems: A Comparative Study, Nofit Amir, Michal Alberstein

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

The drive for efficiency has caused many legal systems to redesign themselves, creating multiple paths for dispute resolution and incorporating settlement-promoting tools into the judicial role. However, as this study shows, legal systems have taken divergent approaches as they redesign themselves to accommodate settlement practices, leading to widely disparate results. This study probes the paths taken by three countries’ legal systems—England and Wales (common law), Israel (mixed), and Italy (continental law)—drawing on court docket analyses, courtroom observations, and interviews with judges in the three legal systems. It uncovers central points of divergence—emphasized stage of dispute resolution, separation vs. combination of …

Saying The Quiet Parts Out Loud: Teaching Students How Law School Works, Alexa X. Chew, Rachel Gurvich Jun 2022

Saying The Quiet Parts Out Loud: Teaching Students How Law School Works, Alexa X. Chew, Rachel Gurvich

Nebraska Law Review

The summer of 2020 was an inflection point for legal education’s relationship with racial and other inequities. After Minneapolis police murdered George Floyd, faculty, administrators, and students spoke out with increased urgency about the need to address race in law school curricula. For example, professors sought to give race context to cases found in law school casebooks by not presenting judicial opinions as neutral statements of the law. Many law schools, including our own, formally (re)dedicated themselves to helping students recognize and analyze structural inequalities and how the law perpetuates them. Law schools focused on what their faculty and graduates …

In Celebration Of Morrissey V. Brewer At Fifty: A Surprising University Of Nebraska College Of Law Back Story To The Prisoners’ Rights Due Process Landmark, Russell E. Lovell Ii

Nebraska Law Review

The year 2022 will be the fiftieth anniversary of the Supreme Court’s 1972 landmark prisoners’ rights case, Morrissey v. Brewer.1 Morrissey was a Fourteenth Amendment due process challenge involving an Iowan whose parole was revoked without a hearing.2 But long before Mr. Morrissey was in prison, a legislative internship at the University of Nebraska College of Law (Nebraska Law) in 1968 got me involved in researching and drafting the Nebraska Treatment and Corrections Act of 1969, including state parole law. The one area of parole law not reformed by the new legislation was parole revocation, a shortcoming that was the …

Florida's Foreign Legal Consultancy Rule: A Potential Threat To The Public, Julie Page Fallon

Florida Journal of International Law

The State of Florida recently adopted the Foreign Legal Consultancy Rule. The Foreign Legal Consultancy Rule enables foreign, lawyers in Florida to advise on the laws of the country where they were admitted to practice law. Although the Rule is beneficial to Florida’s business and legal communities, this note suggests that the Rule, as it stands, poses a threat to the public.

Part II of this note discusses the history of the Foreign Legal Consultancy Rule. Part III presents Florida’s Foreign Legal Consultancy Rule. The body of the Rule is similar to other foreign consultancy rules adopted by other states. …

Transnational Legal Practice In A North American Common Market, Cheryl Lynn Virta

Florida Journal of International Law

This comment discusses the possibility of attorneys practicing transnational law, without the normal barriers, in a North American Common Market (NACM). In particular, this article discusses the possibility of Canada, Mexico and the United States liberalizing their rules on who may practice law within their borders upon the creation of a NACM. Additionally, this article explores problems of international practice which attorneys in the European Community (EC) encounter and suggests an alternative solution to the EC model for including legal services as part of a NACM.

What Legal Design Could Be: Towards An Expanded Practice Of Inquiry, Critique, And Action, Dan Jackson, Jules Rochielle Sievert, Miso Kim, Sankalp Bhatnagar Jun 2022

What Legal Design Could Be: Towards An Expanded Practice Of Inquiry, Critique, And Action, Dan Jackson, Jules Rochielle Sievert, Miso Kim, Sankalp Bhatnagar

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Our theme track call for papers invited contributions that explore the role of designers in advancing legal design as an expanded practice of inquiry, critique, and action. Our core motivation for this theme track is our vision for a baseline world where everyone possesses agency to use the law and is equipped to both assert legal rights and question or change the role that law has in and on our lives. We are here deliberately challenging the emerging norms of legal design practice and theory because we feel achieving universal legal agency will entail working with a different attitude toward …


Locked Down With Abusers: Designing For The Dignity And Autonomy Of Domestic Violence Survivors During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Miso Kim, Dan Jackson, Jules Sievert, Morgan Wilson Jun 2022

Locked Down With Abusers: Designing For The Dignity And Autonomy Of Domestic Violence Survivors During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Miso Kim, Dan Jackson, Jules Sievert, Morgan Wilson

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The COVID-19 pandemic and national quarantine requirements exacerbated domestic violence, as survivors had to stay at home with their abusers with limited access to communication channels or resources for help. In this project, a team of lawyers, designers, and technologists collaborated to assist a domestic violence clinic at a law school to design services to help student attorneys and advocates to better connect with domestic violence survivors who sought legal help during the pandemic. The aim of this service was to support the domestic violence survivors with remote assistance, such as remote intake, a safe means of collecting information, and …


What Legal Design Is As Opposed To Could/Should Be, Sankalp Bhatnagar Jun 2022

What Legal Design Is As Opposed To Could/Should Be, Sankalp Bhatnagar

DRS Biennial Conference Series

How come legal designers keep relying on design things that make change appear possible when we know that legal things are more reliable at making change actually possible? We argue for an understanding of what legal design is as opposed to could / should be in terms of actual change (sensed as changes of a world) and the appearance of change (sensed as changed in the world). We describe what things and background practices are and do, what design things and legal things are and do, and what designers and lawyers or judges are and tend to do. We conclude …


Disciplinarity And The Modes Of Legal Design, Michael Doherty Jun 2022

Disciplinarity And The Modes Of Legal Design, Michael Doherty

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper examines the emerging field of Legal Design through a critical reflection on the literature on academic disciplines and disciplinarity and argues that Legal Design does meet the criteria for recognition as an emerging academic sub-discipline. Its central contention is that Legal Design academics (together with their collaborative partners) have a timely opportunity to intentionally design the modalities of their nascent discipline. Academic disciplines can be understood in various ways. Whether this is, for example, from a sociological or an anthropological perspective, Legal Design has the chance to examine the human experience of disciplinarity and to consciously build an …


Beyond Design Thinking And Into Speculative Futures In Legal Design, Karma Dabaghi Jun 2022

Beyond Design Thinking And Into Speculative Futures In Legal Design, Karma Dabaghi

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The Legal Design movement has succeeded in proposing change to communities through collaboration between the legal and design professions. As a result, new kinds of empathetic solutions have been introduced where the citizen experience is prioritized over commercial goals. Still missing from Legal Design, however, is a stronger understanding of current theoretical literature in design that is questioning the ontology of the discipline and formulating new scenarios of transition toward the future. This paper encourages an embrace of these methodologies and cautions against their use without a solid understanding of the present and a real understanding of their potential effects. …
