Ties Of Influence: The Armistead-Winston Network And Elite Mobility From Virginia To The Southern Frontier., Mindy L D Bates

Theses

This thesis examines how the Armistead and Winston families leveraged intergenerational kinship networks to preserve and reproduce elite authority as they migrated from colonial Virginia to the southern frontier. Rather than viewing migration as an individual pursuit, this study demonstrates that family alliances, shared resources, and long-standing ties shaped opportunity and authority across generations. Using family papers, letters, land deeds, wills, journals, and family trees, this project highlights how these connections functioned as forms of social capital that guided settlement, land acquisition, and community leadership on the frontier. This study serves as a guide for understanding how kinship networks operated …

Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Scenario-Based Virtual Escape Rooms To Improve Student Confidence In Dosage Calculations, Jennifer A. Cuevas

Theses

Abstract

Background: Accurate dosage calculations (DCs) are critical for patient safety, as medication errors contribute to approximately 7,000-9,000 preventable deaths annually. Nearly 30% of nursing students exhibit weakness in foundational mathematical skills, and a significant confidence gap exists: 70% feel confident in mathematical abilities, yet only 45% feel confident in clinical application, necessitating innovative educational interventions.

Purpose: The purpose of this project was to implement and evaluate a scenario-based virtual escape room intervention to enhance undergraduate nursing students' confidence in DCs.

Methods: Grounded in Kolb’s experiential learning theory, this online asynchronous intervention engaged students through concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract …

A Bankruptcy Resuscitation: Addressing Private Equity’S Role In Healthcare Insolvencies, Peyton K. Perry

Emory Bankruptcy Developments Journal

The healthcare sector, traditionally driven by a commitment to patient well-being and quality of care, has increasingly been influenced by financialization, particularly through private equity investments. This Comment explores the impact of private equity on healthcare companies, especially those facing bankruptcy by highlighting how private equity’s profit-driven motives often compromise patient care and lead to financial distress for healthcare providers and companies.

Specifically, this Comment examines the historical context of healthcare as a healing profession and the ethical implications of its financialization. It then delves into the mechanics of private equity as a business model and utilizes recent case studies …

The Prohibition Of Force Is The First Principle Of International Humanitarian Law, Mary Ellen O'Connell

Saint Louis University Law Journal

With the end of the Cold War, United States presidents have shown growing disinterest in complying with the United Nations Charter prohibition on the use of force. Their legal advisers have based justifications for resort to military force on ever thinner legal grounds to the point that justifications appear to focus only on the legal principles governing the conduct of military force, not on the right to resort to force in the first instance. Samuel Moyn captured the phenomenon in his book, Humane: How the United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War. The phenomenon of decline has not stopped with …

The Invalidity Of The “Shock The Conscience” Test For Evidence Gathered By Foreign Police, Kevin Valleroy

Saint Louis University Law Journal

Federal courts since the 1970s have often discussed the “shock the conscience” test in the context of transnational criminal investigations. This test purports to exclude from American trials evidence gathered by foreign police through “conscience shocking” methods. No doubt its creators sought to protect the rights of defendants amidst unclear evidentiary standards. But since the test’s creation, its proponents have failed to agree on a consistent explanation for the test’s constitutionality. Moreover, Supreme Court precedent since the 1980s has heaped doubt on the prevailing explanations for the test’s existence. While a lively debate on the “shock the conscience” test’s underlying …

United States Internal Displacement Policy In The Era Of Climate Change, Bashar Zaheer

Saint Louis University Law Journal

At the outset of 2025, the United States was greeted with a series of unprecedented wildfires sweeping through Los Angeles, causing immense damage to property and loss of lives, while thousands were forced to evacuate their homes. This came just months after flooding from Hurricane Helene hit North Carolina and surrounding States, causing at least 130 deaths and rendering many residences uninhabitable. Despite this deepening crisis, the identification and protection of the rights of climate refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (“IDPs”) remains a burgeoning topic internationally, and even more so in the domestic context of the United States. As described …

A Farewell To Space Arms Control, Eytan Tepper, James B. Romano

Saint Louis University Law Journal

This paper examines the nearly seven decades of attempts to adopt multilateral rules restricting space arms race and limit military uses of outer space. The paper presents the early success to introduce, as part of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, basic key limitations, notably a ban on weapons of mass destruction and offensive military uses of celestial bodies, and the subsequent failure to expand these basic rules. Indeed, despite forty-five years since the early 1980s of work in various streams and frameworks attempting to prevent a space arms race, and despite many countries’ proclamations supporting space arms control, no meaningful …

From Classroom To Closing Table: Strategies For Teaching Transactional Drafting And Preparing Law Students For Practice And The Nextgen Bar Exam, Keisa M. Johnson Monroe

Saint Louis University Law Journal

Undoubtedly, at the end of each semester on the final evening of my Transactional Drafting course, a student approaches me to share feedback and reflections on the class. Their feedback often ranges from expressions of surprise—”This class was actually more enjoyable than I expected”—to reconsiderations of their initial intentions—”I’m going to be a trial lawyer, so I wasn’t even going to take this class, but I’m so glad I did!”—to newly discovered interests—”I think I’m actually interested in pursuing a career as a transactional lawyer now.” These student reflections are helpful as they offer valuable insights as I am constantly …

Breaking The Huddle: Judicial Deference, Antitrust, And The Ncaas Path Forward, Zeke Stockton

Saint Louis University Law Journal

The University of Tennessee Men’s Basketball team entered Week Ten of the 2024–25 college basketball season ranked number one in the country. The Southeastern Conference’s leading scorer going into Tennessee’s game against Texas that week was Tennessee’s Chaz Lanier. On the first play of the second half, Lanier launched a pass into Tennessee’s bench instead of taking an open jump shot. Rick Barnes, Tennessee’s head coach and one of the winningest coaches in college basketball history, immediately took Lanier out of the game. Barnes said in the post-game press conference, “[t]hat play was designed for that shot. I told him, …

Transactional Lawyering: Pro Bono Meets Digital Innovation, Patricia Hureston Lee

Saint Louis University Law Journal

The rapid expansion of digital innovation (i.e., cloud computing, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence (“AI”), blockchain, voice recognition, large language models (“LLM”), and other virtual and augmented reality) enhances the possibility of more pro bono lawyering and greater access to justice. At the same time, the presence of lawyers is even more important and threatened than in previous eras because of the proliferation of digital innovation. The current dilemma is exacerbated by the convergence of three phenomena: the continuation of under-resourced and disadvantaged clients needing pro bono transactional legal services, the ever-present capacity constraints of legal service providers, and …

Both Sides Now—A Holistic Approach To Transactional Drafting (The Case For Better Preparing Our Students For A Business Transactions Practice), John G. Boyle

Saint Louis University Law Journal

I have much to be grateful for professionally.

For starters, St. Louis University School of Law (“SLU”) took a chance on me in the Fall of 1977. With the discipline, encouragement, and, yes, sometimes humor, dispensed by SLU faculty and administration over the following three years, I learned how to think like a lawyer: Analytical. Fact-based. Objective. Grit.

Birthing Inequality: How U.S. Midwifery Laws Perpetuate Racial And Socioeconomic Disparities, Miranda Martin

Saint Louis University Law Journal

“In our nation . . . more women are facing death because of childbirth than in any other developed nation.” “Black women are three times more likely to die in connection with childbirth . . . Native women twice as likely . . . [and] rural women are one and a half times more likely to die,” warned Vice President Kamala Harris, emphasizing the country’s maternal health crisis. Despite efforts to improve maternal health, access to safe and effective care remains uneven. In the United States, there is confusion among legal and healthcare professionals regarding the different types of midwives …

Richard J. Childress Memorial Lecture: Immigration And The Supreme Court In The Early Days Of The Second Trump Administration, Kevin R. Johnson

Saint Louis University Law Journal

An enduring St. Louis University School of Law tradition, the Childress Memorial Lecture is devoted to “highlighting a provocative and timely area of law.” Discussion of immigration law and its enforcement by the Trump administration falls squarely into the category of provocative and timely. My lecture today analyzes the Supreme Court’s responses to the Trump administration’s immigration actions in the early months of his second term. Those responses no doubt provide an idea about the Court’s future responses to the administration’s immigration actions.

Immigration has been a divisive, often explosive political issue throughout U.S. history. The law as it has …
