The Legal Quagmire Of Irc § 501(C)(4) Organizations And The Consequential Rise Of Dark Money In Elections, Daniel C. Kirby

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Section 501(c)(4) organizations have recently become a hot topic with respect to campaign finance. Following the 2010 Supreme Court case, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the number of IRC § 501(c)(4) organizations ballooned in number, and the amount of money flowing through § 501(c)(4) groups increased 2390 percent from the 2008 election cycle to the 2012 election cycle. This essay explores the dangers to the campaign finance system of the substantial increase in spending by IRC § 501(c)(4) organizations. The foundational claim of this essay is that IRC § 501(c) is in need of a statutory and regulatory overhaul …

The Need To Criminalize Revenge Porn: How A Law Protecting Victims Can Avoid Running Afoul Of The First Amendment, Adrienne N. Kitchen

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Revenge porn occurs when someone posts sexually explicit images of their former paramour on the web, often with contact information for the victim’s work and home. There are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of victims. Victims lose or quit their jobs; they are harassed by strangers; some change their name or alter their appearance. Some victims resort to suicide; others are stalked, assaulted, or killed. Civil suits fail to remove the images or deter perpetrators. Current criminal laws are insufficient in several common instances. These shortcomings mean there is a need to criminalize revenge porn.

Revenge porn is obscene and …

Between Law And Religion: Procedural Challenges To Religious Arbitration Awards, Michael A. Helfand

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Article explores the unique status of religious law as a hybrid concept that simultaneously retains the characteristics of both law and religion. To do so, the Article considers as a case study how courts should evaluate procedural challenges to religious arbitration awards. To respond to such challenges, courts must treat religious law as law when defining the contractually adopted religious procedural rules, but treat religious law as religion when reviewing precisely what the religious procedural rules require. On this account, constitutional and arbitration doctrine combine to insulate religious arbitration awards from judicial scrutiny even on procedural grounds, leaving courts …

Installations Of Jewish Law In Public Urban Space: An American Eruv Controversy, Charlotte Elisheva Fonrobert

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This article analyzes the ongoing controversy over the installation of an eruv in Westhampton Beach. The author first provides an analytical description of the case with reference to other recent eruv controversies. Similar to arguments advanced in earlier eruv controversies, lawyers in the Westhampton case have taken recourse to the First Amendment, with proponents of the eruv relying on the free exercise clause, and opponents relying on the establishment clause. The article then proceeds to discuss the implications of this controversy for the larger issues of religion in the public sphere, as one of the critical issues emerging in all …

Microbial Stimulation And Succession Following A Test Well Injection Simulating Co₂ Leakage Into A Shallow Newark Basin Aquifer, Gregory O'Mullan, M. Elias Dueker, Kale Clauson, Qiang Yang, Kelsey Umemoto, Natalia Zakharova, Juerg Matter, Martin Stute, Taro Takahashi, David Goldberg

Publications and Research

In addition to efforts aimed at reducing anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases, geological storage of CO2 is being explored as a strategy to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gas emission and mitigate climate change. Previous studies of the deep subsurface in North America have not fully considered the potential negative effects of CO2 leakage into shallow drinking water aquifers, especially from a microbiological perspective. A test well in the Newark Rift Basin was utilized in two field experiments to investigate patterns of microbial succession following injection of CO2-saturated water into an isolated aquifer interval, simulating a CO2 leakage scenario. A decrease in …

Ethical Principles Of Old Testament Economics: Implications For The Teaching Of Business Ethics, Sigmund Wagner-Tsukamoto

Journal of Religion and Business Ethics

The paper reviews ethical principles, including certain theological principles that have been drawn from the field of economic research on the Old Testament. It critically examines the type of lessons that can be learned from adherence to such principles for the teaching of business ethics, and how such principles can subsequently inform and be incorporated into management practises.

In terms of ethical assessments, on the one hand the paper connects to the Judeo-Christian tradition, and to institutional and constitutional economics on the other. The paper reviews several stories from the Old Testament and extracts ethical principles on good management practice, …

Operating Islamic Jurisprudence In Non-Muslim Jurisdictions: Traditional Islamic Precepts And Contemporary Controversies In The United States, Mustafa R. K. Baig

Chicago-Kent Law Review

With the recent public furor in the United States regarding “Shari‘a,” studies into the content of Islamic jurisprudence concerning Muslims living under non-Muslim jurisdiction are more pertinent than ever in the U.S. context. As “anti-Shari‘a” rhetoric has increased in fervency, informed input into the debates could go some way in correcting the peddled misconceptions. The paper begins by assessing how Muslim scholars viewed a Muslim’s travel to and residence in non-Muslim lands, and the obligation to abide by the laws of the land. It will focus on the jihad (siyar) section in Islamic jurisprudence and the section on …

Fiber Bragg Grating : Bimetal Temperature Sensor For Solar Panel Inverters / Mohd Afiq Ismail, Ismail Mohd Afiq

Student Works (2010-2019)

This thesis demonstrates various techniques for generating passive Q-switched and soliton mode-locked fiber laser using Erbium-doped fiber and Thulium-Bismuth doped fiber laser as gain mediums. The techniques for obtaining Q-switched and soliton mode-locked fiber laser includes nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR), semiconductor saturable absorber and carbon-based saturable absorber; specifically, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), graphene and non-conductive graphene oxide paper. A performance comparison is made between mode-locking using NPR technique and semiconductor saturable absorber. Based on the result, the semiconductor saturable absorber generates better quality of mode-locked pulse than using NPR. A single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in a sodium dedocyl sulfate (SDS) …

High Temperature Forming Of Boronized Duplex Stainless Steel / Rosnaini Saidan, Saidan Rosnaini

Student Works (2010-2019)

The purpose of this work is to study the forming effect of boronized duplex stainless steel (DSS) at high temperature. Pack-boronizing of treated-DSS was carried out at 1223 K for 2, 4 and 6 hours, resulting surface hardness that range between 1890 and 2418 HV. The effects of microstructure, strain rate and surface hardness on high temperature forming process of the boronized treated-DSS were investigated. The forming was also done to its counterpart, the untreated (as-received) DSS, as a controlling factor. The results showed that in general, boronizing increased the flow stress of the forming, as similarly, higher surface hardness …

How (Not) To Preach In The Secular Age, Timothy Blackmon

Symposium on Worship Archive

Many of my friends have a very different take on life. They hope to find personal significance without God. The gospel story I preach seems neither plausible or all that relevant. Philosopher Charles Taylor explains "we are now living in a spiritual supernova, a kind of galloping pluralism on the spiritual plane." This workshop is a brief field guide on how (not) to preach and teach the gospel in a secular age.

Leading Worship In A Post-Christian, Low-Biblical Literacy Age: Practical Lessons From Church History About The Catechetical Dimensions Of Worship, Gerald L. Sittser

Symposium on Worship Archive

When we gather for worship, we long to have many people present who do not yet know the Bible well. We also long to have life-long worshipers, including our children and youth, come to know the Bible well. How can worship be led in ways that embrace these goals, in ways that foster greater love for and knowledge of God’s word? How can church history challenge us to imagine very practical ways of shaping warm, instructive, life-giving worship practices?

Telling Stories In Worship: Principles And Practices, Eric Mathis
