Hat Hand Boot: An Essay In The Form Of A Shared Meal, Emerald Wise, D'Arcy Newberry-Dupré, Niyanta Sharma, Wesley Hauler

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

This paper is three-fold. The first section enacts a process of “fielding,” generating what might appear as a genealogy of practitioners, but is rather an interdisciplinary collection of precedents, that when drawn into relation, constitute a field—defined by yet redefining each precedent. The field that is drawn into relation here uncovers a compulsion toward planetary healing in the post-war period—a compulsion that appears to have been reactivated today. Each of the practitioners that are touched on have, in some way, whether intentionally or not, played a role in healing our connection to the moment, to ourselves, and to our environments …

Wading In The Waters: The Public’S Use Rights In Non-Navigable Streams, Loren Vigil

Natural Resources Journal

In New Mexico, the water law of prior appropriation rules. As a result, no individual holds a complete right to ownership of water in New Mexico. Instead, New Mexico landowners hold only a right to put appropriated waters to beneficial use. Appropriation of waters requires diversion, a distinct feature that prevents landowners from claiming natural watercourses flowing through their property boundaries. The unappropriated waters of the state are then vested in the state via public trust, to be used and enjoyed by the public. This public right to use often abuts landowner property rights, as water flows over and through …

Climate Change, Justice, And Equity In The Adjudication Of Hermit’S Peak/Calf Canyon Fire Claims, Brett Phelps

Natural Resources Journal

Large-scale, climate-driven wildfire has become a recurring and foreseeable feature of life in the American West, creating long-term consequences for forests, watersheds, and rural communities. The 2022 Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire, the largest wildfire in New Mexico history, provides an opportunity to examine how a federally created compensation statute functions once a climate disaster moves from legislation and rulemaking into adjudication. Sparked by prescribed burns on public land, the fire led Congress to enact the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire Assistance Act, directing the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) to provide expeditious and just compensation for injuries resulting from the fire. …

Hospitality In Crisis: Deciphering Food Insecurity Among Migrants From A Derridean Perspective, Alexandra Constantinescu, Naz Ali

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Food insecurity faced by disadvantaged groups of migrants (i.e., voluntary migrants living in low-income households and forced migrants – namely asylum seekers) undermines the nature of hospitality, creating conditions of inhospitableness associated with hunger, injustice, insecurity, and poverty. This study presents a critical interpretation of hospitality in crisis by concentrating on food insecurity resulting from government and non-government food policies in England, that are inhospitable towards forced migrants – contributing to an area of enquiry with limited research in food and hospitality studies. The study draws on the teachings of Jacques Derrida, particularly his philosophical perspective on (in)hospitality/hostipitality, with conceptualisations …

Former Corporate Employees And The Collective Entity Doctrine, Coleman Raush

Florida Law Review

The Fifth Amendment’s Self-Incrimination Clause prevents those under criminal or civil investigation from being compelled to incriminate themselves, but there is a major exception: the collective entity doctrine. The collective entity doctrine provides that no person may refuse to produce corporate documents under the Self-Incrimination Clause when he holds those documents in a representative capacity on behalf of a corporation. The United States Supreme Court, in its most recent decision on the issue, reasoned that an employee holding corporate documents in this manner produces them on behalf of the corporation and not in his own personal capacity. Thus, the Self-Incrimination …

Once Acquitted, Twice In Jeopardy: The Use Of State Crimes As Rico Predicates, Lily Wang

Florida Law Review

Since its enactment in 1970, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) has been the target of—and survived—many constitutional challenges. While RICO passes constitutional muster as enacted, federal prosecution that uses state acquittals as predicate acts under RICO is barred by the Double Jeopardy Clause. Justice Neil Gorsuch’s dissent in the recent Supreme Court case Denezpi v. United States sets the foundation for an assimilation exception to the same-sovereign element of the Double Jeopardy Clause analysis. The narrow Bartkus exception to dual sovereignty is a weak shield against the modern innovation of compound-complex offenses. Defining an assimilation exception to …

The New Redlining: How Progressive Policies Restrict The Development Of Housing Supply And Perpetuate America's Racist Property Law Past, Steve P. Calandrillo, Kelsey Dunn

Florida Law Review

Recent scholarship has exposed America’s racist property law past. During the twentieth century, decades of deliberate state-sponsored discrimination (i.e., Redlining) made homeownership—and the accumulation of wealth—more difficult for people of color. In 1948, the Supreme Court outlawed these practices in the seminal case, Shelley v. Kraemer. However, the damage had been done, and it has proven to be long-lasting. Redlining slowed economic mobility for people of color and exacerbated the racial wealth gap. As a result, America is in the midst of an affordable housing crisis that disproportionately impacts people of color.

Prosecution Deferred, Shima Baradaran Baughman

Florida Law Review

Deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) have been used with increasing frequency, particularly in corporate criminal prosecutions, over the past two decades. By allowing prosecutors to offer a path for rehabilitation without requiring a defendant to enter a guilty plea, DPAs present a valuable tool for progressive prosecutors to use in a broader movement for criminal justice reform.

However, data on how prosecutors use DPAs––how often they offer them and who they offer them to––has long been lacking. Drawing on a recent national experiment studying state and local prosecutors, this Article aims to supplement the existing data to help answer these questions, …

Misappropriation Of Confidential Government Information As A Property Crime, Donna M. Nagy

Florida Law Review

For nearly forty years, regardless of whether confidential information belonged to a government entity or a private-sector business, its misappropriation could be punished as a property crime. Lower federal courts relied on Carpenter v. United States, a well-known Supreme Court decision holding that an employer’s confidential information constitutes “property” within the meaning of the federal mail and wire fraud statutes. Carpenter unanimously affirmed the mail and wire fraud convictions of a reporter and his co-conspirators who had traded securities based on pre-publication information belonging to the Wall Street Journal. The Court then reaffirmed Carpenter in United States v. …

Taming Strict Scrutiny, Gabrielle M. Girgis

Florida Law Review

Some members of the Roberts Court have signaled their willingness to reverse Employment Division v. Smith, a nearly thirty-five year old controversial but landmark free exercise ruling. Scholars and judges have debated what exactly should replace Smith’s test for religious exemptions, which applies strict scrutiny only to laws that target religion for unfair discrimination. More than one Justice on the Court has shown openness to a new strict scrutiny regime. Such a regime might apply strict scrutiny more widely to any substantial burdens on free exercise (as the Court did prior to Smith in cases such as Sherbert …

International Law Situations: Economic Warfare At Sea, Raul (Pete) Pedrozo

International Law Studies

This Situation examines what measures belligerents may take against enemy and neutral merchant ships at sea during an international armed conflict. Operation Epic Fury serves as the backdrop to demonstrate the applicability of economic warfare during international armed conflict at sea. Iranian-flagged and Guyanese-flagged vessels are operating in service of the Iranian economy and war effort. These ships may be captured as part of U.S. economic warfare against Iran.

Seydou Nara Sarr V. Dembele

All Decisions

The Civil Court dismissed this no-grounds holdover proceeding on service defects. Proof of service was not filed until May 7, 2026 — nearly three months after service was allegedly completed on February 11, 2026 — causing prejudice to the tenant who had to move to compel filing. Applying a prejudice-based standard from Siedlecki v Doscher and Saltzman, the court dismissed under RPAPL §§ 735(2)(b) and 733(1). The court also found the late-filed affidavit of service fatally defective for failing to describe conspicuous place service or identify which papers were served.

Acms Alternative Grading Workshop, Amanda Harsy, Sarah Klanderman, Vic Norman, Adam Schultze, Michael D. Smith

Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences Faculty Conferences

Traditional grading can lead to anxiety, discourage productive struggle, and fail to reflect student learning. Alternative grading methods, such as ungrading, specifications grading, contract grading, and standards-based grading, offer more transparent, equitable, and growth-oriented ways to assess students. This pre-conference workshop will serve as a community of practice to explore alternative assessment and to provide a chance to redesign a course you plan to teach in the 2026-27 academic year. Whether you have never heard of grading for growth or have been iterating on alternative assessments for years, come for resources and support to try it yourself.

Smartdesk: Automatic Ticket Classification And Resolution Prediction Using Data Analytics, Dananir Almheiri

Theses

Public and service-oriented organizations increasingly rely on digital ticketing systems to man- age large volumes of citizen and customer requests. Despite this, many ticket management processes remain partially manual, leading to delays in case routing, inefficient resource al- location, and inconsistent resolution times. These challenges can negatively impact service quality, operational efficiency, and user satisfaction, particularly in large-scale public sector environments. This study proposes SmartDesk, a data-driven framework for automatic ticket classification and resolution time prediction using data analytics and natural language process- ing (NLP) techniques. The research leverages publicly available helpdesk and service ticket datasets to simulate real-world service …

Bottem Realty, Llc V. Yaa

All Decisions

The Civil Court denied the tenant's motion for discovery in a nonpayment proceeding where the tenant raised a rent overcharge defense. The tenancy commenced in 1992 and rent history included multiple unexplained increases exceeding legally permitted amounts. The court distinguished Harvey and Syllman, holding that reliance on those post-HSTPA cases was misplaced because the tenancy predated HSTPA, and declined to extend the fraud exemption to pre-HSTPA tenancies absent a fraud claim.
