Originalisms' Indifferences?: Friendly Amendments To Professor Girgis's "Originalism's Difference?", Jed Handelsman Shugerman

Florida Law Review

In this Essay, the author begins by summarizing their many areas of agreement with Girgis’s Dunwody Lecture, Originalism’s Difference?. Then they turn to each of Girgis’s three differences to ask a question and perhaps pose a critique. Has Girgis placed too much emphasis on “constraint”? Is “intensity” a virtue without sufficient care, balance, and open-mindedness, and perhaps a vice if it is a tendentiously intense control-f search? Is avoiding “palpable” moral reasoning a virtue if the Court is using historical evidence to cover for ideological motives and cognitive biases? This Essay turns to some of Girgis’s own examples of …

Originalism's Difference?, Sherif Girgis

Florida Law Review

This Article is a Dunwody Distinguished Lecture in Law and the topic is whether originalism makes any practical difference to constitutional reasoning and outcomes, relative to other methods of interpretation.

Does Good Originalism Need Good History?, Gary Lawson

Florida Law Review

One might think that originalism by definition is largely about history. After all, what does it mean to be “originalist” if not to be concerned primarily, if not exclusively, about the past? And if history is relevant, surely good history is better than bad history?

That seemingly obvious conclusion is not actually obvious. The role of good history, as with the role of any discipline—be it linguistics, epistemology, economics, classical studies, or political theory—depends on what questions one asks. And at least some forms of originalism ask questions for which the role of good history, as historians might define good …

Congressional Guesswork And The Separation Of Powers, Isaac Park

Florida Law Review

Before City of Boerne v. Flores, the Supreme Court construed Section Five of the Fourteenth Amendment as an expansive grant of authority, affording Congress broad power to enact legislation enforcing its own interpretations of the Constitution. Under this regime, Congress enacted landmark civil rights statutes such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Violence Against Women Act. In 1997, however, City of Boerne v. Flores sharply curtailed Congress’s power under Section Five—announcing (for the first time) that legislation contravening the Court’s prior pronouncements on the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment impermissibly intruded on the Supreme Court’s role as …

Stand-In Standing, Matthew I. Hall

Florida Law Review

When the interests of a state, or of the federal government, are at issue in a lawsuit, those interests are typically represented by the executive branch. But not always: The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly held that states and the federal government may delegate their claims to nongovernmental litigants in some circumstances. But the Court has never defined the exact boundaries of when such “stand-in standing” is permitted. And states have recently begun to exploit this doctrinal uncertainty by enacting laws that are arguably—and in some cases flagrantly—unconstitutional but outsourcing the enforcement of those laws to private individuals. The avowed …

When Equitable Becomes Equal: Experimental Evidence On Division Of Marital Assets With Same-Sex Couples, John Roberts, Jennifer Bennett Shinall

Florida Law Review

Previous scholarship has suggested that legal decisionmakers may be biased against women and against nonbreadwinning spouses when dividing the marital assets of divorcing, opposite-sex couples. This Essay extends the marital asset division literature to divorcing, same-sex couples. Using experimental methods, this Essay finds that subjects divide marital assets between spouses equivalently, regardless of whether the divorcing couple is same-sex or opposite-sex. Subjects’ own sexual orientation, however, influences how they divide marital assets between divorcing spouses. Furthermore, this Essay documents a mitigation of prior experimental subject bias against women and nonbreadwinning spouses after the #MeToo movement and the COVID-19 pandemic. This …

Tribal Civil Procedure: An Unexplored Path To Sovereignty And Economic Development, Adam Crepelle

Florida Law Review

This Article argues civil procedure reform is a means of strengthening tribal sovereignty and economies. Although tribal civil procedure codes are largely consistent with their state and federal counterparts, tribal rules of procedure can be difficult to locate. The inability to locate tribal rules of procedure has led the Supreme Court to diminish tribal jurisdiction over non-Indians. Similarly, uncertainty about the rules governing tribal court operation deter businesses from investing in Indian country. By making greater efforts to publish tribal procedure rules and the jurisprudence interpreting them, tribes can enhance their sovereignty and their economies.

Tribes should also consider civil …

Rethinking Pre-Service Teachers’ Agency In Ai-Supported Lesson Design Through A Posthuman Synthesis Of Three Empirical Studies In Teacher Education, Wen Wen, Huijing Wen

Excelsior: Leadership in Teaching and Learning

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is increasingly used in lesson planning in teacher education. There has been a growing interest in exploring the different practices of teachers using GenAI to support lesson planning. This conceptual paper, using posthumanism as a framework, synthesizes three empirical studies to conceptualize pre-service teachers’ agency in AI-supported lesson design on literacy instruction. Pre-service teachers’ agency emerges from the interaction with GenAI, as well as with other human and non-human resources. Although their agency is shared and distributed during the design process, it remains essential for pre-service teachers to actively exercise their agency and make informed judgments …

Examining Lyman’S Ideas: Pre-Service Teachers' Perceptions On The Integration Of Pedagogical Strategies That Transform Literacy Instruction, Elizabeth Falzone, Charles Gonzalez, Paul J. Vermette

Excelsior: Leadership in Teaching and Learning

This project, grounded in Lyman's (2022) culmination of experiential and scholarly endeavors, seeks to prepare excellent educators in a post-COVID environment that is marked with heightened anxiety. With this in mind, we sought to investigate the efficacy and value of implementing specific strategies outlined in 100 Teaching Ideas that Transfer and Transform Learning (Lyman, 2022) within an introductory literacy course. Our goal was to explore how these strategies could empower pre-service teachers to construct their own perceptions of effective teaching of literacy in primary through secondary classrooms, thereby fostering self-driven, confident, and innovative educators capable of creating student-centered learning environments. …

Early Childhood Educators’ Perceptions Of Changes In Student Executive Function Skills And Challenging Behaviors Post-Covid-19, Sofia Cicero, Raquel Plotka

Excelsior: Leadership in Teaching and Learning

The COVID-19 pandemic greatly impacted children’s lives in a multitude of ways, including their educational and social lives. Many children had to switch to online learning platforms or follow social distancing rules. There is a lack of research exploring the lasting impact that the isolation period has left on young children, specifically those in early childhood (3-7 years old). The purpose of this study was to explore whether teachers witnessed changes in student executive function skills and challenging behaviors after the pandemic. In addition, play-based learning has been shown to improve executive function and behavioral outcomes. This study also attempted …

Breaking Silos In Educator Learning: A Public-Private Partnership Model, Jesslyn R. Hollar, Chelsea Feusner, Carrie Kracl, Megan Adkins, Shannon C. Mulhearn

Excelsior: Leadership in Teaching and Learning

Early childhood literacy development is a key predictor of long-term academic success, yet many early childhood educators and particularly those in rural education settings lack access to high-quality, evidence-based professional learning. Increasing policy mandates related to the science of reading have intensified the need for coordinated systems between policy, research, and instructional practice. This qualitative program evaluation examines Project RISE (Reading Instructional Strategies for Educators), a statewide professional learning initiative developed through a public–private partnership among a regional university, a state department of education, and an educational industry partner. Drawing on Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, Wenger’s Communities of Practice, and …

Scaling For Success: Expanding The Empire State Teacher Residency Program, Sharon Sullivan-Rubin, Charity Dacey, Nicole Aveni

Excelsior: Leadership in Teaching and Learning

This paper explores the challenges and opportunities involved in scaling the Empire State Teacher Residency Program (ESTRP), a partnership between Touro University and New York City Public Schools, operating within the US PREP coalition. As ESTRP expands from an inaugural cohort of 12 to potentially over 600 residents, the study examines how program quality, fidelity, and equity can be maintained during rapid growth. Drawing on Senge’s organizational learning theory and Fullan’s framework for educational change, the research highlights the importance of systems thinking, shared vision, and feedback loops in supporting sustainable expansion. The study details how collaborative professional learning communities, …

After Meat: Ruin, Decomposition, And The Epistemic Collapse Of Industrial Food Systems, Alexandra Kenefick

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

The contemporary crisis of industrial meat is typically framed in environmental, ethical, or technological terms. This paper argues instead that the crisis is fundamentally epistemic, exposing the conceptual limits of modern food systems organized around abstraction, purification, efficiency, and control. Drawing on critical theories of modernity, political ecology, and design, it reframes meat not as food but as a designed industrial artefact. Through the lens of ruin, industrial breakdown is read as material disclosure, rendering visible the violences, dependencies, and exclusions that sustained modern abundance. Against technological solutionism and post-meat futurism, the paper develops decomposition as an alternative epistemic and …
