Trauma Recidivism: Threat Orientations And Recurrent Injury Perceptions, Molly Bauer, Ann M. Mayo

Dissertations

Purpose: To describe select sociodemographic and clinical variables, threat orientations, and the perceived likelihood of recurrent injury (PLRI) of individuals deemed at risk for trauma recidivism (TR).

Background: Injuries and violence are the leading cause of traumatic death among persons aged 1 to 44 in the United States. Trauma recidivism occurs when an individual experiences more than one significant injury requiring hospital care in a five-year period. The relationship between a trauma recidivist’s perception of recurrent injury and orientation towards a threat remains unclear.

Conceptual Basis: Trauma recidivism risk factors contribute to forming an individual’s PLRI. When individuals acknowledge the …

Facing The Past And Climbing The Mountain, Ruijing Hu

Master's Projects and Capstones

As children develop their worldview, morals, and viewpoints, family upbringing plays a crucial role. Indeed, the role of Chinese parents has shifted due to the country’s fast economic growth, and there have also been significant changes in lifestyle, which include the adoption of new technology, improved living conditions, and increasing educational pressure on the younger generation. This study utilizes a blend of secondary sources and first-hand testimonials in order to examine the influence of Chinese parenting techniques on children of my age, who were born after 1990, normally called the “Post- 90s” generation, as well as how our living situations …

Distribution Patterns Of The Invasive Mussel Arcuatula Senhousia In Mission Bay, San Diego, California: Effects Of Sediment Grain Size And Byssus Thread Production On Predation, Samantha Ahlman

Theses

The ability of bivalves to avoid predation by using defensive behaviors such as burrowing and byssus production may vary depending on the sediment characteristics of a given habitat. The varying sediment characteristics that change with water velocity within estuaries may influence the distribution of bivalves and limit them to areas that optimize their ability to defend against predators. We examined the distribution patterns of the invasive Asian date mussel Arcuatula senhousia relative to the sediment grain size distribution in Mission Bay, an urban estuary located in San Diego, California, USA. Mussels and sediment were collected using an Ekman grab at …

Can Islamic Law Principles Regarding Settlement Of Criminal Disputes Solve The Problem Of The U.S. Mass Incarceration?, Amin R. Yacoub, Becky Briggs

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

The mass incarceration crisis in the United States (US) remains a vexing issue to this day. Although the US incarcerated population has decreased by twenty-five percent amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the US remains a leading country in the number of incarcerated people per capita. Focusing on Islamic law principles governing settlement in criminal cases, the rehabilitative approach of the Icelandic criminal justice model, and the powerful role of prosecutors in serving justice, this research argues that integrating settlement and mediation into the prosecutorial proceedings will significantly reduce mass incarceration in the US.

A Reaction To Systemic Inaction: Breaking The Congressional Logjam Where It Counts, Nicholas W. Archibald

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

William Marshall proposed that congressional inaction threatening “the ability of the government to function” should be “subject to constitutional scrutiny.” This article is a response to Marshall’s proposal and offers a potential solution based on alternative dispute resolution rather than the courts. When faced with seemingly insurmountable differences, Congress must look to alternative dispute resolution to reach a breakthrough on critical issues. This paper proposes the creation of a Mediation Office to assist Congress in coming to these breakthroughs. This mechanism could also possibly intervene when the issue is between Congress and the President. Part II of this article will …

Indiana In The Midst Of #Metoo: The Argument For Enforcing Arbitration In Sexual Harassment Claims, Jonathan Cisneros

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

This note argues that it is in the best interest of sexual harassment victims and the state of Indiana to not follow suit in passing legislation that prohibits employers from requiring mandatory arbitration in sexual harassment cases. This is based on an analysis of the potential factors underlying Indiana’s current lack of legislative movement, the weight of the arguments for and against mandatory arbitration, and consideration of the preemption issues surrounding state laws banning mandatory arbitration. Part II sets the foundation for this note by laying out the most pertinent parts of the FAA and analyzing how the U.S. Supreme …

You Be The Judge: Analyzing When The Federal Arbitration Act's Judicial Review Standards Apply In State Court, Max Birmingham

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

This article addresses whether, when the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs an arbitration, the FAA’s judicial review standards apply in state court and preempt application of different state law judicial review standards. This argument proceeds as follows: Part I provides an introduction. Part II analyzes the procedural reform intent of the FAA and why the statute seeks to standardize the arbitration process. Part III reviews the judicial review of arbitration awards as promulgated in Hall Street Associates, L.L.C. v. Mattel, Inc. Part IV reviews the generations of FAA cases which have been held to be preempted by SCOTUS. Part V …

"Stronger" Together: Kanye Could Have Owned His Masters By Engaging In Collective Bargaining, L. Camille Cordova

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

Because the legislature and judiciary have failed to protect recording artists’ interests, this article proposes that engaging in collective bargaining will re-balance the bargaining positions of the major record labels and recording artists to create a mutually beneficial agreement that gives recording artists a termination of rights clause that mirrors section 203 of the 1976 Copyright Act. By contracting with a major record label, recording artists are automatically eligible for union membership to the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists union (“SAG-AFTRA”), who have experience negotiating other collective-bargaining agreements with these record labels. This agreement would provide …

Restricting Double-Hatting To Safeguard International Arbitrations, Yasaschandra Devarakonda

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

Double-hatting is when an individual plays the dual role of an arbitrator and a legal counsel—a concept first introduced by Professor P. Sands during an IBA conference in 2009. While it hampers the credibility of the arbitral process, its proponents oppose a complete prohibition reflecting on its benefits. The author hypothesizes that this issue has been inadequately addressed in international commercial arbitrations in juxtaposition to international investment arbitrations. Supporting this, the author introduces the concept, tracing its judicial landscape and scholarly discourse in investment arbitrations highlighting the need to adopt a similar approach in commercial arbitrations. Thereafter, the definition of …

Micro-Mediation: A New First Step On The Mixed-Mode Alternative Dispute Resolution Ladder In Higher Education, Joseph C. Alfe

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

Higher education is fraught with disputes on both a macro and micro level. In a broad sense, institutions of higher education serve as a focal point for many disparate cultures, economic strata, ages, genders, races, ideologies, and other societal influences, and concentrates them within an insular community. Such an amalgamation of humanity is bound to produce conflicts of all kinds. These disputes can range from the elementary to the criminal. Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 governs disputes rising to the level of sexual harassment or discrimination and are updated by periodic agency updates disseminated through “dear colleague” …

Counterfeit Electronic Parts And The Lanham Act, Garrett Tozier

Journal of Technology Law & Policy

This Note addresses the potential conflicts between Congress’s intent in eliminating counterfeit electronic parts from the defense supply chain and the use of criminal penalties that rely upon the Lanham Act’s trademark principles to achieve these ends. Following the introduction, Part II discusses the defense supply chain and the pervasiveness of counterfeit electronic parts throughout it. Part III analyzes section 2320 in the context of related Lanham Act principles, along with relevant case law applying to government contractors trafficking in counterfeit goods. Part IV provides suggestions for implementing the section 818 regulations and introduces alternative theories of liability that could …

China's Internet Policies Within The Global Community, Omar Saleem

Journal of Technology Law & Policy

China is often perceived as a land of contradiction replete with economic opportunities and political authoritarianism. With many overlapping strategic interests, China has been described as a competitor and inevitable foe, not a strategic partner, to the United States. China perceives the United States as butting into Asian affairs. The U.S. perception is that China’s socio-economic, political, and legal infrastructures fail to protect the individual rights of Chinese citizens. Accordingly, the criticism is that China’s governmental violations of individual rights are copiously depicted in its controls over the Internet. Purportedly, the logic follows, that China’s governmental controls over the Internet …

Litigating Litigation Holds: A Survey Of Common Law Preservation Duty Triggers, Jason A. Pill, Derek E. Larsen-Chaney

Journal of Technology Law & Policy

This Article seeks to provide a road map to reasonableness in determining when the duty to preserve is triggered and, to that end, identifies and catalogues various trigger points from the 106 state and federal decisions we identified as involving a judicial analysis of when a party reasonably anticipated litigation in the context of spoliation allegations or issues of preservation efforts. This empirical analysis confirms the common-sense conclusion that the duty to preserve frequently triggers long before service of process, sometimes by a period of several years or more, yet remains unpredictable and highly fact-specific.

Part I of this Article …

Amazon Cloud Player: The Latest Front In The Copyright Cold War, Cullen Kiker

Journal of Technology Law & Policy

This Article addresses a concern over the emerging use of cloud-based services for the storage and enjoyment of copyrighted music without the copyright holder granting the cloud-based service a license to copy or play back the music. Specifically, the Amazon Cloud Player will be examined with an eye toward the question of whether Amazon.com needs a license in order for users who have legally purchased copyright protected music to store and enjoy that music on the Amazon Cloud Player.

The implications of the questions raised in this Article cannot be understated. More and more content is being stored in the …

Endless Pursuit: Capturing Technology At The Intersection Of The First Amendment And Attorney Advertising, Jan L. Jacobowitz, Gayland O. Hethcoat Ii

Journal of Technology Law & Policy

This Article focuses on the Florida Bar’s attempt to wrestle with this question in regulating attorney advertising. Among state bars, the Florida Bar has been a pioneer in regulating advertising, especially with respect to new technology. The Bar’s efforts have been years in the making, but only until recently did constitutional considerations percolate to the forefront as the Bar faced litigation threats, and federal courts issued opinions expounding on attorneys’ First Amendment rights. With the release of a proposed new code of advertising rules that is sure to draw the attention of other bars across the country, moreover, questions have …

The President And The Autopen: It Is Unconstitutional For Someone Or Something To Sign A Bill Outside Of The President's Presence, Terry L. Turnipseed

Journal of Technology Law & Policy

This Article explores multiple facets of the President’s use of a proxy signature to sign legislation. In particular, the house-of-cards 2005 Office of Legal Counsel’s memorandum to President George W. Bush making the legal case for the use of a non-presence proxy to sign bills (the “Nielson Memorandum”) will be critiqued.

In Part I, this Article details the constitutional underpinnings of the Presidential signature requirement. Part II of this Article discusses the origins of proxy signatures, specifically the associated presence requirement for proxy signatures. The origins date back to the Statute of Frauds and then the Statute of Wills. As …

Association Of Molecular Pathology Meets Therasense: Analyzing The Unenforceability Of Isolated-Sequence-Related Patents For Upenn, Columbia, Nyu, Yale, And Emory, Sam S. Han

Journal of Technology Law & Policy

Every so often a case comes along that is equally interesting for its non-legal oddities as it is for its legal merits. Association for Molecular Pathology v. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (BRCA Lawsuit) is one of those cases. The BRCA Lawsuit is significant enough that scholars, bloggers, pundits, students, scientists, politicians, and many others have provided comments on the BRCA Lawsuit, ranging from in-depth analyses to unsubstantiated opinions.

While many peculiarities can be found in the BRCA Lawsuit, one noteworthy oddity relates to the affidavits submitted by several of the individual plaintiffs and the plaintiffs’ …
