Crown Prosecutors And Government Lawyers: A Legal Ethics Analysis Of Under-Funding, Andrew Flavelle Martin
Crown Prosecutors And Government Lawyers: A Legal Ethics Analysis Of Under-Funding, Andrew Flavelle Martin
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
Crown prosecutors and government lawyers are reliant on governments for their funding but exert no meaningful influence or control over such funding decisions. Nonetheless, this article demonstrates that as a question of law, under-funded Crown prosecutors and government lawyers risk violating their professional duties. If so, they must promptly inform the government, refuse new matters and, if necessary, withdraw from existing matters. If the government purports to block such refusal or withdrawal and does not provide adequate funding, resignation will become necessary. While law societies will likely not prioritize disciplinary action against such lawyers, the policy reasons to forego such …
Legal Ethics For Government Lawyers: Lessons From Nunavut, Andrew Flavelle Martin
Legal Ethics For Government Lawyers: Lessons From Nunavut, Andrew Flavelle Martin
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
While government lawyers face legal ethics issues unique to that practice context, those issues are overlooked in the rules of professional conduct in all but one Canadian jurisdiction: Nunavut. In this comment, I canvass several provisions that are unique to the Code of Professional Conduct of the Law Society of Nunavut. These provisions are inexplicably overlooked in the Canadian legal ethics literature to date. I then assess how these provisions address the legal ethics issues unique to government lawyering. Finally, I argue that the Nunavut provisions should be considered a starting point and I consider additional changes that could be …
Lawyers And Public Service: Duty, Faith, And The 'Good Republican' In The West Wing, Andrew Flavelle Martin
Lawyers And Public Service: Duty, Faith, And The 'Good Republican' In The West Wing, Andrew Flavelle Martin
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
Popular culture reveals much about the perceived role of lawyers in contemporary life. In this article, I draw lessons from the portrayal of lawyers in Aaron Sorkin's classic television series, The West Wing. As a drama centred around a Democratic presidential administration, Republicans often provide the foil. From time to time, however, the show lionizes what might be termed ‘the good Republican’. That ‘good Republican’ is most often a practicing lawyer whose desire to serve is grounded in duty or faith. In this essay, I use a trio of these characters to explore the role of lawyers in public service. …
A Neo-Federalist View Of The Supreme Court’S Docket: Analyzing Case Selection And Ideological Alignment, Arthur D. Hellman
A Neo-Federalist View Of The Supreme Court’S Docket: Analyzing Case Selection And Ideological Alignment, Arthur D. Hellman
Articles
For more than 70 years, scholars have engaged in an intense debate over a core constitutional question: what restraints does the Constitution place on Congress’s power to limit the jurisdiction of the federal courts? Far less attention has been given to an equally important real-life question: how does the operation of the jurisdiction, as defined by Congress and the Supreme Court, comport with the assigned role of the federal courts in the system of government established by the Constitution? This Article takes a novel approach: it draws on constitutional theory to devise a set of tools for addressing the operational …
The Right To Inequality: Conservative Politics And Precedent Collide, Jonathan Feingold
The Right To Inequality: Conservative Politics And Precedent Collide, Jonathan Feingold
Faculty Scholarship
The “end of affirmative action” is the beginning of this story. In Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard (SFFA), the Supreme Court struck a near fatal blow to race-consciousness. Many institutions have since pivoted to “race neutral alternatives.” This is a natural turn. But one that faces immediate headwinds.
The same entities that demanded Harvard pursue racial diversity through colorblind means have sued public high schools for doing just that. These litigants assert a “right to inequality”—a theory that would pit the equal protection clause against equality itself. Even if normatively jarring, a right to inequality might seem a …

Shifting Towards Boilerplate Regulation, Wayne R. Barnes
Shifting Towards Boilerplate Regulation, Wayne R. Barnes
University of Miami Law Review
Consumer assent to standard form contracts has been creating cognitive dissonance among contracts scholars for a century. Businesses impose standard forms on consumers, who never read the terms. But consumers would not understand them if they did. And they don’t have the bargaining power to change them anyway—the terms are famously “take it or leave it.” Contracting is ideally theorized as an act of voluntary, knowing consent to all the terms agreed to. The dissonance is that consumers, although ostensibly signaling their assent to the boilerplate by signing (or clicking, or tapping their phone screen), do not in fact know …
Reverse Discrimination: An Opportunity To Modernize And Improve Employment Discrimination Law, William R. Corbett
Reverse Discrimination: An Opportunity To Modernize And Improve Employment Discrimination Law, William R. Corbett
University of Miami Law Review
The issue of how to prove discrimination in reverse discrimination cases has produced a division in the circuits and some strongly worded opinions about discriminatory discrimination law. The courts begin with the three-stage proof framework developed by the Supreme Court in 1973 in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792. Some courts adjust the prima facie case, the first stage of the analysis, by requiring a reverse discrimination plaintiff to prove background circumstances that justify the inference that the defendant discriminates in a way that is not consistent with historical patterns of discrimination. Other courts reject the background …
Florida’S Privacy Paradox, Emily Grady
Florida’S Privacy Paradox, Emily Grady
University of Miami Law Review
For almost half a century, Floridians have enjoyed a right to privacy specially guaranteed to them by the Florida constitution. This broad right to privacy, pre-Dobbs, guaranteed several specific rights like the right to have an abortion, the right to be left alone in one’s own home, and the right to be able to direct the upbringing of one’s children, amongst other rights. Despite the fact that these specific rights were nestled in the same broad right to privacy, their treatment has been far from similar in recent years in Florida.
This Note examines the evolution of Florida’s …
The “Amateur” Division I Athlete Is Becoming A Thing Of The Past, So Now What?: Addressing The Action Needed To Preserve Amateurism In College Sports, Elizabeth Hendrickson
The “Amateur” Division I Athlete Is Becoming A Thing Of The Past, So Now What?: Addressing The Action Needed To Preserve Amateurism In College Sports, Elizabeth Hendrickson
University of Miami Law Review
College sports are in a state of logistical chaos. How did we get here? Where do we go next? What does the future of college sports look like? The driving force behind much of this uncertainty is the demise of amateurism at the Division I level of competition. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”) has struggled to define what makes a college athlete an “amateur” since its inception. Over time—and under the NCAA’s purported control—the line between amateur and professional athletes has become increasingly blurred. The NCAA’s failure to maintain the amateur model at the Division I level poses a …
The Three Elements Of 303 Creative And How They Limit The Decision’S Impact, Dillon J. Richards
The Three Elements Of 303 Creative And How They Limit The Decision’S Impact, Dillon J. Richards
University of Miami Law Review
In 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, the Supreme Court held that a state could not use a public accommodation law to require a wedding website business to create websites for gay weddings. As the Court saw it, the First Amendment shielded the company because its owner did not want to express speech supporting same-sex marriage—and being forced to create websites for same-sex weddings would compel just that.
Some public reaction to the Court’s opinion—perhaps understandably—construed the case as a full-on attack on gay rights, giving businesses a so-called license to discriminate that could not be limited to the wedding …
Evaluation Of Washington State's Senate Bill 5599 Concerning Runaway Transgender Youth, Cobi Clark
Evaluation Of Washington State's Senate Bill 5599 Concerning Runaway Transgender Youth, Cobi Clark
Access*: Interdisciplinary Journal of Student Research and Scholarship
This paper utilizes a recognized policy analysis framework (Kraft & Furlong, 2017) to evaluate the objective effectiveness, efficiency, equitability, and ethical nature of Washington State’s 2023 Senate Bill 5599 (SB 5599, 2023) within contemporary social, political, cultural, and geographic contexts. Senate Bill 5599 was signed into law by Governor Inslee on May 9th, 2023, and became effective July 23rd, 2023. The bill established an exception to the reporting requirements the state and its agencies must follow when accepting runaway youth into shelters. The exception established is that the state is no longer required to report to …

Obstructing Precedent, Bill Watson
Obstructing Precedent, Bill Watson
Northwestern University Law Review
Critics of the Supreme Court sometimes accuse the Justices of disrespecting or being unfaithful to precedent—of undermining certain precedents while leaving them formally in place. Yet it remains unclear what exactly these criticisms mean or why they point to anything objectionable. This Article proposes that critics are often drawing attention to a particular practice: obstructing precedent. A better grasp of what obstructing precedent is and when it is legitimate is important to understanding the Roberts Court’s treatment of precedent in a range of cases.
A court obstructs precedent when it refuses to cooperate with its prior self in building a …
The False Choice Between Digital Regulation And Innovation, Anu Bradford
The False Choice Between Digital Regulation And Innovation, Anu Bradford
Northwestern University Law Review
This Article challenges the common view that more stringent regulation of the digital economy inevitably compromises innovation and undermines technological progress. This view, vigorously advocated by the tech industry, has shaped the public discourse in the United States, where the country’s thriving tech economy is often associated with a staunch commitment to free markets. U.S. lawmakers have also traditionally embraced this perspective, which explains their hesitancy to regulate the tech industry to date. The European Union has chosen another path, regulating the digital economy with stringent data privacy, antitrust, content moderation, and other digital regulations designed to shape the evolution …
Make America Fake Again?: Banning Deepfakes Of Federal Candidates In Political Advertisements Under The First Amendment, Sophie Loewenstein
Make America Fake Again?: Banning Deepfakes Of Federal Candidates In Political Advertisements Under The First Amendment, Sophie Loewenstein
Fordham Law Review
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has developed rapidly. Accompanying this advancement in sophistication and accessibility are various societal benefits and risks. For example, political campaigns and political action committees have begun to use AI in advertisements to generate deepfakes of opposing candidates to influence voters. Deepfakes of political candidates interfere with voters’ ability to discern falsity from reality and make informed decisions at the ballot box. As a result, these deepfakes pose a threat to the integrity of elections and the existence of democracy. Despite the dangers of deepfakes, regulating false political speech raises significant First Amendment questions. …
Terrorism Should Not Be A Crime: How Political Labels Are Dangerous To American Democracy, Abigail S. Grand
Terrorism Should Not Be A Crime: How Political Labels Are Dangerous To American Democracy, Abigail S. Grand
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice
This Note calls for a dismantling of the United States’ current method of prosecuting terrorism, rejecting the “terrorism” label as a mechanism for charging crimes. Prosecutors should instead charge individuals in terrorism cases for their underlying criminal actions rather than rely on material support statutes and political innuendos to secure a conviction. By examining the implications of the terrorism label in post-9/11 America, this Note addresses how a moral panic enabled the executive branch to overstep its constitutional restraints and threatened the delicate balance of powers central to American democracy. Next, it proposes, as many have before, that Article III …

Felony Disenfranchisement And Voter Turnout: Randomized Trials In Iowa And Washington, Alexander Billy, J.J. Naddeo, Neel U. Sukhatme
Felony Disenfranchisement And Voter Turnout: Randomized Trials In Iowa And Washington, Alexander Billy, J.J. Naddeo, Neel U. Sukhatme
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Prior to the 2022 midterm elections, we conducted large-scale randomized controlled trials in Iowa and Washington aimed at increasing voter turnout among newly enfranchised individuals with past felony convictions. Alongside national and grassroots partners, we designed and implemented experiments to ascertain the effectiveness of alternative outreach mechanisms, including targeted mailers and digital ads. We did not detect statistically significant or economically meaningful effects on voter registration or turnout; most observed effects were precise nulls. The absence of measured impact is likely attributed to low digital engagement with our online ads as well as extensive voter outreach already conducted by our …
