A New Hope: Perez V. Sturgis Public Schools Opens The Courthouse Doors To Children With Disabilities, Richard Marsico
A New Hope: Perez V. Sturgis Public Schools Opens The Courthouse Doors To Children With Disabilities, Richard Marsico
Belmont Law Review
This article addresses what happens when the exhaustion
requirement for IDEA claims intersects with the exhaustion requirement for
related federal laws. Specifically, compensatory monetary damages are
not available for IDEA violations but are available for violations of
related federal laws. This raises a question: if a plaintiff wants to file a
complaint pursuant only to the related federal laws alleging disability
discrimination and seeking monetary damages for actions that also arguably
violate the IDEA, must the plaintiff exhaust the IDEA administrative
process first?
From Garcetti To Kennedy: Teachers, Coaches, And Free Speech At Public Schools, Emily G. Waldman
From Garcetti To Kennedy: Teachers, Coaches, And Free Speech At Public Schools, Emily G. Waldman
Belmont Law Review
This Article analyzes Kennedy’s implications for educators’ free speech rights at school. It is important to note, at the outset, that the Kennedy majority’s description of the actual facts at issue is highly debatable. Indeed, the majority presented a sanitized account of what actually occurred on the ground, minimizing the highly public nature of Kennedy’s prayers and the football players’ involvement in them. That said, if we take the facts as the majority presented them, and then move to the majority’s assessment of those facts, we emerge with an interesting gloss on Garcetti. Synthesizing Garcetti and Kennedy points toward a …
"Exceedingly Unpersuasive" - Discrimination, Transgender Students, And School Bathrooms, Mark Dorosin
"Exceedingly Unpersuasive" - Discrimination, Transgender Students, And School Bathrooms, Mark Dorosin
Belmont Law Review
In 2015, the St. Johns County School District adopted a policy which prohibited transgender students from using the restroom matching their gender identity and required that they use either single stall restrooms or the multi-stall restroom corresponding to their gender listed on their birth certificate (their “biological” sex). Similar policies targeting transgender students had been implemented by school districts across the country; and like many of them, St. Johns’ policy was quickly challenged by a transgender student who asserted that the policy violated his civil rights. In late December 2022, a divided Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting en banc, …
Taking Our Position: Repairing The Breach In The Pipeline To The Legal Profession By Transforming The Impact Of Bias Against Black Girls In Student Discipline, Hon. Tiffany W. Brewer
Taking Our Position: Repairing The Breach In The Pipeline To The Legal Profession By Transforming The Impact Of Bias Against Black Girls In Student Discipline, Hon. Tiffany W. Brewer
Belmont Law Review
This Article implores the legal profession to intervene in promoting accountability in remediating implicit bias and discrimination in school discipline decisions disproportionately impacting Black girls’ educational outcomes, given their significant impact in disrupting the pipeline to the legal profession. The lack of accountability for disparate school discipline policies has resulted in little progress in decreasing the school-to-prison pipeline for Black girls. As a result, failures to eradicate implicit bias and discrimination in educational systems threaten the pipeline of future Black women law students, lawyers, and judges. This Article contends that if the bias in current school discipline policies toward Black …
Too Young To Suspend: Ending Early Grade School Exclusion By Applying Lessons From The Fight To Increase The Minimum Age Of Juvenile Court Jurisdiction, Peggy Nicholson
Too Young To Suspend: Ending Early Grade School Exclusion By Applying Lessons From The Fight To Increase The Minimum Age Of Juvenile Court Jurisdiction, Peggy Nicholson
Belmont Law Review
In many respects, the evolution of juvenile court reform and school discipline reform follow similar trajectories. This Article begins by tracking those respective evolutions. Part I outlines the evolution of the juvenile court system in the United States and focuses on the fledgling system’s distinction of children from adults and its “rehabilitative ideal” that children could outgrow challenging behavior if given the right treatment and services. After a long period of “adultification” of the juvenile court in response to rising crime rates, more recent reform efforts have focused on returning to the early court’s rehabilitative model, including policies that would …
Democracy And State Education Governance, Quinn Yeargain
Democracy And State Education Governance, Quinn Yeargain
Belmont Law Review
This Article lays out the hundred-year-plus trajectory of state constitutional and statutory changes that transitioned education from a near universally democratized area of policymaking into one that unevenly balances democracy and professionalization. Part I begins by sketching out the starting position of democracy in state education governance: the initial creation of elected state education administrators and the pressures to reform these systems in the early twentieth century. Then, Part II explores the slow process by which the structure of statewide education governance shifted, discussing the methods by which reforms were proposed and the content of the proposed changes. Part III …
Once Upon A Fape: Contrasting The Fabled Hope Of Idea With Present-Day Pandemic Realities, Jenny Rodriguez-Fee
Once Upon A Fape: Contrasting The Fabled Hope Of Idea With Present-Day Pandemic Realities, Jenny Rodriguez-Fee
Belmont Law Review
Much like Hansel and Gretel in the widely known fairytale, children around the world have experienced trauma, loss, and profound impact to their physical, social, and emotional well-being due to the pandemic. Also, like Hansel and Gretel, students with unique needs have lacked the guidance, support, and prioritization by the adults who are meant to protect them. For some students, this failure to support by those adults charged with their education has been occurring for decades. For many, they were left alone in the woods in March 2020, the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Forced to isolate from teachers and …

This Article concludes with recommendations for modernizing local and state policy to best achieve the goals of recently enacted educational programs.
What Will Happen To Cleo In The Wave Of Affirmative Action Litigation, Erin Lain
What Will Happen To Cleo In The Wave Of Affirmative Action Litigation, Erin Lain
Belmont Law Review
The Students for Fair Admission (“SFFA”) decision has upended how law schools conduct admission, changing the decades-old practices of considering race as one of many factors in the admissions process. Despite the narrow use of race in the admission process, the legal profession is still almost 81% white, suggesting the use of affirmative action has not been a substantial boost to minority enrollment in law school. Despite the low impact, the United States Supreme Court proceeded with a sweeping decision declaring the use of racial checkboxes unconstitutional and limiting the use of race in admissions to evidence of nonracial attributes …

The Great "White" Way: Reconsidering Comprehensive Color-Conscious Casting Plans Through Affirmative Action, Commercial Speech, And Statutory Amendment, Jacob Franklin Greene
The Great "White" Way: Reconsidering Comprehensive Color-Conscious Casting Plans Through Affirmative Action, Commercial Speech, And Statutory Amendment, Jacob Franklin Greene
Belmont Law Review
This Note discusses the theatrical casting process from publishing a breakdown through audition day type outs and how this process exposes productions, theater companies, and Actor’s Equity Association (“AEA”) to potential liability. Part I provides a background on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, and 42 U.S.C. § 1981, as these are the federal antidiscrimination laws under which a lawsuit is most likely to arise. Part II explores the language of breakdowns, defines the concept of theatrical typing, and discusses the two predominant methods the theater industry frequently utilizes in casting shows. Likewise, …
The Forgotten Animals Who Feed The Nation: Why The Ppia Is Not Effective At Protecting The Welfare Of Poultry Farmed In The U.S., Jacqueline Woodruff
The Forgotten Animals Who Feed The Nation: Why The Ppia Is Not Effective At Protecting The Welfare Of Poultry Farmed In The U.S., Jacqueline Woodruff
Belmont Law Review
The article "The Forgotten Animals Who Feed the Nation: Why the PPIA Is Not Effective at Protecting the Welfare of Poultry Farmed in the U.S." by Jacqueline Woodruff argues that the current U.S. Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) is insufficient in ensuring humane slaughter practices for poultry. Woodruff critiques the USDA's reliance on "Good Commercial Practices" (GCP) and points out that these standards lack a clear definition of "humane" and do not mandate the stunning of poultry before slaughter. The author suggests that including poultry under the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act (HMSA) or amending the PPIA to include more …
Recalibrating Bruen: The Merits Of Historical Burden-Shifting In Second Amendment Cases, Kevin G. Schascheck Ii
Recalibrating Bruen: The Merits Of Historical Burden-Shifting In Second Amendment Cases, Kevin G. Schascheck Ii
Belmont Law Review
After Bruen, the prevailing assumption was that the Second Amendment framework shifted radically for all gun laws. Courts throughout the country have already invalidated key gun safety statutes while applying the new test. However, such holdings fail to grapple with the full weight of Second Amendment doctrines. A proper application of the doctrine in toto will result in no significant changes to the constitutionality of the vast majority of gun laws after Bruen.
This Article explains the underdeveloped interaction between two principal Second Amendment doctrines - presumptions of legal validity and historical analyses. That interaction, framed in its simplest terms, …
The Digital Person: Law Enforcement & The Purchase Of Data In A Post Carpenter Age, Jay E. Town
The Digital Person: Law Enforcement & The Purchase Of Data In A Post Carpenter Age, Jay E. Town
Belmont Law Review
It once was reasonable to expect courts to rule that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, even in the digital era, because nearly all of the information streamed from mobile devices, applications, and browsers is voluntarily shared per the terms of the platforms', websites', and applications' agreements. But then the United States Supreme Court issued its opinion in Carpenter v. United States. Scholars and jurists alike opined, to some degree of hyperbole, on the enormity of the impact this holding would have on the Fourth Amendment going forward. Defense counsel and privacy advocates regaled the case as a …
Libertarianism And The Common Law, Allen Mendenhall
Libertarianism And The Common Law, Allen Mendenhall
Belmont Law Review
What are the qualities and characteristics of the common law that feature or reflect libertarianism? The common law is both a historical phenomenon and an active process or a juridical mode of settling disputes. Therefore, a precise answer to questions about the compatibility between libertarianism and the common law is difficult to articulate. This Essay describes elements of the common law - both its manifestation in history and its theoretical approaches to judging - that illuminate its libertarian attributes and tendencies. It suggests that the common law has epistemological importance as a kind of bottom-up ordering based on traceable patterns …
Taming The Wild West: The Time Is Near For Congress To Intervene In Name, Image, And Likeness Deals For Collegiate Athletes, Bradley Kilborn Kilborn
Taming The Wild West: The Time Is Near For Congress To Intervene In Name, Image, And Likeness Deals For Collegiate Athletes, Bradley Kilborn Kilborn
Belmont Law Review
This note proposes a multifaceted approach for congressional intervention in the NIL market. While there are many areas needing NIL regulation in the collegiate athletic market, the most critical area of need for NIL regulation involves the collectives and directives. These entities have formed and operated without any meaningful guardrails since the NCAA permitted student-athletes to be compensated for their NIL. Additionally, they have been able to influence recruiting both at the high school recruit level and in the collegiate athlete transfer portal.
Securing Patent Law, Charles Duan
Securing Patent Law, Charles Duan
Belmont Law Review
A vigorous conversation about intellectual property rights and national security has largely focused on the defense role of those rights, as tools for responding to acts of foreign infringement. But intellectual property, and patents in particular, also play an arguably more important offense role. Foreign competitor nations can obtain and assert U.S. patents against U.S. firms and creators. Use of patents as an offense strategy can be strategically coordinated to stymie domestic innovation and technological progress. This Essay considers current and possible future practices of patent exploitation in this offense setting, with a particular focus on China given the nature …
Tiktok Is Not Your Doctor: Reprioritizing Consumer Protection In Pharmaceutical Advertisement Regulation, Nora Klein
Tiktok Is Not Your Doctor: Reprioritizing Consumer Protection In Pharmaceutical Advertisement Regulation, Nora Klein
Belmont Law Review
This Note will examine DTCA in the context of DTC telemedicine companies, with a focus on the proliferation of such advertisements on social media platforms. Part I discusses the intertwining forces that have led to the prevalence of DTC telehealth advertising on social media. Part II introduces the current regulatory scheme applicable to DTCA, and explains the First Amendment protections afforded to commercial speakers. Part III explores why DTC telemedicine companies are not subject to the regulations applicable to DTCA generally, as well as the implications stemming from the current lack of oversight. Finally, Part IV proposes a solution to …
