Managing Big Data In Complex Litigation, Robert Sanger
Managing Big Data In Complex Litigation, Robert Sanger
Robert M. Sanger
Any lawyer doing complex litigation, civil or criminal, has confronted what seems like an insurmountable sea of data. Many of us have used computer relational database programs and otherwise fought through the mass of information to prepare to try a case. There have been some advancements in managing data made by law enforcement in recent years to make their investigations manageable. During law enforcement investigations, the goal is somewhat different than that of the lawyer preparing for trial; however, the concepts are useful.

Robinson Township: A Model For Environmental Constitutionalism, Erin Daly, James May
Robinson Township: A Model For Environmental Constitutionalism, Erin Daly, James May
Erin Daly
In Robinson Township v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a plurality of the court held that a controversial law encouraging fracking (“Act 13”) violates the state’s constitutional Environmental Rights Amendment, the provisions of which the court held are “on par” with political rights. The decision highlights the challenges of engaging constitutional environmental provisions but demonstrates that, with sufficient creativity and commitment, meeting these challenges lies well within the bounds of judicial capability and authority. Because courts around the world are increasingly being asked to engage in environmental constitutionalism, and Robinson Township's thorough examination of the issues is instructive, not only for cases …
Local Home Rule In The Time Of Globalization, Kenneth Stahl
Local Home Rule In The Time Of Globalization, Kenneth Stahl
Kenneth Stahl
Cities are increasingly taking the lead in tackling global issues like climate change, financial regulation, economic inequality, and others that the federal and state governments have failed to address. Recent media accounts have accordingly praised cities as the hope of our globally networked future. This optimistic appraisal of cities is, however, undermined by local governments’ cramped legal status. Under the doctrine of home rule, local governments can often only act in matters deemed “local” in nature, and cannot regulate “statewide” issues that may have impacts beyond local borders. As a result, the global issues that local governments are being praised …

Does Propaganda Incite Violence?, Richard Wilson, Christine Lillie
Does Propaganda Incite Violence?, Richard Wilson, Christine Lillie
Richard Ashby Wilson
In America and abroad there is a renewed impetus to prosecute propagandists who incite others to commit acts of war, terrorism and genocide. While we may feel intuitively that the inciters should bear criminal responsibility, thus far the science supporting the position that extreme speech directly influences attitudes and behavior has been quite inconclusive. Therefore we set out to test the concrete effects of propaganda for war, drawing on the actual speeches of Vojislav Seselj, a Serb political leader presently awaiting judgment in The Hague for instigating murder, torture and deportation of Croat civilians in the early 1990s. We divided …
The Worst Of Both Worlds: The Wild West Of The “Legal” Marijuana Industry, Luke Scheuer
The Worst Of Both Worlds: The Wild West Of The “Legal” Marijuana Industry, Luke Scheuer
Luke M Scheuer
As states have legalized marijuana, they have created a booming industry that operates in violation of the federal Controlled Substances Abuse Act. Like the tobacco and alcohol industries, this new legal marijuana industry has the potential to do great harm to American consumers and communities if it is not disciplined and restrained in how it sells and develops its products. Unfortunately the federal government has not yet stepped in to regulate the industry and state governments have imposed only limited controls. In addition, because of the increased threat of criminal and civil liability hanging over the industry, it has been …
Libraries And Data, Darin Fox
Libraries And Data, Darin Fox
Darin K. Fox
We are on the threshold of an analytics revolution. It has become essential for law librarians to understand the data we produce and the data that is used to describe and compare our institutions. Law librarians must be able to locate, analyze, and present data. This chapter will describe the major sources of data used for library administration, collection building, teaching and research, and law school administration. These sources can be used by law library directors to evaluate budgets, collections, services, facilities, staffing, and more. This chapter will also provide an overview of key statistical terms and concepts that all …
The Responsibility Of Victory: Confronting The Systemic Subordination Of Lgbt Youth And Considering A Positive Role For The State, Julie Nice
Julie A. Nice
In light of the stunning cascade of recent victories ending some aspects of sexual orientation discrimination, this article calls for both the LGBT Rights Movement and the State to take responsibility for ending the systemic subordination of LGBT youth. This article’s first section synthesizes the alarming data demonstrating the disproportionate harms suffered by LGBT youth within the very institutions designed to protect them. Professor Nice categorizes these experiences as including rejection by families, hostility from faith communities, harshness from the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, harassment in schools, and destitution and violence on the streets. She further argues that …

The Pressure Is On—Criminal Defense Counsel Strategies After Padilla V. Kentucky, Bill Hing
The Pressure Is On—Criminal Defense Counsel Strategies After Padilla V. Kentucky, Bill Hing
Bill Ong Hing
The Supreme Court’s message to criminal defense attorneys in Padilla v. Kentucky was clear: when there is a risk of deportation, defense counsel has a constitutional duty to inform an immigrant defendant of the potential for deportation or adverse immigration consequences prior to pleading guilty. In my view, this constitutional duty places tremendous pressure on defense counsel to do more than advise, because once advised, the client very naturally may want to know what options are available other than going to trial. Rather than simply focusing on how to minimize the time of incarceration for the client under a particular …

The Implications Of Incorporating The Eighth Amendment Prohibition On Excessive Bail, Scott Howe
The Implications Of Incorporating The Eighth Amendment Prohibition On Excessive Bail, Scott Howe
Scott W. Howe
In its opinion in McDonald v. City of Chicago, 130 S.Ct. 3020 (2010), concerning the incorporation of the Second Amendment, the Supreme Court included a footnote that listed the Eighth Amendment prohibition on excessive bail as one of the incorporated Bill of Rights protections. Oddly, the Court had never incorporated the bail clause or even explained what protections it conferred. While strange, these circumstances provide a rare opportunity to reason backward from incorporation to the meaning of the incorporated provision. And by pursuing those backward implications, the paper offers novel arguments about the proper understanding of the bail clause.
I …

Ethics, Morality, And Disruption Of U.S. Immigration Laws, Bill Hing
Ethics, Morality, And Disruption Of U.S. Immigration Laws, Bill Hing
Bill Ong Hing
In this essay, I review Department of Homeland Security immigration enforcement tools and what I feel is the unnecessary havoc that they wreak on immigrant communities. In the process, I describe the resistance to these policies by immigrants and their supporters who have attempted to disrupt the enforcement tools. Immigrants and their supporters are attempting to raise awareness of better strategies to resolve whatever problems are perceived to exist. I also argue that the disruptive tactics by immigrants and their supporters have actually helped to push the Obama administration into engaging in disruptive innovation of its own with respect to …

"I Still Live In Guantanamo!" Human Rights Abuses Continue After Detainees Leave Guantanamo, Peter Honigsberg
"I Still Live In Guantanamo!" Human Rights Abuses Continue After Detainees Leave Guantanamo, Peter Honigsberg
Peter J Honigsberg
In November 2014, the U.S. government transferred Yemeni national Hussein Al-marfadi, from the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba detention center to the nation of Slovakia. He had never been charged with a crime, and had been cleared for release nearly five years before his transfer to Slovakia. Three months later, in February 2015, the Witness to Guantanamo project (W2G) interviewed Al-marfadi in Zvolen, a town in central Slovakia. Although physically and psychologically scarred from his 12 years of detention, Al-marfadi was an engaging, even-tempered and thoughtful man.
However, when W2G asked Al-marfadi about his life today, his composure and even-tempered tone transformed …
Notes From A New Underground: The Intersection Of Russian Orthodoxy, Religious Liberty, Lgbt Rights, And State Authority, John Ehrett
John Ehrett
Current laws in the Russian Federation impose sanctions against both speech deemed offensive to Russia’s traditional religious groups, and speech considered “propaganda” of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. This Featured Note offers a contemporary examination of the historical, cultural and political forces underlying these ongoing trends, and offers an interdisciplinary consideration of issues surrounding the intersection of liberty of religious expression with liberty of LGBT expression in Vladimir Putin’s Russia. This is historically contextualized through consideration of the political integration of church and state as a contributing factor toward limitations on these political freedoms. Ultimately, a vision …
African Migration To The United States: Assigned To The Back Of The Bus, Bill Hing
African Migration To The United States: Assigned To The Back Of The Bus, Bill Hing
Bill Ong Hing
This book project, timed on the fiftieth anniversary of the 1965 immigration amendments, recognizes many significant effects that the amendments have had on the United States. In many ways—particularly with respect to dramatic demographic changes in Latino and Asian Pacific American communities—the amendments might be regarded as integral to the perpetuation of the United States as a land of immigrants. Yet, when it comes to residents of African descent after the end of slavery, the 1965 changes have had relatively little to do with facilitating the entry of African migrants to our shores.
In this book chapter, I discuss the …
Land And Law In The Age Of Enterprise: A Legal History Of Railroad Land Grants In The Pacific Northwest, 1864-1916, Sean Kammer
Land And Law In The Age Of Enterprise: A Legal History Of Railroad Land Grants In The Pacific Northwest, 1864-1916, Sean Kammer
Sean Kammer
Federal land subsidies to railroad corporations comprised an important part of the federal government’s policies towards its western land domain in the middle decades of the nineteenth century. In all, Congress granted over a hundred million acres to railroad corporations to subsidize construction of a transcontinental railway network. Long after the last such grant in 1871, these land grants continued to incite political contests in Congress and state legislatures and legal disputes in communities across the West. By the end of the century, railroad corporations had become manifestations not just of the threatening growth of corporate power in the United …
Medical Debt As A Cause Of Consumer Bankruptcy, Daniel Austin
Medical Debt As A Cause Of Consumer Bankruptcy, Daniel Austin
Daniel A. Austin
During his 2009 State of the Union Address, President Obama urged Americans to support healthcare reform, stating “[t]his is a cost that now causes a bankruptcy in America every thirty seconds.” That attention-grabbing statistic was based on a 2009 study, co-authored by now Sen. Elizabeth Warren, which concluded that 62.1% of consumer bankruptcies are medical bankruptcies. The figure has been widely cited by lawmakers, academics, and in the media. Other researchers dispute the study findings, and the issue of medical bankruptcies continues to be a focal point in debates over healthcare policy and bankruptcy law reform.
Several other studies have …
Toward A Textualist Paradigm For Interpreting Emoticons, John Ehrett
Toward A Textualist Paradigm For Interpreting Emoticons, John Ehrett
John Ehrett
This Essay evaluates the dimensions of courts’ current interpretive dilemma, and subsequently sketches a possible framework for extending traditional statutory interpretation principles into this new domain. Throughout the analysis, the Essay describes the process of attaching cognizable linguistic referents to emoticons and emojis throughout as symbolical reification, and proposes a normative way forward for those tasked with deriving meaning from emoji-laden communications.
