Fall 2017 Symposium: The Challenge Of Crime In A Free Society: Fifty Years Later, Roger Fairfax
Fall 2017 Symposium: The Challenge Of Crime In A Free Society: Fifty Years Later, Roger Fairfax
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
My longstanding interest in the Johnson Crime Commission traces back to my earlier scholarly work on the history of criminal law reform movements, going back to the progressive criminal justice reform agenda in the early twentieth century and the activities of private law-reform coalitions and government-sponsored crime commissions during the interwar period, including the Wickersham Commission and the American Law Institute's various model code projects. This research eventually led me to the Johnson Commission, the subject of this Symposium.

Concurrent Panels V: Litigating Sexual Assault Cases, Brenda V. Smith, Julie Abbate, Laura Ives, Nicole Schult
Presentations
This panel will address how to represent and litigate cases involving sexual assault against incarcerated men and women. Panelists will discuss what investigations help set up the strongest claims, and how to coordinate with other agencies before filing; how to conduct discovery to prove your case, and how PREA fits into a sexual assault case; and provide context about sexual assault in prisons and jails, as well as provide perspective about litigation going on in other spaces.

Reports
In 2016 according to the U.S. Department of Justice, 856,130 youth were arrested and 45,567 juveniles were held in 1,772 residential juvenile facilities across the country. Detained and confined youth share many characteristics: most are from poor communities and lack access to quality health care. Mental illness and sexually transmitted infections are prevalent. Compared to their non-confined counterparts, incarcerated youth also experience higher rates of substance abuse and homelessness, are educationally behind their peers, are disproportionately identified as needing special education services, and are more likely to have had traumatic experiences (including sexual and emotional abuse) and injuries including traumatic …
Brief For The R Street Institute And Engine Advocacy As Amici Curiae In Support Of Respondents, Charles Duan
Brief For The R Street Institute And Engine Advocacy As Amici Curiae In Support Of Respondents, Charles Duan
Amicus Briefs
Under 35 U.S.C. § 102, an inventor may not obtain a patent on an invention that has been “on sale” for more than a year. The question is whether, from this so-called on-sale bar, certain classes of sales should be exempted— sales under a confidentiality agreement, in Petitioner’s view; and sales to those other than the ultimate customers, according to the government.

Supreme Court Of Canada On The Appropriateness And Scope Of A Global Website Takedown Order, Jennifer C. Daskal
Supreme Court Of Canada On The Appropriateness And Scope Of A Global Website Takedown Order, Jennifer C. Daskal
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
In Google v. Equustek, the Supreme Court of Canada ordered Google to delist all websites used by Datalink, a company that stole trade secrets from Equustek, a Canada-based information technology company. Google had agreed to do so in part, but with respect to searches that originated from google.ca only, the default browser for those in Canada. Equustek however, argued the takedowns needed to be global in order to be effective. It thus sought an injunction ordering Google to delist the allegedly infringing websites from all of Google's search engines whether accessed from google.ca, google.com, or any other entry point. Google …
The User Rights Database: Measuring The Impact Of Opening Copyright Exceptions, Sean Flynn, Michael Palmedo
The User Rights Database: Measuring The Impact Of Opening Copyright Exceptions, Sean Flynn, Michael Palmedo
Joint PIJIP/TLS Research Paper Series
International and domestic copyright law reform around the world is increasingly focused on how copyright exceptions — a.k.a. “user rights” —should be expanded to promote maximum innovation, creativity, and access to knowledge in the digital age. These efforts are guided by a relatively rich theoretical literature. However, few empirical studies explore the social and economic impact of expanding user rights in the digital era. One reason for this gap has been the absence of a tool measuring the key independent variable – changes in copyright user rights over time and between countries. We are developing such a tool, which we …

Another View Of The Cathedral: What Does The Rule Of Law Crisis Tell Us About Democratizing The Eu?, Fernanda Nicola
Another View Of The Cathedral: What Does The Rule Of Law Crisis Tell Us About Democratizing The Eu?, Fernanda Nicola
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INTRODUCTION: The rule of law in the EU is in crisis. The independence of national judiciaries in Hungary and Poland is under attack by governments that call themselves ‘illiberal’ democracies. Not surprisingly, scholars pointing to the cracks in the EU architecture have offered some solutions to avoid its collapse. These solutions range from the Commission enforcing a rule of law framework by bringing systemic infringement actions based on democratic values enshrined in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) or by cutting EU cohesion funds to the autocrats. Both solutions seem to have been taken seriously in Luxembourg …
International Arbitration - Between Myth And Reality: The 9th John E.C. Brierly Memorial Lecture, Susan Franck
International Arbitration - Between Myth And Reality: The 9th John E.C. Brierly Memorial Lecture, Susan Franck
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
The first woman to deliver the John E.C. Brierly Memorial Lecture in November 2016, Susan Franck explores common but flawed accounts of international arbitration based on anecdotes and myths while encouraging the audience to pay more attention to scientific facts. While acknowledging the challenges of living in a “post-factual” society, she argues that international arbitration, whether commercial or investment-based, is caught within a larger geo-political maelstrom which includes a backlash against globalization, the popularization of populism, and a turn toward nationalism. Rather than permitting decisions to be affected by an emotive torrent of intuitive forces that facilitate decisions based upon …
