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 …

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 …
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 …
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 …
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, …
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.
Why Are Post-Conflict Countries More Inequitable?, Claire Cole
Why Are Post-Conflict Countries More Inequitable?, Claire Cole
Belmont University Research Symposium (BURS)
Why is there continuing socio-economic inequity in post-conflict countries? Post-conflict governments are too weak to prosper and function cleanly, resorting to making deals with and allowing multinational corporations inside its system, resulting in governmental capture. Multinational corporations contribute to the disparity of wealth in post-conflict zones, often ignoring the community and partnering with the government. There is a question of whether Western and European countries actually have a humanitarian interest or self-interest in post-conflict countries. This research includes a comparative study that aims to show how foreign investment shifts during conflict, where each country scores on transparency and corruption; where …
Party Alignment On Gun Laws: Urban V.S. Rural, Roz Rozner
Party Alignment On Gun Laws: Urban V.S. Rural, Roz Rozner
Belmont University Research Symposium (BURS)
Mass shootings in the United States have led to debate about gun rights and increased division over the second amendment. Have parties’ positions on gun laws affected voter alignment? This study seeks to determine the effects of restrictive gun laws over time on party alignment within the United States. The urban rural divide in the United States has played a distinctive role in voter alignment on issues like restrictive gun laws. To evaluate this claim, this study uses the Pew Research Center and other opinion polls from the last twenty years to determine whether restrictive gun laws produce higher levels …

Innovator Liability And Prescription Medication: A Stopgap Measure Patients Deserve, Will True
Innovator Liability And Prescription Medication: A Stopgap Measure Patients Deserve, Will True
Belmont Health Law Journal
This Note argues that in the absence of an updated statute and FDA regulation, states should permit plaintiffs to recover under the theory of innovator liability. Despite the theory’s arguable contravention of “traditional common law tort principles” and potentially unfair results against brand-name manufacturers, victims of defective drugs and inadequate warnings should have an avenue for recourse. Forfeiting one’s ability to recover potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages in exchange for paying a cheaper price for medication is not a fair trade. Indeed, the Supreme Court in PLIVA, Inc. v. Mensing (discussed in Section II and arguably the …

An Update Is Required To Continue Using This Regulation: Why The Hipaa Privacy Rule Should Be Modified To Protect A Broader Range Of Health Data, Lauren Caverly Pratt
Belmont Health Law Journal
While there is no constitutional right to privacy of information, general public sentiment leans in favor of keeping personal health data private. More precisely, individuals would like information known only to the individual and other parties to whom he or she chooses to disclose the information. This is because public knowledge of sensitive personal data may harm the individual economically, socially, or in other intangible ways. The benefits of public knowledge of such individually identifiable health data do not outweigh these potential harms. Privacy should be the default.
To achieve this, HIPAA must be expanded to protect private health data …

House Bill 1316 & Senate Bill 0538: Paid Leave For Adoptive And Foster Parents, Lilia Zylstra, Caroline Shutley, Sydney Reyes, Evelyn Mankowski
Belmont University Research Symposium (BURS)
House Bill 1316 and its companion Senate Bill 0538 propose that employees of the state of Tennessee should be allotted up to 6 weeks paid leave if they become a foster parent to a minor or adopt a minor. To better understand HB 1316 and SB 0538 from a social work perspective, it is vital to examine how the proposed bill promotes the importance of human relationships, the dignity and worth of a person, and social justice—while also recognizing where the bill has room for growth. This study of HB1316 will provide an in-depth analysis of the bill from a …
