Volo Foundation Lecture: Science, Free Speech, And Public Choice, Bret Stephens
Volo Foundation Lecture: Science, Free Speech, And Public Choice, Bret Stephens
FIU Law Review
In an era where science, free speech, and public choice clash, the historical unity between these pillars, as envisioned by America's founding fathers, is obscured. Examining Thomas Jefferson's reverence for Bacon, Locke, and Newton, reveals a past where reason and freedom intertwined. However, contemporary challenges, epitomized by the pandemic response, illustrate a divergence. Amidst censorship and expert dominance, the vital role of public scrutiny emerges. Acknowledging the fallibility of experts and embracing free speech as essential for reasoned discourse becomes imperative. To restore the balance, humility from scientific institutions, a renewed appreciation for free speech, and public courage are necessary …
Reforming The Federal Regulatory Review Process, Joanne Spalding, Andres Restrepo
Reforming The Federal Regulatory Review Process, Joanne Spalding, Andres Restrepo
FIU Law Review
For decades, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) has overseen the development of federal regulatory policies with a strong emphasis on benefit-cost analysis. Despite its conceptual appeal, this analytic tool consistently shortchanges environmental and public health protection, with especially negative consequences for environmental justice communities. In this article, we address some of those shortcomings, focusing in particular on the standard agency practice of arithmetically discounting regulatory costs and benefits that accrue in the future. We propose that the OIRA abandon this practice as it relates to non-market goods, such as human lives saved, and instead work toward a …
Five Considerations For Twenty-First Century Climate Policy, Matthew G. Burgess
Five Considerations For Twenty-First Century Climate Policy, Matthew G. Burgess
FIU Law Review
As the twenty-first century advances, society is entering a new phase regarding climate change. Impacts of climate change are becoming more salient in the present, rather than being only far-off in the future. Progress on flattening—and in many affluent countries, reducing—greenhouse gas emissions is also becoming salient, though the progress underperforms international targets. Slowing economic growth and major technological and geopolitical disruptions are creating new challenges and uncertainties. One of these challenges is a political climate of deep divisions and rising distrust in fact-finding institutions—a climate that is ripe for demagoguery. In the United States and some other countries, the …
Rational Investing Or Speculative Fever?: Spacs, Robinhood, And Digital Assets—Securities Markets Or Casinos?, Thomas Lee Hazen
Rational Investing Or Speculative Fever?: Spacs, Robinhood, And Digital Assets—Securities Markets Or Casinos?, Thomas Lee Hazen
FIU Law Review
This article focuses a recurring theme – speculation in the financial markets. The 2010-2020 decade set the stage for a new round of speculative activity starting in 2021. In the article that follows I reflect on a new wave of speculation and three current examples of speculative activity. The article concludes that regulators should be cautious about over-regulation of SPACs and gamified trading. The article also supports the regulation of digital assets (crypto currencies and NFTs) as securities.

Tarnished Gold: The Endangered Species Act At 50, Jonathan H. Adler
Tarnished Gold: The Endangered Species Act At 50, Jonathan H. Adler
FIU Law Review
The ESA is arguably the most powerful and stringent federal environmental law on the books. Yet for all of the Act’s force and ambition, it is unclear how much the law has done much to achieve its central purpose: the conservation of endangered species. The law has been slow to recover listed species and has fostered conflict over land use and scientific determinations that frustrate cooperative conservation efforts. The Article aims to take stock of the ESA’s success and failures during its first fifty years, particularly with regard the conservation of species habitat on private land. While the Act authorizes …

From The Great Recession To The Covid-19 Pandemic: A Financial History Of The United States 2010-2020—A Comparison Of The Government’S Response To The Two Financial Crises That Bookended The 2010 To 2020 Decade, Lissa Lamkin Broome
FIU Law Review
This article compares the government's legislative and regulatory response to each of the two financial crises that bookended the 2010-2020 decade and how the response to the COVID-19 crisis was affected by various provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act enacted in 2010 in response to the 2008 financial crisis. The article concludes with six lessons we learned from these two financial crises experienced in relatively short order: act fast, act with force, act on multiple fronts, regain or retain citizens' confidence in the financial system, ensure access to liquidity, and aid those who are struggling.

Entre La Espada Y La Pared: Obstacles To U.S. Investment In Cuba, Thais Lopez
Entre La Espada Y La Pared: Obstacles To U.S. Investment In Cuba, Thais Lopez
FIU Law Review
Investing in Cuba poses several obstacles to U.S. investors. Cuba’s new Law of Foreign Investment and new Constitution do not provide remedies or protections against the state’s takings of private property or imprisonment without charge. On the U.S. side, Title III of the Helms-Burton Act has made U.S. investors the most vulnerable to claims worth billions in damages under the Act.
"Common But Differentiated Responsibilities” In The Paris Agreement, Henrique Schneider
"Common But Differentiated Responsibilities” In The Paris Agreement, Henrique Schneider
FIU Law Review
The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, epitomizes a political approach to climate action, devoid of scientific oversight at its inception. This political nature underscores its essence, emphasizing action over guaranteed results. With a foundation in "common but differentiated responsibilities" (CBDR), nations set diverse climate goals based on unique circumstances. However, this diversity complicates policy alignment and raises challenging questions, such as the feasibility of carbon border adjustments and intellectual property dilution. Analyzing CBDR within the Paris Agreement framework unveils its evolution, shaped by political negotiations and national actions. This study delves into the intricate interplay between politics, policy, and international …
The Modern Border: The Government Can Search . . . Anything?, Abigail Nusbaum
The Modern Border: The Government Can Search . . . Anything?, Abigail Nusbaum
FIU Law Review
The evolution of modern technology has introduced new obstacles in interpreting the Fourth Amendment’s application to searches of peoples’ effects. Specifically, the longstanding exception to the Fourth Amendment permitting searches at the international border in the absence of probable cause does not so neatly apply to forensic searches of cell phones. Consequently, a circuit split has emerged on two aspects of the issue: the scope of the border exception and the requisite level of suspicion within that exception. The Supreme Court should find that forensic cell phone searches at the international border implicate Fourth Amendment privacy interests, requiring the border …
An Unauthorized Renaissance? An Analysis Of Artists’ Claims For Copyright Infringement Against Ai Generated Art And Possible Defenses, Victoria Young
An Unauthorized Renaissance? An Analysis Of Artists’ Claims For Copyright Infringement Against Ai Generated Art And Possible Defenses, Victoria Young
FIU Law Review
AI currently presents a novel issue in terms of copyright infringement, specifically AI generated art. Recently, a group of artists filed a class action lawsuit against several AI generated art companies. This comment evaluates the potential avenues the court may take. The artists allege these AI generated art companies directly infringed on their copyrighted works by making unauthorized copies of copyrighted works which they used to train their machine learning programs. A determination on whether AI generated art constitutes copyright infringement has not been made by the courts before. To bring a successful copyright infringement claim, a party must show …
Keeping The Perpetual In Florida's Conservation Easements, Nancy A. Mclaughlin
Keeping The Perpetual In Florida's Conservation Easements, Nancy A. Mclaughlin
FIU Law Review
Hundreds of millions of dollars are being invested in the protection of the Florida Wildlife Corridor and other environmentally sensitive lands. One of the primary tools being used to accomplish this protection is the perpetual conservation easement, which is touted to landowners and the public as providing a permanent guarantee that the subject lands will never be developed. There is a very real danger, however, that perpetual conservation easements in Florida may not, in fact, be perpetual, and the protections put in place today will vanish over time—along with the public funds invested therein—as government and nonprofit holders “release” the …
Against Self-Defeating Climate Policy, Michael Buschbacher
Against Self-Defeating Climate Policy, Michael Buschbacher
FIU Law Review
This paper contends that the narrow Overton window on climate policy is self-defeating to the goals of many climate activists and policymakers. It gives three examples of policies that do little to address carbon emissions and are likely to fail: (1) how decarbonization policies are destroying electric grid reliability; (2) how the attempt to eliminate the internal combustion engine is leading to the “Cuba-fication” of the automotive fleet; and (3) how the focus on reducing domestic carbon emissions leads to regulatory arbitrage. The paper provides three corresponding recommendations, contending (1) that states should eliminate RTOs and ISOs in favor of …
Inadequate Demonstration: Epa’S Latest Effort To Force A Clean Energy Transition On The Power Sector Rests On Technologies That Have Not Been Adequately Demonstrated, Mario Loyola
FIU Law Review
The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposed regulations of power plant carbon emissions under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act, which were proposed in May of 2023, raise a number of concerns. The proposed regulations target a transition in the U.S. power sector towards clean energy, relying heavily on Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) and green hydrogen technologies to achieve nearly net zero carbon emissions from existing fossil fuel power plants. These technologies, however, do not seem to satisfy the Section 111 requirement that the Best System of Emissions Reduction (BSER) be adequately demonstrated at the scale and for the …

Transition-Denial And Structural Adjustment: Causation And Culpability In The Cuban Economy Culpability In The Cuban Economy, Jose Gabilondo
Faculty Publications
In 2020, Cuba implemented the Tarea Ordenamiento (Tarea), the most significant economic reform since the construction of the socialist economy after the Revolution. Signaling an eclectic brand of Cuban socialism, the Tarea clears away three decades of tried and failed economic doctrines, drawing a new fiscal border around state enterprises, nodding to market realities, and preparing the island for greater insertion into the world economy. While the political economy of post-Castro Cuba has changed in this way, the United States continues to subject the island to an unprecedented program of unilateral sanctions, universally condemned as a breach of human rights, …
