Juliana V. United States: Debating The Fundamentals Of The Fundamental Right To A Sustainable Climate, Erin Ryan
Scholarly Publications
This article, based on a live discussion among a panel of national experts, dissects the landmark federal climate lawsuit, Juliana v. United States, 217 F. Supp. 3d 1224 (D. Or. 2016). Juliana is the flagship case in a series of legal actions brought by youth plaintiffs challenging government failures to regulate to prevent climate change. However, few have come as far as Juliana, which has so far survived motions to dismiss from both the government and fossil fuels industry, a motion for interlocutory appeal to the Ninth Circuit to dismiss the case, and even a rare petition for writ of …

Localism, Labels And Animal Welfare, Samuel R. Wiseman
Localism, Labels And Animal Welfare, Samuel R. Wiseman
Scholarly Publications
The law does relatively little to improve the welfare of animals raised for food. In the short term, at least, market-based solutions appear to have more promise as a means of promoting farm animal welfare, as consumers increasingly seek out local and humanelyraised meat and eggs. To aid consumers in identifying these products, certification systems of varying degrees of rigor exist, but even these are of little use to consumers in the restaurant context, which accounts for a large percentage of meat consumption. Patrons see only finished meals, making fraud difficult to detect, and a recent newspaper investigation suggests that …

The Misconstruction Of The Deductions For Business And Personal Casualty Losses, Jeffrey H. Kahn
The Misconstruction Of The Deductions For Business And Personal Casualty Losses, Jeffrey H. Kahn
Scholarly Publications
Losses suffered on an individual's personally used property generally are not deductible. Even after the changes made by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, in two circumstances an exception to this rule applies when "such losses arise from.fire, storm, shipwreck, or other casualty, or from theft." The principal issue that arises is determining the meaning of the term "other casualty." Taking what they deemed to be the common elements in the three explicitly identified casualties, the courts and the Internal Revenue Service determined that an event will qualify as an "other casualty" only if it is "sudden," "unusual," and …
Antitrust And Inequality: The Problem Of Super-Firms, Shi-Ling Hsu
Antitrust And Inequality: The Problem Of Super-Firms, Shi-Ling Hsu
Scholarly Publications
Increasing concern about economic inequality has coincided with an unsettling ascendancy of some large, technologically integrated “super-firms,” which have grabbed large market shares in multiple markets, and cast doubt upon the future viability of a wide range of businesses, many of which have been important local and regional employers. It is thus unsurprising that these two trends have knocked together in public discourse, and that antitrust law been proposed as one way of helping to remedy economic inequality. This essay notes that antitrust law is generally a poor fit for reducing economic inequality, but one aspect is worthy of note: …

The Federal Equity Power, Michael T. Morley
The Federal Equity Power, Michael T. Morley
Scholarly Publications
Throughout the first century and a half of our nation’s history, federal courts treated equity as a type of general law. They applied a uniform, freestanding body of principles derived from the English Court of Chancery to all equitable issues that came before them, regardless of whether a case arose under federal or state law. In 1945, in Guaranty Trust Co. v. York, the United States Supreme Court held that, notwithstanding the changes wrought by the Erie Doctrine, federal courts may continue to rely on these traditional principles of equity to determine the availability of equitable relief, such as injunctions, …
Election Emergencies: Voting In The Wake Of Natural Disasters And Terrorist Attacks, Michael T. Morley
Election Emergencies: Voting In The Wake Of Natural Disasters And Terrorist Attacks, Michael T. Morley
Scholarly Publications
Our electoral system is vulnerable to terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and other calamities that can render polling places inaccessible, trigger mass evacuations, or disrupt governmental operations to the point that conducting an election becomes impracticable. Many states lack “election emergency” laws that empower officials to adequately respond to these crises. As a result, courts are frequently called upon to adjudicate the consequences of election emergencies as a matter of constitutional law, often applying vague, subjective, ad hoc standards in rushed, politically charged proceedings. This Article examines the legal steps various government actors took in response to terrorist attacks and natural …

Breathing Air With Heft: An Experiential Report On Environmental Law And Public Health In China, Erin Ryan
Scholarly Publications
This article explores the gritty intersections of daily life and environmental law in modern China, an industrial powerhouse still struggling to reconcile economic opportunity with breathable air, clean water, healthy food, and safe products. With comparative perspective on analogous challenges in the United States, the article reports on these critical domestic challenges for China at a pivotal moment in its reemergence as a dominant world power. China’s continued geopolitical rise may well hinge on its ability to respond successfully to the environmental causes of growing social unrest. In 2011, in the midst of this maelstrom, I brought my husband, young …

The Substitute And Complement Theories Of Judicial Review, David Landau
The Substitute And Complement Theories Of Judicial Review, David Landau
Scholarly Publications
Constitutional theory has hypothesized two distinct and contradictory ways in which judicial review may interact with external political and social support. One line of scholarship has argued that judicial review and external support are substitutes. Thus, "political safeguard" theorists of American federalism and the separation of powers argue that these constitutional values are enforced through the political branches, making judicial review unnecessary. However, a separate line of work, mostly composed of social scientists examining rights issues, argues that the relationship between courts and outside support is complementary-judges are unlikely to succeed in their projects unless they have sufficient assistance from …
Algorithmic Contracts, Lauren Henry Scholz
Algorithmic Contracts, Lauren Henry Scholz
Scholarly Publications
Algorithmic contracts are contracts in which an algorithm determines a party’s obligations. Some contracts are algorithmic because the parties used algorithms as negotiators before contract formation, choosing which terms to offer or accept. Other contracts are algorithmic because the parties agree that an algorithm to be run at some time after the contract formation will serve as a gap-filler. Such agreements are already common in high speed trading of financial products and will soon spread to other contexts. However, contract law doctrine does not currently have a coherent approach to describing the creation and enforcement of algorithmic contracts. This Article …

Vulnerable Insiders: Constitutional Design, International Law And The Victims Of Armed Conflict In Colombia, David Landau
Vulnerable Insiders: Constitutional Design, International Law And The Victims Of Armed Conflict In Colombia, David Landau
Scholarly Publications
This article, prepared for a conference on “The External Dimensions of Constitutions” held at the University of Cambridge in September 2016, explains how the Colombian Constitutional Court constructed a set of rights for a group of vulnerable insiders—victims of the country’s long-running internal armed conflict. The Court based its jurisprudence on a 1991 constitutional design that turned towards international law as a way of resolving a severe domestic crisis of violence and legitimacy. The Court has drawn heavily on principles of international human rights law and international humanitarian law to develop a set of protections for Colombia’s massive population of …

New Fasb Rules For Leases: A Sarbanes-Oxley Promise Delivered, Donald J. Weidner
Scholarly Publications
Congress responded to the first financial accounting scandals of the new millennium by enacting the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which required the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to study issuers’ filings and report on whether their financial statements reflect the economics of off-balance sheet arrangements to investors in a transparent fashion. In 2005, the SEC reported that there “may be approximately $1.25 trillion in non-cancellable future cash obligations committed under operating leases that are not recognized on issuer balance sheets, but are instead disclosed in the notes to the financial statements." Accordingly, the SEC requested that the Financial Accounting Standards …

Are Trademarks Ever Fanciful?, Jake Linford
Are Trademarks Ever Fanciful?, Jake Linford
Scholarly Publications
A fanciful trademark-a made-up word like Swiffer for mops or Xerox for photocopiers-is presumed to neither describe nor suggest any qualities of the product associated with the mark. This presumption is consistent with the theory of linguistic arbitrariness: there exists no connection between a given word (tree) and the thing signified by the word (a large woody plant). Because a fanciful mark is assumed to be an empty vessel, meaningless until used as a trademark, it qualifies for protection from first use and receives broader protection against infringement than other categories of trademarks.
Research into sound symbolism challenges the theory …
