Going Rogue: Mobile Research Applications And The Right To Privacy, Stacey A. Tovino Jan 2019

Going Rogue: Mobile Research Applications And The Right To Privacy, Stacey A. Tovino

Faculty Articles

This Article investigates whether nonsectoral state laws may serve as a viable source of privacy and security standards for mobile health research participants and other health data subjects until new federal laws are created or enforced. In particular, this Article (1) catalogues and analyzes the nonsectoral data privacy, security, and breach notification statutes of all fifty states and the District of Columbia; (2) applies these statutes to mobile-app-mediated health research conducted by independent scientists, citizen scientists, and patient researchers; and (3) proposes substantive amendments to state law that could help protect the privacy and security of all health data subjects, …

Mdl Immunity: Lessons From The National Prescription Opiate Litigation, Roger Michalski Jan 2019

Mdl Immunity: Lessons From The National Prescription Opiate Litigation, Roger Michalski

Faculty Articles

Federal multi-district litigation (“MDL”) suffers from a massive blind spot that has largely escaped notice: it only selects cases based on “convenience,” “efficiency,” and the preservation of judicial resources. The statute does not take into account broader societal and governmental interests that can trump litigation efficiency arguments. One way to fix this blind spot is through the new concept of MDL immunity (a procedural rather than liability immunity). This doctrinal innovation would exempt cases by and against government entities from generalized MDL treatment. I make the doctrinal argument for MDL immunity informed by original data collected from hundreds of cases …


Should Robots Prosecute And Defend?, Stephen E. Henderson Jan 2019

Should Robots Prosecute And Defend?, Stephen E. Henderson

Faculty Articles

Even when we achieve the ‘holy grail’ of artificial intelligence—machine intelligence that is at least as smart as a human being in every area of thought—there may be classes of decisions for which it is intrinsically important to retain a human in the loop. On the common account of American criminal adjudication, the role of prosecutor seems to include such decisions given the largely unreviewable declination authority, whereas the role of defense counsel would seem fully susceptible of automation. And even for the prosecutor, the benefits of automation might outweigh the intrinsic decision-making loss, given that the ultimate decision—by judge …


The Misadventure Of Copyrighting State Law, Eric E. Johnson Jan 2019

The Misadventure Of Copyrighting State Law, Eric E. Johnson

Faculty Articles

Many states have asserted copyright over their own official state legal texts, limiting access to those materials and attempting to monetize them. This Article aims to provide helpful analysis for state officials deciding whether to pursue such policies and for courts reviewing challenges to such practices. Prior scholarship in this area has focused on the issue of whether such copyright assertions can be valid under federal law given the inherent conflicts they pose to due process and democratic ideals. This Article aims to expand this dialogue in a couple of ways-first, by situating the controversy within the broader arc of …


Universities As Vehicles For Immigrant Integration, Kit Johnson Jan 2019

Universities As Vehicles For Immigrant Integration, Kit Johnson

Faculty Articles

This Essay discusses how universities could play a productive role in helping potential future U.S. citizens feel a sense of belonging to the United States. This discussion is prompted by, and is offered as a reaction to, Chapter Four of Professor Ming Hsu Chen’s forthcoming book, Constructing Citizenship for Noncitizens. In that chapter, Professor Chen focuses on the “blocked pathways to citizenship” experienced by international students, temporary workers, and DACA recipients in the United States. Professor Chen notes that these three groups of noncitizens share a common thread of status insecurity, and she explores how this challenges their integration into …


Institutional Independence: Lawyers And The Administrative State, Melissa Mortazavi Jan 2019

Institutional Independence: Lawyers And The Administrative State, Melissa Mortazavi

Faculty Articles

The institutional structure where federal government lawyers practice is fraught with political and economic pressures that undermine the ability of lawyers to exercise independent professional judgment. A lack of candid legal advice in this space not only removes a pivotal fail-safe between legal and illegal state action but also precariously imbalances the powerful administrative state, exposing it to undue political influence. For these reasons, this Article argues that structural changes to administrative institutions must be made to support and nurture lawyers’ ability to independently determine the bounds of legality. Previous scholarship has examined the role of professional independence for lawyers …

Simplified Courts Can't Solve Inequality, Colleen Shanahan, Anna Carpenter Jan 2019

Simplified Courts Can't Solve Inequality, Colleen Shanahan, Anna Carpenter

Faculty Articles

State civil courts struggle to handle the volume of cases before them. Litigants in these courts, most of whom are unrepresented, struggle to navigate the courts to solve their problems. This access-to-justice crisis has led to a range of reform efforts and solutions. One type of reform, court simplification, strives to reduce the complexity of procedures and information used by courts to help unrepresented litigants navigate the judicial system. These reforms mitigate but do not solve the symptoms of the larger underlying problem: state civil courts are struggling because they have been stuck with legal cases that arise from the …


The Mythology Of Sanctuary Cities, Kit Johnson Jan 2019

The Mythology Of Sanctuary Cities, Kit Johnson

Faculty Articles

Sanctuary jurisdictions — be they cities, counties, or states — employ various means of disentangling local law enforcement from federal civil immigration enforcement. Much of the criticism directed at these “sanctuary cities” revolves around a set of myths — such as that these jurisdictions are lawless or dangerous. This Essay identifies nine myths about sanctuary cities and subjects each to a fact-based shakedown.


Owning Colors, Deborah Gerhardt, Jon J. Lee Jan 2019

Owning Colors, Deborah Gerhardt, Jon J. Lee

Faculty Articles

Color is powerful. Historically, colors have been invested with mystical, symbolic, and religious significance. We are biologically wired to respond to color cues. A particular color may stimulate emotion, activate memory, and influence perception of the passage of time. Yet the omnipresence of color in our visual world is just the beginning of the story. We have learned to attach many meanings to colors through our lived experiences. Colors have become heuristics for even our abstract ideas. They connect communities. They unite and divide sports fans. They may be shorthand for gender identity, sexual orientation, race, and political identity. Although …


Code Of Silence, Melissa Mortazavi Jan 2019

Code Of Silence, Melissa Mortazavi

Faculty Articles

To read the literature on professional responsibility is to inhabit a world focused on what is said explicitly about what it means to be a lawyer: the aspirations of the canons, the commands of the Model Rules of Professional Responsibility, the clarifications of court and ethics opinions, and the guidance of the Restatement. However, it often neglects what is not said: spaces where silence reigns. This article takes a different approach; it listens to the taciturn. This article draws insight from when the bar chooses to be silent in the face of widely known violations of the law of lawyering. …


The (Next) Big Short And The End Of The Anthropocene, M. Alexander Pearl Jan 2019

The (Next) Big Short And The End Of The Anthropocene, M. Alexander Pearl

Faculty Articles

It is incredibly difficult to imagine an event the likes of which humans have never seen before. That, in and of itself renders the challenge to prepare for such an event even more difficult because there is no frame of reference pushing us to act. How do you prepare to avoid something which has never occurred in the history of human occupation? That is the challenge of climate change. I argue that the Subprime Mortgage Crisis and its aftermath parallel the Climate Crisis in critical ways that should inform our tactics. Of course, there are obvious critical differences as well. …
