Plagiarism In Cyberspace: Learning The Rules Of Recycling Content With A View Towards Nurturing Academic Trust In An Electronic World, Deborah R. Gerhardt
Plagiarism In Cyberspace: Learning The Rules Of Recycling Content With A View Towards Nurturing Academic Trust In An Electronic World, Deborah R. Gerhardt
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Plagiarism is an issue of trust. If we respect honor codes, we gain the comfort of knowing that what we read is spoken in the voice of the author and what we write will not be misrepresented as someone else’s original work. Are these simple comforts anachronistic? Perhaps. Acts of plagiarism among students are on the rise, and recently, a series of famous academics, historians, journalists, and even a Tony-award nominated playwright have been accused of plagiarism. If our academic communities hope to reverse this trend, we must reflect on how and why plagiarism occurs and what we can do …

Teaching A Man To Fish: Why National Legislation Anchored In Notice And Consent Provisions Is The Most Effective Solution To The Spyware Problem, M. Angela Buenaventura
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
The term “spyware” encompasses a wide range of software designed to intercept or take partial control of a computer. Spyware slows down computers and forces computer users to expend resources on repair and installation of protective software. Consumers also face the danger that personal information gathered through spyware will be misused. Thus, most people agree that spyware is an annoying and costly problem. However, there is no consensus on the best way to solve the spyware problem. This article examines the methods currently being used to battle spyware, as well as proposed national spyware legislation. The article outlines the various …

Shifting Burdens And Concealing Electronic Evidence: Discovery In The Digital Era, Rebecca Rockwood
Shifting Burdens And Concealing Electronic Evidence: Discovery In The Digital Era, Rebecca Rockwood
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
In the twenty-first century, persons involved in the legal profession will be forced to confront technological issues. Computers and technology have pervaded every aspect of society, and the legal system is no exception. The discovery process is a dramatic example of how lawyers and courts strain to keep up with technological advances. Traditional discovery practices have been severely overhauled as electronic information becomes increasingly prevalent. What was once a simple discovery request can now become an overwhelming task, as defendants must wade through a plethora of electronic documents in an attempt to comply with the court’s discovery orders.

How Does My Work Become Our Work? Dilution Of Authorship In Scientific Papers, And The Need For The Academy To Obey Copyright Law, Sean B. Seymore
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Professors enjoy a world of extensive institutional autonomy and individual academic freedom. Universities and courts defer to a professor’s judgment for “genuinely academic decisions” unless they depart from academic norms. Universities, courts, and professional societies should intervene, however, when academic norms and custom do not comport with the law.

An Examination Of The United States Supreme Court's Recent Establishment Clause Rulings In Mccreary County, Ky. V. American Civil Liberties Union And Van Order V. Perry, Joanna L. Suyes
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
Responding to a question concerning whether or not his followers should pay taxes to the Roman government, the Bible records that Jesus answered, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's." This statement, quoted in the Bible's Gospel of Matthew, has been called one of the "most revolutionary and history-making utterances that ever fell from those lips divine.",While the famous words of Jesus make clear the existence of a distinction between the realms of religion and government, they shed little light on the type of balance that should be struck between them.

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest
Article 32 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child ("UN Convention") states that parties to the convention must "recognize the right of the child to be protected from economic exploitation and from performing any work that is likely to be hazardous or to interfere with the child's education, or to be harmful to the child's health or physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development." Despite this well-intentioned document and several other treaties, conventions and protocols, millions of children around the world are subjected to varying degrees of economic exploitation, some in conditions that are akin to …

The Electronic Recording Of Criminal Interrogations, Roberto Iraola
The Electronic Recording Of Criminal Interrogations, Roberto Iraola
University of Richmond Law Review
Should law enforcement officers be required to record, by video or audiotape, custodial interrogations of suspects? If so, how much, the entire interrogation or just the confession? Many prosecutors and police departments maintain that a recording requirement will hamper law enforcement and discourage suspects from talking. Proponents of this measure argue that the recording of interrogations protects against false confessions, augments the effective administration of justice, and serves to improve the relationship between the public and the police.
This article generally examines the developing case law on this question. Because of the incriminating nature of confessions, the article, by way …
Undeserving Heirs?--The Case Of The "Terminated" Parent, Richard Lewis Brown
Undeserving Heirs?--The Case Of The "Terminated" Parent, Richard Lewis Brown
University of Richmond Law Review
Every state has an intestate succession statute that prescribes how the property of those who die without a will should be distributed. Every state also by statute authorizes the government to intervene in the parent-child relationship in the most draconian manner possible by involuntarily terminating parental rights. This article explores how the law functions at the intersection of these two statutory schemes-the inheritance regime, as expressed through intestate succession statutes, and the child welfare regime, as expressed through termination of parental rights statutes ("TPR statutes").

The Modern Age Of Informed Consent, Barbara L. Atwell
University of Richmond Law Review
This essay explores the informed consent ramifications of the confluence of these two phenomena: developments in medical technology and emerging adulthood.

In such cases, policy considerations dictate that additional safeguards be implemented to ensure that the consent given is truly informed. Part II of this essay provides an overview of the informed consent doctrine and outlines a variety of advancements in elective medical technology. Part III explores the concept of emerging adulthood. Part IV suggests that when emerging adults seek medical treatments that …

Part II will address some of the criticisms of jury nullification and provide responses to those criticisms. Finally, Part III will propose a framework for integrating jury nullification into the regular criminal justice process.

Through The Looking Glass: Judicial Deference To Academic Decision-Making, Douglas K. Rush
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
This paper will review the statutory mandates of Section 504 and the ADA and examine the extent to which courts are willing to defer to institutional decisions concerning program modifications to accommodate learning disabled students. Courts have long recognized that academic decision-makers are entitled to deference, especially when their decisions concern issues related to educational programs. Courts must be vigilant, however, to properly weigh their role as the enforcers of Congressional legislation against the judicial policy of deference to academic decisions. Section I of this article will review the federal statutory and regulatory frameworks governing disability accommodations as they relate …

The Rationality Of Law Students' Career Choices, Aaron Haas
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
Two of the major problems confronting the legal profession today are increasing rates of job dissatisfaction and the persistent problem of encouraging lawyers to work in public interest settings. These two problems are actually connected in an important way. Researchers have found that lawyers earning the highest salaries, typically in large law firms, are also the most dissatisfied with their profession, while lawyers working for government agencies, public interest organizations, and educational institutions are among the most satisfied. In other words, encouraging more law students to enter public service law could address both the problem of unhappiness in the profession …

Who's Afraid Of Promissory Estoppel: Charitable Giving In Virginia And The Enforceability Of Promised Gifts, Charlotte Dauphin
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
In May of 2005, the Virginia Museum of Fine Art ("VMFA") announced that collectors James W. and Frances G. McGlothlin intend to bequeath their collection of American realist art. The bequest is valued at $100 million, and includes 33 American paintings, drawings and watercolors as well as a new wing for the museum. However, what happens if the McGlothlins change their mind? Is there any way for the VMFA, or any museum in Virginia, to improve the enforceability of charitable pledges of works of art?
Smith V. City Of Jackson: Disparate Impact In Age Discrimination Cases, Michael Leedom
Smith V. City Of Jackson: Disparate Impact In Age Discrimination Cases, Michael Leedom
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
In the wake of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, an act which protected minorities and women from employment discrimination but did not prohibit discrimination based on age, Congress enacted the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (hereinafter "ADEA"). This act prohibits an employer from taking actions which "would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual's age." At first glance, this statutory prohibition would seem to be very similar to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and indeed the …
