Do Legal Origins Predict Legal Substance?, Anu Bradford, Yun-Chien Chang, Adam Chilton, Nuno Garoupa
Articles
There is a large body of research in economics and law suggesting that the legal origin of a country that is, whether its legal regime is based on English common law or French, German, or Nordic civil law--profoundly impacts a range of outcomes. However, the exact relationship between legal origin and legal substance has been disputed in the literature and not fully explored with nuanced legal coding. We revisit this debate while leveraging novel cross-country datasets that provide detailed coding of two areas of laws: property and antitrust. We find that having shared legal origins strongly predicts whether countries have …

In granting this power, the Framers deliberately cast structural safeguards aside. Nevertheless, the presidency of Donald Trump prompted a search for limits. This Article examines: (1) whether a president may pardon crimes that have not yet happened (or announce his intention to do so); (2) whether he may pardon himself; (3) whether he may use pardons to obstruct justice or commit other crimes; (4) whether criminal statutes should be construed …

Rethinking Prosecutorial Discretion In Immigration Enforcement, Nicole Hallett
Articles
Prosecutorial discretion in immigration enforcement stands at a crossroads. It was the centerpiece of Obama's immigration policy after efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform failed. Under the Trump administration, it was declared all but dead, replaced by an ethos of maximum enforcement.
