The Gamification Of Work, Miriam A. Cherry Jan 2012

The Gamification Of Work, Miriam A. Cherry

Hofstra Law Review

In the language of cyberspace, introducing elements of fun or game-playing into everyday tasks or through simulations is known as the process of “gamification.” The idea that people could be working while they play a video game – in some instances without even knowing that they are working – is becoming part of our reality. Gamification is an important element of what in previous writing I have termed “virtual work,” that is, work that is taking place wholly online, in crowdsourcing arrangements, or in virtual worlds. The gamification of work is an important trend with important implications for employment law. …

Faulkner's Voting Rights Act: The Sound And Fury Of Section Five, Joel Heller Jan 2012

Faulkner's Voting Rights Act: The Sound And Fury Of Section Five, Joel Heller

Hofstra Law Review

In its most recent examination of the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court told a story about the South. Although the Court ultimately did not rule on the continued constitutionality of § 5, the VRA provision that singles out certain jurisdictions with a history of racially discriminatory voting practices for additional regulation, its opinion expressed significant doubt that the measure was still justified. In this tale of progress and redemption, the Court concluded that “things have changed in the South.”

One body of commentary that was not considered in this story was the region’s literature. Yet many of these works, …


The Rise Of Institutional Law Practice, Thomas D. Morgan Jan 2012

The Rise Of Institutional Law Practice, Thomas D. Morgan

Hofstra Law Review

For generations, the legal profession has assumed that only individual lawyers practice law. Ethical standards have been largely, if not exclusively, directed at individuals, and practice organizations have been regulated to prevent limiting individual lawyer professional judgment. The world in which lawyers now practice makes the individualized model obsolete. The complexity of modern law narrows the breadth of any individual lawyer's practice and makes law firms and other practice organizations inevitable. Firms, in turn, must maintain both ethical compliance and a high level of service quality that is inconsistent with lawyers behaving idiosyncratically. The article explores these developments and suggests …


Intervention Of Right In Judicial Proceedings To Review Informal Federal Rulemaking, Michael Ray Harris Jan 2012

Intervention Of Right In Judicial Proceedings To Review Informal Federal Rulemaking, Michael Ray Harris

Hofstra Law Review

The codification of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in 1938 (the “Federal Rules”) created not only a more transactional approach to litigation, but also the flexible party structure that was necessary for “public law litigation” to flourish. Indeed, many argue that intervention by non-parties in public law cases is essential to ensure that the court can hear from and protect the wide range of interests likely to be impacted by its decision. This Article seeks to make a case for limiting intervention as of right in a specific subset of public law proceedings –– those brought to review the …
