Sources Of American Law: An Introduction To Legal Research, Tina M. Brooks, Beau Steenken

Law Faculty Books and Chapters

At its most basic definition the practice of law comprises conducting research to find relevant rules of law and then applying those rules to the specific set of circumstances faced by a client. However, in American law, the legal rules to be applied derive from myriad sources, complicating the process and making legal research different from other sorts of research. This text introduces first-year law students to the new kind of research required to study and to practice law. It seeks to demystify the art of legal research by following a “Source and Process” approach. First, the text introduces students …

The Line: Ai And The Future Of Personhood, James Boyle

Faculty Books

The line that distinguishes people from animals, systems, and things is getting harder to draw. For all the concern about AI and genetic engineering, there has been surprisingly little discussion of the possible personhood of the new entities this century will bring us: what about their claims to be inside the line, to be "us" -- not machines or animals but persons -- deserving all the moral and legal respect that any other person has by virtue of their status?

Never Gonna Change? An Examination Of The 1901 Alabama Constitution, Alexander Aguado

Textbooks

In stark contrast to the U.S. Constitution, which has become a more democratic document since 1865, Alabama’s 1901 Constitution was designed in response to the nation’s broader democratic aspirations. Though the Alabama Constitution was recompiled in 2022, its spirit continues. Never Gonna Change examines the legacy of the 1901 Constitution and its effects on public policy, people, political culture, and democracy. This collection has chapters that reflect on the factors that influence policy change in the Deep South and the likelihood of constitutional reform; The perseverance of inadequate education funding as a structural feature; The contemporary possibility of change through …

Restoring The Economic Interest Standard In The Taxation Of Mineral Resources, Barksdale Hortenstine, Gary R. Huffman, J. Andrew Miller

Rowling Books

In Restoring the Economic Interest Standard in the Taxation of Mineral Resources, Hortenstine, Hoffman, and Miller provide an important analysis of the U.S. Fifth Court of Appeals' 2022 decision in Exxon Mobil Corp. v. United States. They argue that the Fifth Circuit failed to adhere to the most basic historical precedent established for the concepts defining the economic interest in a mineral property. The authors examine the development of the federal taxation of natural resources, focusing on the interdependence and interaction of the concepts of economic interest and percentage depletion.

The first part of the book focuses on …

The Fairness Model Of Legal Institutions, James M. Donovan

Law Faculty Books and Chapters

If any group is to endure over time, individual frustrations, while inevitable, must be usually experienced as acceptable, or at least tolerable. Failing that, little would prevent the losers in these conflicts from leaving or revolting, which would be cumulatively debilitating to the group. As opposed to holding law’s job to impose order and police infringers, the second approach suggests that finding the balance between group and individual desires is the ‘major difficulty of all law—the problem of really getting a fresh start in relations between litigants after disposition of a trouble-case. This is the problem not only of keeping …

The Next Frontier In Plan Fee Litigation: Health Plan Fees, Kathryn L. Moore

Law Faculty Books and Chapters

On September 11, 2006, Jerry Schlichter, a personal injury lawyer from Saint Louis, Missouri, filed some of the first lawsuits claiming that excessive fees in 401(k) plans violated ERISA’s fiduciary standards. Since then, hundreds of suits have been filed challenging retirement plan fees, and the Supreme Court has rendered two decisions in cases claiming that excessive 401(k) plan fees violated ERISA’s fiduciary standards. Since the Supreme Court issued the second decision in 2022, retirement plan excessive fee litigation may have begun to slow. There may, however, be a new frontier in plan fee litigation: health care plan fees.
