On Behalf Of All Others Similarly Situated: Class Representation & Equitable Compensation, Alexander J. Noronha
On Behalf Of All Others Similarly Situated: Class Representation & Equitable Compensation, Alexander J. Noronha
Michigan Law Review
Class actions require class representation. In class actions, plaintiffs litigate not only on their own behalf but “on behalf of all others similarly situated.” For almost fifty years, federal courts have routinely exercised their inherent equitable authority to award modest compensation to deserving class representatives who help recover common funds benefiting the plaintiff class. These discretionary “incentive awards” are generally intended to compensate class representatives for shouldering certain costs and risks—which are not borne by absent class members—during the pendency of class litigation.
The ubiquity of permitting class action incentive awards ended in 2020. In an extraordinary ruling, the Eleventh …
Destined To Deceive: The Need To Regulate Deepfakes With A Foreseeable Harm Standard, Matthew D. Weiner
Destined To Deceive: The Need To Regulate Deepfakes With A Foreseeable Harm Standard, Matthew D. Weiner
Michigan Law Review
Political campaigns have always attracted significant attention, and politicians have often been the subjects of controversial—even outlandish—discourse. In the last several years, however, the risk of deception has drastically increased due to the rise of “deepfakes.” Now, practically anyone can make audiovisual media that are both highly believable and highly damaging to a candidate. The threat deepfakes pose to our elections has prompted several states and Congress to seek legislative remedies that ensure recourse for victims and hold bad actors liable. These recent attempts at deepfake laws are open to attack from two different loci. First, there is a question …
The New Undue Influence, David Horton, Reid K. Weisbord
The New Undue Influence, David Horton, Reid K. Weisbord
Utah Law Review
The doctrine of undue influence has long been the problem child of inheritance law. Undue influence, a hazy combination of fraud and duress, supposedly invalidates bequests that a beneficiary obtained by overriding the volition of a vulnerable testator or settlor. But because relationships are complex, concepts like free will are slippery, and challenges to do native transfers are litigated after the owner dies, courts struggle to apply the rule. Making matters worse, fact finders exploit the principle’s vagueness to protect a decedent’s family at the expense of non-traditional relationships. As a result, scholars have criticized undue influence fordecades, with some …
Saving Democracy From The Senate, David Froomkin, A. Michael Froomkin
Saving Democracy From The Senate, David Froomkin, A. Michael Froomkin
Utah Law Review
It should not be surprising that Americans say they are frustrated with their national institutions. Congress, particularly the Senate, responds poorly to the public’s needs and wants because it is increasingly unrepresentative of the electorate. Reform is difficult, however, because each state’s “equal Suffrage” in the Senate is protected by a unique constitutional entrenchment clause. The Entrenchment Clause creates a genuine bar to reform, but that bar is not insurmountable. We first argue that the constitutional proscription on reforming the Senate has been overstated, identifying a range of constitutional reform options that would be permissible despite the Entrenchment Clause. Several …
Criminalizing Race: How Direct And Indirect Criminalization Of Racial “Status” Constitutes Cruel And Unusual Punishment, Delphine Brisson-Burns
Criminalizing Race: How Direct And Indirect Criminalization Of Racial “Status” Constitutes Cruel And Unusual Punishment, Delphine Brisson-Burns
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice
Eighth Amendment Jurisprudence proscribes criminalization based on “status.” Based on United States Supreme Court case law, for the purposes of this paper, “status” is understood to mean an “ongoing state of being.” This paper argues that race is “status” and thus criminalizing people of color based on race violates the Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause of the Eighth Amendment. Further, in the United States, racial “status” is criminalized both directly and indirectly. Racial “status” is criminalized directly by police officers’ frequent use of racial profiling to build criminal cases against people of color. On the other hand, racial status is …
Singing The Force Of The Imagination: How To Wonder About The Emotional-Reportage In Immigration Advocacy, Joshua J. Schroeder
Singing The Force Of The Imagination: How To Wonder About The Emotional-Reportage In Immigration Advocacy, Joshua J. Schroeder
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice
In the years leading up to July 4, 1776, Phillis Wheatley bid the imaginations of the American Revolutionaries to spring open by shouting: “Imagination! Who can sing thy force?” Wheatley defined the imagination as the leader of the mental train, and, according to Ciceronian principles, she demonstrated that the imagination is the singular facilitator of human action. Despite numerous calls to venerate American originalism over the past several decades, the founding concept of the imagination remains an underdeveloped topic in the legal field, even while it reigns over the decision-making processes of all U.S. legislators, administrators, and judges.
However, on …

After The Demise Of Affirmative Action, Ensuring Equitable Access To Educational Opportunities, Anna Gorman-Huang, Peter Henry Huang
After The Demise Of Affirmative Action, Ensuring Equitable Access To Educational Opportunities, Anna Gorman-Huang, Peter Henry Huang
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice
On June 29, 2023, the United States Supreme Court held in two related cases that race-based affirmative action in college admissions is unconstitutional, because it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. What is next in (higher) education after the Supreme Court’s rulings in two related cases brought by Students for Fair Admissions? The decisions may dramatically transform college admissions and even how universities think about allocating their resources and about their role in a democratic society. Even now, the Court’s holdings are rippling past highly selective college campuses to corporate boardrooms, non-profits, and state legislatures.
Despite the …

Preserving The Futures Of Young Offenders: A Proposal For Federal Juvenile Expungement Legislation, Amelia Tadanier
Preserving The Futures Of Young Offenders: A Proposal For Federal Juvenile Expungement Legislation, Amelia Tadanier
William & Mary Law Review
Picture a sixteen-year-old named Sam. Perhaps this person reminds you of yourself as a teenager. Now imagine that Sam has made a terrible mistake and is arrested for cocaine possession. Perhaps they got the drugs from another kid at school or from a family member. But now Sam has a federal criminal record, which is likely to stick with them for life.
[...]
This Note argues that federal courts should have the power to expunge juvenile records in cases like Sam’s. It advocates for legislation granting federal courts the power to expunge the criminal records of offenders who were under …

Expanding Equality, Terry Skolnik
Expanding Equality, Terry Skolnik
Dalhousie Law Journal
Section 15 of the Canadian Charter provides a constitutional right to equality. But the Supreme Court of Canada has interpreted this right restrictively. Today, the Constitution fails to protect certain individuals and groups against obvious forms of direct and indirect discrimination. This article argues that s. 15 of the Charter is interpreted narrowly in three respects and advances proposals to expand the right to equality. First, the right to equality framework fails to protect marginalized persons and groups against direct discrimination. Second, courts overlook how individuals can suffer discrimination based on quasi-immutable traits, which are personal characteristics that are relatively …
Symposium: Gender, Health, And The Constitution: The New Gender Panic In Sport: Why State Laws Banning Transgender Athletes Are Unconstitutional, Deborah L. Brake
Symposium: Gender, Health, And The Constitution: The New Gender Panic In Sport: Why State Laws Banning Transgender Athletes Are Unconstitutional, Deborah L. Brake
ConLawNOW
This essay considers the role of sport in the new gender panic of legislative activity targeting transgender individuals, which now extends into health and family governance. Sport was one of the first settings—the gateway—to ignite the current culture war on transgender youth. This analysis examines how Title IX of the Education Act of 1972, the popular law responsible for the growth of opportunities for girls and women in sports, has been mobilized in service of a broader gender agenda. Far from providing a persuasive justification for the state laws banning transgender girls from girls’ sports, Title IX, properly understood, supports …
Arbitrary Government Intrusion Of The Home: Warrantless Pole Camera Home Surveillance Survives Katz But Violates The Fourth Amendment, Hannah J. Eppling
Arbitrary Government Intrusion Of The Home: Warrantless Pole Camera Home Surveillance Survives Katz But Violates The Fourth Amendment, Hannah J. Eppling
Liberty University Law Review
The Fourth Amendment was adopted with a particular focus—to prevent arbitrary government intrusion. However, today most United States Circuit Courts permit arbitrary government intrusion via warrantless pole camera surveillance because the circuit courts apply the Katz test. As a result, government officials are almost entirely free to decide whether to install pole cameras anywhere on public property to continuously surveille a home for whatever duration the officials decide. Neither probable cause nor application for a warrant are required. The officials then not only surveil all visible home activities through the cameras, but the officials also record the surveillance and may …
Hypothetically Punished: Why The Court Should Heed Justice Thomas's Call In United States V. Taylor To End Its "Journey Through The Looking Glass", Arielle N. Leake
Hypothetically Punished: Why The Court Should Heed Justice Thomas's Call In United States V. Taylor To End Its "Journey Through The Looking Glass", Arielle N. Leake
Liberty University Law Review
Should the location of a crime be the most important factor in determining the sentence of a convicted criminal? Should second-degree murder be categorically excluded from being a crime of violence simply because of the words a state legislature used to define it? Instinctively, much of society would answer “No”—finding that kind of arbitrariness and illogicality distasteful. Yet that is what has resulted from the Supreme Court’s categorical approach to statutory interpretation.
The Supreme Court began the federal judiciary’s journey of applying the categorical approach by using it to interpret the sentencing enhancement in 18 U.S.C. § 924(e). However, since …
A Matter Of Principle: Why The Ministerial Exception Categorically Bars Ministers From Bringing Hostile Work Environment Claims Against Their Religious Employers, Joshua B. Davis
Liberty University Law Review
Rooted in the First Amendment, the ministerial exception represents a general principle of law that has existed at least since the Magna Carta: the church autonomy doctrine. The ministerial exception reflects the church autonomy doctrine by recognizing a religious institution’s absolute right to select and control its ministers. Born in 1972 and receiving Supreme Court recognition in 2012, the ministerial exception’s application to most Title VII employment discrimination claims is unquestioned. But the ministerial exception’s application to hostile work environment claims, which arise from employment discrimination statutes like Title VII, is unclear.
The Supreme Court of the United States has …
Fulton'S Answer: State Constitutional Rejections Of Employment Division V. Smith As A Practical Model For The Restoration Of The Free Exercise Clause, Nathan Moelker
Liberty University Law Review
The Supreme Court’s 1990 decision in Employment Division v. Smith redefined its approach to cases under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. Many have criticized that approach and questioned its validity in the three decades since it was adopted. In Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, the Court again considered Smith’s flaws, but declined to overrule it, instead evading the Smith standard by clarifying an exception to its purportedly bright-line rule. While multiple Justices acknowledged and largely accepted the reasons that scholars continue to denounce Smith, a majority did not agree that it was time to …
The Fallacy Of Systemic Racism In The American Criminal Justice System, Paul J. Larkin, Giancarlo Canaparo
The Fallacy Of Systemic Racism In The American Criminal Justice System, Paul J. Larkin, Giancarlo Canaparo
Liberty University Law Review
Critics of the criminal justice system have repeatedly charged it with systemic racism. It is a tenet of the “war” on the “War on Drugs,” it is a justification used by the so-called “progressive prosecutors” to reject the “Broken Windows” theory of law enforcement, and it is an article of faith of the “Defund the Police!” movement. Even President Joe Biden and his chief lieutenants leveled the same allegation early in this administration. Although the President has eschewed the belief that Americans are a racist people, others have not, proclaiming that virtually anyone who is white is a racist.
Yet, …
Conflict And Race In Literature & Law. The Case Of Americanah, Emanuela Ignatoiu Sora
Conflict And Race In Literature & Law. The Case Of Americanah, Emanuela Ignatoiu Sora
Comparative Woman
In Americanah, the 2013 novel by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, there is a scene when one of the characters, Laura, speaks of her Ugandan classmate who did not get along with an African-American colleague. Laura is surprised as, for her, all persons of color are similar, with no understanding for their differences in background, personal stories and experiences. The novel depicts and critiques this very categorization of race, which flattens differences, conflating groups and individuals who might share very little, if anything. For a long time, law (with its stipulations, precedents and rulings) has operated in a similar manner, disengaging …
Neuropsychological Malingering Determination: The Illusion Of Scientific Lie Detection, Chunlin Leonhard, Christoph Leonhard
Neuropsychological Malingering Determination: The Illusion Of Scientific Lie Detection, Chunlin Leonhard, Christoph Leonhard
Georgia Law Review
Humans believe that other humans lie, especially when stakes are high. Stakes can be very high in a courtroom, from substantial amounts of monetary damages in civil litigation to liberty or life in criminal cases. One of the most frequently disputed issues in U.S. courts is whether litigants are malingering when they allege physical or mental conditions for which they are seeking damages or which would allow them to avoid criminal punishment. Understandably, creating a scientific method to detect lies is very appealing to all persons engaged in lie detection. Neuropsychologists claim that they can use neuropsychological assessment tests (Malingering …
Testing The Limits Of Virtual Compliance: Website Accessibility, "Tester" Plaintiffs, And Article Iii Standing Under The Ada, Ashlyn Dewberry
Testing The Limits Of Virtual Compliance: Website Accessibility, "Tester" Plaintiffs, And Article Iii Standing Under The Ada, Ashlyn Dewberry
Georgia Law Review
Federal courts have split in determining whether “tester” plaintiffs bringing suit under the ADA assert the requisite injury in fact necessary for Article III standing. These “website accessibility testers” allege that defendants’ websites do not make certain information available to disabled persons in violation of Title III of the ADA and one of its implementing regulations. This split presents an excellent opportunity to clarify which informational and stigmatic harms qualify as injuries in fact for Article III standing purposes. This Note argues that ADA website accessibility testers cannot obtain standing under current law. Neither the text of the ADA nor …
Compelling Evidence In International Commercial Arbitration After The Section 1782 Shutdown: Faa Section 7 As An Alternative Approach, Caroline Bailey
Compelling Evidence In International Commercial Arbitration After The Section 1782 Shutdown: Faa Section 7 As An Alternative Approach, Caroline Bailey
Georgia Law Review
The United States Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in the 2022 case ZF Automotive US, Inc. v. Luxshare, Ltd. resolved the long-disputed circuit split regarding the application of Section 1782 of Title 28 of the U.S. Code to international arbitrations. The Court’s ruling that the term “foreign or international tribunal” under Section 1782 includes only governmental or intergovernmental adjudicative bodies ended the use of Section 1782 to compel evidence located in the United States in private adjudicative bodies such as international commercial arbitrations. The Section 1782 shutdown has required arbitrators and parties to international commercial arbitrations to seek alternative legal mechanisms …
