Regulatory Innovation Through Authority: An Analysis Of India’S Central Consumer Protection Authority’S Functioning (2020–2025), Gaurav Pathak, Mohit Yadav, Anush Ganesh

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

This article presents the first comprehensive empirical analysis of India’s Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA), since its establishment in 2020, based on an examination of 165 orders across 118 cases through 2025. The study fills a critical research gap by systematically analysing CCPA’s enforcement patterns, procedural efficiency, and regulatory evolution. The unique dataset reveals that CCPA has fundamentally transformed India’s consumer protection landscape through a distinctive dual approach that combines reactive enforcement with proactive regulation. This study finds that 72 per cent of cases were initiated suo moto, indicating a paradigm shift from complaint-driven to preventive market surveillance and that …

Fingerprint Evidence In Court: How Flawed Error Estimations Disserve The Criminal Legal System, Brendan Max

DePaul Law Review

Estimations of rates of errors committed by forensic fingerprint

examiners play an important role in the criminal legal system.

Judges and jurors rely on error rate estimations as primary

indications of the probative value of assertions by fingerprint

examiners that they can reliably identify the people who deposit

latent prints at crime scenes. Recognizing the need to qualify

fingerprint identification claims with error estimations, the forensic

community has sought to conduct large-scale controlled testing of

fingerprint examiners in order to offer error estimations. One type

of error estimation generated from controlled testing is a false

positive rate, which expresses the …

The Supreme Court's Pragmatic Turn On The Separation Of Powers: Refining Appointments Clause And Nondelegation Doctrine, Peter Margulies

DePaul Law Review

Pragmatism is the hallmark of two recent Supreme Court

decisions on the separation of powers, Kennedy v. Braidwood

Management, Inc., and Federal Communications Commission

(FCC) v. Consumers’ Research. These cases, which dealt with the

Appointments Clause and the nondelegation doctrine (public and

private) respectively, reject a rigid, literalist approach. Instead,

these decisions strive to make government workable, in the process

facilitating implementation of Congress’s plans.

Both Braidwood and Consumers’ Research decline to require

Congress to recite “magic words” or lock in future executive branch

officials with mechanical formulas or caps on fees. Instead, each

decision looks at legislation …

The Black Hole Of Capital Gains: Etf Swap Funds, Jeffrey M. Colon

DePaul Law Review

ETFs have begun to challenge mutual funds as the dominant

U.S. public pooled asset vehicle. Their constant liquidity, exposure

to an ever-widening range of investment strategies, and highly

touted tax efficiency have driven the explosive growth in the assets

under management of ETFs over the last fifteen years. The tax

efficiency is due to Section 852(b)(6), which permits ETFs to

distribute appreciated property tax free and eliminate all fund-level

taxable gains even while making portfolio adjustments, which

mutual funds cannot do.

Fund sponsors have developed various strategies to exploit the

benefits of Section 852(b)(6), with the newest being the launch …

Bloomington Community Brain Health Services Program: The Intersection Of Law Enforcement And Brain Health, Janet Yeats, Luke Campbell, Booker Hodges

Forensic Scholars Today

In 2023, the Bloomington Police Department launched the Bloomington Community Brain Health Services (BCBHS) program in response to increasing mental health crises, provider shortages, long wait times for services, and rising law enforcement involvement in crisis calls. The Bloomington Model integrates licensed therapists and supervised graduate-level interns directly within a police department structure. The program aims to reduce mental health-related calls, stabilize residents experiencing crisis, and eliminate cost barriers by offering up to 15 sessions of free, short-term therapy delivered in homes, schools, virtual settings, and community spaces.

This article outlines the program’s development, implementation, and early outcomes, highlighting key …

"Distributed Voice" During Deliberations: What Real Juries Tell Us, Mary R. Rose, Shari S. Diamond

DePaul Law Review

Juries are supposed to represent the views of their community,

but securing representative bodies will not meet fair cross-section

aims if deliberations fail to actually produce contributions from a

wide variety of voices. This Essay develops the concept of

“distributed voice,” or the ability of a jury to spread out talk across

more jurors. Analyses examine what factors predict a jury’s

likelihood of producing more egalitarian distributions of speaking

turns and of words spoken. Data from actual deliberations of fifty

civil juries demonstrate that talk patterns on juries are more widely

distributed when there is a greater diversity of views …

Legal Analysis After The Behavioral Revolution, Russell Korobkin, Jeffrey J. Rachlinski

DePaul Law Review

The incorporation of behavioral economics and cognitive

psychology has profoundly challenged traditional legal

scholarship’s understanding of human decision making. This Article

explores how insights from the behavioral sciences have

fundamentally recast the academy's approach to legal doctrine in

the private law subjects that have long been the foundation of legal

training. By demonstrating systematic cognitive biases and

heuristics that deviate from rational choice theory, behavioral

research has upended the rational choice assumption that anchored

consequentialist analysis of law and left in its wake a more

contingent and context-dependent, and thus a fragmented,

normative landscape.

Procedural Justice And Body Worn Cameras, Yael Granot

DePaul Law Review

The extensive and rapid roll out of body cameras across

American police forces in the past decades was intended to improve

issues of accountability and transparency in policing. Trust and

perceptions of fairness of police are shaped, in large part, by how

one is treated by officers and departments—the fundamental

interpersonal work of procedural justice. This Article reviews

findings on public and police support for body cameras, as well as

research connecting body cameras to perceptions of procedural

justice. It then elaborates on past research with a vignette

experiment, aimed at isolating the unique and interactive effects of

just policies, …

What We Should Know About The Reliability Of Empirical Legal Studies, Kathryn Zeiler

DePaul Law Review

The findings of replication studies conducted in the early 2010s

led many to declare that science was in the midst of a “replication

crisis.” Since then, a growing number of reforms have been

proposed and tested. The field of empirical legal studies seems

behind other fields such as psychology, economics, political science,

medicine, biology, and others that have taken significant steps

toward uncovering the general reliability of the field’s empirical

work, investigating the causes of observed unreliability, and

instituting and testing the effects of various reforms. The purpose of

this Article is to summarize what we know about the reliability …

Reconstructing Reasonableness With Social Science, Kevin Tobia

DePaul Law Review

The social science of legal decision making often emphasizes

judgment bias. That empirical project reflects the legacy of legal

realism and grows in the shadow of law and economics, both of

which embody skepticism about legal concepts. These theoretical

influences encourage empiricists to “deconstruct” legal concepts by

identifying illicit, improper, or pernicious influences on judgment.

For example, empiricists demonstrate hindsight bias in judgments

of reasonableness and recommend interventions to remove that

bias. Identifying legal biases, their sources and remedies are

critically important. But these are not the only social scientific

questions one could ask of legal concepts. This Essay poses …

Intuitions In Tort Law And Theory, James Macleod

DePaul Law Review

This Essay highlights the many ways that ordinary conceptual and moral intuitions shape the development of tort law. It further argues that, for a range of doctrinal and institutional reasons, such intuitions deserve a central place in tort theorists’ efforts to explain, predict, justify, and reform the law of torts. Finally, given the stakes for both positive and normative tort theory, the Essay emphasizes the need for more systematic empirical research into the content and operation of people’s tort-relevant intuitions.
