“I See My Culture Starting To Disappear”: Anishinaabe Perspectives On The Socioecological Impacts Of Climate Change And Future Research Needs, A.K. Menzies, E. Bowles, M. Gallant, H. Patterson, C. Kozmik, S. Chiblow, Deborah Mcgregor

Articles & Book Chapters

Climate change disproportionately affects Indigenous Peoples because of strong connections between environmental, cultural, and spiritual well-being. While much of the global discourse surrounding climate change is founded in Western science, the holistic, place-based knowledge of Indigenous Peoples offers a complementary way of understanding and mitigating climate change impacts. The goal of this research was to elevate Anishinaabe concerns, observations, and perspectives about climate change impacts and future research needs. We organized a workshop called “Connecting Guardians in a Changing World” where participants shared concerns about animal and plant life cycles, water cycles and water quality, and impacts to ways of …

Bu Celebrates Ketanji Brown Jackson’S Rise To Us Supreme Court, Nicole Huberfeld

Shorter Faculty Works

The operative word about Ketanji Brown Jackson is “first.” Once she is sworn in to the US Supreme Court, after being confirmed by the Senate Thursday 53-47 (three Republicans joined Democrats in supporting her), she will be the first Black woman on the high court in its 233 years. And she will be the first former public defender to join the court. Brown Jackson—the daughter of a lawyer and a school principal and currently a federal appellate judge in Washington, D.C.—won Senate confirmation after a bruising hearing last week where Republican senators tried to label her as an extreme liberal …

Getting Blunt About Civil Commitment: How Nj’S Institutionalized Cannabis-Users Are Systematically Denied Civil Liberties, Peri Feldstein

ERSJ Blog

Some of New Jersey’s state-institutionalized psychiatric patients, held by the state in civil confinement at state psychiatric hospitals, use cannabis in violation of hospital rules. When they do so, they are punished in an unconstitutional manner: the judge responsible for their commitment will seek retribution by wrongfully continuing their commitment out of paternalistic fears.

When Acting Becomes Reality: Determining Liability When A Death Occurs On Set, Pearl Hertz

AELJ Blog

During the filming of the movie Rust in October 2021, actor Alec Baldwin “was holding an antique Colt .45 . . . when the prop gun discharged a live bullet.” The bullet struck cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and director Joel Souza, resulting in the death of Hutchins. While many individuals postulated that other crew members were at fault, on February 15, 2022, the Hutchins family named Baldwin in a wrongful death lawsuit alleging “fail[ure] to perform industry standard safety checks and follow basic gun safety rules while using real guns.” The complaint also argues that but for Baldwin’s reckless behavior, “Hutchins …

Court Briefs

QUESTION PRESENTED: Section 203(c)(1) of the Communications Decency Act immunizes an “interactive computer service” (such as YouTube, Google, Facebook and Twitter) for “publish[ ing] ... information provided by another” “information content provider” (such as someone who posts a video on YouTube or a statement on Facebook). This is the most recent of three court of appeals’ decisions regarding whether section 230(c)(1) immunizes an interactive computer service when it makes targeted recommendations of information provided by such another party. Five courts of appeals judges have concluded that section 230(c)(1) creates such immunity. Three court of appeals judges have rejected such immunity. …

Hush Money Is Not The Answer, Courtney Leon

AELJ Blog

Patriarchal social structures, bastions of male privilege, and misogynistic values have been embedded in American culture since the time “the butcher Christopher Columbus and his ilk arrived in the Americas” centuries ago. Not only have women been scrutinized as less equal than cisgender men when it relates to economic and political equality, but also in the sports arena on every spectrum. As March is Women’s History Month, it is important to recognize that despite decades of progress closing the equality gap between men and women, much still needs to be done to address de facto and de jure discrimination against …

Arbitration In The Entertainment Industry, Michelle Palagi

CJCR Blog

The entertainment industry is driven by contractual agreements between actors, film studios, and countless behind-the-scenes players. When disputes inevitably arise, it is often within the parties’ best interests to resolve the issues quickly and privately, without garnering media attention. Arbitration provides disputants this avenue and it is why binding arbitration clauses are so prevalent within the industry.

A “Hired Girl” Testifies Against The “Son Of A Prominent Family”: Bastardy And Rape On The Nineteenth-Century Nebraska Plains, Donna Rae Devlin

Department of History: Faculty Publications

In Red Cloud, Nebraska, in 1887, Anna “Annie” Sadilek (later Pavelka) pressed bastardy charges against the “son of a prominent family,” even though she could have, according to her pretrial testimony, pressed charges for rape. To the literary world, Sadilek is better known as Ántonia Shimerda, the powerful protagonist in Willa Cather’s 1918 novel, My Ántonia. However, it is Sadilek’s real-life experience that allows us to better understand life on the Nebraska Plains, specifically through an examination of the state’s rape laws and the ways these laws were subsequently interpreted by the courts. The Nebraska Supreme Court, between 1877 …

Gender Responsive Reentry: Supporting Mothers And Their Children, Michaela Bruder, Ally Malueg, Neve Patterson, Courtney Schallock

Master of Social Work Student Policy Advocacy Briefs

The unique needs and experiences of women with children are not reflected in Minnesota’s state reentry approach or federal reentry approach. The number of women in the correctional system has been steadily rising, which means more women, many of them mothers, are returning to their families and communities without the programming and supports needed to successfully resume their roles as parent and provider. Minnesota must invest in a gender-responsive reentry approach tailored specifically to the needs of women with children.

Next, it details the efforts that other East Coast states have made to combat the problem, including policies that require or incentivize the use of TEDs on crab pots, and discusses the regulatory framework currently in place in Virginia. Finally, this paper concludes by analyzing the approaches …
