Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

In this study focusing on the impact of open access on legal scholarship, the authors examine open access articles from three journals at the University of Georgia School of Law and confirm that legal scholarship freely available via open access improves an article’s research impact. Open access legal scholarship—which today appears to account for almost half of the output of law faculties—can expect to receive fifty-eight percent more citations than non–open access writings of similar age from the same venue.

The law library can be a major contributing partner to the success of its law school by establishing a digital repository to preserve and promote the institution's intellectual memory. Today's law school repositories have matured to include many more types of materials than simply faculty law review and journal articles. Librarians are ideally poised to capture, organize and preserve their institution's history in this new and powerful showcase.

Aclu V. Miami-Dade County School Board: Reading Pico Imprecisely, Writing Undue Restrictions On Public School Library Books, And Adding To The Collection Of Students' First Amendment Right Violations, Katherine Fiore

Villanova Law Review

The article discusses the case, American Civil Liberties Union of Florida Inc. (ACLU) v. Miami-Dade County School Board. ACLU alleges that the Board violated the students' First Amendment Right of free access to ideas because it removed a library book based on personal biases. The author disputes the Eleventh Circuit's decision favoring the board with the Supreme Court's Pico standard requiring investigation of motives since the cited reason of educational unsuitability is deemed insufficient.
