The Air Littoral: Another Look, Maximilian K. Bremer, Kelly A. Grieco

The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters

Assessing threats to the air littoral, the airspace between ground forces and high-end fighters and bombers, requires a paradigm change in American military thinking about verticality. This article explores the consequences of domain convergence, specifically for the Army and Air Force’s different concepts of control. It will assist US military and policy practitioners in conceptualizing the air littoral and in thinking more vertically about the air and land domains and the challenges of domain convergence.

Disney And Nintendo Make The "Ultimate" Team In Bringing Sora To Super Smash Bros., Marc Siegel

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review (CICLR) Blog

For years, fans of the video-game franchise “Super Smash Bros.” have begged Japanese developing-company Nintendo to include their favorite characters in the record-breaking fighting game. The franchise’s most recent iteration, “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate” (“SSBU”), has become the largest crossover event in video game history. The popularity of the franchise, as well as the impeccable attention to detail given to each character, has convinced several third-party developers to grant Nintendo licensing rights to include their own mascots as playable characters in SSBU. Nintendo icons such as Mario, Pikachu, and Link, can now face off against characters such as Sega’s Sonic …

Tom Brady Just Threw His 600th Touchdown Pass: What’S The Catch?, Courtney Leon

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

While the theory of economics can be studied in its raw form, there are applications of it that prevail beyond the fundamental notion of “economics.” A principal theory in economic models is that firms maximize profits in competitive markets. Similarly, in the sports world, such maximization may be accomplished through a coach maximizing his team’s probability of winning through sports trades. “A trade in sports is most commonly an exchange of ‘goods’ between two teams.” An example of a trade in sports is during the NFL Draft, where it is typical for teams to conduct trades with one another in …

The Hypocrisy Of Facebook: Facebook’S Failure To Comply With Their Own Proposal, Caitlin Muraca

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (“CDA”) immunizes social media platforms, like Facebook, from liability of third party content. In other words, Facebook can’t be held liable for defamatory or offensive content posted by its users. In many ways, this is dangerous to the public, as Facebook has been accused of directly contributing to the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot by relaxing its security safeguards too soon after the 2020 presidential election. Evidence indicates that “numerous Facebook groups and accounts, public and private, were used to help organize the protest.”

Title 42, Asylum, And Politicising Public Health, Michael Ulrich, Sondra S. Crosby

Faculty Scholarship

President Biden has continued the controversial immigration policy of the Trump era known as Title 42, which has caused harm and suffering to scores of asylum seekers under the guise of public health.1 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ordered the policy in March 2020 with the stated purpose of limiting the spread of the coronavirus into the U.S.; though, CDC and public health officials have admitted this policy has no scientific basis and there is no evidence it has protected the public.2,3 Instead, the impetus behind the policy appears to be a desire to keep out or …

The Limits Of Behavioral Economics In Tort Law, Daniel Pi

Law Faculty Scholarship

Skeptics of rational choice theory have long predicted that behavioral economics would radically transform the legislation, adjudication, and analysis of law. Using tort law as an exemplar, this Article maps out the narrow set of conditions where substantive law can be modified to accommodate irrational decision-makers. Specifically, this Article demonstrates that if injurers are systematically biased, and the due care standard can be expressed quantitatively, and victims are unable to take meaningful precautions, then imposing punitive damages can induce irrational injurers to exercise efficient precautionary care. In all other cases, it is better that the law adopt a presumption of …

Dare To Dream: How Would You Teach 1ls Legal Research With No Restrictions?, Olivia Smith Schlinck

Library Staff Online Writings

When I started in my current role as an instructional librarian, I was given space to make the changes I thought necessary to improve an already-changing legal research program. I’ve made changes – some small, some more major – in both the 1L and upper-level research curriculum, but there is more to do. In particular, I’m not entirely satisfied with how we teach legal research to 1Ls.

Bahr V. Regan, Aspen B. Ward

Public Land & Resources Law Review

In June 2015, the Lake Fire burned through California’s San Bernardino National Forest. Three hundred miles east of the fire, six air quality monitors exceeded NAAQS in Phoenix, Arizona. Arizona’s Department of Environmental Quality petitioned the EPA to exclude those exceedances to avoid stricter regulatory burdens and the need for contingency measures. Applying the Exceptional Events Rule, the EPA permitted the petition to exclude the data therefore allowing Phoenix to successfully demonstrate attainment of the ozone NAAQS by the July 2018 deadline. Petitioners sought review of the EPA’s final decision and were denied their petition for review by the Ninth …
