Setting The Stage For The Next Farm Bill Debate, Bradley D. Lubben

Cornhusker Economics

The 2018 Farm Bill is set to expire in September 2023. New farm bill legislation will be needed by then if authority is to be extended for a wide range of programs from farm support to conservation, nutrition assistance, credit, trade promotion, rural development, research and education, and more.

The agricultural committees in Congress have already held initial hearings and many agricultural and other interest groups have noted their policy priorities. However, formal debate on a new farm bill is not expected to begin in earnest until early 2023 when a new session of Congress convenes.

While the formal debate …

Redefining Progress And The Case For Diversity In Innovation And Inventing, Colleen Chien

Faculty Publications

In the United States, women represent 50% of the workforce, but only 27% of STEM workers and 13% of inventors. This article surveys the scientific literature to make the empirical case for diversity in innovation and inventing, finding a growing body of research to show how diverse innovators expand the reach, quality, and quantity of innovation. It then surveys the history of patent law to make the legal case for prioritizing diversity in inventing, and for expanding conventional notions of “progress” in the patent system to include the promotion of a diverse set of innovators, rather than just innovation. It …

Locker V. State Of Nevada, 138 Nev. Adv. Op. 62 (Sep. 1, 2022), Michael Pappas

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

A first or second conviction for a category E felony possession of a schedule I or schedule II narcotic under fourteen grams requires the district court to defer conviction when the defendant consents to a drug treatment plan under NRS 176.211(3)(a)(1). When that statute applies, the courts have no discretion; it must defer to a drug rehabilitation program if the defendant consents.

Elk Point Country Club Hoa V. K. H. Brown, Llc, 138 Nev. Adv. Op. 60 (Aug. 18, 2022), Alexander Provan

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

When a planned communities’ governing documents restrict real property use to residential use only, NRS 116.340(1)(a) permits a real property owner to use real property for transient commercial use so long as the governing documents of the community do not prohibit such use. Transient commercial use is the use of property, for remuneration, as transient lodging, if the term of occupancy is thirty days or less—i.e., short-term rentals. It is a reversable error to interpret bylaws and governing documents as prohibiting rentals when they use the terms “tenants” and

Matkulak V. Davis, 138 Nev. Adv. Op. 61 (Sept. 01, 2022), Sam Pope

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

Deviations from the Nevada Administration Code’s framework for calculating a parent’s base child support obligations may not exceed the party’s total obligation. Furthermore, a district court’s decision to award reasonable attorney fees and costs will stand absent an abuse of discretion. Here, the district court deviated from NAC 425.150(1)’s framework and increased the appellant’s child support obligation by nearly $2,000 per month over NAC 425.140’s base child support obligation. This deviation exceeded the appellant’s monthly total obligation which the district court calculated to $823.04. Therefore, the Supreme Court of Nevada reversed the district court’s decision and remanded with instructions to …

Las Vegas Police Protective Association, Inc. V. The Eighth Judicial District Court, 138 Nev. Adv. Op. 59 (Aug. 18, 2022), Benjamin Reber

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

In order to intervene as a necessary third party, the motion to intervene must be filed before a final judgement has been entered that resolves the case. Additionally, even though the Las Vegas Police Protective Association attempted to intervene too late, the Court considered whether they were a necessary party at all. The Court concluded that they were not a necessary party because their absence would not impair or impede any of their interests.

Transition From The Informal To The Formal Economy: The Need For A Multi-Faceted Approach, Kamala Sankaran

Articles

The recent international attention paid to the formalization of the informal economy finds reflection in ILO Recommendation No. 204 concerning the transition from the informal to the formal economy and the Sustainable Development Goals (Target 8.3). There is great diversity within the categories of the informal sector, informal employment, and informal economy in India. This paper examines the category of the ‘informal economy’ as understood in international instruments as well as in international statistics and maps these onto legal categories recognized within Indian law. The categories of ‘employed’, ‘engaged’, and ‘work arrangement’ used in Indian laws, and their interpretation by …
