Law School Rankings And Federal Policies Regarding Disclosure About Affordability, Derek T. Muller

Journal Articles

The affordability and value of higher education are matters of enduring public conversation. Increased scrutiny has led to increased disclosure. And for legal education, the affordability of legal education has been publicly debated. Affordability data has even been included in the rankings of law schools, which have recently faced pushback from law schools themselves. This essay describes the conversation and debate around law school rankings and affordability data, and it offers some ways for federal policy to help improve affordability disclosures for legal education.

Symposium Introduction: Walking With Destiny, Roy L. Brooks

San Diego Law Review

During the Enlightenment, the poet Robert Burns lamented, “Man’s inhumanity to man [m]akes countless thousands mourn.” Burns was looking back over centuries of human injustices—atrocities—as the empirical basis for his mournful reflection. But even now, long after the Enlightenment, we have not been able to curb our proclivity for committing atrocities. What we have been able to do after all these centuries, however, is enlarge the human capacity for redressing—repairing—the damage wrought by our atrocities. As atrocities do not appear to be ending, redress has become our destiny.

California is attempting to walk with this destiny. Our most populous state …

No Apology Until Abolition: Redressing The Ongoing Atrocity Of Slavery, Brandee Mcgee

San Diego Law Review

There are currently more Black adults under correctional control than there were enslaved at the height of slavery. Despite Black Americans making up only 12% of the domestic population, states imprison them at more than five times the rate of White Americans. In California, the ratio is even higher: the “Black/‌white disparity [is] larger than 9:1.” Although many White Americans are also imprisoned, Michelle Alexander in The New Jim Crow argues that these White prisoners are “collateral damage” to mask a racialized prison-industrial complex (PIC)—with mass incarceration as the main feature.

In 1865, after decades of activism by the abolitionist …

Healthcare Reparations In California, Chelsea J. Gaudet

San Diego Law Review

The Reparations Task Force has recommended several key areas in which the state of California can offer reparations for its systemic abuse of African Americans. The Interim Report issued by the Task Force highlights the discrepancy in health outcomes for White Californians versus Black Californians and attributes the difference not just to inequitable access, but also to a special compounding effect of physical and mental stress suffered solely by Black Californians as a result of systemic and personal environmental racial discrimination.

This Essay discusses the unique aspects of “weathering” and the insidious effect of racial bias in research meant to …

Transformative Dynamics: Reframing The Role Of Reparations In Transforming Social Order, Emily J. Kawahara

San Diego Law Review

According to Kathryn Sikkink, a revolution of human rights advocacy in tandem with heightened levels of accountability for human rights abuses has led to a “justice cascade,” where it is now expected that human rights violators will be held criminally accountable for transgressions. This normative shift of prosecuting individual perpetrators for human rights violations has also affected the larger picture of justice: human rights violations do not live in a silo and often occur against a backdrop of much-needed institutional reform. This Article considers the relationship between transitional justice, development programs, and social services, specifically using reparations as an example …

California Assembly Bill 3121’S Claim For Black Redress: The Case For A State Truth And Reconciliation Commission And Housing Vouchers, Jessica Robertson

San Diego Law Review

On September 30, 2020, Assembly Bill 3121 (AB 3121) established the Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans (Task Force).

Affirming And Supporting Black Women’S Lactation Agency As Redress, Dorothy Couchman

San Diego Law Review

This Article opens with Truth baring her breasts for four reasons. First, for many women like Truth who survived enslavement, lactation was a specifically gendered and racialized site of atrocity. Under chattel slavery in the United States, enslaved women were prevented from breastfeeding their infants as needed, compelled to wean their children far too early at the demands of their enslavers, or made to wet-nurse their enslavers’ White children in place of their own. This lactational coercion was part of a larger atrocity of reproductive abuse perpetuated against enslaved women.

Second, as Truth notes, enslaved women’s children were harmed when …

Lex Patrimonium

Childrens are inseparable from using technology. Using this technology also has a negative impact, which is misuse of one's personal data.

Therefore, this research will discuss child regulations, sanctions, and compensation in protecting personal data; child rights provisions; and the comparison. The aim is to provide an explanation of what provisions have …

Eksekusi Objek Jaminan Fidusia Sebagai Suatu Perbuatan Melawan Hukum: Tinjauan Terhadap Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Medan Nomor 167/Pdt.G/2021/Pn Mdn Dan Putusan Pengadilan Tinggi Tanjung Karang Nomor 93/Pdt/2022/Pt Tjk, Rahmandika -, Lauditta Humaira

Lex Patrimonium

The provisions for the execution of fiduciary security objects are regulated in Law Number 42 of 1999 on Fiduciary Security which allows fiduciary obligee to unilaterally execute fiduciary security objects based on the inherent executorial title which means execution can be directly exercised without going through a court and is final and binding on the parties. The Constitutional Court through Decision Number 18/PUU-XVII/2019 changed the meaning of the executorial title so that the execution of the fiduciary security certificate must be exercised and apply the same as the execution of a court decision that has permanent legal force, unless there …

Perbandingan Rechtsverwerking Sebagai Doktrin Hukum Di Indonesia Dan Doktrin Estoppel Di Amerika Serikat Pada Bidang Hukum Perjanjian, Joseph Noviandri, Togi Marolop Pangaribuan

Lex Patrimonium

This journal discusses the scope of rechtsverwerking as a doctrine known as the ‘waiver of rights’ doctrine. rechtsverwerking refers to a situation where someone possesses a certain right but does not exercise it within a specific period, which may result in the loss of that right. This concept of waiving rights is widely recognized, As exemplified by Article 32 paragraph (2) of Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997 concerning the release of land rights, the application of the rechtsverwerking doctrine should no longer be used as the basis for releasing land rights, as legislation takes precedence over doctrines in the …

Implementasi Doktrin Penyalahgunaan Keadaan (Misbruik Van Omstandigheden) Dalam Perkara Jual Beli Dengan Surat Di Bawah Tangan (Studi Kasus: Putusan Nomor 243/Pdt.G/2020/Pn Mdn Dan Putusan Nomor 101/Pdt/2021/Pt Mdn), Bagas Febrianto, Akhmad Budi Cahyono

Lex Patrimonium

Undue influence (misbruik van omstandigheden) is one of the reasons for the invalidity of an agreement due to a defective will known in Indonesian civil law based on doctrine and jurisprudence. This undue influence is a form of legal protection for weak parties because of the imbalanced position of the parties to the agreement both economically and psychologically. In the case of a sale and purchase agreement, often the parties disagree on the subject matter of the agreement, namely the goods and prices. Moreover, the sale and purchase agreement with privately made letters is certainly very prone to …

The Public Prosecutions Role In Closing Criminal Cases Without Litigation A Study Of The Federal Criminal Procedures Law And Special Criminal Laws, Humaid Juma Aldarmaki

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

The thesis highlights the role of the public prosecution in solving criminal lawsuits without a judicial ruling, by the procedures it takes either by dismissal of action at the evidence collection stage or by issuing a criminal case dismissal order at the initial investigation stage. This can also be done through a penal order in some crimes. Though this latter option gives the public prosecution the jurisdiction to adjudicate on some criminal cases, though this jurisdiction belongs to the bench courts, the justification is that it is limited to some simple felonies to expedite the litigation process and save time, …

Unstable Homes Exacerbated By Unstable Courts: How Ohio's Split-Child-Custody Jurisdiction Harms Ohio's Children And Families, Philip Shipman

Et Cetera

Raising a child is very difficult. Add to the difficulty in raising a child the specter of a child custody suit, and you have a recipe that can end in disaster.

In Ohio, child custody is not fair. It is not just. It is determined by judges, whose jurisdiction is determined by whether the child’s parents were married to each other. Under this jurisdictional scheme, Ohio’s children are failed. This failure stems from Ohio courts making their own rules without care to fairness and equality. Within most of Ohio’s eighty-eight counties, juvenile and domestic relations courts can, and do, set …
