The International Longshoremen’S Association Strike & Removing Public And Political Pressures From The Bargaining Table, Jilly Horowitz

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution (CJCR) Blog

The International Longshoremen’s Association (“ILA”) is the labor union that represents dockworkers in ports along the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico. The management counterpart to the ILA is the United States Maritime Alliance (“USMX”) which represents the various employers associated with the East and Gulf Coast ports. The most recent ILA-USMX master contract, or collective bargaining agreement, ran from October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2024 (the “2018 Agreement”). As ILA workers prepared for a new contract, their two main concerns were securing pay increases and continuing assurances that human jobs would not be replaced by automation.

The Costs Of The Vexatious Lawyer: Who Bears Responsibility?, Jayanth K. Krishnan

Articles by Maurer Faculty

This Article investigates how the law should respond to a lawyer who engages in unprofessional, tormenting, or what is often referred to as “vexatious” conduct during litigation. At present, a federal law – 28 U.S.C. §1927 – allows courts to issue sanctions upon a vexatious lawyer. When such a lawyer works for a law firm, a deep split has emerged among the circuits. Some courts have ruled that law firms may also be liable for their lawyers’ actions under the statute. Other circuits, though, have concluded that law firms are free from this type of vicarious liability. Unfortunately, the problem …

Empowering Women In Foreign Policy: A Feminist Perspective For The European Union, Egzona Osmanaj, Visar Hoxha

UBT International Conference

This study examines Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) in the European Union (EU). It aims to define FFP and assess the EU's stance on it. Key findings include: There isn't a clear definition of FFP, but it generally involves including women and girls in foreign policy and empowering them in decision-making. Although some EU member states like Sweden and France have adopted feminist foreign policies, the EU itself seems unprepared for a comprehensive FFP. The current geopolitical climate poses challenges, but there is still room for progress. Adopting an FFP at the EU level could lead to a more peaceful world, …

Ways Of Acquiring Ownership According To Legislation In The Republic Of Kosovo, Erëza Vladi, Enisa Haliti, Sevdai Morina

The Western Balkan Countries’ Respective Pathways To Eu Membership: In View Of The New Methodology For Enlargement And Security Concerns, Elton Tota

UBT International Conference

The continuous EU commitment to the Western Balkans (WBs) has been a key issue and determinant for the European future of the WBs. In recent years, the EU ‘conditionality policy’ for enlargement has been widely criticized as being discouraging for the countries in the accession process, so enthusiasm and motivation for EU enlargement among WBs has been on decline. The regional initiatives established to keep the EU integration process alive, increase the regional cooperation through investments and remove barriers among the WBs such as the Berlin Process (2014) and Open Balkan (2019) although enjoyed the EU support, it was clear …

Policies To Reduce Greenhouse Gas (Ghg) Emissions And Environmental Effectiveness, Afrim Syla

UBT International Conference

The concept of environmental effectiveness has many aspects. In or-der to be effective at mitigating GHG, the policy will need to reduce - rather than displace - emissions, as “leakage” of carbon or other GHG will have no global benefits . Policies may also need to address the broad picture, rather than focusing on optimizing the performance of individual sub-systems. Products used during construction and opera-tion of a building can contribute to Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) problems that affect occupants’ well-being. However, IAQ is conventionally not addressed in the life cycle assessments (LCAs) of buildings and build-ing related products even …

Alternative Measures And Its Advantages, Alma Doko

UBT International Conference

Criticisms of imprisonment as the main prison sentence for the fight against crime, as a negative phenomenon, penal legislation in countries around the world take into account and replace them with other measures, less restrictive but with the same goal, reducing criminality and raising the awareness of perpetrators of crimes acts to respect the governing norms. Alternative measures or probation are measures that are known as community sanctions and measures.

Traces And Criminal Trasology In Fighting Crime, Nuredin Lutfiu

UBT International Conference

Criminalistic traceology is not only a part of criminalistic technique, but it is also incorporated in tactics and methods.

Traceology enables the solution of identification and diagnostic tasks. Traceology is divided into the procedure of searching for traces, providing traces, fixing traces and using them for discovery and …

Public Men's Rooms And The Legal Construction Of Gender And Privacy, Steven J. Macias

University of Cincinnati Law Review

This Article examines how the law is complicit in educating and socializing children into the cultural practices of gender and privacy. It accomplishes this by analyzing case law that involves minors and men’s public bathrooms. The men’s room is a place rife with social ambiguity, an ambiguity that has come to a head in recent transgender school bathroom cases. Although this Article is primarily concerned with the men’s bathroom as an important legal site in the development of gender and privacy for all youth, it discusses transgender (trans) rights cases as presenting the most fundamental challenge to the hegemonic logic …

Algorithmic Reason-Giving, Arbitrary And Capricious Review, And The Need For A Clear Normative Baseline, Cameron Averill

University of Cincinnati Law Review

Federal agencies have caught the artificial intelligence (AI) bug. A December 2023 report by the Government Accountability Office found that twenty of twenty-three federal agencies surveyed reported using some form of AI, with about two hundred current use cases for algorithms and about one thousand more in the planning phase. These agencies are using algorithms in all aspects of administration, including rulemaking, adjudication, and enforcement. The risks of AI are well-documented. Previous work has shown that algorithms can be, among other things, biased and prone to error. However, perhaps no problem poses a more serious threat to the use of …

Rural Renting: An Empirical Portrait Of Eviction, Cassie Chambers Armstrong, Christopher J. Ryan Jr.

University of Cincinnati Law Review

In this Study, we examine eviction from the renter’s perspective. Specifically, we seek to understand what factors influence the eviction process—and the likelihood it will result in a judgment against a renter—once a property owner initiates legal proceedings. To this end, we used records from 202,572 eviction cases filed by landlords in Kentucky state courts. We employed statistical modeling to determine what impacted whether each case ultimately ended in a judgment of eviction against the renter.

Many of our findings were novel, and they were staggering. We found that, holding all else equal, those living in rural areas were at …

Streaming Service Arms Race: Protection And Distribution Of Live Sports Broadcasting In A Cord-Cutting Environment, Leo Bourgeois

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

This paper highlights the disparity in meeting consumer expectations for broadcasting sports content. The current shift to online streaming services creates accessibility and affordability challenges, leading to an increase in illegal streaming. The existing copyright laws in Canada and the U.S. have some limitations in enforcing the rights of sports media rights holders against primary or secondary infringement, and intermediaries face difficulties in removing infringing content. While injunctions and site-blocking orders are potential solutions, they may not completely combat online piracy. A possible solution is a centralized streaming service to address piracy while improving customer satisfaction. However, concerns about feasibility, …
