(Hidden) In Plain Sight: Migrant Child Labor And The New Economy Of Exploitation, Shefali Milczarek-Desai
(Hidden) In Plain Sight: Migrant Child Labor And The New Economy Of Exploitation, Shefali Milczarek-Desai
Arkansas Law Review
Oppressive child labor in America is both an age-old problem and one that is relatively new. Part I presents the tumultuous history of child labor regulation in the United States—a history that provides clues as to why contemporary child labor laws fall far short of comprehensively addressing oppressive, migrant child labor. It then pivots to the contemporary child labor crisis by describing the new economy of exploitation and the unaccompanied migrant children upon which it relies. Part II sets forth the current U.S. legal landscape surrounding child labor laws, including these laws’ failure to protect migrant children. Next, Part II …

Sign Your Name On The Dotted Line . . . Is Netflix’S Squid Game Something More Than Mere Child’S Play?, Samantha Karpman
Sign Your Name On The Dotted Line . . . Is Netflix’S Squid Game Something More Than Mere Child’S Play?, Samantha Karpman
Touro Law Review
Prior to watching Netflix’s hit show, Squid Game, I was proud to say that I was someone who was a true connoisseur of reality television. Like millions of Americans who tune in to their favorite “trash TV” show, I would always look forward to turning on my TV at the end of a long day, sitting back in my pajamas, and binge-watching my favorite reality television shows. And, unlike many viewers, I was not ashamed to say this was one of my favorite hobbies. However, after watching Squid Game, my passion for reality television also grew into a concern for …

Understanding And Adressing Elder Abuse In Contemporary Society, Olivia Nash
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
The purpose of this paper is to spread awareness of what Elder Abuse is. Although we have all heard of it, do we truly know what it is. This piece explains what elder abuse is, focusing on the different types of abuse, why it is a growing problem today, and what we can look for to prevent these issues.
Loophole Entrepreneurship, Brian M. Sirman
Loophole Entrepreneurship, Brian M. Sirman
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
All entrepreneurs seek favorable legal or regulatory treatment for their businesses. Sometimes this leads an entrepreneur to build a business within a gap in the law—a loophole. In so doing, these “loophole entrepreneurs” may avoid steep regulatory compliance costs that otherwise would beset (or perhaps prohibit) their businesses, thereby gaining advantages over competitors. Despite these benefits, loophole entrepreneurship is fraught with risks. Loopholes, by nature, are fragile, and their contours are often uncertain. Moreover, the stigma of “exploiting a loophole” (which connotes unfairness or deception) can provoke ill will among competitors, policymakers, and the public.
The ranks of loophole entrepreneurs …
Res Communis Omnium V. Res Nullius In U.S. Space Mining Law & Policy: A Multilevel Theoretical Analysis Of U.S. Public Policy On Space Minerals Mining Under Title Iv, §51301- §403, U.S. 2015 Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act (Public Law 114-90) & Its Implications For International Space Law Under Articles I & Ii, 1967 Outer Space Treaty, Samuel Chuks Japhets
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The outer space territory and celestial bodies are unfathomably rich in strategic mineral resources worth trillions of dollars such as water ice, helium-3, platinum, iron, cobalt, and ammonia. These space resources, distinct from their space territorial and celestial bodies loci, need to be located, characterized, captured, processed, concentrated, and transported to points of use in-situ or on Earth by capable state and private space investors, stakeholders, or national agencies, for private benefits. Investors in this embryonic space mining industry need legal certainty and predictability under unambiguous legal and policy frameworks that guarantee property interests over extracted minerals. The Problem is …

Can A Christian Be A Lawyer Or Can Both God And Jackson Browne Be Right, Randy Lee
Can A Christian Be A Lawyer Or Can Both God And Jackson Browne Be Right, Randy Lee
Touro Law Review
Jesus’s final command at His final meal before His death was to “love one another.” No less than Jackson Browne insisted that the ultimate absurdity in an absurd world is a “lawyer in love.” Thus, Jesus has commanded that even lawyers must love, but Jackson Browne has emphatically stressed that lawyers are incapable of love. Given the apparent conflict for lawyers between these two observations of Jesus and Jackson Browne, one might wonder whether one can be a Christian and a lawyer both. Can both God and Jackson Browne be right? Of course, the government could seemingly make the answer …
Adult Conservatorship In The United States: Flaws And Proposed Solutions To The Legal System, Margaret Sheffield, Alex Stevens
Adult Conservatorship In The United States: Flaws And Proposed Solutions To The Legal System, Margaret Sheffield, Alex Stevens
Brigham Young University Prelaw Review
Despite attempts to protect incapacitated adults in the United States, financial exploitation of the elderly and disabled remains a serious problem. Adult conservatorships are often established to offer incapacitated adults protection. However, many cases of adult conservatorships lead to increased abuse due to lack of accountability from conservators. This paper provides a brief overview of abuse towards incapacitated adults and proposes a solution in the form of a federal office entitled the Office of Adult Conservatorship and Guardianship Enforcement (OACE) which would be established under the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
Cedaw And Transformative Judicial Obligations: The Vulnerable Migrant Domestic Worker And Root Causes Of Abuse, Cheah W. L.
Cedaw And Transformative Judicial Obligations: The Vulnerable Migrant Domestic Worker And Root Causes Of Abuse, Cheah W. L.
Michigan Journal of International Law
CEDAW’s transformative provisions, which require states to address root causes of injustice and discrimination, can be made more effective not only through legislation and policy, as commonly argued, but through the judiciary. This article highlights the need to develop the content and implementation of transformative judicial obligations under CEDAW through a comparative study of judicial decisions on the abuse of female MDWs in three key MDW destinations that are party to CEDAW—Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. By engaging with scholarship on CEDAW’s positive obligations, transformative equality, and theories of adjudication, this article argues that criminal law courts should not only …

Mapping Racial Capitalism: Implications For Law, Carmen G. Gonzalez, Athena D. Mutua
Mapping Racial Capitalism: Implications For Law, Carmen G. Gonzalez, Athena D. Mutua
Journal Articles
The theory of racial capitalism offers insights into the relationship between class and race, providing both a structural and a historical account of the ways in which the two are linked in the global economy. Law plays an important role in this. This article sketches what we believe are two key structural features of racial capitalism: profit-making and race-making for the purpose of accumulating wealth and power. We understand profit-making as the extraction of surplus value or profits through processes of exploitation, expropriation, and expulsion, which are grounded in a politics of race-making. We understand race-making as including racial stratification, …
Whiteness As Contract, Marissa Jackson Sow
Whiteness As Contract, Marissa Jackson Sow
Faculty Publications
2020 forced scholars, policymakers, and activists alike to grapple with the impact of “twin pandemics”—the COVID-19 pandemic, which has devastated Black and Indigenous communities, and the scourge of structural and physical state violence against those same communities—on American society. As atrocious acts of anti-Black violence and harassment by law enforcement officers and white civilians are captured on recording devices, the gap between Black people’s human and civil rights and their living conditions has become readily apparent. Less visible human rights abuses camouflaged as private commercial matters, and thus out of the reach of the state, are also increasingly exposed as …

"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI
Changes in regulations regarding water exploitation have occurred in Indonesia and there are many rejections from various parties, namely when the Act No. 7/2004 on Water Resources changed the conception of state control over water resources to management by the private. That is what makes Act No. 7/2004 filed a judicial riview lawsuit to the Constitutional Court, and the end of the COURT's decision to repeal Act No. 7/2004 and re-enact Act No. 11/ 1974 About Watering. Which in Act No. 11/1974 adheres to the principle of joint ventures and family. In 2019 then, the government established a new regulation, …

Fighting Human Trafficking And Exploitation Through The Power Of Local Policy And Programs: Analysis And Recommendations, Abby Torrice
Community Engagement Student Work
While the United States has made great strides since 2000 to combat human trafficking federally, there is still much to be done. This capstone project provides a comprehensive understanding of key terms related to human trafficking. These terms are then used to provide context to the reality of the issue of human trafficking and exploitation in our world today, and specifically the United States. Although human trafficking legislation has made swift advances at the federal level since 2000 and states have followed suit in creating their own policies, local municipalities and communities have an immense amount of power in creating …

The Crime Of Cyber Sexual Exploitation Of Children: A Comparative Legal Study, Osama Ghanem Alobaidy
UAEU Law Journal
With the spread of the use of computers and the Internet, more and more pedophiles have easier access to children . They can literally enter a child’s home and not be detected. Pedophiles can sit at their own computer and stake out their next victim. This increase in the usage of the Internet has led to the increase in sexual exploitation of children on the Internet. Due to this increase in the perpetration of such heinous crimes, more international efforts were exerted to combat such crimes. Many countries around the world also enacted laws to combat cyber crimes in general …

Essentially Unprotected, Sherley Cruz
Essentially Unprotected, Sherley Cruz
Scholarly Works
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the American public has relied on “essential” low-wage workers to provide critical services and keep the public safe. Who has been protecting the workers? COVID-19 has exposed cracks that lead to serious gaps in workplace protections for low-wage workers. Decades of exploitative employer practices and neglect from the federal government have left frontline low-wage workers essentially unprotected. Many of these workers are people of color and recent immigrants who have been disproportionately impacted by the virus due to structural racism and socio-economic barriers. This is particularly true in the meatpacking industry, where a …

In 1989, the Washington Supreme Court’s Task Force on Gender and Justice in the Courts produced a groundbreaking report on the impact of gender on selected areas of the law. It concluded that gender did affect the availability of justice. We – the Washington State Supreme Court Gender and Justice Commission – are a product of that report and its recommendations. Now, in 2021, we have completed our follow-up study.
Our legal and social science research, our data collection, and our independent pilot projects all led us to the same frustrating conclusion about the effect of gender in Washington State …

Seeking Equality In Wages For Employees With Intellectual And Developmental Disabilities, Kate Mcilvanie
Seeking Equality In Wages For Employees With Intellectual And Developmental Disabilities, Kate Mcilvanie
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This Comment discusses the little-known exception to the minimum wage within the Fair Labor Standards Act that allows individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to be paid at a rate below the federal minimum wage rate. Starting with background information regarding the progression of labor laws, this Comment addresses the current paradigm of the "sheltered workshop" and the current protections for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the workforce. It will provide specific examples of exploitation that has occurred as a result of this practice, as well as an overview of opposing arguments in the controversy surrounding the sub-minimum …
The Oppressive Pressures Of Globalization And Neoliberalism On Mexican Maquiladora Garment Workers, Jenna Demeter
The Oppressive Pressures Of Globalization And Neoliberalism On Mexican Maquiladora Garment Workers, Jenna Demeter
Pursuit - The Journal of Undergraduate Research at The University of Tennessee
The international economic trends of globalization and neoliberalism have exposed and enabled the exploitation of Mexican workers, especially women in the maquiladora garment industry. During the 1950s, globalization gave rise to the new international division of labor and transnational corporations (TNCs) that have offshored labor-intensive phases of production to developing countries, many of which have pursued export-led industrialization. Export processing in Mexico was encouraged in the 1960s by Item 807 of the U.S. Tariff Code and Mexico’s Border Industrialization Program. Especially following the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s, advanced capitalist countries and International Financial Institutions foisted neoliberal structural …
