Undoing Plessy: Charles Hamilton Houston, Race, Labor, And The Law, Gordon Andrews

Dissertations

Undoing Plessy: Charles Hamilton Houston, Race, Labor, and the Law, 1895--1950, explores the manner in which African Americans countered racialized impediments during the first half of the twentieth century by attacking their legal underpinnings. Specifically, this work explores the professional life of Charles Hamilton Houston, and the degree to which it informs our understanding of change in the pre-Brown era. There were a wide range of forces at work, from individuals, organizations, and institutions, to government in its various forms (local, state, and federal), complicating any strategy to reformulate the parameters of equality. Using both labor and education law as …

Choose Your Words Wisely: Affirmative Representation As A Limit On § 230 Immunity, Jeffrey R. Doty

Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts

Since its enactment in 1996, § 230 of the Communications Decency Act has shielded Web site operators from liability arising out of third-party content. The statute preempts any claim that would treat the defendant as a “publisher” or “speaker” of that content, but recent cases suggest that a defendant’s own statements may constitute an independent source of liability beyond the scope of § 230. In Mazur v. eBay, a federal district court held that § 230 does not bar claims of fraudulent misrepresentation when a defendant has described a third party’s auctioning procedures as “safe.” More recently, the Ninth …

A Survey Of The Dmca's Copyright Management Information Protections: The Dmca's Cmi Landscape After All Headline News And Mcclatchey, Susuk Lim

Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts

Copyright management information (CMI), defined by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), is information conveyed with a copyrighted work that identifies the owner and nature of that copyright. Although the DMCA prohibits the knowing removal of CMI under 17 U.S.C. § 1202(b), district court decisions relating to CMI are split on whether its provisions apply only to digital forms or also extend to non-digital CMI conveyance. This Article describes the current state of CMI jurisprudence and the expected effects of possible interpretive outcomes.

Gimme A Brekka!: Deciphering "Authorization" Under The Cfaa And How Employers Can Protect Their Data, Amber L. Leaders

Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts

Federal circuit courts offer conflicting interpretations of when an employee violates the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) by accessing an employer’s computer system without authorization. Enacted originally as an anti-hacker statute, the language of the CFAA proves ambiguous when courts attempt to apply its sanctions to individuals given access to a computer (such as an employee by an employer). Circuit Courts have interpreted the statute differently, generally applying one of two theories to reach their interpretations: (1) agency theory; or (2) looking to the plain language of the statute and the rule of lenity. These differing interpretations have resulted …

Jacobsen Revisited: Conditions, Covenants And The Future Of Open-Source Software Licenses, Yamini Menon

Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts

Open-source software licensing has become mainstream in the field of software development. Nowhere is this more evident than in the 2008 Federal Circuit decision Jacobsen v. Katzer, where the court first interpreted the terms of an open-source software license. The Jacobsen decision offers an important first step in how to interpret the terms of an open-source license, though it does not address how to interpret licenses other than the Artistic License. This Article explores how Jacobsen’s reasoning can be used to interpret the terms of other open-source licenses, particularly the GPL v.2, GPL v.3, Apache License v.2, BSD …

Arbitration As Contract: The Need For A Fully Developed And Comprehensive Set Of Statutory Default Legal Rules, Jack M. Graves

William & Mary Business Law Review

This Article analyzes the United States Federal Arbitration Act, as a statutory framework for effective arbitration of contract disputes. While arbitration under this Act has been subject to ever increasing criticism and calls for reform on a variety of fronts—most often from the perspective of consumer or employment arbitration—this Article focuses specifically on commercial, business-to-business arbitration and critically evaluates the Act as a set of default legal rules governing arbitration as a unique contractual business relationship.

The Article first looks at arbitration from a contractual default rules perspective and then employs this perspective to analyze: (1) the existing federal statutory …

A New Leader In The World Of Legalized Gambling: What The Illinois General Assembly Should Do To Protect Pathological Gamblers From The Rapidly Expanding Industry, Matthew J. Dowd

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This Comment addresses the increasingly recognized disorder of pathological gambling and the lack of consideration it receives from the Illinois General Assembly as gambling in Illinois continues its trend of rapid decriminalization. The Comment first analyzes the well-documented individual and communal problems that are associated with pathological gambling and then examines the historical movement toward dependence on gambling revenues in Illinois. A close examination of gambling legislation in Illinois, Indiana, and New Jersey, and the interpretation of that legislation within those respective courts, reveals that pathological gamblers receive very little statutory protection from the abusive and negligent conduct of casinos. …
