Path To Progress: The Smarter Sentencing Act's Potential To Redefine U.S. Sentencing Norms, Emily K. Abrams

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

Over the past fifty years, the United States has witnessed a staggering increase in its prison population. Between 1973 and 2009, the nation’s prison populations increased seven-fold, at one point growing at a rate of eight percent annually. According to 2023 estimates, roughly 1.9 million individuals were incarcerated in the United States. This stark reality has fueled national discourse on the issue of mass incarceration and contributing policies such as sentencing practices. One such sentencing practice that impacts mass incarceration is statutory mandatory minimums.

Banning Trans Student-Athletes Won't "Save Women's Sports", Laura Tierney

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

In the past few years, a wave of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation has been passed in the House of Representatives and state legislatures. As of February 2024, twenty-five states have laws or regulations which ban “transgender students from participating in sports consistent with their gender identity.” With deceiving names like the “Save Women’s Sports Act” and the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023,” these laws discriminate against trans student-athletes, purportedly in the name of fairness and women’s empowerment .The stark reality is that these bills do nothing to cultivate fairness and safety for student-athletes and do not further …

Communication With Public Officials In The Modern Age Of Social Media: Does It Violate The First Amendment When Public Officials Block Private Individuals From Their Social Media Pages?, Emily Cohen

Duke Journal of Constitutional Law & Public Policy Sidebar

In the modern world, social media dominates. It is considered an almost essential function of public officials, ranging from the President of the United States to local politicians, to maintain at least one social media page to keep the public updated on their policies and current events. As public officials shift toward social media to communicate with the public, these social media sites become the new spaces for public discourse, with members of the public often commenting on or responding to public officials' posts. As more public discourse occurs on these sites, and individuals begin to criticize their public officials …

Another Missed Opportunity To Adopt A Universally Accepted Maritime Treaty, Raul (Pete) Pedrozo

International Law Studies

In March 2023, an intergovernmental conference adopted the Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement). Inspired by a resurgence of the New International Economic Order (NIEO), the BBNJ Agreement contains numerous provisions that will have the practical effect of making ratification of the agreement untenable for the industrialized nations. Similar provisions were included in the original Part XI of the United Nations Convention on the Law of Sea (UNCLOS). As a result, industrialized nations refused to sign or …

You have no choice. Not your body, not your choice, your body is mine and you're having my baby."

With the recent legalization of recreational marijuana in Ohio, this presentation integrates insights from Diana Semilia's 2022 study on Kent State Flight Students Ages 19-26. The study's objective was to extract practical recommendations applicable …

International Law And Acoustic Antagonism In East Asian Waters, Matt D. Montazzoli, John C. Tramazzo

International Law Studies

This article analyzes a 2023 maritime incident in which the Chinese Navy Ship (CNS) Ningbo employed active sonar in the vicinity of His Majesty’s Australian Ship (HMAS) Toowoomba, while knowing that Toowoomba had divers in the water. The Chinese sonar caused injuries to the Australian divers. The article discusses the employment of acoustic devices to cause harm during peacetime and analyzes whether CNS Ningbo’s actions constituted a failure of "due regard" and other applicable legal regimes and norms. The article concludes that CNS Ningbo’s actions were an unlawful use of force and failed to demonstrate due regard, and that …

The Legal Realists On Law And Literature, Dan Priel

All Papers

This encyclopedia entry considers the legal realists’ neglected contribution to law and literature. Starting with Cardozo’s essay ‘law and literature’ on the importance of judicial style, it then considers the contributions of the legal realists to the topic, focusing especially on Karl Llewellyn and Jerome Frank. Cardozo and Frank—both judges who were interested in making sure they effectively conveyed their ideas—focused on the style a judge should adopt. By contrast, Llewellyn’s more sociological perspective was concerned with how different periods (as well as different jurisdictions) were dominated by different judicial styles. However, in both cases the question of judicial style …
