Mediating Pluralism: Felix Frankfurter’S Commitment To Majoritarian Democracy, Dalia Tsuk Jan 2024

Mediating Pluralism: Felix Frankfurter’S Commitment To Majoritarian Democracy, Dalia Tsuk

Touro Law Review

This Article explores parallels between Frankfurter’s faith in democracy, that is, his trust in the legislative and executive branches as reflected in his jurisprudence of judicial restraint, and Frankfurter’s vision for Jewish (and other) immigrants’ integration into the American polity, namely his conviction that immigrants should shed vestiges of their birth cultures and assimilate into their adopted culture. The Article argues that Frankfurter’s commitment to judicial restraint was his means of mediating the pluralist dilemma, that is, the need to accommodate within the law diverse cultures and values; just as Felix Frankfurter, the first-generation Jewish American, wanted to sidestep ethnic …

Public Accommodations Parlance, Grace Vedock Jan 2024

Public Accommodations Parlance, Grace Vedock

Michigan Law Review

Anxieties linger in the interstices of public accommodations law. 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis is the latest in a string of First Amendment cases that call into question the common law duties underpinning public accommodations doctrine. Many commentators have speculated about the decision’s immediate implications. But criticism of the decision is incomplete. This Note takes 303 Creative as a welcome opportunity to reevaluate basic assumptions about how property law operates in relation to constitutional norms. Beginning with the provocative assertion that no legal axiom is infallible, this Note examines permutations of public accommodations and First Amendment law as rhetorical threads …

Penalizing Precarity, Goldburn P. Maynard Jr., Clinton G. Wallace Jan 2024

Penalizing Precarity, Goldburn P. Maynard Jr., Clinton G. Wallace

Michigan Law Review

Retirement policy in America is oriented around 401(k) plans and other employer- sponsored savings plans, which together will receive a whopping $1.5 trillion in tax subsidies over the next decade. This Article uncovers a harmful flaw in the policy governing withdrawals made prior to reaching retirement age: an unnoticed gap between the rules governing plan distributions and the rules imposing penalties on employees in certain situations. Employees are generally required to seek approval from their plan administrator to receive a “hardship distribution.” These requests are granted for employees who face an “immediate and heavy financial need,” such as eviction or …


Advanced Online Continuing Legal Education: How To Leverage Technology-Mediated Education For Lawyers' Lifelong Learning, Seth C. Oranburg Jan 2024

Advanced Online Continuing Legal Education: How To Leverage Technology-Mediated Education For Lawyers' Lifelong Learning, Seth C. Oranburg

Scholarly Articles

Continuing legal education ("CLE") is theoretically important not only for lawyers but also for society. CLE aims to keep lawyers' knowledge of ever-changing law and technology up to date so that lawyers can continue advancing law on its long bend toward justice. CLE can socialize lawyers to the rapidly changing human phenomenon we call culture so that they remain keenly aware of what justice requires. And CLE could help attorneys fulfill their duty of technological competence by keeping attorneys' understanding of legal technology current. For these reasons, as well as others, most states mandate that lawyers take several hours of …

Delayed Emergency Care: How Professional Liability Insurance Affects Doctors’ Decisions After Dobbs And What Needs To Change, Erin Stuart Jan 2024

Delayed Emergency Care: How Professional Liability Insurance Affects Doctors’ Decisions After Dobbs And What Needs To Change, Erin Stuart

Marquette Law Review

In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, ushering in a new era for abortion regulation. In some states, like Wisconsin, abortion was instantly re-criminalized. In rare but serious instances, health care providers faced the dilemma of deciding whether to delay care for emergency abortion services to save the life of a mother, for fear of criminal prosecution. As a result, some providers wondered if their professional liability insurance plan would provide a legal defense in the event of a criminal charge of illegally performing an abortion, though the facts may show it was to save the life …

SchröDinger’S Dissent: The Hybrid Authority Of A Dissenting Opinion, Christina M. Frohock Jan 2024

SchröDinger’S Dissent: The Hybrid Authority Of A Dissenting Opinion, Christina M. Frohock

Marquette Law Review

A dissenting opinion is the Schrödinger’s cat of authorities: both the law and not the law simultaneously. Courts and scholars often clarify that a dissenting opinion is not binding. Outside the universe of precedent, that authority defies easy description. Emerging from the pen of a judge wearing a black robe and acting in an official capacity, a dissenting opinion exhibits the form of the law. Yet, beneath that lofty sheen, a dissent exhibits the substance of commentary. A dissenting judge writes to undercut the law, providing a case law coda. This Article describes the traditional categories of authority, primary and …


Water Law Transitions In The Era Of Climate Change, Luis Inaraja Vera Jan 2024

Water Law Transitions In The Era Of Climate Change, Luis Inaraja Vera

Law Faculty Scholarship

Legal transitions--that is, changes in legislation, regulations, or judicial decisions are necessary to improve any legal system. This process, however, is fraught with obstacles and hard decisions mainly because, while society may gain, some individuals suffer under a new rule. This raises a number of questions. Is the reform unfair to those who lose as a result of it? If so, should the new rule incorporate any form of transition relief to alleviate these concerns, such as compensation? Legal transitions can be particularly difficult when a new rule affects vested property rights. This Article uses water law reform as a …
