Ethical And Strategic Issues In Decarbonization Policy, Roger E. Meiners, Andrew P. Morriss Jan 2023

Ethical And Strategic Issues In Decarbonization Policy, Roger E. Meiners, Andrew P. Morriss

Georgia State University Law Review

Policies that force non-fossil fuel energy result in increased reliance on the rapid development and deployment of batteries and other technologies to meet decarbonization goals set by the United States and other industrialized economies. This Article focuses on batteries, noting that key minerals come from corrupt or hostile countries. Many key finished products come from China, thereby making the U.S. and the European Union reliant on an autocratic regime. Using cobalt as an example, the Article considers its production and the U.S.’s unwillingness to shoulder its share of the environmental burden of mineral extraction or refining. Further, the U.S. is …

Synthesizing Energy Transitions, Nadia Ahmad, Uma Outka, Danielle Stokes, Hannah Wiseman

Georgia State University Law Review

This Article assesses the growing and cross-disciplinary literature on energy transitions to explore how it can guide law and policy reforms for the energy sector. The modern conception of energy transition centers primarily on clean energy—a shift away from fossil energy dependence. It also, however, incorporates equity as a core principle, as an increasing emphasis on energy justice and just transition seeks to create guiding norms for the energy sector’s current state of change. The concept of energy transition is critical for describing and giving meaning to a fundamental societal shift at the local, regional, national, and global scales, aligned …

What Comes Next?, Neil Fulton Jan 2023

What Comes Next?, Neil Fulton

Faculty Publications

The United States stands at an important crossroads. Polarization and paralysis are the political norm. Social divisions are deep and seemingly intractable. Concerted action is disappointingly rare. Social and political pressures continue to build like tectonic plates waiting to release. What will come next? This Article begins with a description of the current situation before turning to a consideration of five possible paths forward. First, stasis. There may be more of the same with limited systemic shocks releasing small amounts of pressure without a fundamental change of circumstances. Second, rupture. Building pressure may tear the current political and social system …


South Dakota Legisprudence: A Catalog And Analysis, Neil Fulton Jan 2023

South Dakota Legisprudence: A Catalog And Analysis, Neil Fulton

Faculty Publications

Statutes provide much of the modern legal body of law. It is necessary for any lawyer to have a good understanding of "legisprudence," the rules for enactment and interpretation of statutes. South Dakota has developed a useful body of legisprudence through both statutes and cases that provide direction about how statutes should be read. This article provides a descriptive collection and normative assessment of these interpretive rules.


Rap Traps, Thomas Simmons Jan 2023

Rap Traps, Thomas Simmons

Faculty Publications

South Dakota repealed the Rule Against Perpetuities in 1983. The repeal proved to be the seed from which the state's trust industry grew. This article-the first of two linked pieces-begins by surveying the common law version of Rule Against Perpetuities ("RAP"), how it has traditionally been taught, and its labyrinthine, counter-intuitive mechanics. It holds many traps for both the wary and the unwary alike. In the pages which follow, a handful of inadequate contemporary reforms to the rule will be outlined, and the potentially devastating application of the rule to trusts and long-term family wealth planning will be touched upon. …


The Supreme Court Corrects A Seventy-Five Year Distortion In Establishment Clause Jurisprudence, Patrick Garry Jan 2023

The Supreme Court Corrects A Seventy-Five Year Distortion In Establishment Clause Jurisprudence, Patrick Garry

Faculty Publications

In Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, the US. Supreme Court ruled that the Establishment Clause did not prohibit a high school football coach from offering a brief midfield prayer at the conclusion of games. The Ninth Circuit had held that the coach's free exercise rights had to yield to the Establishment Clause's prohibition of conduct that might reflect a state endorsement of religion. In overturning the Ninth Circuit, the Supreme Court issued an historic and far-reaching ruling on the scope and nature of the Establishment Clause, providing the first truly clarifying decision in this area in the past seventy-five years. …

Public Perceptions Of Exonerees’ Deservingness Of Compensation And Expungement, Elizabeth Jeanne Lopez Jan 2023

Public Perceptions Of Exonerees’ Deservingness Of Compensation And Expungement, Elizabeth Jeanne Lopez

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

To date, over 3,300 people in the United States have been wrongly convicted and exonerated for crimes they did not commit. This issue warrants immediate attention and reform. Sadly, many exonerees struggle to receive compensation for their wrongful convictions and have the wrongful convictions expunged from their criminal records. Researchers have begun to examine this complex issue by studying a range of topics regarding wrongful convictions and exonerees. However, little research has focused on factors that influence public perceptions of exonerees and their deservingness of both compensation and expungement. To address this gap in the literature, the current study used …
