Trial By Character, Hillel J. Bavli
Trial By Character, Hillel J. Bavli
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
In this Article, I argue that courts regularly deviate from Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b), which prohibits character evidence—evidence of a defendant’s past misdeeds offered to prove that the defendant acted in conformity with a certain character trait on the occasion in question. These deviations undermine the fairness of a trial and the presumption of innocence. The Article addresses this problem in three ways. First, it explains how courts have misinterpreted Rule 404(b)—an error that I call the permitted-purpose fallacy—and how they have fortified this misinterpretation with a body of flawed principles and precedent. Second, it reports the results of …
1981, Carliss N. Chatman
1981, Carliss N. Chatman
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
42 U.S.C. § 1981 should have solved a pervasive problem in American capitalism—when white economic interests do not converge with the contract rights of Black people, they are excluded from the market in a way that causes systemic harm. This Article proposes that the failure to enforce 1981 in the past may render it more harmful than beneficial in the present climate of retrenchment. The realities of racism combine with the lack of economic interest convergence to make combatting contract inequality on a contract-by-contract basis legally precarious, nearly impossible to properly evaluate, and difficult to economically incentivize. This is in …
Performing Democracy, Carliss N. Chatman
Performing Democracy, Carliss N. Chatman
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
American universities are frequently portrayed as stewards of democracy—sites where dissent is protected, truth is pursued, and diversity is championed. Yet these institutions often betray these ideals, especially under the pressures of donor influence, reputational risk, and political retrenchment. This Essay interrogates the internal contradictions of the university by centering one of its most guarded rituals: faculty hiring. Building on my 2021 article The Soft Shoe and Shuffle of Law School Hiring Committee Practices, I argue that hiring serves as both a performance of inclusion and a mechanism for preserving institutional whiteness, elite networks, and gatekeeping norms. I extend …
Facilitating Mortgage Modification To Save Homes And Mitigate Lender Losses, Julia Patterson Forrester Rogers
Facilitating Mortgage Modification To Save Homes And Mitigate Lender Losses, Julia Patterson Forrester Rogers
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
Homeowners in financial distress or whose homes have been damaged by natural disaster may avoid foreclosure if their lender agrees to modify the loan to reduce payments. Commercial loans may also be modified to avoid foreclosure or in response to changed circumstances or changing market conditions. Although loan modifications are generally beneficial to both borrowers and lenders, barriers to modification exist. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has addressed some of the roadblocks to residential loan modifications by regulating the procedures that mortgage servicers must follow in dealing with delinquent borrowers, but the CFPB and its regulations are at risk …

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
Large language models (LLMs) such as Claude and ChatGPT are the most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) systems ever created, and they are being used to diagnose and treat patients. But LLMs have been shown to be unreliable, unpredictable, and unsafe on occasion. New AI guidelines recommend hundreds of standards, such as ‘transparency’, ‘trustworthiness’, and ‘safety’. But there is deep uncertainty whether these are sufficient. The literature focuses mostly on which standards best suit AI models, not on how to transmute standards into law. This article does that by considering AI guidelines as a starting point, then evaluating whether existing frameworks …
Let’S Modify Safety Valve To Value Family Ties, Laura Ginsberg Abelson
Let’S Modify Safety Valve To Value Family Ties, Laura Ginsberg Abelson
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
Federal sentencing law has long struggled to balance the breadth of drug conspiracy liability with the principle of proportional punishment. The statutory “safety valve” provision, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f) and mirrored in the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, was designed to provide relief from mandatory minimum sentences for low- level, nonviolent offenders. Yet its requirement that defendants disclose all information concerning the offense sometimes places family-member codefendants in an untenable position: they may avoid harsh penalties only by incriminating loved ones. The requirement also conflicts with other provisions of the Guidelines that provide guidelines reductions, but not relief from mandatory …
Rethinking Courtroom Presence In The Virtual Era, Jenia Iontcheva Turner
Rethinking Courtroom Presence In The Virtual Era, Jenia Iontcheva Turner
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
Technological innovation has made virtual appearances by criminal defendants increasingly common. These appearances have advanced efficiency but also raised questions about the scope of both the right and the duty of defendants to be physically present in court. Should judges, for example, be allowed to hold virtual arraignments, even if a defendant wishes to appear in person? Can defendants opt for virtual appearances at will? While courts are beginning to address these questions, they have yet to develop a coherent framework to evaluate when virtual appearances are constitutional and appropriate. This Article seeks to contribute to this project by examining …

Negotiated Outcomes And Abbreviated Trials In Criminal Cases: Balancing Fairness And Efficiency In Three Legal Systems, Michele Caianiello, Jenia I. Turner, Thomas Weigend
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
Facing expanded criminal dockets, justice systems around the world are looking for ways to expedite proceedings and save resources while still offering credible procedures for adjudicating criminal cases. In the United States, defendants tend to face an all-or-nothing choice between two alternatives: a full trial at which all relevant evidence is presented and examined; or a plea bargain leading to a conviction without any presentation of evidence and the waiver of the defendant’s procedural rights in exchange for a reduced sentence. Even in routine misdemeanor cases, a full trial requires substantial expenditures of resources, and its procedural complexity may be …

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications
Digitally captured handwriting preserves pen trajectories and dynamic signals, but it also records hardware- and input-dependent properties that can confound forensic interpretation. This study revises a support vector machine (SVM) screening framework using 16,500 samples from 30 writers, 11 writing-content categories, and five acquisition conditions spanning three tablets and stylus or finger input. Twenty-four raw and derived time-series variables were summarized by maximum, minimum, mean, median, and standard deviation, yielding 120 features; the mode statistic was removed. Writing direction and angular velocity were recalculated with atan2-based vector formulas. Unavailable device/API channels were encoded as zero, and Z-score parameters were estimated …

Reforma Alutsista Dan Sumber Daya Alam: Menjawab Tantangan Hukum Internasional Dan Perdamaian Dunia, Wildan Azkal Fikri, Rohadhatul Aisy
Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan
This study departs from the paradox of the failure to achieve world peace despite the existence of an established international legal regime. It addresses three main objectives: (1) identifying the key factors that undermine world peace; (2) analyzing the failure factors of international law to realize global peace; and (3) formulating a responsive international legal architecture to future peace agendas. The study employs a critical descriptive method with a socio-legal (non-doctrinal) approach, drawing on the analytical frameworks of neorealism, great powers oligarchy, and Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL). The qualitative analysis is conducted by examining power relations, the …
State Ai Therapy Regulations – Analyzing The Illinois Wellness And Oversight For Psychological Resources Act, Natalie Browne
State Ai Therapy Regulations – Analyzing The Illinois Wellness And Oversight For Psychological Resources Act, Natalie Browne
SMU Science and Technology Law Review
According to the Harvard Business Review, the top use case for generative artificial intelligence (AI) in 2025 was therapy and companionship. Accordingly, numerous “therapy-specific” AI tools have hit the market in recent years, vying to fill this growing need. However, individuals are also turning to generic large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, to express their deepest anxieties, seek reassurance, and gather advice. While tech optimists assert that AI therapy tools will extend mental health treatment in care deserts, attention-grabbing headlines about such use cases have shattered communities and shocked legislatures. To address growing concerns about AI therapy, Illinois enacted …

Searches And Seizures Of The Unhoused, Shawn E. Fields
Searches And Seizures Of The Unhoused, Shawn E. Fields
Faculty Scholarship
The United States recorded its largest ever unhoused population in 2024. Acute affordable housing shortages and climate-fueled natural disasters have exacerbated a decades-long unaddressed humanitarian crisis, straining resources in cities and rural areas alike. In response, state and local governments have pivoted to a more punitive approach to houselessness. Draconian "anti-camping" ordinances subject houseless people to fines or arrests while police destroy their property in encampment "sweeps," disconnecting the unhoused from critical social structures. Quality-of-life laws criminalize basic biological functions in public. New York, California, and other states have expanded the reach of involuntary civil commitment procedures, forcibly hospitalizing and …
Build, Baby, Build: Federal Takings For Affordable Homes, Desiree C. Hensley
Build, Baby, Build: Federal Takings For Affordable Homes, Desiree C. Hensley
Missouri Law Review
The private housing market in the U.S. fails to produce sufficient affordable housing for the people who need it. Even middle-income Americans are stretched to buy or rent. If local and state governments cannot respond effectively, may the federal government simply use eminent domain to build affordable homes to correct the nation’s housing market, including the high cost of land? Conventional wisdom is that the Constitution prohibits such federal action. This understanding arises from a brief period during which the federal government built fifty housing projects—approximately 21,000 housing units—in thirty-five cities across the United States during the Great Depression. The …
Unreasonable Accommodations: Staple V. School Board Of Broward County And The Case For The Interactive Process In Title Vii Accommodations, M. Thomas Yang
Unreasonable Accommodations: Staple V. School Board Of Broward County And The Case For The Interactive Process In Title Vii Accommodations, M. Thomas Yang
Missouri Law Review
When Congress enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990, it envisioned a unique dispute resolution mechanism within the statute—the interactive process. Under this process, when an employee requests an accommodation from an employer, the two must “work together to assess whether an employee’s disability can be reasonably accommodated.” Although the term “interactive process” does not appear in the ADA’s text, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) interpreted Congress’s intent and incorporated the interactive process into its regulations to guide disability accommodations. Strangely though, Title VII, which governs religious accommodations, does not include the interactive process in its text …
