Blame It On The Algorithm (But Sue Them Both): Joint Enterprise And Agency In Ai-Driven Hiring Discrimination, Khushi Palan Jan 2026

Blame It On The Algorithm (But Sue Them Both): Joint Enterprise And Agency In Ai-Driven Hiring Discrimination, Khushi Palan

American University Business Law Review

The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) in hiring processes has created a significant accountability gap in employment discrimination law. While federal statutes like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act focus on finding liability for traditional employers, they fail to adequately address the unique role of third-party AI vendors whose algorithms often drive discriminatory outcomes. This Comment examines the emerging legal landscape through the lens of Mobley v. Workday, where the District Court for the Northern District of California recognized that AI vendors can function as “agents” of …


“Necessary” Jurisdiction: Veterans’ Rights In Article Iii Courts, Dana Montalto Jan 2026

“Necessary” Jurisdiction: Veterans’ Rights In Article Iii Courts, Dana Montalto

American University Law Review

U.S. veterans should possess the same access to courts as other Americans, but a misreading of a federal law has led many veterans to be denied an opportunity to assert their civil rights in any judicial forum.

Social Security And The Low-Income Worker , Nancy J. Altman Jun 2007

Social Security And The Low-Income Worker , Nancy J. Altman

American University Law Review

Social Security is important to all Americans, but, particularly, to low-income workers and their families. Financing the program partly through earmarked deductions from employees’ wages is an integral and vital part of Social Security’s design, and has been an important reason for Social Security’s success and broad public support over the program’s seventy-year life. At the same time, these contributions are harder to bear for those with lower wages. Just as the EITC has eased the burden of these contributions without undermining the basic structure and philosophy of Social Security, so the program’s long-range deficit, if eliminated properly, can help …
