Paid To Play - The Canadian Hockey League Players Class Action Litigation, Kennith Wm. Thornicroft
Paid To Play - The Canadian Hockey League Players Class Action Litigation, Kennith Wm. Thornicroft
Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal
In 2014, the National Labor Relations Board’s Regional Director ruled that scholarship football players at Northwestern University were “employees”. Subsequently, in 2015, the full board, and without deciding the players’ status, declined to assert jurisdiction effectively ending the dispute. There are parallels between this dispute and lawsuits currently before the Canadian courts involving the Canadian Hockey League (“CHL”). The CHL is nominally an “amateur” league and is the principal development league for players hoping to pursue a career as a professional hockey player. The players claim they are “employees” under provincial employment standards statutes. The CHL maintains that the players …
The Tendency To See Propensity: How Admitting Defendant-Authored Rap Lyrics As Evidence Of Motive Or Intent Can Look Like Inadmissible Character Evidence, Joseph Noreña
Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal
Defendant-authored rap lyrics admitted as evidence present unique evidentiary issues. In particular, when such lyrics are admitted to prove the motive or intent of the defendant-author, the lyrics can look like character evidence and be unduly prejudicial. Nevertheless, sometimes those lyrics valuably provide specific admissions of the defendant-author’s motive or intent. As a balance, this article argues that courts should be careful to admit defendant-authored rap lyrics where they are only generally related to a defendant’s motive or intent because of the prejudice a jury might have when seeing or hearing defendant-authored rap lyrics.
The Change The Ncaa Does Not Know It Needs: A Promotion/Relegation Structure For College Football, Jack Noonan
The Change The Ncaa Does Not Know It Needs: A Promotion/Relegation Structure For College Football, Jack Noonan
Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal
After each college football season, the talking heads debate which team missed out on the College Football Playoffs. Each year it is a different school who everyone says should have made the playoffs. There are a multitude of reasons for or against each team every year, but the main point remains that the NCAA will always have this problem on their hands. This article proposes the solution of a promotion/relegation style structure which will completely change the dynamic of the conference layout. It will give an opportunity to the best teams outside of the 'Power 5' or FBS to make …
Ventura V. Kyle And American Sniper: The Anatomy Of A Public Figure's Lawsuit, Mike Steenson
Ventura V. Kyle And American Sniper: The Anatomy Of A Public Figure's Lawsuit, Mike Steenson
Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal
Chris Kyle’s book, American Sniper, detailed his exploits as a prolific Navy SEAL sniper. In a book subchapter Kyle detailed an encounter with a “Mr. Scruff Face” in a San Diego Bar. The book states that Ventura made certain statements that were demeaning of the United States and the Navy SEALS.” Scruff Face was subsequently identified by Chris Kyle as Jesse Ventura, former governor of Minnesota. Ventura sued Chris Kyle for defamation, appropriation, and unjust enrichment. Relying on trial court documents, briefs, and the opinions in the case, this article probes those theories of recovery with an emphasis on the …
Have Universities Sold Their Souls To The Devil: The Unacceptable Costs Of Prioritizing Athletics Over Academics, David E. Missirian
Have Universities Sold Their Souls To The Devil: The Unacceptable Costs Of Prioritizing Athletics Over Academics, David E. Missirian
Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal
The article will examine what it means “to win” in today’s university sporting world and what the prize to be won is. In examining how the meaning of winning has changed over time, the article will look particularly at some of the indirect or hidden costs of achieving athletic excellence in today’s highly competitive college sports. Ultimately, this article poses and attempts to answer the question: at what point does the cost to student athletes’ health and safety become too high to justify the prize of “winning”?
Healthy Mind, Healthy Body: An Examination Of The Duty A University Owes To Its Student-Athletes Regarding Mental Health Treatment, Sara Kirtley
Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal
With more and more university students in general, but studentathletes in particular, suffering from mental health issues, ranging from eating disorders to depression to serious anxiety, it seems like universities should have to provide some kind of mental health treatment for their student-athletes, especially considering their duty to provide physical health treatment for sports related injuries. However, the question is whether student-athletes would actually have an actionable right to mental health treatment, that they could turn into a successful claim against a university if the university failed to provide them with mental-health treatment.

Creative Expression Over Rigid Protection: Why The Ninth Circuit Is Correct To Permit De Minimis Sampling, Mitchell Brost
Creative Expression Over Rigid Protection: Why The Ninth Circuit Is Correct To Permit De Minimis Sampling, Mitchell Brost
Pepperdine Law Review
The legal world is at a crossroads following the Ninth Circuit’s decision to uphold de minimis sampling as a valid practice in VMG Salsoul, LLC v. Ciccone. On the one hand, the Ninth Circuit’s affirmation of de minimis sampling fosters creativity and gives aspiring artists greater access to resources they would not otherwise be able to afford. On the other hand, the Sixth Circuit’s earlier decision in Bridgeport Music, Inc. v. Dimension Films that held de minimis sampling to be categorically illegal bolsters copyright protection and facilitates more predictable outcomes in copyright lawsuits. This Note analyzes both cases and ultimately …
Copyright In Characters: A Proposal For Reform, Michael W. Carroll
Copyright In Characters: A Proposal For Reform, Michael W. Carroll
Joint PIJIP/TLS Research Paper Series
The doctrine of character copyright is an eccentricity in copyright law that should either be abandoned or substantially reformed. Originally limited to literary characters, this doctrine decomposes a narrative work in order to recognize characters as works of authorship independent of the narrative works from which they are derived. Claimants generally seek independent protection for characters for three, sometimes overlapping, reasons: (1) to repackage what would otherwise be a weak claim of substantial similarity if comparison were to be made with the work(s) from which the character has sprung; (2) to overcome obstacles posed by prior licensing decisions that have …

Keynote Address: Community Over Constitution, Riddhi Mukhopadhyay
Keynote Address: Community Over Constitution, Riddhi Mukhopadhyay
Seattle University Law Review
In this keynote address, Riddhi Mukhopadhyay challenges the veneration of the U.S. Constitution by highlighting its origins in exclusion and its continued failure to protect marginalized communities. Drawing from her experience in civil legal aid and gender justice, she argues that the Constitution was drafted to consolidate power among white, wealthy men and continues to reflect that legacy through racial, gender, and class-based inequities. While acknowledging the significance of constitutional amendments and landmark cases, Mukhopadhyay emphasizes that meaningful change has always come from community-led action, not top-down reform. Additionally, Mukhopadhyay calls on lawyers and legal advocates to center community, practice …
The Lost Child: A Critique On Transracial Adoption Rhetoric, Hallie Conyers-Tucker
The Lost Child: A Critique On Transracial Adoption Rhetoric, Hallie Conyers-Tucker
Seattle University Law Review
Transracial adoption in the United States reflects a deeply rooted history of colonialism, cultural assimilation, and racial hierarchy, masked by rhetoric focused on the “best interest of the child.” The author critiques that rhetoric and traces how adoption practices and policies, both domestic and international, have evolved to reinforce systemic inequities. Through historical analysis of the forced adoption of Native American, Black, and Asian children, it reveals how the best interest standard has been wielded not to protect children but to uphold political and racial ideologies. The author argues that the prevailing adoption framework relies on child-saving and color-blind narratives …
A Global Reconstruction: Black Internationalism And The Human Rights Regime, Britta Redwood
A Global Reconstruction: Black Internationalism And The Human Rights Regime, Britta Redwood
Seattle University Law Review
Black American advocates for civil, political, and economic rights have long taken an internationalist approach and fostered connections with international organizations and transnational movements. This engagement has also been a generative force and played role in shaping international law. Beginning in the early years of the twentieth century, Black intellectuals and leaders, spearheaded by the NAACP and the UNIA, focused on human rights as a means for addressing and repairing the harms wrought by slavery, Jim Crow, and racism. From the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Genocide Convention, and the drafting of …
The Gap: Addressing The Missing Piece In HawaiʻI’S Anti-Discrimination Laws On Credit And Lending, Wendy Mun
The Gap: Addressing The Missing Piece In HawaiʻI’S Anti-Discrimination Laws On Credit And Lending, Wendy Mun
Seattle University Law Review
This author addresses the significant gap in Hawaiʻi’s anti-discrimination laws, specifically the lack of explicit protections for LGBTQ+ individuals against credit and lending discrimination. Although federal laws like the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) and recent interpretations by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) extend some protections, they remain vulnerable to shifting federal priorities and interpretations. The author explores how other states, particularly California and Washington, have enacted robust statutory protections that clearly prohibit credit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. They argue that Hawaiʻi, despite its large LGBTQ+ population, must amend its credit protection laws to reflect …
The U.S. Drug Policy Hamster Wheel: A Critical Discourse Analysis Of Seattle’S New Drug Ordinance, Hallie Conyers-Tucker
The U.S. Drug Policy Hamster Wheel: A Critical Discourse Analysis Of Seattle’S New Drug Ordinance, Hallie Conyers-Tucker
Seattle University Law Review
The author critically examines Seattle’s new drug ordinance using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to reveal how legislative language influences the policy's actual effect. Although the ordinance claims to prioritize diversion and community health, the use of permissive language such as “may” and “shall” grants broad discretionary power to law enforcement and undermines the stated intent. The author situates the ordinance within a broader historical context, highlighting how drug policy in the United States has consistently been shaped by racialized and stigmatizing narratives. Additionally, the author argues that meaningful reform requires reframing the discourse around substance use to support public health …
Something Concrete: How Labor Advocates Can Best Respond To The Ambiguity Of Glacier Northwest, Ateş Serifsoy
Something Concrete: How Labor Advocates Can Best Respond To The Ambiguity Of Glacier Northwest, Ateş Serifsoy
Seattle University Law Review
The Supreme Court’s much-anticipated decision in Glacier North-west, Inc. v. International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local No. 174 (Glacier) marked a critical moment for workers’ rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and the longstanding practice of Garmon preemption. Yet, initial fears of a significant rollback of workers’ rights, driven by sensational headlines, were met with an unexpectedly narrow Court opinion. This Comment examines Glacier’s implications for Gar-mon preemption and the right to strike. It offers the historical background of the doctrine of labor law preemption before Glacier; presents a detailed analysis of Glacier itself, including its …
A New Exclusionary Rule To Protect Bodily Integrity And Discourage Pretext Stops, Josephine Ross
A New Exclusionary Rule To Protect Bodily Integrity And Discourage Pretext Stops, Josephine Ross
Seattle University Law Review
The author proposes a novel state-level exclusionary rule to reduce racial profiling and protect bodily autonomy during police encounters. The current Fourth Amendment jurisprudence fails to deter pretextual stops and frisks because the exclusionary rule often turns on officer fault and "good faith," allowing racially motivated practices to go unchecked. As federal rollbacks on diversity and data collection hinder efforts to track racial bias, the author argues for a statutory evidentiary rule that automatically excludes drug evidence found during (1) traffic stops, (2) pat-downs for weapons, and (3) consent searches, regardless of an officer’s intent or the legality of the …
Navahine V. HawaiʻI Dept. Of Transportation: The Keiki Will Lead Us, Catherine Smith
Navahine V. HawaiʻI Dept. Of Transportation: The Keiki Will Lead Us, Catherine Smith
Seattle University Law Review
The author analyzes the landmark case Navahine v. Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation, which culminated in the world’s first constitutional climate settlement. Catherine Smith, serving as an expert for the youth plaintiffs, situates the case within Hawaiʻi’s legal tradition of prioritizing children’s rights and intergenerational equity. She explores the evolution of children’s constitutional protections, contrasting Hawaiʻi’s progressive jurisprudence with the dominant adult-centric legal framework on the mainland. She critiques four recurring analytical missteps in U.S. courts that marginalize children’s interests and highlights Hawaiʻi’s public trust doctrine and cultural values, such as the Aloha Spirit, as models for addressing climate-related harms. …
Constitutional Futurism As Pedagogy, Jeremiah Chin
Constitutional Futurism As Pedagogy, Jeremiah Chin
Seattle University Law Review
Constitutional Law has transformed from a course on history to a discussion of current events. Cases like Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard College, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, and Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo reveal that the study of constitutional law is not a static, or even linear, discussion of constitutional text and history. Law is a shifting, changing enterprise that reflects social constructions of power, authority, and identity. How do we teach, learn, and understand constitutional law that is so laden with history, riddled with theories of consistency and adherence to precedent, but ultimately subject …
Can The Law Protect My Craft? How Gaps In Copyright Of Knitting Patterns Symbolize A Greater Struggle For Protecting Traditionally Feminine Forms Of Intellectual Property, Kysa Walzer
Seattle University Law Review
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the application of intel-lectual property rights within the context of copyright protection of knit-ting patterns. The article will discuss the underutilization of copyright pro-tection for knitters and crafters and its larger impact upon craft and indus-try traditionally comprised of women. Part I introduces knitting patterns and a short history of copyright protections. Part II discusses the specific areas within knitting patterns and the knitting community which give rise to legal grey areas for copyright protection. Part III discusses the larger implications of copyright and intellectual property in spaces where women traditionally make …
You Better Werk: The Viability Of A Labor Union For The Cast Of Rupaul’S Drag Race, Brandon Stump
You Better Werk: The Viability Of A Labor Union For The Cast Of Rupaul’S Drag Race, Brandon Stump
Cleveland State Law Review
Reality television cast members are poorly compensated, working under tremendously restrictive and controlling contracts. While actors and writers who are members of the Screen Actors Guild of America and the Screen Writers Guild of America have collectively bargained with studios for better wages, terms, and conditions of employment, contestants on reality television series have gone it alone – auditioning for a series and having no choice other than to accept the contract provided by the studios. In December 2024, at the end of the Biden administration, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) filed a complaint on behalf of the reality …
