“Fair And Open Competition” Or Death To The Union? Project Labor Agreements In Today’S Politically Contentious Atmosphere, 52 Uic J. Marshall L. Rev. 531 (2019), Chelsea Button

UIC Law Review

Many federally-funded construction projects include project labor agreements that include working with specific unions to complete a project. The uniqueness of the construction industry was recognized in the National Labor Relations Act, which allowed project labor agreements on construction projects. PLAs came back to the forefront in 1992 when President Bush issued an executive order prohibiting PLAs on federal construction projects. Since then, a number of presidential executive orders have been issued changing whether project labor agreements may be used. This Comment analyzes the arguments for and against project labor agreements in the construction industry, use of presidential executive orders, …

The rights of transgender individuals has been in the headlines during 2017 - ranging from President Trump's tweet to announce a ban on transgender individuals from serving in the military due to the "tremendous medical costs" to a nationwide injunction imposed by a federal district court on the HHS regulations that prohibit health-care discrimination against transgender individuals under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). There are three important reasons why transgender rights are in the news. First, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, designed to promote the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people, scores employers in its Corporate Equality …

Student-Athletes Put Full-Court Pressure On The Ncaa For Their Rights, 15 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 276 (2016), Taylor Riskin

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

The struggle between the NCAA and student-athletes is one that will not slow down. The issue is whether the mandatory student-athlete agreement is reasonable and, further, if student-athletes should be compensated for the use of their likeness? The answers to these questions are crucial with over a century of tradition on the line. This comment analyzes the recent Ninth Circuit decision through an antitrust and right of publicity lens. Additionally, this comment proposes a solution that allows student-athletes to receive some type of compensation while the NCAA preserves amateurism.

Nip It In The Bud: Compassionate Use Of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act Does Not Provide Employees A Legal Remedy For Adverse Action Based Upon Use In Compliance With The Statute, 49 J. Marshall L. Rev. 193 (2015), Tyler Duff Jan 2015

Nip It In The Bud: Compassionate Use Of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act Does Not Provide Employees A Legal Remedy For Adverse Action Based Upon Use In Compliance With The Statute, 49 J. Marshall L. Rev. 193 (2015), Tyler Duff

UIC Law Review

This legal dichotomy, the federal illegality and state legality, is the reason why Illinois, with its passing of the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act (“the CUA”), and its promises of protection for patients, may not prevent an employer from terminating an employee for marijuana use in compliance with the CUA. This comment provides that the CUA does not, and could not, provide registered users a viable cause of action for such discipline.

Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allow individuals and companies to connect directly and regularly with an audience of peers or with the public at large. These websites combine the audience-building platforms of mass media with the personal data and relationships of in-person social networks. Due to a combination of evolving user activity and frequent updates to functionality and user features, social media tools blur the line of whether a speaker is perceived as speaking to a specific and presumed private audience, a public expression of one’s own personal views, or a representative viewpoint of an entire …

An Evolving Ncaa Leading To An Expanding Client List, 13 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 463 (2014), Frank Battaglia

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

On the heels of the popular March Madness National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”) Basketball tournament, and following Northwestern University student-athletes’ success in unionizing, the extent of student-athlete publicity rights is now more contentious than ever. The divide between an ever-profiting NCAA and exploited NCAA student-athletes has sparked an evolving class-action lawsuit by former student-athletes, who challenge the licensing of their images and likenesses. This lawsuit has become a landmark test of the NCAA’s governance and notions about amateurism in college athletics. The outcome of this case will be a possible sign that compensation for both current and former student-athletes may …


The Emerging Reality Of Social Media: Erosion Of Individual Privacy Through Cyber-Vetting And Law’S Inability To Catch Up, 12 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 551 (2013), Saby Ghoshray Jan 2013

The Emerging Reality Of Social Media: Erosion Of Individual Privacy Through Cyber-Vetting And Law’S Inability To Catch Up, 12 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 551 (2013), Saby Ghoshray

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

The rise of social media means that data about a large number of people is available in public and quasi-public digital locations. Employers, keen on taking advantage of this additional data to decrease the risk associated with an offer of employment, are engaging in “cyber-vetting”—non-consenting social media searches conducted by third parties or the employers themselves. To the extent that current law applies to this practice, the regulation it provides is weak and attacks only part of the problem. Left unchecked, cyber-vetting has the potential to fundamentally alter the scope of prospective employees’ rights. This article surveys the legal and …
