Implementasi Peraturan Daerah Dalam Otonomi Daerah Menjadi Salah Satu Parameter Good Governance, Ananda Rayhana Putri

"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI

Regional Regulation as one of the regional legal products is something inherent with the Regional Autonomy system. This is a consequence of the regional autonomy system itself which is based on independence and is not a form of freedom of an independent government unit. Independence itself means that the Region has the right to regulate and manage the domestic affairs of its own government.

The Promise And The Peril: Artificial Intelligence And Employment Discrimination, Keith E. Sonderling, Bradford J. Kelley, Lance Casimir

University of Miami Law Review

Artificial intelligence (“AI”) is undeniably transforming the workplace, though many implications remain unknown.

It unveils the first nationwide empirical survey of plain language laws to reveal their locations, coverages, and standards. In doing so, the Article creates a systematic …
