Pemberian Hak Pakai Pada Tanah Girik Berdasarkan Perspektif Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1960 Tentang Peraturan Dasar Pokok-Pokok Agraria (Studi Putusan Pn Jakarta Barat No 386/Pdt.G/2019/Pn.Jkt.Brt), Fauzan Aziman Alhamidy, Yuli Indrawati

Indonesian Notary

A land title certificate is a strong proof of land ownership. After the enactment of Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Agrarian Principles Regulations, proof of land ownership in Indonesia must be registered in order to obtain a certificate. Girik is only proof of payment of tax on land, not proof of ownership of land rights. To become proof of ownership of the Girik land, it must first be upgraded to a land title certificate. Girik that is not upgraded has the potential for ownership disputes, as happened in the case in the West Jakarta District Court Decision Number …

Kesesuaian Ketentuan Pemilik Manfaat Dengan Undang- Undang Yayasan, Elizabeth Michelle Fong, Ashoya Ratam, Rouli Anita Velentina

Indonesian Notary

There is a discrepancy in Foundation Law Number 28 of 2004 and Presidential Regulation No.13/2018 concerning the Application of the Principle of Benefits from Corporations in the Context of Preventing and Eradicating Crimes of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Crimes. Looking at the provisions in the Foundation Law which states that Foundation Organs may not receive profits, temporarily Beneficial Owner itself aims to identify the Beneficial Owner of the Foundation, this is of course contradictory because Foundation Organs are not allowed to receive any benefits. The research method used is doctrinal research with a prescriptive research typology, which is research …

Paying For Performance? Attorneys’ Fees In Securities Fraud Class Actions, Stephen J. Choi, Jessica M. Erickson, A. C. Pritchard

Law & Economics Working Papers

This Article studies whether plaintiffs' lawyers matter in securities class actions. We use inverse propensity score weighting (IPW) to compare the results in cases led by top-tier firms against those brought by lower-tier firms. This technique addresses case selection effects by using all of the cases led by a top-tier firm and then weighting the cases led by lower-tier firms based on how similar these cases are to the cases led by top-tier firms. We do find that top-tier lawyers obtain better outcomes for shareholders in a subset of securities class actions, specifically the cases against the larger (although not …

Good Lawyers, Good Sports?: The Professional Identity Of Sports Lawyers Representing Not-For-Profit Entities, Bruce Green

Texas A&M Law Review

ABA accreditation standards require law schools to develop students’ professional identity, including by encouraging “an intentional exploration of” the legal profession’s “values [and] guiding principles.” This Essay invites legal academia as well as practitioners to explore issues of legal ethics, professionalism, and, especially, professional identity in the context of a new area of legal practice: sports lawyers’ representation of “NIL collectives,” which are not-forprofit entities that college boosters establish to enable college athletes to benefit financially from their name, image and likeness (“NIL”). The work of sports lawyers advising NIL collectives offers an interesting case study for considering how professional …

Even Laypeople Use Legalese, Eric H. Martinez, Francis Mollica, Edward Gibson

Faculty Scholarship

Whereas principles of communicative efficiency and legal doctrine dictate that laws be comprehensible to the common world, empirical evidence suggests legal documents are largely incomprehensible to lawyers and laypeople alike. Here, a corpus analysis (n=59 million words) first replicated and extended prior work revealing laws to contain strikingly higher rates of complex syntactic structures relative to six baseline genres of English.

Next, two pre-registered text generation experiments (n=286) tested two leading hypotheses regarding how these complex structures enter into legal documents in the first place. In line with the magic spell hypothesis, we found people tasked with writing official laws …

Sotomayor Cites Maurer Faculty Member In Scotus’ Decline To Hear Alabama Bite Mark Case, James Owsley Boyd

Keep Up With the Latest News from the Law School (blog)

The case of an Alabama man convicted of murdering his wife in 1985 will not be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, despite evidence that, nearly 40 years later, has been “wholly discredited.”

The Supreme Court denied certiorari in the case of McCrory v. Alabama, but Justice Sonia Sotomayor cited research from Indiana University Maurer School of Law Professor Valena Beety in her concurring agreement with the court’s decision.

Charles M. McCrory was convicted for the murder of his wife, Julie Bonds, based in large part on expert testimony from an odontologist who matched McCrory’s teeth to two bite marks …

The Motherhood Myth, Traditional Firms, And The Underrepresentation Of Women, Paula Schaefer

Scholarly Works

This Article makes the case that the motherhood narrative—that women are underrepresented in partnership and leadership ranks of law firms because they are their children’s primary caregivers—is a myth. After detailing how the motherhood myth has been used as an excuse for a lack of meaningful change, the Article provides evidence of an alternative narrative: “traditional firms” are structurally and culturally antagonistic to women. These firms are characterized by extreme work expectations and heavy reliance on the unpaid labor of stay-at-home spouses (SAHSs). Traditional firms’ dependence upon SAHSs is central to maintaining the firm status quo and driving out women. …

Room To Grow: Exorcising The Curse Of Coverage To Make Room For Professional Identity Formation, Barbara Glesner Fines

Faculty Works

In any conversation about integrating opportunities for professional identity formation into the curriculum, particularly when suggesting that these opportunities be integrated into required doctrinal courses, one will hear an objection that there is no room for these learning activities. Many doctrinal teachers worry that incorporating professional identity formation opportunities or focus into classes would require sacrificing the critical time, doctrinal content, and analytical skills that are the “signature pedagogy” of law schools. Lawyering skills faculty, already managing a broad, feedback-intensive range of learning objectives, may object that their courses are the last place one can find room for one more …

Consumer Litigant Finance And Legal Ethics: Empirical Observations From Texas, Anthony J. Sebok, Lynn A. Baker

Articles

A handful of states, including Texas, have Rules of Professional Responsibility which permit attorneys to provide cash advances to their own clients. In previous work, we suggested that if more states permitted law firms to offer this sort of funding to their clients it would increase competition within the consumer litigant funding market, to the benefit of consumers. We also hypothesized that relaxing these existing prohibitions would better enable tort claimants to decline low-ball settlement offers from defendants in one-off cases.

This Article offers some initial insights into these questions. It reports the findings of our modest empirical study involving …
