The Field Of International Business Transactions Law, Kathleen Claussen
The Field Of International Business Transactions Law, Kathleen Claussen
Seattle University Law Review
This Article studies the evolution of the scholarly subfield referred to as the law of “international business transactions” (IBT). It reviews data on academic articles, courses, textbooks and other signifiers of the growth of this research area. Beginning around 1960, scholars began to use the term “international business transactions” and by the 1980s, several law schools were offering a course by that title. A handful of dedicated textbooks soon followed. These data reflect a gradual increase in research on the topic of IBT, particularly in the United States, but also considerable diversity of subject matters covered by those works. The …

Effectiveness Of Research Plans: A Case Study, Thomas "Tj" Striepe, Savanna L. Nolan
Effectiveness Of Research Plans: A Case Study, Thomas "Tj" Striepe, Savanna L. Nolan
Faculty Datasets
This article presents a case study examining whether the creation and use of research plans enhance the effectiveness of legal research by law students. Despite their emphasized role in legal research pedagogy, research plans are often underutilized by students in their summer jobs, clinical work, and post-graduate employment. Through a three-part study, the authors surveyed upper-level students about their use and impressions of research plans, analyzed performance outcomes from a research simulation involving a legal hypothetical, and evaluated five years of assessment data from a 1L Legal Research course. While the experimental study did not yield statistically significant results, students …
Design Problems, Mark P. Mckenna, Jessica Silbey
Design Problems, Mark P. Mckenna, Jessica Silbey
Faculty Scholarship
This Essay draws on our empirical research into designers and their work to investigate the limits of intellectual property law for achieving its goal of progress in the design context. We focus on two related aspects of our research and also address a pressing doctrinal question in design patent law. The two research questions we discuss are: (1) How do designers conceive of and solve design problems through innovative design practice?; and (2) How do designers incorporate human values of coherence, inclusivity, and sustainability in their process, imbuing their practice with a kind of politics? The related doctrinal question concerns …

Common Measures Of Vaccination Intention Generate Substantially Different Estimates That Can Reduce Predictive Validity, Jessica Fishman, K. Aleks Schaefer, Daniel Scheitrum, Christopher Robertson, Dolores Albarracin
Common Measures Of Vaccination Intention Generate Substantially Different Estimates That Can Reduce Predictive Validity, Jessica Fishman, K. Aleks Schaefer, Daniel Scheitrum, Christopher Robertson, Dolores Albarracin
Faculty Scholarship
Surveys often estimate vaccination intentions using dichotomous ("Yes"/"No") or trichotomous ("Yes," "Unsure," "No") response options presented in different orders. Do survey results depend on these variations? This controlled experiment randomized participants to dichotomous or trichotomous measures of vaccine intentions (with “Yes” and “No” options presented in different orders). Intentions were measured separately for COVID-19, its booster, and influenza vaccines. Among a sample of U.S. adults (N = 4,764), estimates of vaccine intention varied as much as 37.5 ± 17.4 percentage points as a function of the dichotomous or trichotomous response set. Among participants who had not received the COVID-19 vaccine, …

Crisis In The Classroom: The Rise Of Book Bans Threatening American Youth, Kris Barrios
Crisis In The Classroom: The Rise Of Book Bans Threatening American Youth, Kris Barrios
Florida Atlantic University Undergraduate Law Journal
Inspired by the experiences of his father as a Polish Jew during the reign of Adolf Hitler, author Art Spiegelman wrote Maus to memorialize the lives of Holocaust survivors. However, multiple state governments have attempted to limit American youth’s access to Maus and other classic literature by pulling books from classroom shelves.1 According to PEN America, over 5,000 books have been banned in the United States in the last two years, with more than half of these bans targeting young adult literature.2 The most commonly objected themes in these books were depictions of violence, the discussion of racism, and the …

Stand Your Ground But For Who? The Criminalization Of Black Women In Self-Defense Laws, Kayla Mae Blount
Stand Your Ground But For Who? The Criminalization Of Black Women In Self-Defense Laws, Kayla Mae Blount
Florida Atlantic University Undergraduate Law Journal
"Stand Your Ground" is an American statute based on the legal notion of "castle doctrine."14 Stand Your Ground is the protection of the responsibility to not retreat and stand your ground, granting any citizen the right to use lethal force without fleeing from a "reasonable" threat. However, the implementation of these laws has been marred by racial bias and systemic discrimination, resulting in unequal outcomes for Black people, particularly women, who find themselves in situations when self-defense is required. In evaluating multiple cases of black woman failing to successfully claim self-defense under Stand Your Ground laws, we seek to understand …

Minority Access To Education And Affirmative Action, Morgan Robinson
Florida Atlantic University Undergraduate Law Journal
Education opens doors to those who can participate in it. For example, pay ceilings based on degrees of education, voting, rights in the US, and many more liberties are a part of the “American Dream .”Minorities have been denied the right to education for hundreds of years, limiting their influence within government, ability to make a living, or freedom from oppression, all rights that white Americans can participate in without having to worry about race. Enslaved people were told they could not learn how to read for fear they would realize they were no different from the people who oppressed …

Res Communis And The Space Race: A Lesson (Yet To Be) Learned, Nurah Ghanie
Florida Atlantic University Undergraduate Law Journal
There has been a shift towards privatization and nationalism regarding the exploration of outer space despite these actions being in direct opposition to international space law. This article will explain and argue against these recent developments, using the current dilemma regarding the future of the space stations located in low Earth orbit (LEO) and the potential for a manned bases on the Moon. This article will focus on the legal framework of both international customary law as well as multilateral treaties, including but not limited to the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 in comparison to national policy by explaining the …
A Brief History Of Voter Disenfranchisement Laws In The U.S., Christian Robinson
A Brief History Of Voter Disenfranchisement Laws In The U.S., Christian Robinson
Florida Atlantic University Undergraduate Law Journal
Following false claims of voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election, several conservative states sought to pass laws designed to limit voter fraud. However, these laws quite clearly restrict the electorate and disproportionally affect the political participation of minority, lower-class, and female voters. The trend of restricting voting rights in the U.S., whether implicitly or explicitly, is not new. Despite claiming to prioritize democratic participation, the U.S. has a history of laws that have limited eligible voters based on race, class, and gender. This is apparent through a close analysis of U.S. voting laws beginning with eligibility as determined by …

The Depp v. Heard case in early 2022 took the global media by storm with the revelation of shocking facts and the endeavour to mend a man’s broken reputation.

Depp maintained that the accusations were untrue and brought forth a defamation suit against Heard. This case undeniably sparked public interest in the law of defamation and its application across the world. The following article will delve into the topic of defamation …
Reimagining Justice Without Execution: Should The Death Penalty Be Abolished?, Tanvi Desai
Reimagining Justice Without Execution: Should The Death Penalty Be Abolished?, Tanvi Desai
Florida Atlantic University Undergraduate Law Journal
Surrounded by controversy, the debate regarding the preservation, or lack thereof, of the death penalty in the United States has sparked intense discourse. It has remained the subject of profound controversy since its beginning during colonial times. Stemming from issues surrounding the ethicality of the capital punishment and the irreversible essence of it, many Americans have begun reevaluating the cruel punishment at hand and favoring the abolishment of the death penalty. As human life becomes increasingly vital in this generation, this paper will argue against the preservation of the death penalty for a multitude of reasons. These compelling reasons include …

Sources Of American Law: An Introduction To Legal Research, Tina M. Brooks, Beau Steenken
Law Faculty Books and Chapters
At its most basic definition the practice of law comprises conducting research to find relevant rules of law and then applying those rules to the specific set of circumstances faced by a client. However, in American law, the legal rules to be applied derive from myriad sources, complicating the process and making legal research different from other sorts of research. This text introduces first-year law students to the new kind of research required to study and to practice law. It seeks to demystify the art of legal research by following a “Source and Process” approach. First, the text introduces students …
Reimagining Langdell's Legacy: Puncturing The Equilibrium In Law School Pedagogy, Laura A. Webb
Reimagining Langdell's Legacy: Puncturing The Equilibrium In Law School Pedagogy, Laura A. Webb
Law Faculty Publications
For more than 150 years, legal education has largely followed the course charted by Christopher Columbus Langdell when he became dean of Harvard Law School in 1870. Langdell’s innovations included the case method, high-stakes summative assessments, and preferences for faculty members with experience in “learning law” rather than practicing it. His proposals were innovative and responsive to challenges in legal education at the time, but this Article argues that taking Langdell’s approach to reform—including a willingness toimplement radical changes in the face of institutional shortcomings—requires reimagining his methods for the benefit of today’s students. We identify key deficiencies of the …
Using Artificial Intelligence In The Law Review Submissions Process, Brenda M. Simon
Using Artificial Intelligence In The Law Review Submissions Process, Brenda M. Simon
Faculty Scholarship
The use of artificial intelligence to help editors examine law review submissions may provide a way to improve an overburdened system. This Article is the first to explore the promise and pitfalls of using artificial intelligence in the law review submissions process. Technology-assisted review of submissions offers many possible benefits. It can simplify preemption checks, prevent plagiarism, detect failure to comply with formatting requirements, and identify missing citations. These efficiencies may allow editors to address serious flaws in the current selection process, including the use of heuristics that may result in discriminatory outcomes and dependence on lower-ranked journals to conduct …
