Converting Buildings Is Hard: Why Seattle’S Municipal Government Should Streamline Commercial-To-Residential Conversions, Tyler M. King

Seattle University Law Review

The conversion of commercial buildings into housing is a promising solution to the growing housing crisis in many urban areas. However, despite its potential benefits, the process of repurposing commercial spaces is often stymied by complex zoning codes, high conversion costs, and bureaucratic hurdles. This Article argues that the local and state governments in Seattle should adopt more streamlined policies and offer greater incentives to developers to facilitate these conversions. By reforming zoning regulations and providing targeted financial support, municipalities can reduce the barriers to conversion and unlock the potential of underutilized commercial properties. This article examines the legal and …

"Because The President Said So:" Agency Reason Giving And Presidential Statements Of Will, Nina A. Mendelson

Articles

Reason giving has long been understood to legitimate administrative agency actions by assuring legal, nonarbitrary, stable, and well-considered decisions. It is core to the Administrative Procedure Act's process and judicial review provisions. But the obligation to give reasons is receiving a challenge from the political accountability side, as executive orders skyrocket and the Supreme Court moves towards unitary executive theory in decisions such as Trump v. Slaughter and Seila Law v. CFPB. In striking down independent agencies under Article II, the Court has emphasized that political accountability of agencies to the President is critical. Both the President and executive agencies …

Competition For All? The Ftc’S Ban On Non-Competes And The More Effective Route In Promoting Competition, Aniqah Nashiat

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

Employment contracts have historically included non-compete agreements, which are restrictive covenants forbidding employees from working “for competitors of their former employer for a certain period of time and over a defined geographic area.” American jurisprudence has always left enforcement of these non-competes to states. In the federal government, Congress has never successfully passed legislation on the per se illegality of non-competes. Instead, President Joe Biden signed an executive order in 2021 aimed at promoting the interests of American workers because companies requiring them to sign non-competes restricted their ability to change jobs. Biden explained that strengthening antitrust laws would …

Strings Attached: Science Regulation By Science Funders, Nicholson W. Price Ii

Reviews

Who regulates the physical and informational risks of scientific research? Who makes sure that researchers keep intensely personal data secret, or lock their dangerous chemicals away safely, or don't haphazardly create superviruses that could kill us all? You could be forgiven for assuming it was, well, a regulator—OSHA or the CDC or some similar entity that can promulgate binding rules and enforce them. But as Doni Bloomfield shows in the fascinating How Science Grantmakers Govern, you’d be (mostly) wrong. Instead, a key substantive and procedural regulator of the risky business of scientific research is, in fact, the funder of that …

The Supreme Court And The Constitution, Tom Rozinski

Open Touro Created

2026

The Supreme Court and the Constitution is a casebook for undergraduate students who want to earn about the Constitutional structure of the US government. Since the Supreme Court is responsible for interpreting the Constitution, the book begins with a history of the Court before examining the processes and methods it uses to decide cases. There is also a unit on the development of judicial review and the limitations on the scope of the Court’s actions. One major unit examines the powers of the president in both foreign and domestic affairs, and includes a section on presidential immunities. Another major …

Acts Of Sovereignty In Light Of Administrative And Constitutional Juisprudence In Palestine, Osayd Awawda, Bassam Qawasmeh

BAU Journal - Journal of Legal Studies - مجلة الدراسات القانونية

This paper examines the concept of acts of sovereignty within the Palestinian legal system by analyzing its application in administrative and constitutional adjudication, particularly in cases arising from the 2021 presidential decree postponing the general elections. The paper presents the arguments advanced by the parties before the administrative courts and the Supreme Constitutional Court, and evaluates the extent to which the judicial rulings align with constitutional principles, especially the right to litigation and the right to political participation, including voting and candidacy. The paper also discusses the theoretical and practical foundations for excluding acts of sovereignty from judicial review, and …
