The Mind Has A Firewall: An Attempt To Preserve Human Mind Integrity., Sayed G. Batran 2026 The American University in Cairo AUC

The Mind Has A Firewall: An Attempt To Preserve Human Mind Integrity., Sayed G. Batran

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis argues for the recognition of mind integrity as a distinct human right. It contends that existing protections, such as bodily integrity, privacy, and freedom of thought, are no longer sufficient to shield an individual’s mental domain from new forms of external interference enabled by neurotechnology, artificial intelligence, and pervasive data-driven systems. Mind integrity is defined as the right to govern one’s own mental life—to form, revise, and hold thoughts, beliefs, and desires based on reasons one endorses—free from significant, non-consensual interference or manipulation, regardless of the method used. The thesis first identifies concrete risks and regulatory vacuums by …

Roman–Dutch Law, Scottish Civil Procedure And Fusing Of The Common And Civil Jurisprudence, Zia Akhtar 2026 Notre Dame Law School

Roman–Dutch Law, Scottish Civil Procedure And Fusing Of The Common And Civil Jurisprudence, Zia Akhtar

Notre Dame Journal of International & Comparative Law

The range and breadth of Roman law have extended and been assimilated into the distant corners of Europe based on the concept of Jus Commune. Law of Scotland is one of the countries which has adopted Roman legal principles in its substantive law. The Scots law is a non-codified Civil law in which legal principles have been drawn from both the civilian (i.e. Roman law) and common law traditions. It also owes its evolution to the jurists who developed the causes of action in the civil courts of the country. These Roman law foundations still persist in Scottish law and …

The Legal Value Of The Debtor's Objection To The Debt In Jordanian Legislation And Its Civil And Criminal Effect, Batool Sultan Al Maitah

Journal of Police and Legal Sciences

With this research, we have concluded a series of findings and recommendations, most notably that …

Climate Preemption And Fossil Fuel Entrenchment, Vincent Nolette 2026 Columbia Law School, Sabin Center for Climate Change Law

Climate Preemption And Fossil Fuel Entrenchment, Vincent Nolette

Pace Environmental Law Review

Mitigating the worst impacts of climate change demands a rapid reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a transition to renewable, low-carbon sources of energy. This requires building thousands of gigawatts of clean energy at an unprecedented rate and expeditiously retiring existing fossil fuel infrastructure. Yet both parts of this task have been obstructed by state legislative efforts over the last decade—particularly in Republican-led states—to block local governments from reducing greenhouse gas emissions while legally mandating continued fossil fuel reliance. These efforts are accomplished through state climate preemption laws. Framed in neutral or positive terms like “energy choice,” the actual effect …

The Fiduciary Game, Lauren R. Roth 2026 Elisabeth Haub School of Law, Pace University

The Fiduciary Game, Lauren R. Roth

Indiana Law Journal

Fiduciary duties are supposed to bridge the gap between public and private law. Private actors who engage in “public or quasi-public” functions (e.g., corporate directors and pension administrators) are often subject to fiduciary constraints to protect vulnerable parties who lack power in relationships with these actors. Recently, scholars have argued that both courts and legislatures have inappropriately expanded the use of fiduciary duties to purely private relationships. But what if the problem is not the expansion of fiduciary duties to private relationships, but the increasing delegation of public powers to private actors whose behavior cannot be adequately constrained by fiduciary …


Toxic Torts Are In Your Blood: An Examination Of Pfas And Tort Liability, Aiden M. Holden 2026 University of Montana, Missoula

Toxic Torts Are In Your Blood: An Examination Of Pfas And Tort Liability, Aiden M. Holden

Undergraduate Theses, Professional Papers, and Capstone Artifacts

Abstract

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are a group of chemicals widely manufactured for industrial and commercial applications in the past decade due to their remarkable stability. Despite the “useful” nature of PFAS in various applications, they represent one of the most profound environmental and public health crises of the modern era. The chemical stability of PFAS has made them almost completely resistant to natural degradation, earning them the moniker “forever chemicals.” PFAS forever haunt our plant, contaminating the soil, water, and the blood of approximately 95% of the United States population. As the scale of corporate malfeasance by chemical …


More Than A Lawyer: Participation, Representation, And Outcomes In Los Angeles Debt Collection Court, Josephine V. Aspromonte 2026 Claremont McKenna College

More Than A Lawyer: Participation, Representation, And Outcomes In Los Angeles Debt Collection Court, Josephine V. Aspromonte

CMC Senior Theses

This paper estimates the effect of legal representation on case outcomes using 531,959 limited-jurisdiction debt-collection cases filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court between 2012 and 2022. Defendants are classified into three groups: those who defaulted without responding, those who responded pro se, and those who retained counsel. Because defendants are not randomly assigned to representation, three estimation strategies address selection bias: a binary logit, a multinomial logit with text-mined docket covariates, and propensity score matching on pre-treatment characteristics.Three findings emerge. First, the binary logit associates representation with a 10 to 13 percentage point reduction in default probability, but matching …


Foreign States, Private Proxies, And “Discretionary” Torts On U.S. Soil, George K. Foster 2026 Lewis & Clark Law School

Foreign States, Private Proxies, And “Discretionary” Torts On U.S. Soil, George K. Foster

Indiana Law Journal

The tortious act exception to sovereign immunity offers a vital path for tort victims to seek redress against foreign states for harms committed on U.S. soil. Yet some courts have narrowed the exception in troubling ways when rejecting claims alleging clergy abuse cover-ups, cyberattacks, and other serious misconduct. Some have held that the exception applies only to torts committed by state officials and employees, excluding private actors even when acting under state direction. Others have deemed conduct “discretionary”—and therefore immune—even when it patently violated U.S. law or contractual obligations. This Article challenges both readings. Drawing on legislative history, common law, …
