Virtual Dignitary Torts, Zahra Takhshid
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
The emergence of the metaverse and spatial computing, which has enabled immersive digital interactions, raise complex legal questions. This work examines the feasibility of addressing dignitary torts-such as battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress-committed via avatars. The particular challenge for tort law is the nonphysical nature of selfrepresentations in these virtual spaces. Drawing from the historical evolutions of several dignitary torts, such as the law of battery and emotional harm, this article argues that the key in allowing for the recognition of such harms is appreciating the expansion of the protection of physical body within these torts, to the …

Beyond Statutory Loopholes, Qualified Immunity, And Internal Investigations: A Comparative Analysis Of Police Accountability In The United States And The United Kingdom, Kevyn Mcconlogue
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
While the landscape of policing in the United States and United Kingdom appear different today, their shared roots of enslavement and racism fostered a culture of impunity for police officers in both countries. With community skepticism and public discontent with law enforcement continuing to rise in the United States, the investigative and procedural roadblocks in the way of holding police officers accountable for misconduct must come to an end. In an effort to facilitate conversations about progressive police reform and eventual abolition, this Note compares the modern American and British police accountability systems and the avenues through which victims of …

Praise be to God, and prayers and peace be upon the best of messengers, Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him). And after: The issue of research on the topic (the effects of the sham marriage) is considered one of the important issues due to the novelty of the topic and in contrast to its wideness, as the sham marriage is no longer confined to Western countries, but its scope expanded until it reached the Arab countries. The sham marriage is a contract between two parties, therefore, it will arrange effects related to the spouses or may infringe …

New York City Misses The Exit To Traffic Safety, Joseph Caffrey
Capstones
New York City Misses the Exit to Traffic Safety investigates New York City’s mounting traffic violence crisis through the lens of a devastating crash that killed a Brooklyn mother and her two daughters. It examines the city’s inconsistent enforcement of reckless driving and the failure of the Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program (DVAP), which aimed to reform recidivist speeders. The piece investigates the imperfections of Vision Zero, public backlash to automated enforcement, and the broader failure to prevent recidivist speeding. It also explores policy alternatives like Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), highlighting legislative efforts to revive accountability and save lives, while advocating …

A Quarter Century After The Products Liability Restatement: Reflections, Aaron D. Twerski
Brooklyn Law Review
A quarter century has passed since the adoption by the American Law Institute of the Products Liability Restatement. It is time to reflect on whether it has influenced the courts. At the time of its adoption there was considerable controversy with regard to several sections. Some sections were not controversial. There was little disagreement that a plaintiff may draw a res ipsa like inference of product defect. Nor was there disagreement that if a product was in violation of statute that the product was defective per se. Two sections were highly controversial. The Restatement held that a product could not …

Into The Twilight Zone: Reverse Citizenship Discrimination, Damage Caps, And Escalating Incoherence, William R. Corbett
Brooklyn Law Review
Federal employment discrimination law has become such an asymmetrical and largely incoherent body of law that those who find themselves in its midst can feel as though they have entered another realm or dimension—the “twilight zone.” The role of Section 1981 (42 U.S.C. § 1981) in federal employment discrimination law poses some significant mysteries and problems. The statute was enacted as part of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 to ensure the rights of recently liberated slaves, and it was amended in 1870. One of the rights guaranteed by Section 1981 is the right to make and enforce contracts on …

Redefining The Scope Of Anti-Discrimination Law: Illuminating Colorism As A Basis For Discrimination Claims By Black Entertainers, Tolulope F. Odunsi-Nelson
Brooklyn Law Review
This Article critically examines the pervasive issue of colorism within the entertainment industry and its profound impact on dark-skinned Black entertainers. Anti-Black colorism is discrimination against Black people with darker skin tones and Afrocentric features (i.e. darker eye color, kinkier hair, broader nose, fuller lips). Tracing the historical roots of colorism from the colonial era to contemporary times, the Article emphasizes how societal preferences for Eurocentric features and anti-Black racism have created and perpetuated a hierarchy that disadvantages darker-skinned individuals. It analyzes the underrepresentation and pay disparities faced by dark-skinned Black actors and actresses. It details the industry’s preference for …

A Yellow Light For New York’S Red Flag Law In Criminal Prosecutions: Contextualizing The Fruits Of New York Extreme Risk Protection Orders, Isabella Glassman
Brooklyn Law Review
Public concern over gun violence grabs the news headlines, highlighting mass shootings at schools and suicide rates, amongst other gun-related problems. Twenty-three states in the United States turned to red flag laws to proactively address these gun violence issues. New York is one such state. The crux of New York’s Red Flag Law is the extreme risk protection order (ERPO), which is a civil court order that prevents respondents to ERPO proceedings from possessing or attempting to possess a firearm, rifle, or shotgun for up to one year. This civil court order, however, could slip into the realm of criminal …

A Stronger Future For Family Law Arbitration: Enhancing The Uniform Family Law Arbitration Act To Shield The Vulnerable, Jayden Solomon
Journal of Law and Policy
The rising popularity of alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) methods, particularly arbitration, has transformed family law practices, offering more accessible and efficient means of resolving disputes. This Note explores the critical role of the Uniform Family Law Arbitration Act (“UFLAA”) in safeguarding vulnerable populations, specifically children and domestic violence survivors, within the arbitration process. While the UFLAA offers important protections, these measures should serve as a starting point rather than a benchmark for ensuring these safeguards. This Note advocates for the integration of more robust protections within the UFLAA to better protect these individuals throughout arbitration. It examines the history of …

Unveiling The Underbelly Of Artificial Intelligence: The Inadequacies Of The Legal System With Regard To Victims Of Nonconsensual Sexual Deepfakes, Zilana Lee
Journal of Law and Policy
Artificial intelligence-powered deepfake technology has ushered a new era of digital sexual abuse, allowing for the seamless fabrication of explicit images that violate bodily autonomy with alarming realism. With little more than a photograph scraped from social media, individuals can use AI tools to fabricate hyper-realistic nude images and pornographic videos of people without their consent. These nonconsensual sexual deepfakes are rapidly spreading online, often going viral before victims are even aware of their existence. The technology can affect anyone, but women and girls remain disproportionately targeted. Recent incidents involving minors highlight both the reach and severity of this harm. …

Maine Real Estate Law, Donald W. Philbrick
Maine Law Review
The author, a former lecturer at the University of Maine School of Law, in the book's foreword, disclaims that his book is written for lawyers. In this disclaimer, he is far too modest. Most lawyers who deal with matters concerning real estate law will benefit by a refresher course. This volume provides an excellent and very readable combination of English and Colonial historical background and current Maine law.

How To Use Financial Statements—A Handbook For Lawyers, James R. Flaker
Maine Law Review
It is always dangerous to write a handbook for lawyers on another discipline whether that discipline be medicine, engineering, actuarial science, or accounting. The demands on the lawyer for knowledge in any of these other disciplines differ both in breadth and depth in each of the multitudinous matters in which he finds himself involved. Moreover, among individual practicing lawyers are found widely varying degrees of sophistication in these other disciplines. Bearing in mind this inherent limitation of any handbook for lawyers, it is apparent that Irving Kellogg has done a good job with his handbook on financial statements.

Shortly after the first edition of this book appeared I referred to it as "an excellent treatise," and I have kept a copy close at hand in my office so that I may benefit from its useful insights into procedural problems when I am engaged in my own writing about procedure in the federal system. I have now had an opportunity to read the second edition from cover to cover and have no doubt that it is even better, and will be even more useful to judges and lawyers in Maine and to persons interested in procedure outside Maine, than …

Security Ins. Group V. Emery: A Step Backward For Interest Analysis In Maine, William F. Julavits
Maine Law Review
Security Insurance Group, the Connecticut insurer, sought declaratory relief' alleging that failure by its insured to furnish timely notice of the accident as prescribed by the policy precluded its liability. The insured contended that Maine's notice statute was applicable, requiring only that the insurer receive notice of the action before judgment, and that this requirement was satisfied. Alternatively, the insured contended that even if the Connecticut notice term were held applicable, since there was no contact between the two cars, it was his belief that he was not at fault and thus had no reason to notify his carrier of …

Vagueness And The Vermont Long-Arm Statute, Maine Law Review
Maine Law Review
The authority of state courts to assert jurisdiction over the person of nonresidents has expanded markedly since the days of Pennoyer v. Neff. Different theories for asserting jurisdiction over individuals, as opposed to corporations, have been discarded. For jurisdictional purposes, the common law classifications of in personam, in rem and quasi in rem have been abandoned. "Minimum contacts" has become the all-embracing rationale for reviewing any assertion of jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant by a state court. But if "minimum contacts" has replaced these former concepts and served to simplify and unify the requirements of due process, it has also …

Postjudgment Procedures For Collection Of Small Debts: The Maine Solution, Maine Law Review
Maine Law Review
Debtors' rights and the due process of debt collection have received increasing attention recently in legislative as well as judicial spheres. There have been many efforts to rectify basic contractual inequities, to abolish summary prejudgment remedies and to limit extra-judicial collection abuses. However, comparatively little scrutiny has been focused on postjudgment or post-hearing remedies in the later stages of the collection process. Until recently, Maine's legal remedies for postjudgment debt collection were notorious for their harshness. Jail, the principal sanction, was freely used as a creditors' club to make debtors settle claims. Although inability to pay was not in itself …

State Action And Waiver Implications Of Self-Help Repossession, Maine Law Review
Maine Law Review
In Adams v. Egley, a California federal district court held the repossession sections of the Uniform Commercial Code to be unconstitutional as a denial of due process. The Adams court relied on Sniadach v. Family Finance Co., in which the Supreme Court invalidated the Wisconsin prejudgment wage garnishment law as violative of due process because property was garnished under the statute without hearing or notice to the wage-earning debtor. When Adams was decided, the scope of Sniadach was the subject of extensive judicial dispute. Since then, the Supreme Court's decision in Fuentes v. Shevin has clarified the meaning of Sniadach …
