Sosiologi Hukum Dan Perubahan Sosial: Studi Kasus Uu No. 35 Tahun 2014 Tentang Perlindungan Anak Sebagai Respon Terhadap Kesadaran Sosial Yang Meningkat Akan Hak Anak, Fahrul Rozi

Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan

Dalam konteks sosial yang dinamis, kesadaran akan hak anak telah meningkat, terlihat dari perhatian masyarakat terhadap isu-isu seperti kekerasan, eksploitasi, dan diskriminasi. Meskipun UU No. 35 Tahun 2014 memberikan kerangka hukum yang kuat untuk melindungi hak-hak anak, tantangan dalam pelaksanaannya masih ada, termasuk kurangnya sumber daya dan koordinasi antar lembaga. Anak jalanan, sebagai kelompok yang paling rentan, sering kali terjebak dalam siklus kemiskinan dan stigma sosial, yang menghambat upaya perlindungan. Menekankan pentingnya edukasi dan sosialisasi mengenai hak anak, serta peran aktif masyarakat dan media dalam mendukung perlindungan anak. Dengan kolaborasi antara pemerintah, masyarakat, dan lembaga swadaya masyarakat, diharapkan hak-hak anak …

Virtual Dignitary Torts, Zahra Takhshid 2025 University of Denver

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 2025 Brooklyn Law School

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 …

The Effects Of A Sham Marriage: A Comparative Study, Dr. Nada Salim Hamdoon

Faculty Peer-Reviewed Papers | بحوث هيئة التدريس المحكمة

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 2025 Cuny Graduate School of Journalism

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 2025 Brooklyn Law School

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 2025 Brooklyn Law School

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 2025 Brooklyn Law School

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 2025 Brooklyn Law School

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 2025 Brooklyn Law School

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 2025 Brooklyn Law School

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 2025 University of Maine School of Law

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 2025 University of Maine School of 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.


Maine Civil Practice (2d Ed.), Charles A. Wright 2025 University of Maine School of Law

Maine Civil Practice (2d Ed.), Charles A. Wright

Maine Law Review

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 …
