America’S Two Pastimes: Baseball And Constitutional Law; Review Of Adrian Vermeule, Common Good Constitutionalism, Paul J. Larkin
Catholic University Law Review
For the last 50 years, the two prevailing constitutional interpretation methodologies have been Originalism and Living Constitutionalism. The former treats the Constitution almost like a contract and demands that interpreters focus on the ordinary contemporary understanding its terms would have received when they became law. The latter treats the Constitution as a charter for the structure of a new government that would survive and mature as needed to protect both the nation and its people as new threats to government and civil liberties arise. Professor Adrian Vermeule’s book Common Good Constitutionalism offers a new approach to constitutional interpretation, one that …

Unpuzzling Complete Preemption: Beneficial National Bank V. Anderson After Two Decades In The Circuit Courts, Anthony Salzetta
Pace Law Review
Beneficial National Bank v. Anderson, 539 U.S. 1 (2003), established the modern complete preemption doctrine—a method of finding removal jurisdiction by way of federal defense. The decision was met immediately with a great degree of confusion and critique by scholars concerned with the doctrine’s theoretical foundation (or lack thereof) and the potential disarray in its prospective execution by lower courts.
This twenty-year retrospective tackles whether clarity has emerged in the lower courts. By analyzing all 164 circuit court cases citing to Beneficial National Bank, I find minimal moments of disagreement between circuits as to application of the doctrine. Courts …

Misunderstanding Meriwether, Brian Soucek, Ryan Chen
Fordham Law Review
Meriwether v. Hartop is widely seen as one of the most important academic freedom and transgender rights cases of recent years. Whether praising it as a victory for free speech or condemning it as a threat to educational equality, commentators across the political spectrum have agreed on one thing: the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit did something big when it held that professors at public universities have a First Amendment right to misgender their students in class. But contrary to popular belief, Meriwether held no such thing. In fact, the Sixth Circuit could not have held what …

Between Scylla And Charybdis: Addressing Software Patent Eligibility In Early-Stage Litigation, Pooja Krishnan
Fordham Law Review
The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International established a two-step inquiry for determining the eligibility of a patent claim for protection. The test has faced criticism for its inconsistency, particularly when evaluating software-related patents. These inconsistencies are exacerbated when the test is applied during the early stages of litigation to address motions made under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) and 12(c), as the test often requires an in-depth technical analysis of the claims.
First, this Note examines the current approach to software patent eligibility and the various points of inconsistencies and tension. This Note …
Twenty Years After Krieger V Law Society Of Alberta: Law Society Discipline Of Crown Prosecutors And Government Lawyers,

Twenty Years After Krieger V Law Society Of Alberta: Law Society Discipline Of Crown Prosecutors And Government Lawyers, Andrew Flavelle Martin
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
Krieger v. Law Society of Alberta held that provincial and territorial law societies have disciplinary jurisdiction over Crown prosecutors for conduct outside of prosecutorial discretion. The reasoning in Krieger would also apply to government lawyers. The apparent consensus is that law societies rarely exercise that jurisdiction. But in those rare instances, what conduct do Canadian law societies discipline Crown prosecutors and government lawyers for? In this article, I canvass reported disciplinary decisions to demonstrate that, while law societies sometimes discipline Crown prosecutors for violations unique to those lawyers, they often do so for violations applicable to all lawyers — particularly …

Narrowing The Scope Of Public Order Payment Under Uae Private International Law: A Critical Study,

Narrowing The Scope Of Public Order Payment Under Uae Private International Law: A Critical Study, Mariam Ahmed Alsandal Dr.
UAEU Law Journal
Private international relations are the legal relations of a foreign component, for which the legislator has permitted the application of foreign law to their disputes, which is approved by the Emirati legislator in the Federal Civil Transactions Law No. 5 of 1985 and its amendments, through a set of legal rules known as the rules of attribution contained in texts 10 to 28 of this law. The Emirati legislator also approved the application of the foreign law in the Federal Personal Status Law No. 28 of 2005 and its amendments, stipulating that the litigants or one of them must adhere …

Fee Shifting, Nominal Damages, And The Public Interest, Maureen Carroll
Law & Economics Working Papers
As the Supreme Court recognized in its 2021 decision in Uzuegbunam v. Preczewski, nominal damages can redress violations of “important, but not easily quantifiable, nonpecuniary rights.” For some plaintiffs who establish a violation of their constitutional rights, nominal damages will be the only relief available. In its 1992 decision in Farrar v. Hobby, however, the Court disparaged the nominal-damages remedy. The case involved the interpretation of federal fee-shifting statutes, which enable prevailing civil rights plaintiffs to recover a reasonable attorney’s fee from the defendant. According to Farrar, a plaintiff can prevail by obtaining the “technical” remedy of nominal damages, but …

“Moral Conviction” Plus “Joint Sanctions”: The Judgment-Defaulter Blacklist System In China, Ding Chunyan
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
Although there has been literature generally discussing China’s social credit system, little research carefully examines the nature and logic of the judgment-defaulter blacklist system, from which the broader blacklist system under the social credit system originated. This article reveals that China’s judgment-defaulter blacklist system pragmatically utilizes a strategic combination of “moral conviction” and “joint sanctions” to remedy the failure of the judiciary to perform its duty of judgment enforcement and the ineffectiveness of the legal approaches to enhancing judgment enforcement. The judgment-defaulter blacklist system runs parallel to the existing legal system and will likely impose double punishment on discredited judgment …

A Further Look At A Hague Convention On Concurrent Proceedings, Paul Herrup, Ronald A. Brand
Articles
The current project of the Hague Conference on Private International Law has reached a critical juncture that requires careful consideration of the terms that delineate the scope of the proposed convention. Work to date has not followed the mandate of the Council on General Affairs and Policy to produce a convention that would deal with concurrent proceedings, understood as including pure parallel proceedings and related actions. In two previous articles we have addressed the practical needs that should be addressed by the concurrent proceedings project and the general architecture of such a convention. The process is now mired in terminological …

Liability Of Third Parties In Compulsory Implementation: A Comparative Study, Dr. Yasser Bassem Al-Sabawi
مجلة جامعة الإمارات للبحوث القانونية UAEU LAW JOURNAL
The creditor's right to initiate compulsory enforcement procedures, in legal terms, entails an integrated executive association in terms of its elements, namely, the person, the subject and the reason, which constitutes the theory of implementation in general. Since implementation theory consists of three basic elements, implementation people, the reason for implementation, and the place of implementation. The subject of the research will be limited to the implementation persons, not all the people involved in the process of forced implementation. But only to third parties.
Since direct enforcement procedures require the intervention of several persons in the executive association, in order …

This paper examines the stance of the UAE legislator regarding the use of tele-communication technologies in civil procedures. The legislator authorized the use of electronic mail and fax in judicial notifications in the Federal Law No. (28) Of 2005 on Personal Status.
However, the UAE legislator expanded the use of telecommuting technologies in civil procedures by the Federal Law No. (10) 2017 amending certain provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure. As well as the issuance of the Council of Ministers' Resolution No. (57) of 2018 on the regulation of Civil Procedure Code, which included more details and applications of …
