How Traditional And Social Media Shapes Public Perception Of United States Surpeme Court Decisions On Civil Liberties, Leila P. Martin

Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects

This study examines how traditional and social medai shape public perception of U.S. Supreme Court decisions on Civil liberties, focusing on four landmark cases: Dobbs v. Jackson, District of Columbia v. Heller, Materpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, and Obergfell v. Hodges.

Dyslexia is a heritable, neurobiological learning disorder that persistently interferes with reading, spelling, and writing and is distinct from intellectual, visual, or hearing impairments. Although an estimated 15% to 20% of the general population may show symptoms of dyslexia, studies report that 41% to 62% of incarcerated individuals display dyslexia-related characteristics. This beginner’s guide introduces dyslexia for criminal justice, forensic mental health, and legal professionals. It reviews diagnostic considerations, including the distinction between dyslexia and low literacy, the varied cognitive profiles of dyslexia, and the influence of co-occurring conditions such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The article frames the link between dyslexia …


Incidental Jurisdiction, Mark Moller 2026 Texas A&M University School of Law

Incidental Jurisdiction, Mark Moller

Texas A&M Law Review

Federal courts have incidental, or implied, powers. On this, there is general agreement among originalist researchers. But there is also wide consensus that, whatever incidental powers Article III courts enjoy, these powers do not include incidental subject matter jurisdiction. Article III must confer federal subject matter jurisdiction expressly.

The conventional wisdom against incidental jurisdiction, though, is entirely unexamined. It is also wrong as an original matter. This Article presents new evidence that the express terms of Article III did not cash out the scope of federal subject matter jurisdiction. The outer boundaries of subject matter jurisdiction were defined, instead, by …


Business Court Best Practices: Constructive Thoughts On The Challenging Work Of Effective Commercial And Corporate Law Adjudication, Leo E. Strine, Jr. 2026 Texas A&M University School of Law

Business Court Best Practices: Constructive Thoughts On The Challenging Work Of Effective Commercial And Corporate Law Adjudication, Leo E. Strine, Jr.

Texas A&M Law Review

A market-based economy governed by the rule of law constitutes part of our traditional freedom as Americans. And that economy’s fair and efficient functioning is important to the economic opportunities and security of all Americans. To aid in that important end, during the last two generations, many American states have attempted, by various means, to create judicial forums, often termed “business courts,” for the efficient and fair resolution of business disputes. Many of these business court initiatives have drawn inspiration from the success of the Delaware Court of Chancery and the Delaware Supreme Court in resolving corporate and commercial disputes …


Rethinking Remittitur In Texas Law, David M. Gunn 2026 Texas A&M University School of Law

Rethinking Remittitur In Texas Law, David M. Gunn

Texas A&M Law Review

The Texas appellate rules say next to nothing about remittitur. About as far as they go is to state in Rule 46.3 that a court of appeals “may suggest a remittitur.” The text and history of this provision might raise more questions than they answer. Nineteenth-century courts across the country began resorting to remittitur, but they spent little time explaining remittitur’s origins. Texas courts followed a similar path, until an 1893 statute expressly told the courts what to do in instances of excessive damages: they had a “duty” to “indicate” to the damage claimant the amount of the excess, with …


Judicial Independence As A Constitutional Construction, Keith E. Whittington 2026 Texas A&M University School of Law

Judicial Independence As A Constitutional Construction, Keith E. Whittington

Texas A&M Law Review

An independent judiciary, in the American context, might best be understood as a constitutional construction. That is, it is a politically constructed set of practices, institutions, and norms that extend, but do not contradict, the legal requirements of the formal constitution. As such, judicial independence has come to occupy a fundamental status within our inherited constitutional order. But importantly, it is mutable. Our inherited practice of judicial independence has been built up and fought over across time, and within the contours of the written constitution, can be significantly reconstructed.

The example of judicial independence can serve as a useful illustration …


Ai And Legal Malpractice: Are We Due For A Reckoning?, John Browning 2026 Texas A&M University School of Law

Ai And Legal Malpractice: Are We Due For A Reckoning?, John Browning

Texas A&M Law Review

As the rate of AI adoption by lawyers steadily climbs, unfortunately so has the number of incidents of AI misuse by attorneys. For some time, courts satisfied themselves with giving offending lawyers warnings, ordering them to take additional CLE, and/or administering relatively nominal monetary sanctions. Lately, however, frustrated judges throughout the country have upped the ante by not only assessing increasingly higher sanctions but also imposing case dismissals and suspensions or disciplinary referrals for the lawyers involved. As this article discusses, with their negligence exposed to the public eye and the harsh gaze of their clients, lawyers who misuse AI …
