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. Using Entmans framing theory, the research analyzes how tone, language, emphasis, and ideological slant differ across media platofrms and how these frames infleunce public attitudes, insitutional trust, and civic understanding. A mixed-methods design combines archival media analysis, national polling data from Pew Rsearch Center and gallup, and an independent survery to asses how media narratives, rather than …
Algorithmic Models And The Freedom Of Speech,

Algorithmic Models And The Freedom Of Speech, Alexander Tsesis
Fordham Law Review
Intentionality and reason are intrinsic features of the human mind that large language models (LLMs) entirely lack. Although LLMs generate natural-language sentences through algorithmic processes, autonomously produced machine speech lacks the consciousness of human speakers. This intrinsic distinction between natural persons and artificial machines is consequential to whether LLM-generated outputs are covered by the First Amendment. Scholars who equate the constitutional value of human speech with algorithmic outputs tend to emphasize the informational value of those outputs to audiences while giving insufficient attention to the absence of machine consciousness. The conscious underpinnings of thought and their relation to constitutional protections …

Joinder’S Diversity Asymmetry, Jason J. Jarvis
Fordham Law Review
In federal diversity cases, plaintiffs are barred from joining nondiverse supplemental parties or claims under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(b). Defendants, however, can expand the case without the same restriction. Section 1367(b) codified the U.S. Supreme Court’s concern in Owen Equipment & Erection Co. v. Kroger: Plaintiffs might so prefer federal court that they would “sneak” nondiverse parties in by hiding them until after diversity jurisdiction is established, only then springing them on unsuspecting courts and defendants. This Article challenges the justification for that asymmetry in three ways.
First, it explores the history of the asymmetry, starting with how joinder …
Controlling Shareholder Primacy,

Controlling Shareholder Primacy, Naveen Thomas
Fordham Law Review
In just eight months, Delaware’s legislature upended over fifty years of corporate law. Its courts had long upheld shareholder primacy, treating shareholders equally in proportion to their ownership. But after several controversial decisions reinforced this principle, sudden amendments to the corporate code shifted the law toward a distinct paradigm: controller primacy.
While motivated by legitimate concerns, the legislation went too far, threatening to fundamentally realign corporate power and purpose. Contrary to shareholder primacy, the new regime disproportionately prioritizes controlling shareholders above all others. It authorizes contracts that cede the board’s managerial authority to controllers, insulates their self-dealing from shareholder approval …

Royal Canin And The Jurisdiction It Left Behind: The Class Action Fairness Act, Nicole Brosnan
Fordham Law Review
Royal Canin U.S.A., Inc. v. Wullschleger created waves in the federal litigation world by setting forth a new rule, declaring that a plaintiff’s amendment of a complaint following removal is capable of destroying federal jurisdiction. Prior to this case, courts generally followed the “time-of-filing rule” by which federal jurisdiction attached at the time of removal. The U.S. Supreme Court was clear that this rule applies to federal claim jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331, but the Court remained generally silent on its application to jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act.
This Note explores this lack of clarity and proposes …

Crossing The Toll Bridge: American Pipe And The Fate Of State Law Claims After Class Certification Denial In Federal Court, Alexander Schnur
Fordham Law Review
Rule 23(c)(1)(A) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) provides that, “At an early practicable time after a person sues . . . as a class representative, the court must determine by order whether to certify the action as a class action.” In American Pipe & Construction Co. v. Utah, the U.S. Supreme Court addressed the interplay of this FRCP 23(c)(1)(A) class certification decision and statutes of limitations, holding that the commencement of a putative class action suspends the statute of limitations for putative class members while class certification is pending. Over the last fifty years, the American …

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
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.
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
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,

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
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 …
