Developing Skills Of Leadership Through Service Learning: Alice's Adventures In Wonderland And A Path To Effective Leadership, R. Brad Morgan
Tennessee Law Review
"What could a children's book have to say about leadership?" you may be thinking, "much less leadership in the legal profession?" Well, to that question I defer to one of the book's primary antagonists, the Duchess, and her simple, reassuring words: "'Tut, tut, child!' said the Duchess. 'Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it."'" And with that introduction, dear friends, I invite you to join me as we go down the rabbit hole ...

The New Diversity Crisis In The Federal Judiciary, Jason Iuliano, Avery Stewart
Tennessee Law Review
For much of its history, the federal judiciary was characterized by a complete lack of surface-level (i.e., demographic) diversity. Over the past fifty years, efforts to promote surface-level diversity have yielded significant gains and the modern judiciary now looks more like the citizenry it serves than it has at any other point in history. Although this particular diversity crisis has abated, a new one has taken shape.
Today, deep-level diversity is at an all-time low. This type of diversity denotes those attributes that are non-demographic in nature. It includes characteristics such as work experience, values, attitudes, and educational background. Given …

Riding Circuit: Bringing The Law To Those Who Need It, Susan D. Zago
Florida A & M University Law Review
In this article, I will first look at how various state Access to Justice Commissions in the United States are addressing self-represented litigants' ability to access and navigate the civil court system. I review various projects that attempt to make legal forms and processes more understandable to the public. I also discuss the role of law librarians, and how they bring a working understanding of the problems and missteps that self-represented litigants face first-hand. I argue for better inclusion of these information professionals in state commissions and in various outreach programs to improve the quality of the legal information provided …
Distinctions With A Difference: Why Proper Rule 59(E) Motions Should Not Be Subject To "Second Or Successive" Habeas Analysis,

Distinctions With A Difference: Why Proper Rule 59(E) Motions Should Not Be Subject To "Second Or Successive" Habeas Analysis, Imad S. Matini
Tennessee Law Review
Motions to reconsider-filed under either Rule 59(e) or 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure--are often considered one in the same, whether due to imprudent labeling by a litigant or due to the belief that little distinction exists between the two. In the context of habeas corpus petitions filed by pro se prisoners, motions under Rule 59(e) and Rule 60(b) are often interchangeably filed. Within this context, however, the following issue persists: whether a motion filed under either rule is subject to the "second or successive" restriction under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA). The Supreme Court …

Confusing Patent Eligibility,

Confusing Patent Eligibility, David O. Taylor
Tennessee Law Review
Patent law-and in particular the law governing patent eligibility-is in a state of crisis. This crisis is one of profound confusion. Confusion exists because the current approach to determining patent eligibility confuses the relevant policies underlying numerous discrete patent law doctrines, and because the current approach lacks administrability. Ironically, the result of all this confusion is seemingly clear. The result seems to be that, when challenged, patent applications and issued patents in certain technology areas probably do not satisfy the requirement of eligibility-at least that is the perception. A resulting concern, therefore, is that the current environment substantially reduces incentives …
