Nestlé V. Doe: A Death Knell To Corporate Human Rights Accountability?, Phillip Ayers
Seattle University Law Review
The Supreme Court in Nestlé v. Doe held that foreign plaintiffs who claimed to be victims of overseas tortious conduct by corporate defendants had no jurisdiction to sue in federal courts using the Alien Tort Statute.

Doe decision, and posits an alternative outcome. Finally, this Comment looks for a new …

Ambulatory Versus Fixed Baselines Under The Law Of The Sea, Sean Murphy
American University Law Review
When “diving” into consideration of sea-level rise issues, one finds various “pools” of international law that are perfectly suited for answering some of the issues we are addressing. For example, Professor Galvão Teles spoke about the protection of persons in the event of sea-level rise. There are, of course, various aspects of human rights law and international law relating to disasters that can be employed to resolve some of the concerns in that regard.

About one in five U.S. adults say they or someone close to them has had a personal experience with gun violence.1 Seventy-one percent of Americans also believe gun laws should be stricter.2 Most people favor a federal law preventing people with mental illnesses from purchasing guns and a smaller percentage favor a nationwide ban on semi-automatic weapons.3 The debate is not so simply divided between those who want to ban all guns and those who want no restrictions on guns. Rather, many Americans value both preventing gun violence and protecting gun rights.4
