Regulating Compliance Officers, Jennifer M. Pacella
Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law
Compliance officers are currently an unregulated body and, unlike the legal profession, are not subject to any particular set of professional guidelines that guide their behavior. The lack of a distinct compliance officer profession creates risks relating to heightened potential personal liability and the possibility of merging with another profession that is not exactly compatible with the compliance function. To mitigate these risks, this Article proposes the creation of a professional regulatory system for compliance officers that is industry-specific and self-regulated and discusses the various benefits that would stem from such a system.

Nil: How Third-Party Businesses Exploit Collegiate Student-Athletes With Impunity, Matthew Glogower
Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law
While there are numerous state NIL (name, image, and likeness) laws protecting student-athletes from economic exploitation, there is no federal law which offers universal protection, nationwide, to student-athletes. State NIL laws offer some protections for student-athletes from exploitation by colleges, universities, and boosters, but there is no protection for student-athletes who sign NIL deals with for-profit third-party businesses. These NIL deals, between the student-athlete and third-party businesses, make up the majority of NIL agreements. Section 6 of the proposed College Athlete Economic Freedom Act (“CAEFA”), titled “Enforcement Provisions,” aims to codify federal protection for student-athletes against colleges, universities, and boosters, …

Human Capital Disclosure & Corporate Governance: The New Evidence, George S. Georgiev
Cardozo Law Review
This Article explores the evolution of human capital disclosure—firm-supplied information about various workforce-related matters—as a factor in contemporary corporate governance. Regulatory and nonregulatory developments from recent years have upended longstanding practices and generated extensive new evidence. Most notably, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a human capital management (“HCM”) disclosure mandate in 2020, which, though long overdue, was criticized from the outset for its modest scope and lax design. In the meantime, courts have taken a renewed interest in board of directors’ oversight responsibilities in a number of areas, including HCM, while labor’s power has unexpectedly increased in some …
“Split My Award With Whom?” A Case For Plaintiff Incentive Awards And Plaintiff-Attorney Fee Splitting In Class Action Lawsuits,

“Split My Award With Whom?” A Case For Plaintiff Incentive Awards And Plaintiff-Attorney Fee Splitting In Class Action Lawsuits, Ilana Kruchenetskaya
Cardozo Law Review
Named plaintiffs are the heart of class action lawsuits—without them, there is no class action. To motivate these individuals to be the face of the class and compensate them for their role in the litigation process, courts typically approve named plaintiff incentive awards when such awards are included in settlement offers. Recently, however, the Eleventh Circuit held that these awards are prohibited under purported Supreme Court precedent from the late 1800s. This decision undermines the future of class actions by removing any incentive individuals may have in taking on the extra work and scrutiny of bringing a class action lawsuit. …

Dejoyful Noise: Reimagining Title Vii Religious Accommodations In The Wake Of Groff V. Dejoy, Mikko Biana
Brooklyn Law Review
The prominence of religion in everyday life has dwindled in recent decades. The number of Americans who attend weekly religious services continues to decline, and wide swaths of the population now profess irreligion altogether. Despite this trend, constitutional mandates such as the Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses remind society that throughout history and into the present day, the relationship between religion and state has been and always will be ripe for discussion. The 2023 Supreme Court decision Groff v. DeJoy exemplifies this characterization. Prior to Groff, the Court primarily relied on a 1977 case, Trans World Airlines, Inc. v. Hardison, …

Power And Finesse: How The United States’ And Australia’S Women’S National Soccer Teams Score For Equal Pay, Arianna Amato
University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review
Over the last fifty years, women’s soccer has emerged as a segment of the sport attracting an audience of all ages, genders, and national origins. Despite its relatively young but dense history, the sport’s following is fun, passionate, and inspiring to both die-hard fans and casual viewers alike. However, with its explosion in popularity comes a corresponding rise in life-altering issues requiring legal solutions. Behind the scenes, these female athletes come together not only over their love of the beautiful game but in confronting similar challenges regarding their employment agreements, which are governed by domestic and international labor law, as …

At the onset of the full-scale Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, U.S. law clinic professors worked alongside the leadership of the Association of Legal Clinics of Ukraine. The mutual objective was to support Ukrainian law professors and facilitate the continued legal education of their students, particularly the acquisition of skills typically taught in law clinics. Ultimately, the online partnership that developed focused on skills training and included seven Ukrainian law schools, faculty from over six U.S. law schools and one private law firm, and USAID Justice for All Activity in Ukraine. The overall goals of this collaboration were to …
