Top Dog, Bottom Dollar: A Synthetic Value Approach To Tort Damages, Nadia Yeajin Cianca 2026 University of Michigan Law School

Top Dog, Bottom Dollar: A Synthetic Value Approach To Tort Damages, Nadia Yeajin Cianca

Michigan Law Review

American courts treat tortiously killed or injured dogs as discrete units of property when calculating damages awards for their owners. In doing so, judges rely on tort doctrines developed for family pets and livestock, which all assume that the animal’s economic value inheres in the animal itself. This Note argues that this “discrete-asset assumption” cannot fully capture value in cases involving dogs whose economic value arises from an enterprise jointly created by the dog and its owner, rather than from the dog alone. This Note contrasts traditional income-producing dogs, whose value is derived from their services or pedigree, with modern …

Background Risk And Optimal Liability Rules, Tim Friehe, Joshua C. Teitelbaum 2026 University of Marburg, Public Economics Group

Background Risk And Optimal Liability Rules, Tim Friehe, Joshua C. Teitelbaum

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

We study how background risk that is independent of accident risk affects optimal liability rules in a unilateral accident model with risk-averse parties. Under negligence, background risk borne by a prudent victim raises the optimal due-care standard relative to the benchmark case without background risk. Under strict liability, the optimal level of damages is higher when the prudent victim faces background risk but the injurer does not. When a prudent injurer faces background risk (with or without victim background risk), the optimal level of damages can be higher or lower than in the benchmark case. Our results are robust to …

Governance Costs And The Reallocation Of Administrative Agency Authority, John Meisel 2026 Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville

Governance Costs And The Reallocation Of Administrative Agency Authority, John Meisel

Washington and Lee Law Review Online

The Article examines competing approaches to delegation and the administrative state through the lens of governance costs. It argues that many longstanding debates concerning delegation, agency discretion, judicial review, and constitutional structure are best understood as disputes over the allocation of recurring governance risks, including accountability, agency drift, concentration of power, expertise, delay, coordination costs, and regulatory underproduction.

Rather than treating formalist, pragmatic, and institutional approaches as fundamentally incommensurable, the Article develops a governance‑cost taxonomy that provides a common analytical framework for comparing competing theories of administrative governance. The framework demonstrates how scholars, judges, and doctrines often address similar institutional …


Algorithmic Models And The Freedom Of Speech, Alexander Tsesis 2026 Florida State University College of Law

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 …


Controlling Shareholder Primacy, Naveen Thomas 2026 Brooklyn Law School

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 …


Moving Beyond Worker Rights To Worker Justice, Shefali Milczarek-Desai 2026 Texas A&M University School of Law

Moving Beyond Worker Rights To Worker Justice, Shefali Milczarek-Desai

Texas A&M Law Review

Precarious workers’ on-the-ground realities offer a startling truth often obscured by the jurisprudence of work—that worker justice is greatly circumscribed by and often lies beyond the reach of worker rights laws. This Article is the first to evaluate whether the worker rights paradigm can fulfill the goals of worker justice and, if not, to prefigure what might.

The worker rights paradigm emerged from a quest for worker justice that has been transmuted by work law and the political economy into a workers-as-rights-holders status requiring robust enforcement of worker rights laws. This Article introduces the concept of empirical critical work law …


The U.S. Tax Paradox, Doron Narotzki, Tamir Shanan, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah 2026 Texas A&M University School of Law

The U.S. Tax Paradox, Doron Narotzki, Tamir Shanan, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah

Texas A&M Law Review

The U.S. federal tax system is a paradox. It rejects one of the most effective and widely used federal revenue tools while embracing one of the most inefficient and economically harmful taxes. U.S. policymakers dismiss proven solutions as politically unfeasible yet rely on a system that disproportionately burdens consumers and disrupts trade both domestically and internationally. This contradiction is not just irrational. It undermines the very principles of sound tax policy and economic stability.

This Article traces the historical roots of this paradox, from early American tax revolts to modern trade policies, exposing the irony of a nation that once …
