The Four Discourses Of Law And Arthur Jacobson's Legal Plenum, Jeanne L. Schroeder 2019 Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law

The Four Discourses Of Law And Arthur Jacobson's Legal Plenum, Jeanne L. Schroeder

Cardozo Law Review

I concentrate on an early work of Arthur Jacobson's that he published just as I started my academic career. Not only did it greatly impress me at the time, but when I reread it recently I was struck with how much it had influenced my thinking. His distinction between correlative and dynamic jurisprudences echo in my Lacanian-based jurisprudential theory of the four discourses of law.


“I Almost Quit”: Exploring The Prevalence Of The Ferguson Effect In Two Small Sized Law Enforcement Agencies In Rural Southcentral Virginia, Joshua L. Adams 2019 Liberty University

“I Almost Quit”: Exploring The Prevalence Of The Ferguson Effect In Two Small Sized Law Enforcement Agencies In Rural Southcentral Virginia, Joshua L. Adams

The Qualitative Report

Recent negatively publicized police-citizen interactions in the media, followed by a subsequent de-policing of police in the United States, has been named the Ferguson Effect. The Ferguson Effect has been explored by prominent scholars in the criminal justice community; however, little is known about how police officers in small rural police agencies perceive the Ferguson Effect. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore the perceptions and lived experiences of police officers regarding the Ferguson Effect in small rural police agencies, as well as police officers’ perceptions of their own organizational justice. Organizational justice theory was utilized as …

The Diffusion Of Legal Innovation--Insights From Mathematical Modeling, Michal Shur-Ofry, Gadi Fibich, Shira Green 2019 Hebrew University of Jerusalem Law Faculty

The Diffusion Of Legal Innovation--Insights From Mathematical Modeling, Michal Shur-Ofry, Gadi Fibich, Shira Green

Cornell International Law Journal

Do countries adopt legal rules due to independent, top-down processes, or do laws spread among nations in a manner that resembles the diffusion of new products and innovations in a social network? We empirically examine this question by employing an influential mathematical model based on sociological diffusion theory and frequently used for analyzing the diffusion of innovations (the Bass model). Our findings indicate that more often than not, the temporal diffusion of legal rules displays a good fit to the Bass model and suggest that this model can provide new insights in studying the diffusion of laws. Particularly, applying the …


Fictional Pleas, Thea B. Johnson 2019 University of Maine School of Law

Fictional Pleas, Thea B. Johnson

Faculty Publications

A fictional plea is one in which the defendant pleads guilty to a crime he has not committed with the knowledge of the defense attorney, prosecutor and judge. With fictional pleas, the plea of conviction is totally detached from the original factual allegations against the defendant. As criminal justice actors become increasingly troubled by the impact of collateral consequences on defendants, the fictional plea serves as an appealing response to this concern. It allows the parties to achieve parallel aims: the prosecutor holds the defendant accountable in the criminal system, while the defendant avoids devastating non-criminal consequences. In this context, …

Sane Gun Policy From Texas? A Blueprint For Balanced State Campus Carry Laws, Aric Short 2019 Texas A&M University School of Law

Sane Gun Policy From Texas? A Blueprint For Balanced State Campus Carry Laws, Aric Short

Faculty Scholarship

merican universities are caught in the crosshairs of one of the most polarizing and contentious gun policy debates: whether to allow concealed carry on campus. Ten states have implemented "campus carry" in some form; sixteen new states considered passage last year; and a growing wave of momentum is building in favor of additional adoptions. Despite this push towards campus carry, most states adopting the policy fail to strike an effective balance between the competing rights and interests involved. When states give universities the option to opt out of the law, for example, they almost always do. Other states impose a …


Feminist Statutory Interpretation, Kim Brooks 2019 Schulich School of Law, Dalhousie University

Feminist Statutory Interpretation, Kim Brooks

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

Leading Canadian scholar Ruth Sullivan describes the act of statutory interpretation as a mix of art and archaeology. The collection, Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Tax Opinions, affirms her assessment. If the act of statutory interpretation requires us to deploy our interdisciplinary talents, at least somewhat unmoored from the constraints of formal expressions of legal doctrine, why haven’t feminists been more inclined to write about statutory interpretation? Put another way, some scholars acknowledge that judges “are subtly influenced by preconceptions, endemic privilegings and power hierarchies, and prevailing social norms and ‘conventional’ wisdom.” Those influences become the background for how judges read legislation. …
