Evaluasi Implementasi Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Terhadap Desain Surat Suara Calon Tunggal Dalam Pilkada, Enika Maya Oktavia, Rizki Maulana Syafei, Tsalis Khoirul Fatna

Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan

The phenomenon of single candidates in regional elections in Indonesia has created a dilemma in applying democratic principles, especially regarding ballot design that often confuses voters. The Constitutional Court’s Decision Number 100/PUU-XIII/2015 mandated a plebiscite design with “agree” or “disagree” options for single candidates. However, in practice, this design has been distorted with the presence of a blank box without adequate explanation. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which the discrepancy between the Constitutional Court's decision and actual ballot design practices affects voter understanding and the quality of democracy. This study employs a normative juridical method with a …

Orientasi Rigid Dan Moderat Dalam Penafsiran Original Intent Dan Praktiknya Di Indonesia, Muhammad Alwi Khoiri Ramdani, Susi Dwi Harijanto, Lailani Sungkar

Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan

Metode original intent lazimnya menghasilkan penafsiran yang bersifat rigid sesuai niat perumusnya. Selama konstitusi tidak diubah, maka tafsiran original intent pun tidak berubah. Namun penggunaan metode penafsiran original intent di Indonesia dapat menghasilkan pemaknaan yang berbeda/berubah meskipun ketentuan konstitusi dan perumusnya tidak berganti. Hal ini terjadi karena terdapat perkembangan pemikiran dalam penerapan metode penafsiran original intent. Penelitian ini membahas mengenai perkembangan pemikiran tersebut dan menganalisa pola penerapan metode original intent dalam penafsiran konstitusi yang dilakukan oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi di Indonesia. Ini merupakan penelitian doktriner dengan pendekatan konsep dan kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perkembangan pemikiran dalam penerapan metode penafsiran …

Tiktok: To Ban Or Not To Ban: A Threat To Free Speech, Hannah Cohen

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

On January 17, 2025, the Supreme Court in TikTok Inc. v. Garland upheld the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (the “Act”),[2] effectively banning TikTok in the United States unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sells its American operations.  This decision impacts over 170 million Americans and presents a significant threat to their First Amendment rights.

President Trump’S Attack On Congestion Pricing Is An Attack On New York City, Alyx Mckinnon

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

Despite a rocky start, New York City’s Central Business District Tolling Program, more commonly known as the city’s congestion pricing plan, has seen demonstrable success in its implementation.  The plan aims to ease traffic in some of Manhattan’s busiest streets by charging motorists nine dollars for entry to the Congestion Relief Zone during peak hours, with the revenue supporting the struggling Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“MTA”) and funding the public transportation that keeps the city running.

The Future Of Non-Competes In Ny: Non-Competes Reconsidered In Senate Bill S4641a, Daisy Elliot

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

Non-competes are contracts that prevent an employee from working for or starting a competing business.  Typically, non-competes are enforceable for a specific period of time, ranging from six months to two years.  These agreements can affect all employees, ranging from low-wage workers to CEOs.  Non-competes are a controversial topic, with ongoing debate about their necessity.  Advocates often argue they are necessary to protect trade secrets, while opponents argue they lower wages and limit job opportunities.  In New York, non-competes remain enforceable; however, as lawmakers push for reform, their future remains uncertain.

Quo Vadis Desain Pengamanan Hakim Dari Perbuatan Merendahkan Kehormatan Dan Keluhuran Martabat Hakim (Pmkh) Di Indonesia, Zainatul Ilmiyah

Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan

Judges, as the main judicial actors in law enforcement, have an independent nature, both in terms of institutions and in terms of determining their decisions. However, in exercising their authority, judges are often faced with the risk of injury, both physical and psychological, by the public, who are not satisfied with the decisions made by the judges. With an empirical legal research method and using a conceptual approach, statute approach, and comparative approach, this study aims to find the best form in the design of an institutional model for judge and court security units. In this study, it was found …

Keynote Address: The Movement To Protect Kids From Addictive Technologies, Gaia Bernstein

Seattle University Law Review

In this keynote address, I describe my personal journey starting with a school outreach program I created in 2017 to address technology overuse among kids. While I initially advocated for self-help methods, I grew to recognize that the tech industry bore responsibility. This realization led me to write Unwired: Gaining Control over Addictive Technologies, which focused on collective action to pressure the tech industry to redesign its addictive products.

I then describe the movement to control addictive technologies and protect kids, which has gained momentum since the end of the pandemic. This movement combines grassroots parent activism with legal-political action. …

Moral Panic Or Public Health Crisis? Lessons From Drugs And Gambling For “Addictive” Design, Matthew B. Lawrence, Haomin (Kevin) Yan

Seattle University Law Review

Alcohol, automobiles, guns, lottery, loot boxes, meat, music, opioid painkillers, processed foods, prop bets, slot machines, television, tobacco, violent video games. Over the last century each of these has been subject to concerns—some might even say “moral panics”—from parents and policymakers about avoidable harms to kids and adults. In some cases we look back with the benefit of hindsight and dismiss those concerns as naïve or moralistic. In others we look back at them as justified or as having come too late to check an expanding industry before it did unfathomable harm while growing so powerful that it became all …
