A Framework For Assessing Whether Civil Penalties Under The False Claims Act Violate The Excessive Fines Clause Of The Eighth Amendment, Joel D. Hesch
University of Cincinnati Law Review
Fraud is crippling government programs, such as Medicare and the military. The government’s primary enforcement tool is the False Claims Act (“FCA”), which not only requires that the defendant pay three times the amount of damages, but also mandates a civil penalty of not less than $5,000 and not more than $10,000 (with adjustments for inflation) per violation. Because civil penalties apply to each false claim, complex fraud schemes may result in a defendant being liable for hundreds or even thousands of civil penalties. This article analyzes when civil penalties (or a portion of treble damages) under the FCA violate …

Bureaucratic Overreach And The Role Of The Courts In Protecting Representative Democracy,

Bureaucratic Overreach And The Role Of The Courts In Protecting Representative Democracy, Katie Cassady
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
Although only four departments at the United States’ founding, the American bureaucracy has expanded to address nearly every issue of public life. While these agencies are ostensibly under congressional oversight through monetary allowance and the supervision of the President as part of the executive branch, they consistently usurp their discretionary authority and bypass the Founders’ design of legislative power vested solely in a bicameral legislature.
The Supreme Court holds an indispensable role in mitigating the overreach of bureaucratic agencies. However, despite their obligation to protect the rights of the American people, the courts’ inability to hold bureaucrats accountable has diluted …

The Business Of Securities Class Action Lawyering, Stephen J. Choi, Jessica Erickson, Adam C. Pritchard
Law & Economics Working Papers
Plaintiffs’ lawyers in the United States play a key role in combating corporate fraud. Shareholders who lose money as a result of fraud can file securities class actions to recover their losses, but most shareholders do not have enough money at stake to justify overseeing the cases filed on their behalf. As a result, plaintiffs’ lawyers control these cases, deciding which cases to file and how to litigate them. Recognizing the agency costs inherent in this model, the legal system relies on lead plaintiffs and judges to monitor these lawyers and protect the best interests of absent class members. Yet …

This chapter is shared with express permission of Bloomsbury Academic. The full book is available at: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/access-to-justice-in-rural-communities-9781509951642/ The justice gap persists in many rural parts of the world due to a confluence of economic, cultural, and professional factors at play throughout the justice system and society at large. This justice gap means that people in rural areas experience institutions of justice – including access to lawyers and other legal advice – differently than people in urban areas. Travel, distance, the rural lawyer shortage, and other factors create this difference. No single factor or institution can be blamed for the rural …

Peran Notaris Pada Pembuatan Akta Jaminan Fidusia Dengan Objek Jaminan Berupa Hak Cipta, Abiandri Fikri Akbar
Indonesian Notary
Undang Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2014 Tentang Hak Cipta mengatur bahwa Hak Cipta sebagai benda bergerak tidak berwujud dapat dijadikan sebagai objek jaminan fidusia. Pada Undang-Undang Nomor 42 Tahun 1999 tentang Jaminan Fidusia diatur bahwa pembebanan benda jaminan fidusia harus dibuat dengan akta notaris dengan setidak-tidaknya memuat nilai benda yang menjadi objek jaminan fidusia.. Hal tersebut menimbulkan permasalahan terutama mengenai mekanisme penilaian dan pemuatan hak cipta sebagai jaminan karena sifatnya yang merupakan benda bergerak tidak berwujud sehingga sulit untuk dinilai. Penelitian ini dilakukan secara yuridis-normatif dengan melakukan lapangan wawancara terhadap pihak yang berkaitan dengan pembuatan akta jaminan fidusia. Tujuan dari …

Tanah Ulayat merupakan tanah yang dikuasai secara bersama oleh warga masyarakat hukum adat, di mana pengaturan pengelolaannya dilakukan oleh pemimpin adat (Kepala Adat) dan pemanfaatannya diperuntukan baik bagi warga masyarakat hukum adat yang bersangkutan maupun orang luar. Untuk dapat menyatakan bahwa suatu hak ulayat di suatu tempat tertentu masih eksis, ada tiga unsur pokok yang harus dipenuhi yaitu unsur masyarakat, unsur wilayah dan unsur hubungan antara masyarakat hukum adat dengan wilayahnya. Terdapat dua permasalahan dalam penelitian ini yakni pembuktian atas pemilikan tanah adat berdasarkan UUPA dan pertimbangan hakim pada Putusan Pengadilan Negeri No. 42/Pdt.Plw/2016/Pn Blg serta konsep dan bentuk perlindungan …

Even Lawyers Do Not Like Legalese, Eric H. Martinez, Francis Mollica, Edward Gibson
Faculty Scholarship
Significance
Why do lawyers write in such a convoluted manner? Across two preregistered experiments, we find that lawyers a) like laypeople, were less able to understand and recall “legalese” contracts than content of equivalent meaning drafted in a simplified register; and b) rated simplified contracts as equally enforceable as legalese contracts, and rated simplified contracts as preferable to legalese contracts on several important dimensions. Contrary to previous speculation, these results suggest that lawyers who write in a convoluted manner do so as a matter of convenience and tradition as opposed to an outright preference and that simplifying legal documents would …

New Community Sponsorships For Humanitarian Immigrants: Guidance On Washington’S Practice Of Law And Immigration Services Fraud Prevention Rules, Megan J. Ballard, Zaida C. Rivera
Seattle University Law Review Online
Every state, including Washington, has enacted laws to protect the public from the harm caused when an unqualified person provides legal services. Each state defines the practice of law and generally limits that practice to members of the state bar association. In Washington, a complex collage of case law, statutes, and a Supreme Court rule attempt to define the practice of law, identify when the practice of law by a nonlawyer is unauthorized, and determine when public policy considerations allow such nonlawyer practice.
Protecting immigrants from unauthorized practice of immigration law is a particular concern. People who claim to be …

From Natchitoches To Nuremberg: The Life Of Legal Pioneer Lyria Dickason, Todd C. Peppers
Scholarly Articles
Lyria was one of a small handful of women who graduated from a Louisiana law school in the 1930’s. Despite the employment barriers facing female attorneys, she went on to become one of the first female law clerks in both the federal and state judiciary. To date, Lyria’s story has not been told. I have recently discovered, however, that Lyria’s children and grandchildren preserved her letters to her family. They are a treasure trove of information about a woman whose career took her from rural Louisiana to Louisiana’s highest court as well as the post-war ruins of Nazi Germany. The …
