Epilogue: Indigenous Research: Future Directions, Deborah McGregor 2018 Osgoode Hall Law School of York University

Epilogue: Indigenous Research: Future Directions, Deborah Mcgregor

Articles & Book Chapters

Indigenous research is often viewed as a novel and recently conceived research paradigm with the aim of explicitly and actively supporting the self-determination goals of Indigenous peoples (National Aboriginal Health Organization [NAHO], 2005). While it may be “new” to academia, engaging in Indigenous inquiry, along with its resultant knowledge production and mobilization, is actually far from new. Indigenous societies, like any autonomous and sovereign nations, required regularly updated knowledge to meet existing and emerging challenges. Indigenous peoples have thus been seeking knowledge to support their existence as peoples and nations for millennia (Absolon & Willet, 2004; Cardinal, 2001; Castellano, 2000; …

The Truth Of The Matter: Why The Social Contract Dictates Legal Scholar's Sincerity, Candor, & Thoroughness, Nicola A. Boothe-Perry 2018 Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University

The Truth Of The Matter: Why The Social Contract Dictates Legal Scholar's Sincerity, Candor, & Thoroughness, Nicola A. Boothe-Perry

Journal Publications

Legal scholars have filled books, treatises, magazines, journals and law reviews with various writings ranging from highly intricate and complex theses to oversimplified and homogenous explanations. In all its forms, legal scholarship has been both touted and taunted by external and internal critics throughout the years. Some suggest that legal scholarship should holistically "frame recommendations to responsible decision makers," and more specifically "help the reader understand law." Others suggest that it should be used to bring "restraint, proportion, perspective and atmosphere" into the legal landscape and society at large. Whatever its stated purpose and whether it be doctrinal, descriptive or …

The Strength Of Digital Ties: Virtual Networks, Norm-Generating Communities, And Collective Action Problems, Raymond H. Brescia 2018 Albany Law School

The Strength Of Digital Ties: Virtual Networks, Norm-Generating Communities, And Collective Action Problems, Raymond H. Brescia

Dickinson Law Review (2017-Present)

To live in a nomos—a norm-generating community—is to understand the norms that are expected of us; to honor our credible commitments to other members of the community; and to share the values, the goals, and even the myths, histories, and stories of the community. For millennia, humans have used narratives, or stories, to communicate norms and values designed to spur the communities they inhabit to solve collective action problems by encouraging their members to trust and to be trust- worthy. To do so, we have used a range of tools, media, and set- tings for those communications, from oral …


The Language Of Neutrality In Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings, Carolyn Shapiro 2018 IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law

The Language Of Neutrality In Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings, Carolyn Shapiro

Dickinson Law Review (2017-Present)

At Justice Neil Gorsuch’s confirmation hearing, then-Judge Gorsuch repeatedly insisted that judging involves no more than examining the legal materials—like statutes and precedents— and applying them to the facts of the case. There is, he emphasized, no room for a Justice’s “personal views,” and he refused even to state his agreement (or disagreement) with such iconic cases as Loving v. Virginia and Griswold v. Connecticut. Instead, then Judge Gorsuch reiterated only that they were precedents of the Court and thus entitled to respect. Frustrating as his answers may have been to some senators, however, they differed from answers given …

A few years later, the one-time Democratic presidential candidate closed his career with 141 arguments before the court, the most of any 20th century lawyer.

Detection And Correction Of Case-Publication Bias, Edward K. Cheng 2018 Vanderbilt University Law School

Detection And Correction Of Case-Publication Bias, Edward K. Cheng

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

The article proceeds as follows. Section 2 motivates the study by de scribing the reasons why case publication bias may be especially acute in the evidentiary context. Section 3 discusses methods for detecting and correcting publication bias. It surveys existing approaches, introduces the intuition behind MSE, and then develops a series of detection models. Section 4 turns to applications. To validate the method, I first apply the proposed model to simulated data sets in which I control the level of publication bias present. I then apply the model to a newly compiled data set of evidentiary rulings dealing with false …
