Quantitative Legal Research In Germany, Dirk Hartung

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

This chapter positions quantitative legal research in Germany, where it is a relatively new discipline, within the country’s greater legal academic landscape. The early stage of the discipline makes Germany particularly interesting for international scholars and open to a global academic dialogue. In addition, as the discipline is still young, the discourse is still open to influence from a global community. The following discussion argues for better access to legal data and tries to save researchers from pitfalls such as high fees for or dubious providers of legal data.

Student Note: The Nfl And Opioid Abuse: Choosing The Best Route To Tackle A Difficult Problem, Jacob Freeland

Belmont Health Law Journal

Based on current precedent, legal relief is not a viable solution to remedy the NFL’s ongoing substance abuse issues. However, the long-term safety of current and future football players, as well as the integrity of the sport, can be saved if instead of resorting to the courts, the players take this battle to state and federal legislatures while simultaneously promoting cultural awareness of the dangers that these prescription practices pose to past, current, and future football players. Part II of this note will examine the relevant legal and procedural history of opioid-related lawsuits that have been filed against the NFL …

Next, Part IV explores arguments for and against criminal …

Garza’s historic appointments as the first Mexican American federal district judge and later the first Mexican American on a federal circuit court, along with Gonzalez’s service as the first Hispanic …

Next, Section III will explain why existing gun legislation is unworkable and ineffective, specifically addressing the discrepancies between various state and federal laws and the barriers to mental health treatment that further hinder gun …

Teaching Written Advocacy In A Law Clinic Setting, Tamar Ezer

Articles

Written advocacy is a critical lawyering skill and vital component of student work in many clinics. This is certainly true in appellate advocacy and policy-based clinics, such as my own focused on human rights advocacy. Teaching written advocacy requires a deliberate and thoughtful pedagogy, just as with other aspects of clinical teaching. There is a rich literature on teaching legal writing, but only sparse discussion of its applicability in the fast-paced law clinic setting, where written products have real world consequences and need to be of high quality. This article delves into this literature and argues that written advocacy consists …
