Drunk Drivers Are A Moving Time Bomb: Should States Impose Liability On Both Social Hosts And Commercial Establishments Whose Intoxicated Guests And Patrons Subsequently Cause Injuries Or Death To Innocent Third Parties, Tracey B. Carter
Law Faculty Scholarship
This Article examines whether states should impose civil liability not only on commercial alcohol vendors under dram shop statutes, but also on social hosts whose intoxicated guests subsequently cause injury or death to innocent third parties. Drawing upon national drunk-driving statistics, historical development of dram shop laws, and comparative analysis of state approaches—particularly in Southeastern jurisdictions—the Article evaluates the effectiveness and limitations of existing liability frameworks. While most states recognize statutory liability for commercial establishments that serve visibly intoxicated persons or minors, many decline to extend comparable liability to social hosts serving adult guests. The Article analyzes the policy arguments …

Mahanoy Area School District V. B.L.: The Court Protects Student Social Media But Leaves Unanswered Questions, David L. Hudson Jr.
Law Faculty Scholarship
In Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L.: The Court Protects Student Social Media but Leaves Unanswered Questions, published in the Cato Supreme Court Review, David L. Hudson Jr. analyzes the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision addressing the scope of public schools’ authority over off-campus student speech on social media. Situating Mahanoy within the Court’s broader K–12 student speech jurisprudence—from Barnette and Tinker to Fraser, Hazelwood, and Morse—the Article explains how the Court declined to adopt a categorical rule excluding off-campus speech from regulation while nevertheless ruling in favor of the student. The majority recognized diminished school …

The Dreaded Parenthetical, Brian Wolfman
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
This essay concerns the use -- and, particularly, the overuse and misuse -- of explanatory parentheticals in legal briefs. The essay describes four particular concerns about parentheticals that appear in briefs. Parentheticals shouldn't be used to repeat what you’ve just said or to say something that easily can be taken out of the parenthetical and placed in ordinary text. Generally, parentheticals shouldn't be used to drive the substance of a brief. The ordinary prose should do that work. And if there’s a good reason to use a parenthetical, try to place it at the end of a paragraph where it …

Death Penalty Exceptionalism And Administrative Law, Corinna Barrett Lain
Law Faculty Publications
"In the world of capital punishment, the oft-repeated refrain “death is different” stands for the notion that when the state exercises its most awesome power—the power to take human life—every procedural protection should be provided. Every safeguard should be met. Granted, doing so makes the death penalty cumbersome. And granted, it slows what Justice Blackmun famously called “the machinery of death.” But when the stakes are literally life and death, the idea is that we ought to make sure that whatever the state does, it does right.
Scholars have lamented the way that this idea of death penalty exceptionalism has …

(Excerpt)
The emergence and rapid growth of technology has dramatically changed society, including the way we communicate and interact. People are gravitating toward shorter forms of written communication, like blogs and tweets. And it seems everyone interacts with others in some way on an online social media platform, exchanging ideas, connecting with friends and colleagues, and offering support.
As a Legal Writing professor, I wonder how this change in written communication will impact legal education and the profession and how I can better prepare my students for a professional environment that embraces these changes. Communication is an essential lawyering skill. …

Reviews
A federal judge is accused of misconduct and an investigation begins. Before the investigation has concluded, though, the judge leaves her post. What happens next? Does it create an accountability gap, and if so, how much should that concern us? These are the questions that Veronica Root Martinez takes up in Avoiding Judicial Discipline.
