Eighty Years Of Federalism Forbearance: Rationing, Resignation, And The Rule Of Law, Gil Seinfeld
Reviews
Andrew Coan’s book, Rationing the Constitution, offers a novel account of the forces that drive Supreme Court decisions across a wide array of highly controversial, vitally important areas of law. The project is ambitious. It endeavors to improve our understanding of forces that constrain the form and, ultimately, the substance of our constitutional law along each of its major axes: federalism, the separation of powers, and individual rights. I think it succeeds. The book’s central claim—that familiar (but underexplored) institutional constraints and background norms sharply limit the range of choices available to the Court when it is called upon to …

True Friends Never Disappear, Alberto R. Gonzales
Law Faculty Scholarship
In this reflective essay published in Student Lawyer, Alberto R. Gonzales recounts his personal and professional journey from a childhood marked by poverty to service at the highest levels of state and federal government, including as U.S. attorney general. Gonzales describes how early material deprivation fueled his ambition, leading him to elite educational institutions and a prestigious legal career. Yet, despite significant professional accomplishments—including service as a Texas Supreme Court justice, White House counsel, and attorney general—he reflects that achievement alone did not bring lasting fulfillment. Instead, he emphasizes the enduring importance of authentic relationships, particularly with family and …

Protecting Participants In Genomic Research: Understanding The "Web Of Protections" Afforded By Federal And State Law, Leslie E. Wolf, Catherine M. Hammack, Erin Fuse Brown, Kathleen M. Brelsford, Laura M. Beskow
Law Faculty Scholarship
Advances in genomic research increasingly rely on large-scale datasets combining biospecimens, electronic health records, and behavioral data. This article examines the complex legal framework governing privacy and confidentiality protections for participants in genomic research in the United States. Through a combination of qualitative interviews with national thought leaders and systematic legal analysis of federal and state statutes, the authors assess how existing legal protections operate in practice. The study evaluates several hypothetical research scenarios—including the return of individual results, data breaches, and legal demands for data access—to illustrate how laws such as the Common Rule, HIPAA, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination …

Hierarchies Of Elitism And Gender: The Bluebook And The Alwd Guide, Steven K. Homer
Faculty Scholarship
Hierarchies persist in legal academia. Some of these, while in plain view, are not so obvious because they manifest in seemingly small, mundane choices. Synecdoche is a rhetorical device used to show how one detail in a story tells the story of the whole. This Article examines hierarchies of elitism and gender through a lens of synecdoche. The focus is on the choice of citation guide. Even something as seemingly benign and neutral as choosing a citation guide can reveal hierarchies of elitism and gender bias in legal education and the legal profession. Put another way, the choice of citation …

Academic Law Libraries And Scholarship: Communication, Publishing, And Ranking, Dana Neacsu, James Donovan
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
The context in which academic libraries operate is fast evolving, and the current COVID pandemic has underscored the new demands on libraries to reinvent themselves and their scholarship role. The library’s role has always been focused on scholarly dissemination and preservation, more recently by archiving their faculty work on mirror sites known as academic repositories. Libraries connect scholarship and users by offering the space for users to come and use the archived knowledge. However, if historically their role was to collect and provide secure access to sources, that role is in the midst of radical transformations.

An Unusual Suspect? Unreliable Narrators In Fiction And Law, Cathren Page
Articles
This article discusses the common traits of unreliable narrators and provides solutions for those seeking to defeat unreliable narrators in legal battles. Since the unreliable narrator concept first developed and evolved in literary analysis, the article explores and compares unreliable narrators in both fiction and law.
When the audience cannot depend on the accuracy or reliable character of a narrator’s account, literary criticism deems these storytellers “unreliable narrators.” Unreliable narrators exhibit certain “tells,” which disclose to savvy or intuitive audience members that some aspect of the narrators’ tale is dubious. These unreliable narrators can be divided into two broad categories, …

Regarding Narrative Justice, Womxn, Geeta Tewari
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
The story within this article explores how narrative justice can be applied as a form of advocacy for persons seeking access to justice. The questions—what is narrative justice? How do we define it?—deserve a separate space, which will be shared in a forthcoming article. Meanwhile, in short, narrative justice is the power of the word—written, spoken, articulated with the emotion or experience of an individual or collective, to shape or express reaction to law and policy.

Creating A Biographical Dictionary Of The Justices Of The Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania: A Bibliographical Essay, Joel Fishman
Law Faculty Publications
As a student of Pennsylvania legal history, one of my goals is to create a website on the history of the Pennsylvania judiciary. In submitting a proposal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, the Court and the Court Administrator approved the creation of a biographical dictionary of the Court's judiciary. The Supreme Court dates itself back to 1684 when William Penn created a Provincial Court to hear appeals from the county justices of the peace (act 158 of 1684). There are approximately 165 justices dating from 1684 to the present. Following the information provided on the court's current website (www.pacourts.us), my …
