Energy Ratings Hit Commercial Real Estate - California Lights The Way, Jonathan Cahill

The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law

The Energy Star Program has been extremely successful for consumer appliances and electronics, but can this success translate to commercial real estate? In the United States, commercial buildings account for nearly nineteen percent of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. Consequently, energy rating of buildings has become an increasingly attractive way to combat pollution and lower energy consumption. Despite this, the United States does not yet have a federal policy requiring energy usage disclosure for buildings. This has left state and local governments to lead the way in innovative and effective reporting regimes. California's response to this regulatory vacuum is Assembly Bill …

Rethinking Hiv-Exposure Crimes, Margo Kaplan

Indiana Law Journal

This Article challenges the current legislative and scholarly approaches to HIV-exposure crimes and proposes an alternative framework to address their flaws. Twenty-four states criminalize consensual sexual activities of people with HIV. Current statutes and the scholarship that supports them focus on HIV-positive status, sexual activity, and knowledge of HIV-positive status as proxies for risk, mental state, and consent to risk.

Criminalization should be limited to circumstances in which a defendant exposed her partner to a substantial degree of unassumed risk and did so with a …

Due Process And The Post-Padilla Landscape: Balancing The Severity Of Deportation As A Collateral Consequence With A Court's Traditionally Narrow Obligation In Accepting A Plea, Orrie A. Levy

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article examines the implications of the Supreme Court's decision in Padilla v. Kentucky, which established that defense attorneys must inform defendants of the immigration consequences of a guilty plea under the Sixth Amendment. It explores the tension between the Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel and the Fifth Amendment due process obligations of trial courts, highlighting that while Padilla mandates attorney advice on immigration consequences, courts are not required to inform defendants of such consequences. The article argues against extending due process obligations to include severe collateral consequences, emphasizing the impracticality of requiring courts to foresee …
