A Litigator's Guide To The Internet Of Things, Antigone Peyton 2016 University of Richmond

A Litigator's Guide To The Internet Of Things, Antigone Peyton

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Maybe you've heard about the Internet of Things (loT). It's the network of physical objects (or "things") that connect to the Internet and each other and have the ability to collect and exchange data. It includes a variety of devices with sensors, vehicles, buildings, and other items that contain electronics, software, and sensors. Some loT objects have "embedded intelligence," which allows them to detect and react to changes in their physical state. Though there is no specific definition of loT, the concept focuses on how computers, sensors, and objects interact with each other and collect information relating to their surroundings.


Territoriality, Technology, And National Security, Zachary D. Clopton 2016 Cornell Law School

Territoriality, Technology, And National Security, Zachary D. Clopton

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Across various contexts, parties and courts have pressed for territorial rules in cases implicating technology and national security. This Essay suggests that presumptively territorial approaches to these questions are misguided. Territorial rules do not track the division of authority or capacity among the branches, nor are they effective proxies for the important interests of regulators or regulatees. On issues of technology and national security, territorial rules seem particularly ill suited: territorial rules aspire to certainty, but technology makes it harder to define “territoriality” in a consistent and predictable way; technology weakens territoriality as a proxy for policy goals because data …

For context: In 2015, electronic discovery was a $10.2 billion global industry. …

Expert Prevalence, Persuasion And Price: What Trial Participants Really Think About Experts, Andrew W. Jurs

Indiana Law Journal

Will Work For Free: The Legality Of Unpaid Internships, Nicole M. Klinger 2016 Brooklyn Law School

Will Work For Free: The Legality Of Unpaid Internships, Nicole M. Klinger

Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law

This Note addresses the current ambiguity in the law regarding if unpaid interns are employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The Note explores relevant case law throughout the circuit courts, but primarily focuses on the Second Circuit’s recent decision in Glatt v. Fox Searchlight Pictures. It argues that the primary benefits test created by the Second Circuit in Glatt does not adequately protect unpaid interns nor does it inform employers of the standards they need to meet in order to adopt legal unpaid internship programs. Instead, courts should adopt a clearer, more rigid test that finds an intern not …
