Ai Suffrage For Human Flourishing, Simon Goldstein, Guha Krishnamurthi, Peter N. Salib

Fordham Law Review

Should Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have the vote? One approach to this question is to explore AI systems’ moral characteristics, asking whether they possess the qualities that entitle humans to equal political standing and, consequently, suffrage. Those are important questions. But they are very hard ones, resting on highly contestable premises about ethics, AI, and humanity.

We instead take a functionalist approach: On the current trajectory, AIs will soon be highly agentic and capable, while remaining difficult to align with human objectives. If so, law will be an essential tool for shaping such systems’ behavior to favor positive-sum cooperation with …

Clickwrap Accountability, Alicia Solow-Niederman

Fordham Law Review

Picture a public‑facing generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot on a government website that can answer questions about benefits eligibility. Systems like these expose a sociotechnical-legal divide: They route around the standard due process framework because there has been no formal government determination, yet they induce reliance from users, above and beyond past rounds of automated legal guidance. Moreover, if there is an error, current doctrine on government errors and equitable estoppel makes relief unlikely.

This Essay focuses on government deployment of public‑facing generative AI chatbots and critically assesses the front‑end power dynamics that determine who is filtered out of government …

Controlling Shareholder Primacy, Naveen Thomas

Fordham Law Review

In just eight months, Delaware’s legislature upended over fifty years of corporate law. Its courts had long upheld shareholder primacy, treating shareholders equally in proportion to their ownership. But after several controversial decisions reinforced this principle, sudden amendments to the corporate code shifted the law toward a distinct paradigm: controller primacy.

While motivated by legitimate concerns, the legislation went too far, threatening to fundamentally realign corporate power and purpose. Contrary to shareholder primacy, the new regime disproportionately prioritizes controlling shareholders above all others. It authorizes contracts that cede the board’s managerial authority to controllers, insulates their self-dealing from shareholder approval …

Crossing The Toll Bridge: American Pipe And The Fate Of State Law Claims After Class Certification Denial In Federal Court, Alexander Schnur

Fordham Law Review

Rule 23(c)(1)(A) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) provides that, “At an early practicable time after a person sues . . . as a class representative, the court must determine by order whether to certify the action as a class action.” In American Pipe & Construction Co. v. Utah, the U.S. Supreme Court addressed the interplay of this FRCP 23(c)(1)(A) class certification decision and statutes of limitations, holding that the commencement of a putative class action suspends the statute of limitations for putative class members while class certification is pending. Over the last fifty years, the American …

Platform Gatekeeping In The Building-Materials Sector: Competition Law And The Pace Of Low-Carbon Construction, Andy Fitch, Cynthia Hanawalt

Sabin Center for Climate Change Law

Climate advocates often highlight the transformative potential of emergent products, while noting on the margins potential impediments due to technological constraints, higher costs, or fixed consumer preferences. By contrast, this paper foregrounds threats to clean-tech innovation posed by emergent forms of market consolidation. It probes recent developments in the building-materials sector, where numerous technologies show significant emissions-reduction potential, but would need to clear looming market bottlenecks before scaling up as viable green alternatives. The paper shows that while such bottlenecks can occur at various stages of the building-sector supply chain (manufacturing, distribution, and/or installation), today’s most acute competition concerns come …

Rethinking Remittitur In Texas Law, David M. Gunn

Texas A&M Law Review

The Texas appellate rules say next to nothing about remittitur. About as far as they go is to state in Rule 46.3 that a court of appeals “may suggest a remittitur.” The text and history of this provision might raise more questions than they answer. Nineteenth-century courts across the country began resorting to remittitur, but they spent little time explaining remittitur’s origins. Texas courts followed a similar path, until an 1893 statute expressly told the courts what to do in instances of excessive damages: they had a “duty” to “indicate” to the damage claimant the amount of the excess, with …

The Price Of Texas Values: Texas S.B. 22 And Content-Based Film Incentives, Juliana (Ani) Tookoian

Texas A&M Law Review

In 2025, the Texas Legislature enacted Senate Bill 22, committing $1.5 billion to expand the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program and attract film and television production to the state. While the law aims to stimulate economic growth and job creation, it conditions eligibility for financial incentives on vague and subjective standards requiring productions to avoid portraying Texas negatively and to promote “Texas values.” This Comment argues that these content-based restrictions undermine the program’s economic objectives and raise significant First Amendment concerns. By granting state officials broad discretion to evaluate expressive content, the statute risks viewpoint discrimination and the chilling …

Mass Resettlement Politics And The Future Of Hyper-Local Climate Migration Strategies, Sarah Rogerson

Pace Environmental Law Review

Climate change is requiring state and local governments to engage in short- and long-term strategic thinking and municipal planning. Critically, the movement of people from communities that have become uninhabitable due to climate change to other communities in more resilient areas (sometimes called “climate havens”) is a reality that most municipalities in the United States are not currently well-equipped to address. Experts predict as many as 1.2 billion climate-related migrants worldwide by 2050, with at least 93 million Americans expected to relocate to more habitable places by 2070. To put this into perspective, 93 million people is just under the …
