Property and Information
No full textThe article proceeds as follows. As the information theory is a reaction to legal realism, Part I explores its antecedents in the work of Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld and Ronald H. Coase. Part II presents the information theory as arising from Professor Smith’s interpretation of the Coase theorem.11 In the imaginary world of TC0, we are supposedly indifferent to organizing by property and organizing by contract. Property eclipses contract as the organon of the economy because property reduces the cost of delineation and processing—of speaking and comprehending. We show that this theory is founded on a misunderstanding of Coase.
Part III sets forth the jurisdiction proper to an information theory of property. This part borrows a distinction invented by J.L. Austin—the difference between constative and performative speech. Professor Smith’s information theory of property is constative.12 That is, he posits O informing the “world” of a static underlying reality—O’s possessory right. But some speech does not report; it creates. To the extent speech creates a new reality, speech is performative. Performativity is out of bounds for Professor Smith’s information theory. As a result, an information theory does not capture an aspect of what is distinctive about property, which is empowerment of the owner against all others and the power to alienate
Putting Police Body-Worn Camera Footage to Work: A Civil Liberties Evaluation of Truleo’s AI Analytics Platform
No full textThis Article summarizes findings from a civil liberties evaluation of Truleo, an AI-powered analytics platform designed to automate the review of police body-worn camera (BWC) footage. It includes a summary of how Truleo’s platform works, policy choices made by the company, and our assessment of safeguards and risks of the platform from a civil liberties perspective. This Article also offers a series of recommendations for policymakers considering the adoption of Truleo or similar technologies. These include the necessity for independent testing of claimed benefits, democratic authorization for deployment, and ongoing transparency and public input around the platform’s design and operation. Importantly, this Article argues that BWC footage should be treated as “civic data” owned by the public, not the police, to enable wider access and use for purposes such as research, oversight, and the exploration of alternative public safety approaches. Generalizing beyond Truleo, we note that despite their cost, explosive growth, and the incredible amount of personal data they capture, BWCs are significantly underregulated by law, with many critical policy choices left to the law enforcement agencies that use the technology. As a result, the use of the technology has shifted away from its original impetus—to improve outcomes for members of the public interacting with the police and to provide transparency and accountability when things go wrong—and increasingly toward an investigative tool. But we view BWC as the largest collection of data on policing in existence, and one that has been woefully underutilized as a tool for evaluating and improving policing, thus leaving much of the value of our nation’s investment in BWCs untapped. AI technologies like Truleo can rebalance the scales by automating the review of this BWC footage, but we worry that Truleo’s full potential will never be achieved so long as police retain sole control of the data. Accordingly, we emphasize the need for proactive policymaking by legislators to ensure that emerging AI analytics technologies serve the public interest and help realize the benefits of the significant public investment in BWCs
The Doors of Janus: A Critical Analysis of the Socio-Technical Forces Eroding Trust in the Rule of Law
No full textThe Rule of Law is neither just a principle nor solely the institutions that embody that principle, a critical aspect of the Rule of Law is its grounding in trust which often gets neglected in the surrounding discourse. When the citizens\u27 trust in the Rule of Law weakens, the Rule of Law becomes fragile. In this article we examine the impact of emerging technologies on the citizens\u27 trust in the Rule of Law. Our analysis is specifcally focused on the effect of systemic disinformation which is likely to worsen with the advent of Generative AI, algorithmic misgovernance, and the digitalization of the social contract on the relationship between citizens and the Rule of Law. Through analysis of global techno-legal developments we demonstrate that new data-driven technologies are eroding the citizens\u27 trust in the rule of law by weakening the epistemic justifications of trust in the rule of law, belying expectations of good governance, and disrupting the temporal-spatial aspects of governance respectively. The issues raised in this article are both of contemporary relevance in view of the upcoming democratic elections across the world and also of long-term significance in view of the declining trust in public institutions. To understand why the Rule of Law has ceded governance space to the rule of code we need to acknowledge the mediating role played by law and technology in social interaction. To recover this lost governance space and restore trust in the Rule of Law, we develop aframework comprising better enforcement and the reinterpretation of existing rights and the formulation of new collective interest-based rights

Brief of \u3ci\u3eAmici Curiae\u3c/i\u3e 676 Law Professors in Support of Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment and for Declaratory and Permanent Injunctive Relief
No full textAmici 676 law professors submit this brief in support of Plaintiff Jenner & Block’s Motion for Summary Judgment and for Declaratory and Permanent Injunctive Relief (the “Motion”) to emphasize the threat that the President’s Executive Order (the “Order”) presents to the independence and integrity of the legal profession, the rights of clients to seek redress in the courts, and, by extension, the rule of law. As experts in constitutional law, legal ethics, and the history of the legal profession, among other fields, we have a significant interest in ensuring that the principles of free speech, freedom of association, the right to petition the government, and the right to counsel are upheld. As educators, amici have an interest in fostering the next generation of attorneys, and in preparing them to zealously represent clients and causes without fear of reprisal. Many of the amici also recently filed a similar brief in Perkins Coie LLP v. U.S. Department of Justice, et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-00716 (D.D.C.). Jenner and Block has consented to the filing of this brief and the Government has indicated it does not object to its filing
