Food For Thought: A Whole Systems Approach To Nutrition Literacy and Environmental Stewardship in 21st Century School Systems
No full textIn the United States, children living in under resourced communities are at risk of experiencing adverse health and developmental outcomes due to a lack of proper nutrition. Despite the abundant food availability in the U.S., recent evidence suggests that many households with children younger than 18 suffer from food inaccessibility and hunger. With the recent introduction of farm to school programs, early intervention food and nutrition education has had a positive impact on the connection and relationship children have with their food and the environment. This thesis investigates the nutritional issues facing children today and the role design can play to encourage food literacy in 21st century school systems in a way that is both accessible and equitable

Deal Me In: Leveraging Pedagogy to Integrate Transactional Skills into the First Year Legal Research and Writing Curriculum
Get PDFWhen nearly fifty percent of attorneys practice transactional law, why do only seven percent of first year legal research and writing courses teach transactional skills? Despite a decade of emphasis by legal scholars on the need to teach transactional skills, most first year legal research and writing courses still focus disproportionately on litigation-based instruction. When more incoming law students want to practice transactional law than litigation, half go on to hold transactional-based jobs, transactional drafting courses are the most popular legal writing electives, and employers say graduates are unprepared for transactional practice, something needs to change. A path forward for transactional skill instruction begins here. This Article describes the need to teach transactional skills, analyzes data behind how law schools are falling short, explores pedagogical techniques for transactional instruction, and provides examples of transactional assignments that can be implemented (in face-to-face and online formats) without rewriting the course syllabus
Null Climate Federalism: State Frustration of Federal Renewable Energy Entitlements
Get PDFArresting rapid climate change is considered one of the most challenging issues of this century. To do so successfully, the U.S. must rapidly convert its electric power sector to operate on renewable energy. The Biden Administration pledged that the U.S. will have only clean/renewable electricity by 2035 – in these next 13 years U.S. federal tax incentives for renewable energy are scheduled to be substantially diminished or eliminated. Notwithstanding, there is one fundamental federal entitlement of rights for renewable power development./= / \u3e/= / \u3eThe Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act (“PURPA”) statute was enacted by President Carter as the U.S. response to an energy crisis which was characterized by the President as “the Moral Equivalent of War.” Recently, three otherwise pro-sustainable-energy states did not adhere to required PURPA federal entitlements which promote renewable energy projects. Three different federal circuit courts issued recent decisions regarding these violations and injuries to a solar energy developer. However, these three circuits diverged as to whether a sustainable energy developer has standing to address its injury or a private right of legal action under the nation’s foundational sustainable energy statute that was twice before upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court:/= / \u3e/= / \u3e· the Second Circuit on procedural grounds dismissed all of plaintiff’s claims./= / \u3e/= / \u3e· the First Circuit pursuant to the same statute found standing of, injury to, and entitlement of, the same injured solar plaintiff involved in the 2nd Circuit case above, but denied a private right of action for plaintiff to redress its injury./= / \u3e/= / \u3e· the Ninth Circuit for the same plaintiff involved in the First and Second Circuit matters above, and pursuant to the same statute, found impermissible state conduct but no private right of action for the plaintiff to proceed to the merits of its claims for damages./= / \u3e/= / \u3eThese circuits found injury from the state failing to follow federal PURPA (or there was a later admission), however the injured solar energy party who prevailed and incurred legal costs was denied any legal relief. There is déjà vu: This article catalogues that these states involved were ordered by prior federal and state courts and the federal regulatory agency that they previously were not legally adhering to PURPA requirements./= / \u3e/= / \u3eThis article analyzes each of these recent federal court decisions and places these in context of prior decisions involving these states not following the same federal PURPA sustainability statute. This article contrasts each of these recent decisions with applicable Supreme Court and federal precedent requiring states to follow U.S. renewable energy law. This article analyzes the remedy gap created by these three recent circuit court decisions where injury is found regarding state violations of the foundational U.S. sustainability law and notwithstanding this, no relief is provided for the plaintiff. This will impact the U.S. roll-out of a future with sustainable electric power
