Get PDFA-I is a G-O
Get PDFMeet ROSS, a new junior associate. He can read over one million pages of law in a second. He knows every court in every federal circuit. He understands with ease legal research questions posed to him in plain language, and answers within seconds. He thrives on feedback from his supervisors to improve his accuracy and performance.

Procedural Justice in Transnational Contexts
Get PDFProcedural justice scholarship shows that perceptions of judicial fairness can strongly influence a court participant’s satisfaction with judicial outcomes, as well as the perceived legitimacy of the dispute resolution forum. What is largely unknown, however, is how procedural justice plays out in transnational contexts. Most previous studies focus on adjudication in domestic forums. Here, drawing on 622 semi-structured interviews with victims in cases before the International Criminal Court (ICC), we document how four core procedural justice principles–voice, neutrality, trust and respect–are interpreted differently in transnational rather than in national contexts. We also identify additional factors–including participants’ concerns over physical safety and lengthy judicial processes–that condition participants’ subjective evaluations of procedural fairness. These empirical findings force us to rethink the meaning of core principles of procedural justice in transnational settings and shed light on the subjective experiences of victim participants in international criminal proceedings

Mind the Gap: Supreme Court Contraction of Legal Discretion for the Executive Branch
Get PDFThe Supreme Court, for the first time, elevated economic calculation to function as the fulcrum leveraging and allocating law-making power between the branches of government.The federal agency regulation before the Supreme Court was estimated by the agency to impose approximately 4-5 million annually. This is approximately a 2,000:1 negative cost/direct benefit ratio, before counting indirect ‘co-benefits.’ There is now new pressure to “change the math” by which the agency performs the now-required cost consideration. Incidental ‘co-benefits,’ if allowed to be considered, change the result.This closely divided Supreme Court decision changes Chevron deference previously routinely afforded pursuant to this most-cited administrative decision in U.S. history. Every aspect of this new regulatory frontier is a matter of first impression for the Court
