The Memorial of Professor Calvin W. Sharpe
No full textPlease join the Case Western Reserve University Law School community as we remember our dear colleague, Professor Calvin W. Sharpe. The Memorial will occur on Friday, April 4, 2025, at 5:00 pm in the Moot Court Room. Professor Sharpe was the Galen J. Roush Professor Emeritus of Law; before holding the Roush Chair, he was the John Deaver Drinko-BakerHostetler Professor of Law. He joined the CWRU Faculty of Law in 1984, where he taught Evidence, Trial Tactics, Alternative Dispute Resolution and courses in labor and employment law. While most professors have a single area of expertise, he published extensively in all four areas.
Professor Sharpe graduated with his BA from Clark University (1967), his JD from Northwestern (1974), and his M.A. from Chicago Theological Seminary (1996). He began his legal career as a clerk for U.S. District Judge Hubert L. Will (Northern District, Illinois). He then practiced law in Chicago, spent four years as a trial attorney with the National Labor Relations Board, and began his teaching career in Virginia.
Professor Sharpe also began the Dr. Maya Angelou & Professor Calvin Sharpe Interdisciplinary Lecture Endowment on Peaceful Conflict. That lecture is annually held on April 4th to commemorate the birth of Maya Angelou and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Please join us as we honor the life and legacy of Professor Sharpe with his family, friends, former students, and colleagues
Does the Dual-Use of Space Objects Necessitate a New Geneva Convention?
Full text linkWith “the first commercial space war” in Ukraine, the widespread and ever-increasing practice of using commercial space systems and services for military activities came to the public eye. States increasingly rely on and integrate commercial space activities1 into military activities to enhance their military capabilities and to strengthen deterrence. But by incorporating commercial actors into their military activities, States may incidentally make civil actors become military targets during an international armed conflict. Eventually, this may endanger commercial employees when those employees take direct part in hostilities and ultimately lose their protection as non-targeted civilians.
This Article examines the increased reliance of militaries around the world on commercial space assets by establishing if and under what criteria such dual-use systems can become lawful military targets as well as under what criteria commercial space operators could lose their protection under international humanitarian law. Eventually, this Article will demonstrate that the existing rules of international humanitarian law adequately address these dual use systems and their operators, rendering the call for a new Geneva Convention specifically for the space domain unnecessary.

No full textEvaluating Hospital Procedures for Authorizing Emergency Abortion with Nadia Sawicki
No full textEvaluating Hospital Procedures for Authorizing Emergency Abortion: All states that have banned or restricted abortion after the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u27s Health offer some exception for abortions that are medically necessary to save a patient’s life during an emergency. However, the internal procedures for reviewing and approving requests for emergency abortion vary dramatically from institution to institution. In some hospitals, the treating physician can make this judgment on their own; in others, an ethics committee must review the decision; in others, hospital counsel may impose limits on physicians’ authority to terminate pregnancy. Sawicki will offer insights as to how well each of these decision-making procedures balance patient safety, clinical standards of care, medical ethics and legal risk, with the goal of encouraging hospital attorneys and health care providers to thoughtfully select approaches that best meet their patients’ needs

White Paper on The Need to Strengthen International Humanitarian Law to Address the Challenges of 21 St Century Warfare
Full text linkOver the course of four meetings in September-October 2024, thirty leading experts in International Humanitarian Law discussed whether there is a need to strengthen IHL to address the challenges of 21 st century warfare, and how that could best be accomplished. The resulting White Paper identifies five substantive areas (space warfare, cyberwarfare, autonomous weapons, environmental warfare, and treatment of non-state actors during armed conflict) that the participating experts believed warrant clarification, new rules, or interpretations of existing rules found in the Geneva Conventions or other elements of IHL, through new treaties, soft law, and interpretative guidance
