The Call for FAA Regulation Change: Why Individuals with ADHD and ADHD Medication Prescriptions Should Be Permitted to Become Pilots
Get PDFThis paper delves into the pressing need for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to reconsider its regulations concerning individuals with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and those prescribed ADHD medications who aspire to become pilots. The current FAA regulations exhibit a rigid and outdated understanding of ADHD and its treatment, leading to the exclusion of a growing number of individuals from the aviation industry. Through an analysis of studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy of ADHD medications in improving driving performance and reducing accident risks, this paper advocates for a shift in the FAA\u27s stance. Societal factors, such as the increasing prevalence of ADHD diagnoses and the need for inclusivity in aviation, further underscore the necessity for regulatory change. By reevaluating its policies and aligning them with current scientific evidence and societal needs, the FAA can promote diversity and enhance safety within the pilot community.

The Reckless Tolerance of Unsafe Autonomous Vehicle Testing: Uber\u27s Culpability for the Criminal Offense of Negligent Homicide
Get PDFWhen Elaine Herzberg was struck and killed by an Uber autonomous vehicle on a public road in Arizona in 2018, sole criminal responsibility fell on the Uber employee operating the vehicle. Uber escaped all criminal accountability despite evidence of flawed vehicle technology and Uber’s non-existent safety culture. This lack of accountability is confronting given that legislators and courts in Arizona, and in other States, have consistently supported criminal sanctions for corporations who are culpable for the offense of negligent homicide.
The criminal proceedings against the Uber vehicle operator were settled in July 2023, closing off the court’s ability to consider Uber’s contribution to the death of Herzberg. This paper provides an alternative forum to demonstrate, through doctrinal analysis, that Uber should have been prosecuted for negligent homicide. The accelerating divergence between the law and actual corporate prosecutions due to innovative technologies and Big Tech is also considered

Delaware Beware
Get PDFThis article conducts an in-depth exploration of the dynamic competition among states to attract businesses and determine the legal framework governing corporations. It adopts an innovative market-centric viewpoint, treating corporate law as a product within the broader context of charter competition among U.S. states. While the scholarly spotlight has predominantly shone on publicly traded giants, this article daringly delves into uncharted territory, unraveling the intricate incorporation and governance decisions of privately held “unicorns”—those elusive venture capital-backed behemoths that silently shape the economic landscape.
By unraveling the decision-making processes of where these economic powerhouses incorporate, the article challenges prevailing assumptions on horizontal and vertical competitive federalism, introducing the concept of “long-term private giant” companies. This distinctive perspective provides insights into the relocation options and incorporation choices of both large private and public firms, illuminating how these entities navigate and influence the intricate landscape of organizational structure and governance choices within the corporate domain
