California’s finances, always topsy-turvy, faced a dramatic reversal of fortune as surplus turned to deficit. Nonetheless, the state was able to weather the storm and avoid deep spending cuts, thanks to a combination of good economic times in years past and politically expedient decisions by the Governor and Legislature. However, delayed tax collections and projections for structural deficits, even absent a recession, meant storm clouds were on the horizon as the year drew to a close. The tough decisions that were sidestepped in 2023 might have to be made in 2024.", "language": "en", "license": null, "keywords": [ { "word": "California Politics" }, { "word": "budgeting" } ], "section": "Articles", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/76t2f4sh", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Brian", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "DiSarro", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Wesley", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Hussey", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "None" } ], "date_submitted": "2024-01-22T10:42:54-08:00", "date_accepted": "2024-01-22T10:42:54-08:00", "date_published": "2023-12-31T16:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cjpp/article/46951/galley/35493/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 21124, "title": "Housing Development Opportunity", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

However, lawyers are often complicit in ableist practices—in fact, our ethical rules sometimes require it. Rule 1.14 of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct (“Model Rules”) provides that lawyers may supplement their own judgment for a disabled client’s when they think it is in their client’s interest. In Britney Spears’s case, her former attorney repeatedly undermined her attempts to end her conservatorship, likely based on his mistaken belief that doing so would not be in the singer’s best interest. Indeed, her attorney did not even inform her that ending her conservatorship was an option.\nThis paper considers the ethical obligations of attorneys when interacting with disabled clients, arguing that the Model Rules should be altered to reflect the idea of “support-based” legal capacity embedded in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and becoming popularized within the disability community. Support-based models prioritize the expressed preferences of disabled people.\nSection II contextualizes this discussion within broader conversations about capacity and human rights law. Section III compares the Model Rules with the standards set out by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Section IV discusses the practical implications of these differences through two hypotheticals. This paper concludes by proposing a new Model Rule 1.14 to bring the Model Rules in line with international human rights law and the needs of the disability community.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Articles", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6mf0q9j8", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Heather", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Swadley", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": "2024-04-22T16:48:22-07:00", "date_accepted": "2024-04-22T16:48:22-07:00", "date_published": "2023-12-31T16:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ucladlj/article/57177/galley/43374/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 34810, "title": "How Our Stories Shape Our Work: Fighting for the Heart of Texas", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "My work has always been and will continue to be guided by my brother Robby’s life and influence on my understanding that the fight for civil rights and liberties is, at its core, a fight for human dignity.

Insofar as these villancicos functionally operate as sonifications of an imagined staging, they provide a coherent context for the appearance of elements alien with respect to the biblical narrative.

Naturally, finding drug rehabilitation is difficult with limited resources. Local hospitals flood with patients requiring care, but hospitals are typically at brimming capacity. Individuals with substance use disorder face a specific issue: they do not have direct access to thoroughly clean and sterile syringes. Substance use disorder is a multifaceted condition characterized by the persistent and uncontrollable consumption of a substance despite its adverse effects. Over the years, there has been a push to establish programs that provide clean syringes at no cost when a person exchanges their existing syringe for a clean one. Even so, these Service3 Exchange Programs (SEPs) frequently have a negative connotation and perception attached to them, with people believing that they cause more issues than solutions. In many counties where the establishment of these programs remains illegal, the widespread belief is that access to clean syringes incentivizes people to start using drugs. Many people believe that clean syringes intensify the substance abuse crisis in the Central Valley, not realizing that these programs play a crucial role in preventing disease spread.", "language": "en", "license": null, "keywords": [ { "word": "Intravenous Drug Users" }, { "word": "Syringes" }, { "word": "Central Valley Health" } ], "section": "Social Sciences", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/21n9q8jq", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Melvin", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Sanchez Mejia", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Merced", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": "2024-04-24T19:34:37-07:00", "date_accepted": "2024-04-24T19:34:37-07:00", "date_published": "2023-12-31T16:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ucm_mwp_ucmurj/article/65550/galley/50179/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 60855, "title": "Income-Graduated Fixed charges, Energy Justice, and the Clean Energy Transition", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Increasing electrification is key to solving climate change. However, the current system of electricity provisioning is not equal and disproportionately burdens low-income and minority households. To avoid intensifying this inequality, the growing number of incentives aimed at electrification must be coupled with significant structural changes to the electricity system. California’s Income-Graduated Fixed Charge (IGFC) is an example of this type of needed change. First introduced as a provision in Assembly Bill 205, it promises to alter the way consumers pay for electricity by adding an income-based, monthly fixed charge to electricity. It also promises to remedy California’s currently regressive rate design, to lower electricity bills for many customers—most significantly, low- and middle-income customers—and to lower the cost of electricity which would thus incentivize beneficial electrification. However, this uncomplicated portrayal of the IGFC belies the challenges this proposed rate reform has faced. Since AB 205’s passage, the IGFC has been the subject of misinformation campaigns, repeal efforts, and significant public outcry.\nThis Comment first introduces a framework of energy justice and a brief history of California’s electricity system and energy equity initiatives. This Comment then attempts to offer a cohesive narrative of the IGFC’s inception. It proceeds to follow the IGFC’s development through the California Public Utilities Commission’s Rulemaking procedure and explores the relevant stakeholders involved. This Comment challenges a dominant characterization of the IGFC as rushed, opaque, and unconstitutional, revealing instead that it was the product of years of deliberation, research, and democratic processes. Finally, this Comment attempts to make sense of the implementation concerns, myths, and misaligned actors, including the solar industry, that have surrounded the IGFC. Here, two competing visions of electricity provisioning emerge: one built on the idea of a shared grid and the other built around an individualist, consumer-centric view that prioritizes the conservation ethic over beneficial electrification. Identifying and understanding these conflicting visions will be helpful to understanding and resolving bigger obstacles to achieving a just and clean energy transition.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Student Comments", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/50p0750k", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Naomi", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Caldwell", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": "2024-10-21T10:56:24-07:00", "date_accepted": "2024-10-21T10:56:24-07:00", "date_published": "2023-12-31T16:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_jelp/article/60855/galley/46823/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 21122, "title": "Introduction", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Introduction to Critical Planning Journal Volume 27: Open.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Its irregularity negates its validity, which if cured would make this type of contract valid. The concept of \nbāṭil\n relates to a contract whose elements and characteristics are devoid of legality. This difference between \nfāsid\n and \nbāṭil\n results in a difference of effects. Each of these contracts are divided into different types.

Part III is a short history of the redress and reparations movement. Part IV explores why the two groups were interned during World War II and the differences in their reparations. Although Japanese American internment was justified as a kind of “security response” during the War, Unangax̂ internment was supposedly for their own protection.

Dispossessed of material goods, they used sound, language, and rituals to keep their culture alive. In time, the immaterial and symbolic goods they created penetrated the societies in which they lived, sometimes becoming mainstream through a whitening process that threatened to dispossess them once more of their symbolic wealth. By observing the art song that resulted from the collaboration of poets and composers of the African diaspora in Latin America, we will analyze how the use of melodic, rhythmic, idiomatic, and textual elements in music worked as a strategy to integrate, penetrate, maintain, and reproduce their cultures of origin as well as to participate in the avant-garde and international artistic conversations, becoming a tool for social mobility and a mechanism for gaining social and political rights.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Many of these individuals have complex and chronic physical and mental health conditions. The Bureau of Justice Statistics found that in 2016, forty percent of incarcerated people in state prisons reported having an active chronic health condition, forty-three percent had a history of mental health issues, and fourteen percent met the threshold for serious psychological distress. Nationally, a person with serious mental illness is three times more likely to be found in a jail or prison than a hospital. Upon reentry to their communities, many individuals are left unsupported in vulnerable positions, without health insurance or transitional medical care. The consequences for those with acute medical needs and mental health disorders—particularly those with substance use disorders—can be severe. Though countless policies, practices, and dynamics underlie this concerning status quo, this Article focuses on one in particular: the “Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy” (MIEP).\nThe MIEP prohibits the use of federal dollars to cover Medicaid expenses for incarcerated individuals. Scholars and legislators have argued that repealing the MIEP would improve the quality of health care provided during incarceration and continuity of care upon release. However,federal legislative efforts to repeal or amend the MIEP have failed. Recent state-based agency efforts, on the other hand, have had promising success. This Article surveys these various MIEP-related legislative and regulatory efforts and analyzes their potential to narrow the scope of the MIEP to improve quality of health care for incarcerated people and continuity of care upon reentry. Ultimately, this Article recommends leveraging state regulatory law to improve continuity of care as a potential stepping stone to repealing or amending the MIEP. This Article proceeds in four parts. Part I highlights the dismal state of correctional health care to provide context for incarcerated people’s health care needs during incarceration and upon release.

Specifically, the Latino/Hispanic immigrant population serves as a key case study, offering insights into immigrant experiences and contributing to a nuanced understanding of the broader immigrant population. Upon extensive research, the paper identifies three primary root factors: first, the underutilization of healthcare services due to anxieties related to immigrant status; second, a lack of substantial education and resources hindering accessible healthcare; and third, discriminatory practices in healthcare facilities targeted at immigrants. Characterizing such health disparity as a broader social inequality issue rather than mere isolated individual concerns, the paper asserts a need for effective interventions aimed at addressing the fundamental barriers to immigrant access to healthcare beyond immediate problem-solving.

The separation of families is wrong. Profiting off other people’s pain is wrong. Although this Comment discusses environmental law as an avenue of resistance, this Comment is part of a movement that asks for a complete reorganization and abolition of the United States’ current immigration system. Additionally, although this piece primarily highlights legal strategies, it is important to recognize the hard work of the advocates on the ground, who are protesting and taking direct action against detention centers and prisons. All the cases discussed below were the result of the combined labor of direct action and legal challenges. Failure to acknowledge these efforts would be unfair to the priceless work of organizers and activists.\nPart I discusses a variety of statutes and common law remedies that can delay the opening of new detention centers, close existing detention centers, or provide more information regarding detention center inadequacies, violations, and negligence. These statutes include the Freedom of Information Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, and environmental torts (negligence).

Porosity brought by Walter Benjamin and Asja Lacis (1925) in their writingon Naples, on the other hand, depicts urban cities with interpenetration and heterogeneity, resisting any fixedness. Starting from personal memories in Shenzhen, China, this essay proposes that the city can be seen as an urban space where opacity and porosity coexist and mingle with one another, which dissolves the dichotomous rural-urban configuration in cities. In this sense, Shenzhen is fused with tensions between two forces: capitalist modernization and standardizedlandscapes that alienate and homogenize lives andexperiences; and porous cultures and everydayness inthe urban villages that resist the former. Together withtheories of time-space compression and porosity, thepaper will then examine the urban villages in Shenzhenas porous spaces through the prisms of space, time,and body.

Although many social scientists, legal scholars, and judges accept that severe environmental deprivation can reduce culpability for criminal offending, sentencing outcomes in the federal system often fail to reflect this. This occurs because deprivation is not consistently recognized as a mitigating factor in non-capital cases.\nOver the past fifty years, scholars have mounted a sustained effort to develop a mitigating factor that recognizes environmental deprivation experienced by defendants. On the whole, these efforts have been unsuccessful at the federal level, and have failed to gain traction among courts or legislatures. Somewhat surprisingly, none of the voluminous scholarship looks beyond the United States. This is unfortunate.\nOver the past two decades, legislatures and courts in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have successfully developed the mitigating factor that scholars have long been seeking. Each of these jurisdictions has developed a regime for obtaining valuable information about a defendant’s background and presenting it to the sentencing judge. If the judge considers that the defendant’s experience of severe environmental deprivation reduced their culpability, their sentence will be reduced accordingly.\nThe experiences of these Commonwealth jurisdictions are instructive and may help pave the way toward judicial or legislative recognition of severe environmental deprivation as a mitigating factor in the United States. Observing it operating successfully overseas may provide legitimacy to this mitigating factor and also assuage concerns that it might open the floodgates or undermine the criminal justice system.\nWith reference to the experiences in these Commonwealth jurisdictions, this article proposes a framework for obtaining information about a defendant’s background and provides a legally defined standard for determining when a sentencing reduction will be appropriate.", "language": "en", "license": null, "keywords": [], "section": "Articles", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9sn0r8dg", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Oliver", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Frederickson", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": "2024-10-11T15:17:26-07:00", "date_accepted": "2024-10-11T15:17:26-07:00", "date_published": "2023-12-31T16:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_cjlr/article/59733/galley/45693/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 21125, "title": "Reframing Urban Agriculture: Open Land for the Public Good", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "This essay uses the lens of historical-structural analysis to examine how the history of municipal land use policies and urban agriculture in the U.S. informed the policy design of California’s Urban Agriculture Incentive Zones (“UAIZs”) and their resulting failure to increase land access and security for community food producers.

To simplify the exploration of the vast and intricate trade-off space of latency, accuracy, and cost in inference pipelines, providers frequently opt to consider one of them. However, the challenge lies in reconciling latency, accuracy, and cost trade-offs. To address this challenge and propose a solution to efficiently manage model variants in inference pipelines, we present IPA, an online deep learning Inference Pipeline Adaptation system that efficiently leverages model variants for each deep learning task. Model variants are different versions of pre-trained models for the same deep learning task with variations in resource requirements, latency, and accuracy. IPA dynamically configures batch size, replication, and model variants to optimize accuracy, minimize costs, and meet user-defined latency Service Level Agreements (SLAs) using Integer Programming. It supports multi-objective settings for achieving different trade-offs between accuracy and cost objectives while remaining adaptable to varying workloads and dynamic traffic patterns. Navigating a wider variety of configurations allows IPA to achieve better trade-offs between cost and accuracy objectives compared to existing methods. Extensive experiments in a Kubernetes implementation with five real-world inference pipelines demonstrate that IPA improves end-to-end accuracy by up to 21% with a minimal cost increase.

EPA", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "The Supreme Court’s 2007 decision in \nMassachusetts v. EPA\n marked the first time the Court had addressed the standing of states to sue the federal government in an environmental case. The Court’s holding that Massachusetts, New York, and the other petitioners had standing to sue the Environmental Protection Agency for climate change-related harms established important precedent for lawsuits brought by states against the federal government. In this article, we examine environmental litigation over the past seventeen years in which federalc ourts have considered the Massachusetts standing holding—and the Court’s instruction that states deserve “special solicitude” in the standing inquiry—in deciding whether states had demonstrated standing against the federal government. As was the case in Massachusetts, it is critical that states have the ability in our system of cooperative federalism to vindicate their rights (and the rights of their residents) in federal court. We discuss the different types of standing theories states have relied on to vindicate those rights, such as financial and quasi-sovereign injuries, and which ones have proven to be the most successful. We then highlight the recent effort to curb the well-established ability of states to use financial injury to establish standing against federal agencies, leading Justice Alito’s admonition that the Court not treat states with “special hostility.” We argue that states seeking to establish standing on financial injury grounds should not be held to a higher standard than other litigants in that showing, and we further discuss how states can rely more on quasi-sovereign interests in establishing standing in the event that standing based on financial injury is curtailed. In that vein, we revisit \nMassachusetts\n’s discussion of quasi-sovereign interests, and conclude that—consistent with the grand bargain of federalism and the fundamental notion of parens patriae (“parent of the country”)—a state should be able to sue the federal government where it is neglecting its duty under federal law to protect the health or welfare of the state’s residents. Finally, we consider how courts have interpreted \nMassachusetts\n’s instruction that states deserve special solicitude in the standing inquiry. Drawing on \nMassachusetts\n, we argue that, where states are suing the federal government to invoke the protections of federal law (including lawsuits brought by a state to protect the health and well-being of its residents), special solicitude is especially warranted.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Articles", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/42w5j565", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Michael", "middle_name": "J.", "last_name": "Myers", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Turner", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Smith", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": "2024-10-21T10:46:11-07:00", "date_accepted": "2024-10-21T10:46:11-07:00", "date_published": "2023-12-31T16:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_jelp/article/60854/galley/46822/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 34809, "title": "Still Too Few and Far Between: The Status of Latina Lawyers in the U.S.", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "This Report addresses a significant paradox within the U.S. legal profession: While Latinas represent 9.4 percent of the nation’s population, they only account for approximately 3 percent of attorneys, with even fewer in leadership roles across the legal profession.

The positive trend of more Latinas entering law school provides a beacon of hope for increased representation of Latina attorneys in the future. Despite this progress, disparities persist. Latinas encounter lower acceptance rates into top-ranked law schools, wage gaps, and remain significantly underrepresented in top legal roles in law firms, corporate law offices, the judiciary, and legal academia. These findings highlight the need for heightened commitment and systemic reforms to improve Latinas’ equitable access to legal education and opportunities for career advancement in the legal field. Recommendations include equitable admissions and hiring practices, tailored career and leadership development programs, transparent compensation systems and appointment processes, continued advocacy, and enhanced data reporting and research efforts to monitor progress and identify obstacles. Since its inception in 2008, the HNBA Latina Commission has played a crucial role in furthering the career and leadership development of Latina law students and lawyers.

However, few commentators have addressed a critical observation that this Article finds indispensable to a well-functioning narrative among students, student-athletes, and employees: not all athletic programs are the same. In fact, many of these programs are so different from one another that focusing on the “forest” of unionization might gravely ignore the “trees” that characterize these complex groups of institutions.\nIn response, this Article aims to facilitate a more complete discussion between students, student-athletes, and employees by highlighting one group of institutions whose barrier to student-athlete unionization is very different from those of other institutions: the Ivy League.

As the number of these assistance animals continues to grow, however, so does public suspicion about abuse of law and faking the need for such accommodations. Legislators have been directly reactive to this moral panic, and the majority of states have passed laws to combat the misrepresentation of pets as assistance animals. Consequently, people with disabilities who use service dogs feel the need to signal compliance to avoid harassment, questioning, or exclusion from spaces that do not allow pets. Taking an empirical law and psychology approach, this Article concerns itself with the possible sources of the phenomenon of misrepresentation, which I term “assistance-animal disability con.” The Article also discusses the stigmatizing consequences of the suspicion surrounding faking the need to use assistance animals for the disability community. The Article shows that 1) people with disabilities who use service dogs signal their protected status using extra-legal norms that did not originally appear in federal legislation. They use accessories that indicate legality such as vests and choose breeds of dogs that have traditionally been associated with service; 2) the public has been most trusting of these visible signs of compliance in the form of vests indicating the authenticity of a service dog; 3) in return, the legal system at the state level has adopted those extra-legal norms and translated them into black letter law through a reciprocal model of rulemaking; and 4) the psychological mechanism of “bounded ethicality”can explain people’s engagement with assistance-animal disability con. People who misrepresent their pets as assistance animals seem to not see their acts as unethical or illegal because the victims in the situation, peoplewith disabilities, remain unrecognized in these people’s eyes. Based on these original findings, this Article argues for legal reform and for the use of tools from the field of behavioral psychology to restore trust in the practice of employing assistance animals to support the needs of millions of Americans with disabilities.

And when it comes to sequencing justice and peace, justice must—at least as it pertains to Syria—be underway in some manner before a transitional peace process is implemented. In support of this theory, this Paper argues that a resurrection and fresh interpretation of UN General Assembly Resolution 377(V)—the Uniting for Peace Resolution—can best-serve as an avenue for international law to prevail over international politics. In light of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, this Paper builds off the momentum that has been gained in the debate over the balance of power in the United Nations (UN) between the Security Council and the General Assembly. Specifically, a contemporary analysis of the chemistry between the Uniting for Peace Resolution and the UN Charter has become increasingly relevant. Accordingly, a favorable interpretation of the Uniting for Peace Resolution could provide a constitutional opportunity for the General Assembly to establish a UN ad-hoc tribunal—a responsibility traditionally reserved for the Security Council—to prosecute high-powered perpetrators of atrocity crimes within the Assad regime. Not unmindful of the long-term political succession implications an international tribunal could have within Syria, this Paper nonetheless asserts that as a general matter, the UN Charter should be viewed as a “living tree”—a workable instrument whose interpretation may change over time to ensure it serves its object and purpose. With the ability of the Security Council to fulfill its statutory mandate under the highest levels of scrutiny by the international legal community, now is time to revive the Syrian accountability conversation.\nPart II begins with a general review of the Arab Spring and the motivation underlying the uprisings in the Middle East. This Part distinguishes the events and consequences of the uprisings Tunisia and Egypt from that of Syria. Part III briefly examines the Syrian civil war and provides a thorough review of the crimes committed by the Assad regime. Part IV includes an analysis of the jurisdictional options for accountability in Syria. In eliminating many of the traditional mechanisms, it is here that the stage is set for a subsequent interpretation of the UN Charter and the Uniting for Peace Resolution (the Resolution). Part V argues that the Resolution should be re-examined in the modern context as a possible means of mitigating bad-faith Security Council vetoes. This Part analyzes the Resolution in coordination with the UN Charter and argues that under a liberal interpretation of each, the General Assembly can lawfully serve as a substitute for roles typically reserved for the Security Council. It is also here, that the evidence collected and preserved by the International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism for Syria is discussed. Part VI considers drawbacks and practical challenges associated with the creation of an UN ad-hoc tribunal for crimes committed in Syria. Part VII concludes that while a liberal interpretation of the statutory language may be idealistic, such interpretation nonetheless could have lasting effects in shaping a currently broken system.

Instead of interdependence, trade liberalization, and market-orientation, rules and government decisions are increasingly directed to pursue goals such as reduction of dependence, resilience, autonomy, and even self-reliance. A geoeconomic logic is gradually replacing the liberal rationale that underpinned IEL for the past decades. Understanding where IEL might be headed requires an appraisal of this changing logic. This Article makes the following contributions to this effort. First, it proposes a conceptual framework centered around the notion of “geoeconomics,” which provides a coherent meaning to many developments that are transforming economic relations. The framework is unique in that it clearly outlines what is considered under the concept of geoeconomics, particularly by distinguishing it from other potentially misleading notions. This Article describes the assumptions that back the geoeconomic framework and show how they play out in practice. Thus, it sheds light on the factors driving many recent developments in the global economy which are difficult to explain from a liberal logic.

The current civil rights doctrine is ineffective in addressing this insidious racism, which is why I propose a doctrinal shift in disparate impact claims and use patient narratives to demonstrate the need for this shift. This new doctrinal framework assumes the existence of bias once a patient has identified disparate impact, shifting the burden to the defendant to prove this impact was not a result of discrimination. This change removes the need for plaintiffs to identify a specific discriminatory policy or practice and acknowledges the pervasiveness of racism and implicit bias in our society.\nWith these proposed changes, litigants will gain the ability to challenge their experiences of discrimination and provide for relief to empower patients and incite change in healthcare institutions to eliminate the harmful effects of bias.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Articles", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/22t8b9z8", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Evan", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Zepeda", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": "2025-02-12T15:50:59-08:00", "date_accepted": "2025-02-12T15:50:59-08:00", "date_published": "2023-12-31T16:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_nblj/article/57868/galley/44046/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 60856, "title": "The Fight Against Graphite: What Tribal Opposition to a Mine in Alaska Teaches Us about the Importance and Limitations of Consultation in the Green Transition", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Twelve years ago, a Canadian mining company started drilling for graphite in the Kigluaik Mountains. The Native Villages of Mary’s Igloo, Brevig Mission, and Teller were never notified of the start of exploration, despite their proximity to the proposed mine site and the significance of the Kigluaiks in their culture and creation story. Adding insult to injury, in July 2023, the Department of Defense (DoD) granted Graphite One $37.5 million dollars to expedite the feasibility study for this mine. To this day, the DoD has not consulted with the Tribes regarding the Graphite One mine.\nThe DoD wants to expedite the project because there is currently no domestic manufacturing of graphite in North America, and graphite is an essential ingredient for both renewable energy technologies and weapons manufacturing. While local Tribes oppose the mine, many Tribal members feel that mine development is inevitable, especially given that the Graphite One mine is on State land (and thus subject to fewer environmental and Tribal consultation requirements) and the project has the federal government’s blessing.\nThis Comment pushes back against that feeling of inevitability by identifying existing tools within federal environmental and federal Indian law that Tribes affected by mining projects can wield to mandate consultation and participation in mine-related decision-making. Using Tribal opposition to the Graphite One mine as an example, this Comment explores actions Tribes have already taken and further steps Tribes could take to protect their homelands and subsistence resources from mining projects.\nAs the Green Transition intensifies the need for minerals used in renewable energy technologies, Tribal consultation and participation in mine-related decision-making grows increasingly important. Without meaningful consultation with Tribes, the Green Transition will inevitably follow in the footsteps of the fossil fuel past it seeks to replace: extracting resources from Indigenous lands and threatening subsistence lifestyles.

As a solution, this Note suggests Congress should amend the IDEA to (1) remove the loopholes that have made prisons a purportedly appropriate setting for special education and (2) extend the IDEA’s child assessment and manifestation determination requirements to criminal and delinquency proceedings. This solution would ensure that no youth with disabilities are sent to prison where they cannot receive the mandated services they need, and instead ensure they receive these services in the least restrictive environment along a continuum of non-prison alternative placements. This solution also addresses the racial and ableist biases that have contributed to the over-representation of youth with disabilities, particularly Black youth with disabilities, in prisons.

Soon afterward, however, certain retroviruses evolved to infect these organisms soon becoming the most populous entity in the biosphere. For decades, researchers have delved into the various interactions between bacteria and bacteriophages due to their coevolutionary dynamics. Through this research, scientists eventually were able to discover a plethora of various mechanisms that bacteria have utilized to prevent bacteriophage infections, including but not limited to, receptor inactivation, modification, clustering, and CRISPR-Cas systems. Bacteriophages have developed superb countermeasures to these defenses over billions of years of coevolution. Scientists are trying to understand these coevolutionary dynamics to develop better potential antibiotic treatments using bacteriophages, as the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has become a critical issue in modern healthcare. The excessive utilization of antibiotics has accelerated the prevalence of resistant strains of bacteria, rendering conventional antibiotics ineffective against once-treatable infections. This phenomenon can dramatically reduce patient outcomes and pose a substantial challenge to public health systems. In response to this crisis, virologists are actively exploring alternative therapeutic strategies to combat antibiotic resistance. One such novel approach that is becoming increasingly more studied is bacteriophage therapy, which utilizes viruses that selectively target and kill specific pathogenic bacterial strains. By sparing beneficial bacteria and offering a safe solution, bacteriophage therapy presents a promising avenue for addressing the growing threat of antibiotic resistance.", "language": "en", "license": null, "keywords": [ { "word": "CRISPR-Cas Systems" }, { "word": "Antibiotic resistant" }, { "word": "Bacteria" } ], "section": "Natural Sciences", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3dw877tz", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Vikram", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Senthil", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Merced", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": "2024-04-26T17:15:46-07:00", "date_accepted": "2024-04-26T17:15:46-07:00", "date_published": "2023-12-31T16:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ucm_mwp_ucmurj/article/65554/galley/50183/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 65547, "title": "U.S. Urban and Rural Food Deserts: Health Variables Associated with Limited Food Access", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Food deserts are typically associated with limiting health variables, which can contribute to poor nutrition and result in negative medical conditions among residents.

Her essay, “Trip to Hanoi,” declares that “radical Americans profited from the war in Vietnam [which gave them] a clear-cut moral issue on which to mobilize discontent and expose the camouflaged contradictions in the system.” Once in Hanoi as a war witness, Sontag became disturbed by the mismatch between her intellectual position of solidarity with the Vietnamese revolution and her shocking inability to develop an emotional connection to the Vietnamese people themselves. Seeking to explain and resolve this gap, she focused inward. Her Hanoi essay leaves out precisely those details about the external world that other travel writers tried to emphasize. Sontag’s turn toward self-reflection in Vietnam comprised a subtle yet powerful alternative method of analyzing and interpreting US imperialism that served her well decades later when, in a special issue of \nThe\n \nNew Yorker\n, she denounced the Bush Administration’s war-mongering response to the 911 attacks on the World Trade Center.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Individually, these databases already serve as valuable resources as evidenced by the growing number of papers utilizing them. However, further benefits could result from merging or linking these data in ways that surpass their original intentions and ambitions. One avenue is the integration of ethnographic and historical data to help remedy the weaknesses of each (e.g., by addressing lacunae, imprecision, bias, subjectivity, and unreliability) and draw on their reciprocal strengths (e.g., by combining longitudinal depth and primary source material) of these different forms of evidence. The work presented here is a further step in that direction. This article shows how efforts to quantitatively examine historical variation in features of warfare benefit from combining ethnographic, historical, and archaeological data. It describes the general challenges faced by combining datasets (e.g. units of analyses, differing variables across datasets, sampling issues, etc.), how these challenges can be mitigated, and what further challenges remain to be addressed. The overall aim is to encourage further research into the benefits and challenges of integrating such datasets.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Despite advancements in modeling, certain transitions remain enigmatic, such as the early shift from hunter-gatherer to agriculture-dependent societies, marked by a substantial increase in effort. Another perplexity involves the coordination of agricultural activities into cities and civilizations, despite the larger overhead effort and loss of independence. The exploration of simplified models featuring aggregate, dynamic, and nonlinear processes holds the potential to uncover distinctive facets of each transition. The transitions under consideration span from hunter-gatherer societies to agricultural societies and then to early civilizations. Other analogies are suggested for further exploration for transitions to market systems, capitalism, industrialization, and sustainable societies, incorporating factors like land pressures, economies of scale, suppressed growth, and chain reactions.\n \n \n \nDiverse modeling approaches can be employed for these transitions. Initially, fundamental characteristics, such as the width and midpoint of transitions, are deduced by analyzing historical events influencing the transition. However, this approach offers limited insights into the dynamics or parameters of the transition. For a more comprehensive understanding, two historical transitions are examined using a simple phenomenological model. These simplified models do not aim to quantitatively address the intricate details of actual historical mechanisms; instead, they leverage analogies to natural systems to gain insights.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
