Gender, Law and Detention Policy: Unexpected Effects on the Most Vulnerable Immigrants

25 Wis. J. Gender L. & Soc'y 301

Examining the flaws in the current model of impact advocacy used by in the context of U.S. immigration law and detention policy and arguing that in the context of unaccompanied alien child advocacy, additional progress requires moving toward an individualized approach to each child’s detention experience and opportunity for legal relief.

Distributed Governance

59 William & Mary L. Rev. Online 1

Distributed ledger technology enables disruption of traditional business organizations by introducing new business entities without the directors and officers of traditional corporate entities. Although these emerging entities offer intriguing possibilities, distributed entities may suffer significant collective action problems and expose investors to catastrophic regulatory and governance risks. Our essay examines key considerations for stakeholders and argues that distributed entities must be carefully structured to function effectively. This essay breaks new ground by critically examining distributed entities. We argue that a distributed model is most appropriate when DLT solves a unique corporate governance problem. We caution against ignoring the lessons painstakingly learned through past governance failures.

Moving Beyond Bitcoin to an Endogenous Theory of Decentralized Ledger Technology Regulation: An Initial Proposal

61 Villanova Law Review 191

Current regulation of decentralized ledger technology leaves industry actors in confusion, facing high risk, and confronting significant disincentives to innovate. This Article argues that an endogenous regulatory approach offers an avenue for alleviating these obstacles while still providing sufficient tools for government oversight. In particular, this Article proposes regulation that is endogenous at two levels: first, in that it is created through an iterative cooperative process involving both regulators and industry actors, and second, that it is implemented as regulation-through-code. In so doing, this Article also investigates whether successful implementation of such an approach could disrupt the dichotomous choice between ex ante and ex post regulation in financial and other spheres. Drawing on theories of endogenous economic regulation, endogenous development, comparative law’s functional method and financial regulation, this Article attempts to fill the current regulatory gap by proposing that decentralized technologies, including decentralized payment systems such as bitcoin, are robust enough to support a theory of endogenous, technology-assisted regulation.

Conceptualizing Cryptolaw

96 Neb. L. Rev. 601

Sweden transfers its real property recording system to the blockchain, a software protocol that enables public, cryptographically secure transaction verification without reliance upon a trusted third party. Dubai plans to issue blockchain-based government documents. The United States Department of Health and Human Services investigates blockchain-based systems for managing health data. Illinois explores blockchain-based applications for use in the Illinois government. News of governments and public-private partnerships developing blockchain-based legal applications increasingly splash across the headlines; however the law-makers using blockchain and other Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) systems to implement legal processes do not systematically consider the broader implications of their actions on the law. This is particularly problematic because the law itself will undergo a significant transformation after transferring such legal processes to blockchain and other DLT systems. Using comparative legal methodology, this Article reveals how moving legal and government process to DLT-based systems will change legal discourse about the fundamental elements of legal systems, including substantive law, legal structures, and legal culture.
