Dr. Kamshad Mohsin (Maharishi University of Information Technology - School of Law) has posted Emerging Technologies and Islamic Laws: A Comparative Analysis of Prominent Islamic Jurisdictions on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), biotechnology, and digital cybersecurity tools present profound ethical, legal, and societal challenges. This paper examines how Islamic laws (Sharia) respond to these technologies, drawing on principles like Maqasid al-Sharia (objectives of Islamic law) and usul al-fiqh (principles of jurisprudence). A comparative analysis is conducted across prominent Islamic jurisdictions, including Sunnimajority countries (e.g., Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Malaysia, Turkey) and Shiamajority ones (e.g., Iran), using doctrinal research methods supplemented by recent developments up to 2025. Key findings reveal convergences in ethical frameworks emphasizing human dignity (karama), justice (adl), and…

For decades, federal prosecutors have relied on elastic statutes to pursue novel schemes that Congress never spelled out. Proponents of this elasticity contend that policy-infused interpretations honor Congress’s larger purpose of policing sophisticated schemes, while textualists warn that such broad statutes erode fair notice, invite arbitrary enforcement, and transfer the power to define crime from Congress to prosecutors. The Roberts Court has absorbed those critiques: its brand of textualism treats expansive prosecutorial theories with increasing skepticism rather than as valuable tools, showing a broader judicial preference for textual restraint over interpretive flexibility. As a result, the Supreme Court’s pivot toward textualism has forced a fresh look at federal criminal law. Nowhere is this pivot toward textualism shown more clearly than in the Court’s recent public corruption docket: McDonnell (2016), Kelly (2020), Ciminelli and Percoco (2023),…

Gaurav Mukherjee (University of Connecticut - School of Law; New York University School of Law; University of Melbourne - Asian Law Centre) has posted The Right to Education: Reconciling Liberty & Equality (The Oxford Handbook on Economic and Social Rights (Katharine Young and Malcolm Langford eds., 2025)) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: The public-school classroom has long been a battleground for debates over fairness and freedom in education. Around the world, governments, parents, and schools disagree about who should control what students learn, how to balance religious and cultural beliefs with integrative aims of public education, and whether private schools should follow the same rules as public ones. At their core, these disputes reflect the question: should education policies prioritize equal access and inclusion, or should they allow greater flexibility for parental choice, religious freedom, and school autonomy? Globally, recent legal and policy developments…

From The Richmonder/Eleanor Shaw When Eleanor Shaw, a reporter for The Richmonder, reached out to chat about Morgan & Morgan’s expansion into Richmond, I didn’t hesitate. I’ve been analyzing their disruptive marketing tactics for years, and if you’re even remotely interested in legal advertising (and really, who isn’t?), Morgan & Morgan is the ultimate case study. Their multi-million-dollar ad blitz is impossible to ignore. Shaw’s article, “You can’t avoid Morgan & Morgan’s multi-million-dollar ad blitz. It’s shaking up Richmond’s legal scene,” offers a comprehensive look at the firm’s entrance into the Richmond market. It explores the ripple effects on local law firms and draws comparisons to how M&M has reshaped legal advertising landscapes in other cities across the country. Continue reading

The Texas Senate passed a redistricting map (S.B. No. 4) on Tuesday that has been at the center of national debate. Two Democrats remained in chambers, allowing the Senate vote to proceed and prevail 19-2. The bill’s passage does not enact the legislation; it must pass both chambers before presentment to Governor Greg Abbott, who has been vocal about the contention surrounding the bill’s plausible outcomes. The outcome could be an additional five Republican seats in the United States House of Representatives. Regarding the passage of S.B. No. 4, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick remarked: Today, the Texas Senate passed the new congressional map, including 5 new Republican majority districts. The Texas Senate will continue passing this map each legislative session to accurately reflect our state until House Democrats return from their ‘vacation’ and get back to work for the people of Texas. Governor Abbott also weighed in, “I will continue to call…

Custody battles often unfold in emotionally charged environments, but New York courts are not swayed by accusations alone. When one parent seeks to upend a longstanding custodial arrangement, they must present compelling evidence that a material change in circumstances has occurred and that transferring custody serves the child’s best interests. A recent New York decision illustrates the demanding threshold for modifying custody and reaffirms that courts prioritize a child’s emotional well-being, consistency, and stability above all else. If you are navigating a contested custody matter or seeking to enforce or modify a prior order, it is essential to consult with a knowledgeable New York family law attorney who can guide you through the process with clarity and strategic insight. Case Setting It is reported that the parties, who were formerly married, are the parents of one child born in 2010. The parties’ marriage was dissolved by judgment in 2018 pursuant…

A tragic single-vehicle accident claimed the life of a driver in the Town of Hopewell, Ontario County on Wednesday morning. The fatal crash occurred just after 7 a.m. on State Route 5 & 20, when the vehicle left the roadway and collided with a tree. Ontario County sheriff's deputies responded to the scene and found the driver deceased inside the vehicle. The driver was the sole occupant of the car at the time of the crash. While the investigation is ongoing, authorities have indicated that speed appears to have been a contributing factor in this devastating accident. The collision forced the closure of Route 5 & 20 between Freshour Road and Mumby Road for several hours before the roadway was reopened to traffic. This tragic incident serves as a sobering reminder of how quickly lives can be forever changed on our roadways. Common Causes of Single-Vehicle Car Accidents Single-vehicle accidents like this one can occur for numerous reasons, and understanding…
