Telia Mary U. Williams, Northern Illinois University College of Law, has published Sola Scriptura and the Magisterium: Reconciling Two Biblical Analogues of Constitutional Interpretation Through a Judicial Hermeneutic of Storytelling. Here is the abstract. The validity of the two predominant methods of interpreting the U.S. Constitution has been long and hotly debated. Both of these methods— originalism and living constitutionalism—draw their force from hermeneutics, or methodological principles of interpretation that commonly assist readers of scriptural texts. These divergent constitutional hermeneutic approaches ultimately treat the Constitution as a civic scriptural or holy text, and the multiplicity of interpretations that result from them, largely derive from one of two principal scriptural or Biblical hermeneutical approaches. Indeed, the two principal approaches to constitutional interpretation map onto one of either “sola Scriptura” or…

  • smithblawg.blogspot.com language

You hear that outside? Those fireworks mean that we're already into July and the summer submission cycle is less than a month away!For those writing legal scholarship, it's time to start polishing, revising, or (if you thrive under pressure) writing. Law journals open for their summer submission cycle around the beginning of August (though some upstarts like the Yale Law Journal open earlier). Before long, the game of submissions, expedites, and email refreshing will begin.This post addresses the law review submission process--focusing on strategies, tips, and related debates over the best approach to securing a good placement. Unlike some of my earlier discussions of the law review submission process, I'll steer clear of whether it's good or bad (though I do think it can be less terrible with a bit of effort). Instead, this is written with the status quo in mind, and how authors can best play the game under the existing rules. All of this is based on…

167. NYC files amicus brief supporting student arrested following mandatory immigration hearing

New York City (NYC) filed an amicus brief in a federal habeas corpus proceeding on Tuesday, supporting a former high school student who was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after attending his mandatory immigration hearing in lower Manhattan. The city filed the brief in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York in support of Jose Luis, arguing that his June 2 arrest—despite his clean record and pending Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) application—reflects a broader pattern of ICE detaining immigrants who voluntarily attend legal proceedings. SIJ status is a US immigration benefit that provides a pathway to lawful permanent residency for foreign-born minors who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both of their parents, and who are under the jurisdiction of a juvenile court. The brief emphasized that immigrants comprise almost 40 percent of NYC’s population—over 3 million people—and are essential…

168. 7 Legal Pitfalls to Avoid When Buying Property in Fort Lauderdale

7 Legal Pitfalls to Avoid When Buying Property Buying property in Fort Lauderdale can be a profitable move—but without legal guidance, it can also be a minefield. A seasoned real estate attorney in Fort Lauderdale can help you avoid costly mistakes, delays, and disputes. Here are seven legal issues buyers must understand before signing a contract. 1. Failing to Review the Contract Thoroughly Florida real estate contracts are not one-size-fits-all. Many buyers rely on standard forms, unaware of hidden clauses or obligations. Michael Feinstein reviews every detail—purchase price adjustments, inspection periods, escrow terms—to ensure the agreement reflects your interests and avoids post-closing surprises. 2. Overlooking Title Defects or Liens Even luxury and waterfront properties can carry hidden legal baggage—unpaid taxes, HOA liens, or incorrect deed filings. Our legal team performs a full title examination and works to cure any defects before closing,…

169. [Ilya Somin] Trump vs. the Declaration of Independence

  • reason.com language

[Several of the items on the Declaration's list of grievances against King George III also apply to Donald Trump today.] The Declaration of Independence. (National Archives.)  Today is July 4, and we appropriately celebrate the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration is best known for its ringing affirmation of the rights to  "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." But it also contains a long list of grievances against King George III, by which the signers justified their decision to break from Britain. Sadly, many of these are relevant to Donald Trump's abuses of power today: "He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands." As I describe here, this wasn't just a matter of protecting the American colonies'…

Nike & The Shoe Surgeon Settle Trademark Lawsuit Over Custom Kicks Nike has settled its high-profile trademark lawsuit against custom sneaker company The Shoe Surgeon, ending a legal battle over allegations of unauthorized replicas and brand misuse. The settlement, filed June 19 in Manhattan federal court, grants a consent judgment in Nike’s favor on all seven of its claims, including trademark infringement, dilution, and unfair competition.

Nike originally filed the $60 million lawsuit in 2024, claiming the defendants made and sold unauthorized custom sneakers branded as Nike—some “built from scratch”—and taught others how to do the same. Nike argued these practices misled consumers by…

172. A Federal Judge Ruling Leaves Nursing Home Staffing Mandate Hanging on by a Thread

Last week, a federal judge struck down the costly and controversial provisions of the nursing home staffing mandate. Leaving it hanging by a thread, this is another significant blow to the staffing mandate affecting nursing homes, putting patient care at risk. The ruling that a registered nurse must be on duty for every hour of the day was eradicated by an Iowa US District Court. A similar case happened in Texas a few months ago, and this is becoming a more common ruling across the US. An ATI Advisor analyst shared their thoughts on the matter with McKnight’s LTC News. The managing director shared, “That’s not to say that [the Department of Health and Human Services] will necessarily discontinue its legal defense of the mandate. But it’s hard to see how the staffing mandate survives given these legal setbacks.” These constant changes in staffing mandates across nursing homes can lead to issues in the care provided to the residents. With the…

For the Balkinization symposium on Free Speech in Crisis and the Limits of the First Amendment. Amanda Shanor In the early days of the second Trump Administration, attacks on civil rights laws and initiatives with any egalitarian cast reached a fever pitch.  In his second day in office, President Trump signed an executive order condemning the diversity, equity, and inclusion practices of “major corporations, financial institutions, the medical industry, … and institutions of higher education,” among others.  It canceled a host of prior executive orders aimed at preventing discrimination or advancing inclusion, including in governmental hiring and contracting.  It ordered the Attorney General, with the Director of OMB, to identify “key sectors of concern” and identify, in each sector, “up to nine” publicly traded corporations, large non-profit corporations or associations,” foundations, bar and medical…
