iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

We spoke with the leaders of these initiatives—Vanita Gupta ’01, Bob Bauer, Samuel Issacharoff, Richard Pildes, and Amrit Singh—about their concerns and hopes: www.law.nyu.edu/news/magazin... Illustration by Alex Nabaum

While each has a different focus, they originated from a common concern: Around the world, democracy and the rule of law have been taking a drubbing.

The NYU Law Democracy Project is one of three new initiatives at NYU Law taking on issues of governance around the world, joined by the Center for Law and Public Trust and the Rule of Law Lab.

A year ago, an NYU Law center found the legal field's equivalent of true internet virality: an essay written for the NYU Democracy Project on the unitary executive theory was called a "bombshell" in the NYT & drew mention in party briefs & oral arguments for Trump v. Slaughter at the Supreme Court.

“We propose that state supreme courts amend their rules of professional conduct to impose a uniform ‘hold open’ date for offers until Oct. 1 of students’ 2L year for 2L summer positions.” @marklemley.bsky.social & I have an op-ed in Bloomberg on early recruiting news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

State Supreme Courts Can Resolve Early Legal Recruiting Mess

Opinion: Imposing a uniform "hold open" date for job offers to law students would likely put much-needed brakes on accelerated recruiting.

Should only entities seeking to maximize profit be subject to antitrust enforcement? No, argues Prof. Daniel Francis in a new paper calling for looking past the profit paradigm. ow.ly/A9xM50Y4UC6

"The surge of interest in antitrust over the last decade or so, and a chorus of calls to use antitrust enforcement in new or expanded ways, have brought antitrust policy into contact with a broader set of contexts and practices."
