Racial discrimination claims narrowed A federal judge has narrowed the racial discrimination claims brought against the Maryland Higher Education Commission by an advocacy group for the state's historically black colleges and universities and a group of students, which alleges the state has not adequately desegregated its public higher education system.

As employees under the NLRA, these athletes are entitled to form, join or a...

Increasingly, statutes rely on individuals to report misconduct, yet the incentives they provide to encourage such enforcement vary significantly. Despite the clear policy benefits that flow from understanding the factors that facilitate social enforcement, i.e., the act of individual reporting of illegal behavior, the field remains largely understudied. Using a series of experimental surveys of a representative panel of over 2,000 employees, this Article compares the effect of different regulatory mechanisms-monetary rewards, protective rights, positive obligations, and liabilities-on individual motivation and behavior. By exploring the interplay between internal and external enforcement motivation, these experiments pr...

To ensure that active military members are safeguarded from losing their homes, the Servicemember Civil Relief Act (SCRA) is in place.
