摘要:We are told we have entered a post-truth age characterized by alternative facts. This Article explores the potential for legal culture to serve as a resource for countering this troubling development in political culture.

Soft adjudication is in some ways similar to ordinary adjudication. Like courts, soft adjudicators pass judgment on an event; ...

This Article argues that the criminal law and tort regulatory systems will prove no match for the difficult regulatory puzzles algorithms pose. Algorithmic regulation will require federal uniformity, expert judgment, political independence, and pre-market review to prevent without stifling innovation the introduction of unacceptably dangerous al...

Treasury regulations are the most authoritative form of administrative guidance for the Internal Revenue Code (IRS). Yet over the years, commentators have noted an ever-expanding backlog of regulatory projects at the IRS. This Article contends that a bottle...
