Volume 72, Issue 2

Read Jessica A. Roth's article, up on ASAL's website! Professor Roth analyzes the traditional “decisional” activities of an Article III judge and compares this to a “new” judicial activism adopted by certain federal district judges. These judges advocate for criminal justice reform across various platforms, such as journal articles, speeches, and opinion dicta. This paper explores the history of this activism and evaluates its current role in the judiciary, weighing both its potential benefits and possible risks.

Section 1115 Waivers: Success for Medicaid in Michigan and Indiana

Happy Friday everyone! For an interesting and informative read, check out the latest ASAL Forum Essay by ASAL's own, Katie Haines! http://bit.ly/2C2jpfo

J.D. Candidate (2018) Kathryn Haines examines Michigan's and Indiana's employment of Section 1115 waivers to implement new models of Medicaid expansion.

Check out Professor Lubben's "Sovereign Bankruptcy Hydraulics," a new essay up on ASAL Forum! http://bit.ly/2EErbu5

Professor Lubben observes that governmental entities with full sovereign immunity have no need for a bankruptcy process due to the protections inherent in their status. In so doing, he rejects Professor Skeel’s recommendation for a bankruptcy system for American states, doubts the IMF’s proposals, but ultimately upholds the idea of a municipal bankruptcy regime.
