Emily S. Taylor Poppe (UC-Irvine; Google Scholar), Law Jobs: Professional Regulation, the Division of Legal Labor, and Institutional Change, 93 Fordham L. Rev. 1217 (2025):

Over the past century, changing economic conditions, technological advances, and shifts in the composition of the American workforce have transformed the organization of many fields. Meanwhile, the legal field has remained stubbornly unchanged. Although multiple forces underlie this stasis, the extensive regulation of the legal industry is an important factor. For example, prohibitions on the unauthorized practice of law paired with a broad definition of “legal advice” have helped to maintain the role of lawyers as the dominant source of legal services. Likewise, limitations on lawyers’ ability to share fees or enter into business with nonlawyers have hindered outside investment and further entrenched a business model centered on the legal profession.

However, this situation may be changing. Antitrust concerns threaten to unsettle the role of the organized bar and state supreme courts in regulating the legal profession. Regulatory barriers to alternative legal service delivery models have fallen in the face of First Amendment challenges. Legal technology companies openly threaten to flout the boundaries of permissible practice. And, in a dramatic departure from historical practice, states are experimenting with regulatory schemes that allow alternative business models and the provision of legal advice by people and things other than lawyers. This includes the adoption of a regulatory sandbox in Utah and Arizona’s abrogation of restrictions on fee-sharing, as well as the legal paraprofessional and lay legal service provider roles that have been created in several states.

Julian Velasco (Notre Dame), Shortcomings of Law School and Big Law, 93 Fordham L. Rev. 1279 (2025):

The present Colloquium, on Lawyers and Their Institutions, seeks to consider how various legal institutions shape lawyers’ professional norms, values, and conduct. In this Essay, I will consider the two legal institutions with which I have been most involved, law school and “big law”—more specifically, transaction practice at an elite law firm. I will argue that these institutions exert a problematic influence on developing attorneys by inculcating opposing types of disrespect for the law.

Consider first law schools.

It is my contention that the process of legal education tends to suggest that the law is fundamentally indeterminate. Law school gives the impression that the law is more uncertain and malleable than it is, and it exaggerates the role of litigators in effecting change in the law. Compare that with transaction practice at elite law firms. I argue that big law tends to suggest to junior associates that the law is largely irrelevant, leading them to feel more like middle management in business than lawyers. These influences push novice attorneys away from the reality that the law is fairly stable—reasonably clear, but not unchangeable.

Why does this matter? Because of accuracy. A misunderstanding about the nature of law is likely to result in a misconception of the purpose of lawyering and give a false impression of a lawyer’s power. This is likely to make lawyers less helpful to their clients than they otherwise could be. Only with a proper appreciation of legal realities can lawyers optimize their representation of clients’ interests.

To be clear, I am not arguing that law school and big law are fundamentally flawed or that the main influences that they exert on novice attorneys are negative. To the contrary, I am convinced that both institutions are important and provide tremendous value to both attorneys and society generally. I am merely highlighting certain negative influences that ought not to be ignored.

In Part I, with respect to law schools, I argue that the very tools that are used to train attorneys tend to suggest that the law is indeterminate. In Part II, with respect to transaction practice at elite law firms, I argue that the nature of the work given to junior associates makes it difficult for them to appreciate the big legal picture. In Part III, I suggest that all that can be done is mitigation and that the institutions are already engaged in mitigation efforts. Nevertheless, a greater acknowledgment of the issues and more conscious mitigation efforts are appropriate.

Omri Y. Marian (UC-Irvine; Google Scholar), Not ‘Super Tax Havens’ After All, 54 Intertax __ (2026):

When crypto-assets were first introduced, tax experts worried that they might become “super tax havens”. With over a decade and a half of hindsight, this article questions whether this tax-enforcement doomsday scenario has materialized or may yet materialize. The article’s conclusion is that the answer is “no.” To be sure, crypto-assets are an instrument of tax evasion, but they are not better (and maybe even worse) at facilitating tax evasion than traditional tools such as cash, or secrecy jurisdictions. With some adjustments, traditional, time-tested mechanisms of tax enforcement can address tax evasion with cryptocurrencies at least as effectively as addressing any other form of tax evasion. The reason for this is rather simple: contrary to initial hopes (or warnings, depending on one’s perspective), the crypto-assets markets are not disintermediated, not decentralized, and not anonymous, and they are unlikely to become any of those things.

If governments chose not to enforce tax laws in the context of crypto-assets, this would be a policy choice, not an inevitability attributable to the nature of blockchain technology.

Skyler E. Dykes (J.D. 2025, Washington University), Note, Taxing Cultural Endowments, 102 Wash. U. L. Rev. 1299 (2025):

Scholars and politicians have long recognized that the charitable sector is not a monolith. And yet, America’s cultural industry, a significant portion of our charitable sector, has received little attention in tax policy scholarship. This Note takes the first step in filling this scholarly lacuna. It argues that cultural endowment growth produces negative externalities that can and should be mitigated through measured taxation reform. It contends that endowment taxation reform should focus on encouraging institutions to divert funds toward their charitable missions and influencing philanthropic behavior so as to ensure more equitable distribution of charitable dollars. And finally, it argues for subsector-specific taxable bases as a means of equitably curbing wealth accumulation across America’s charitable sector

As tax policy scholarship continues to cast a critical eye toward personal and corporate wealth accumulation in America, scholars should consider how wealth inequality impacts creativity and cultural production. Cultural activity in America matters. It fosters a sense of community, preserves historical traditions, stimulates innovation, and inspires social change. But as this Note demonstrates, our current tax laws have contributed to a system that benefits elite artistic institutions, while harming others and straining pluralism. Tax policy reform is necessary to redress these harms and to cultivate a diverse, equitable, and vibrant creative economy.

Skyler Ligon (J.D. 2025, Washington University), Note, Giving Credit When You Are Due: Tax Credits for Birth Mothers Post-Dobbs, 102 Wash. U. L. Rev. 923 (2025):

The Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision has resulted in drastic consequences for women who become pregnant. Pregnant women living in states that have restricted access to abortion—and who cannot afford to travel out of state for an abortion—are now forced to carry the child to term, no matter the financial, physical, and psychological costs that ensue from giving birth to a child. Numerous pro-life advocates have suggested that women who are not ready or do not wish to be a parent can simply give the child up for adoption—essentially equating abortion to adoption; however, the women who place children for adoption are not provided adequate support to offset the risks and costs associated with their essentially compelled pregnancies.

Accordingly, this Note recommends that states that have restricted access to abortions should enact the Birth Mother Tax Credit. By doing so, the state will acknowledge that birth mothers endure the same pregnancy-related costs as women who do not put their child up for adoption, and thus should be eligible to receive the same amount of financial assistance. Finally, providing support to birth mothers with the Birth Mother Tax Credit can, in turn, boost the state’s economy and improve the health of both the birth mother and the child.

Bloomberg Law, US Trial Judges Bring Originalism Classes to Texas Law Schools:

Sitting in a seminar room at a Dallas law school, a federal judge asked a roundtable of law students, “What can you do to keep the republic?”

It was the last class of the semester for the course “Originalism & the Origins of the Federal Constitution,” which focuses on what the document’s drafters intended when it was written. US District Judges Brantley Starr and Mark Pittman are among the judges who teach a version of the course at Texas law schools.

Starr and Pittman were ending the semester at Southern Methodist University’s Dedman School of Law with a discussion about the Prohibition amendments, before moving on to the role of federal judges. To close the class, Starr referenced Benjamin Franklin’s famous line after the closing of the Constitutional Convention—that the US is “a republic, if you can keep it.”

The class aims to teach on the sources of concepts included in the Constitution. It comes as judges like Starr and Pittman embrace the judicial theory of originalism, or the idea that laws should be interpreted as they were originally understood at the time of the nation’s founding.

Starr said in an interview that, as more members of the Supreme Court have said they’re originalists or textualists—using the plain meaning of the words within a statute in order to interpret the law—it’s important for future lawyers to learn how to do that.

Starr said if justices like Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson publicly say they use originalist or textualist interpretations, “then it’s probably malpractice to not look at what seven, eight, or nine votes on the Supreme Court are looking at.” …

Starr and Pittman are Donald Trump appointees to the Northern District of Texas. Starr said that while Republican appointees are teaching the course now, he hopes judges appointed by presidents of any party will do so in the future.

The class was created by US District Judge Charles Eskridge, another Trump appointee who sits in Houston. Eskridge said he came up with the idea for the course in 2008, when Justice Clarence Thomas said that he wished there had been a class on the history of the formation of the Constitution when he was in law school. …

Eskridge and Starr have taught the class together at the University of Texas at Austin. That teed up Starr to teach in the future, and he asked Pittman, based out of Fort Worth, to do it with him. They co-lead the class at SMU and Texas A&M School of Law.
