​In this episode of the Duke Law Podcast, Andrew Willinger, executive director of the Duke Center for Firearms Law, discusses 'United States v. Rahimi' – the first major Second Amendment case to be heard by the Court since its landmark ruling in 'New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen last summer' – leading up to the Supreme Court hearing oral argument on November 7.

The 'Rahimi' case has garnered national attention from gun rights advocates and Second Amendment scholars, as well as the general public, as it could potentially be the Court’s first opportunity to clarify certain aspects of its 'Bruen' test that have since divided lower-court judges. The Court’s decision in Rahimi may indicate how broad of an impact 'Bruen' will have in the years to come.

Professor Harold Hongju Koh of Yale Law School, the 2023 recipient of the Raphael Lemkin Rule of Law Guardian Medal from the Bolch Judicial Institute, was honored during a program (recorded here) at 12:30 p.m. EDT on Oct. 9, 2023 at Duke Law School. In addition to receiving the medal, Professor Koh spoke with Paul W. Grimm, director of the Bolch Judicial Institute and a retired federal judge, about his distinguished career defending human rights and promoting the rule of law.

ABOUT PROFESSOR KOH

Koh is internationally recognized as a leading expert in public and private international law, national security law, and human rights. He is a prolific writer and scholar whose career has spanned numerous positions in academia and public service, including service as Assistant Secretary for Human Rights in the Clinton administration, the 15th Dean of Yale Law School, legal adviser of the Department of State in the Obama administration, and the Sterling Professor of International Law at Yale Law, where he continues to teach and represent individuals who have suffered human rights abuses. He is currently among the lawyers representing Ukraine at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague asking the court to declare Russia in violation of three international treaties.

ABOUT THE LEMKIN MEDAL

The Lemkin Rule of Law Guardian Medal honors individuals who seek to advance and protect the rule of law in their everyday work. It is named for Raphael Lemkin, a one-time Duke Law faculty member and one of the leading 20th century scholars of human rights, and is awarded by the director of the Bolch Judicial Institute in consultation with the Institute’s leadership boards. Benjamin Ferencz, the last living Nuremberg Trial prosecutor, received the inaugural Lemkin Medal in 2020. Duke Law Professor Jim Coleman received the Lemkin Medal in 2022.

In its opening issue of Volume 73 (2023), Duke Law Journal published "Fact Stripping," written by Duke Law's own professors, Joseph Blocher and Brandon L. Garrett. In this interview, Judge Paul W. Grimm (ret.) of the Bolch Judicial Institute at Duke Law asks the authors about the concept of fact stripping and a current trend of appellate courts assuming fact-finding power over trial courts. The authors suggest Congress may want to reallocate factfinding power to trial courts through legislation.

Leticia Bohn, a visiting scholar from Brasil at Duke Law, shares the skills and knowledge she gained from her experience of being a scholar in the SILLC program.

The Institute is a preparatory course for foreign students, attorneys, and scholars seeking an introduction to U.S. law and legal education. It is especially useful for those who wish to prepare for attending law school in the United States in Master of Laws (LLM) programs. The Institute’s three-week intensive course introduces students to common law doctrines, U.S. legal writing, legal English, the U.S. legal system, and the U.S. law school experience.

While the majority of Institute students matriculate in the Duke Law or another LLM program, the program also welcomes law students and attorneys who want to improve their legal English while receiving an introduction to the U.S. legal system but who do not intend to immediately, if ever, enroll in an LLM program.

Novel Justice is a book event series sponsored by the Wilson Center for Science and Justice. We invite authors to discuss recently published criminal justice books and engage in Q&A with faculty and students. Christopher Slobogin is the Milton Underwood Professor of Law at Vanderbilt Law School and the director of Vanderbilt Law School’s Criminal Justice Program. His book, Virtual Searches: Regulating the Covert World of Technological Policing, develops a useful typology for sorting through the bewildering array of old, new, and soon-to-arrive policing techniques. It then lays out a framework for regulating their use that expands the Fourth Amendment’s privacy protections without blindly imposing its warrant requirement, and that prioritizes democratic over judicial policymaking. Join us for a conversation and Q&A with Slobogin about his work. Professor Brandon Garrett, Director of the Wilson Center, will moderate.

Our Data Privacy Day 2023 event, “Privacy in a Post-Dobbs Landscape: Health Data, Technology, Law & Policy,” will explore issues raised by the Supreme Court’s June 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health. In our first panel discussion, we will consider reproductive health data, the limited nature of HIPAA and the privacy implications of interoperability mandates; the increasingly important role played by telemedicine and medication abortion for privacy and reproductive health; and the rise of self-managed abortion, criminalization and the associated surveillance of women. Included are opening comments by Jolynn Dellinger (Duke Law) and David Hoffman (Duke Law). The panelists are Carly Zubrzycki (University of Connecticut), Rachel Rebouché (Dean of Temple University Beasley School of Law), Stephanie Pell (Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution).

This open coursebook is an introduction to intellectual property law, the set of private legal rights that allows individuals and corporations to control intangible creations and marks—from logos to novels to drug formulæ—and the exceptions and limitations that define those rights. It focuses on the three main forms of US federal intellectual property—trademark, copyright and patent—but many of the ideas discussed here apply far beyond those legal areas and far beyond the law of the United States. The book is intended to be a textbook for the basic Intellectual Property class, but because it is an open coursebook, which can be freely edited, copied and shared, it is also suitable for undergraduate classes, or for a business, library studies, communications or other graduate school class. A free downloadable version can be found at the Duke Center for the Study of the Public Domain website at: https://web.law.duke.edu/cspd/openip/

Moderated by Aya Fujimura-Fanselow, Clinical Professor of Law (Teaching) and Supervising Attorney, International Human Rights Clinic at Duke Law.
