"​The goal of CULR is to provide Columbia University and the public with opportunities for the discussion of law-related ideas and the publication of undergraduate legal scholarship."

"The First Amendment to the Constitution declares that “Congress shall make no law…prohibiting the free exercise…or abridging the freedom of speech”. [1] Although this clause generally protects regular citizens’ and everyday workers’ right to free speech, the rights of those employed by the government are more limited. There has been a long-standing tension between protecting First Amendment rights for public employees and the need for government employers to manage workplace disruptions. This struggle has been significantly evident in the courts as judges attempt to balance government interests with public employees’ civil rights. On one hand, officials recognize the necessity of a government workplace that refrains from conflicts. However, they also acknowledge the unique and essential role public employees play in serving as an unofficial check on the government, uncovering misconduct within the government, and redressing their grievances.

"According to EPA statistics, the U.S. vehicle sector produces enough emissions annually that, if it were a separate country, it would be the fifth-largest source of greenhouse gases in the world. [1] For nearly two decades, the EPA’s 2009 Endangerment Finding has served as the legal and scientific foundation for regulating these emissions through the Clean Air Act. However, under the second Trump Administration, the agency has recently reversed course, rescinding the Endangerment Finding, directly contradicting its own data, and allowing these emissions to continue unchecked. In light of this stark departure from the scientific consensus and past regulatory practice, this article will evaluate the merits of the legal reasoning the EPA used to rescind the Endangerment Finding. It argues that the EPA’s final rule raises serious questions about consistency with statutory text in the Clean Air Act, divergence from established legal precedent, and disregard for scientific evidence supporting greenhouse gas regulations. Moreover, if the EPA rule is brought to the Supreme Court, the rescission would likely face significant legal challenges, even against the current conservative-majority Court."

"In modern America, democracy can be drawn on a map. The universal right to vote means little if the power of that vote can be engineered away. [1] In Black Voters Matter Capacity Building Institute v. Byrd (2025), the Florida Supreme Court upheld a congressional map that eliminated a Black-performing district, effectively subordinating Florida's non-diminishment clause to the Equal Protections Clause. [1] While the Equal Protection Clause prohibits racial classifications without sufficient justification satisfying strict scrutiny, the Fair Districts Amendment imposes an obligation to protect minority voters’ ability to elect candidates of their choice. [2] By treating these two clauses as incompatible, the Florida Supreme Court has effectively turned a protective measure into a nullity."
