The Chapman Law Review is delighted to announce th $The Chapman Law Review is delighted to announce that Issue 1 of Volume 28 is now live on our website! This issue features contributions from Catherine Jean Archibald, Nir Fishbien, Maureen Johnson, and Michelle Norris, as well as student writer Lilia Alameida. The articles explore a diverse range of legal topics: the unconstitutionality of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law under the First and Fourteenth Amendments; reforming tax expenditures to promote equity in the U.S. tax system; balancing gun rights and public safety in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Garland v. Cargill; and the need for an international data transfer framework to address global privacy risks. In her note, J.D. candidate Lilia Alameida examines the environmental dangers of fracking in California, emphasizing how Big Oil’s political influence obstructs meaningful climate action and regulatory oversight. Throughout the week, we will be highlighting each article within this issue, so stay tuned for deeper dives into these important topics! This is the first of three issues in Volume 28. Later this spring, we will publish a second general issue, followed by our Symposium Issue, which will feature scholarship centered around this year’s symposium topic. We owe the success of this issue to the tireless efforts of our extraordinary Executive Board and editorial team. Their unwavering dedication, exceptional attention to detail, and commitment to excellence have been the driving force behind every stage of this publication. To our entire editorial team: your hard work, passion, and teamwork are what make Chapman Law Review thrive. We are so proud of what we have accomplished together. We also extend our deepest gratitude to our faculty advisor, Professor Celestine McConville, and our Faculty Advisory Committee for their invaluable support. Additionally, we sincerely thank Dean Paul D. Paton for his guidance and encouragement, which have been instrumental to our success. Read more at the link in our bio!$
