Nearly all law library staff have encountered, and likely will encounter, some measure of challenging patron behavior. This white paper, dubbed by the authors a "grey paper" as it attempts to analyze and contend with a fundamentally dynamic phenomenon, was written at the request of the AALL RIPS-SIS Executive Board with the hope of providing a jumping off point for further inquiry and discussion on current best practices in managing difficult, challenging or disruptive patron behavior in law libraries. In lieu of a traditional white paper solution, the authors have included a collection of best practices largely developed based on common themes which emerged from a 2014 online survey of law library staff; follow-up correspondence with several survey respondents; and a review of case law and relevant literature within law librarianship and other fields. The solutions to the problems of disruptive patron interactions can most nearly be found by providing a library atmosphere of safety for patrons and staff; equality in the staff treatment of all library patrons; consistency and predictability in staff responses accomplished by flexibility not rigidity; and communication and transparency of both policies and service limitations. This paper provides practical strategies for attaining that ideal.

The Millennial generation has arrived in law school. This new generation of self-confident and extremely high-achieving learners merits a new interdisciplinary approach to legal education. Some institutions have explored formative assessments and regulated self-learning to improve academic success. Other universities have looked to universal design, specifically universal design in learning or universal design in instruction, as a mechanism for furthering educational goals for their students. All agree that a lack of self-efficacy can prevent Millennial students from overcoming challenges in their educational growth, and that high self-efficacy, the ability to put forth effort and persistence to successfully accomplish a goal, will lead to better learning outcomes and is a powerful predictor of educational success. None, however, have paired the theories of self-regulated learning and universal design in instruction as a vehicle to improve self-efficacy in the law school classroom. This article is the first to address the unique intersection of these learning theories and their potentially positive impact on self-efficacy for today’s learners.

Book Review, The Fourteenth Amendment and the Privileges and Immunities of American Citizenship. Kurt. T. Lash Article

In this essay I review Kurt Lash’s The Fourteenth Amendment and the Privileges and Immunities of American Citizenship. Lash has written perhaps the most important work to date on the background of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Privileges or Immunities Clause. This essay summarizes the basic insights and arguments of the book and then presents a critique of it on two levels. First, it argues that the background of the Privileges or Immunities Clause is more ambiguous than Lash suggests and that this background does not support Lash’s rejection of natural rights interpretations of the Clause. Second, and more fundamentally, the essay argues that Lash — consistent with some other contemporary originalists — assumes an overly narrow concept of the historical public in his pursuit of the public meaning behind the Clause. Given the formal and informal exclusions of women and minorities from public discourse and decision-making, it is impossible to speak of a unitary “public.” We should consider instead how to identify and incorporate multiple publics and to consider what such a multi-public or counterpublic approach to historical meanings might look like.
