From professional to amateur astronomers, the dark skies represent a window to the universe. Whether from our backyards or millions of miles into the expanse, the distant lights that astronomers observe represent the next frontier of human
exploration. However, a newer inhabitant of our space backyard threatens this much needed future: satellite mega-constellations. This paper explores the notion of law and ethics as it applies to the use of satellite mega-constellations. The goal is to discover how space law may offer guidance and educate satellite operators while identifying possible solutions.

Although time forms a part of the very bedrock of international law as a legal order and fundamentally determines international law as a practice and discipline, the relationship between time and international law has received only limited attention. To most international lawyers, time appears as simply a technical problem, and mainstream international law doctrine presents international law as essentially atemporal. However, such attitudes obscure the complex temporalities involved in international law and the choices that have underpinned them. Time in international law is profoundly multifaceted, and there is significant intra-disciplinary diversity in the understanding of the relationship between international law and time. Nevertheless, international law and international lawyers may be said to primarily cope and engage with time in two main – albeit intertwined – ways: through the construction of narratives and through the development of legal techniques.

This Essay examines the role of businesses in exacerbating or combatting corrupt criminal conduct. It uses as examples, the part businesses may have played in the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th and the part played by businesses in the Russian aggression against Ukraine. It considers the role of both public and private law in combatting criminal conduct, and looks at whether hybrid criminal statutes are needed to facilitate the role businesses can play in assisting the government in the fight against criminal conduct, whether it be within or extraterritorial to this country. Although not advocating for a laissez-faire approach, especially when the company may be involved in criminal activity, it does remind businesses of how they can change their current poor image through an expressive function and in the process assist the government in fighting corrupt criminal conduct.

International law has proved to be a highly dynamic legal order over time. However, dealing with change in international law is both analytically demanding and possibly normatively unsettling. The term ‘change’ regularly refers to distinct dimensions of change in relation to international law, ranging from alterations in its substantive content to the interplay between international law and its underlying social and physical reality. This conceptual heterogeneity has at times convoluted the consideration of the topic. Still, when conceptualizing international law as a process of continuous change over time, ‘practice’ emerges as the key normative vehicle enabling international law’s dynamism. The continuous normative responsiveness of international law to social reality – international law’s ‘facticity’ – actually operates as a defining characteristic of international law. The dynamic processes of change have regularly produced concerns about the stability of international law as a necessary precondition for international law’s capacity to provide a stable framework for social action in the international domain. At the same time, commentators have suggested that international law’s lawmaking tools may be inadequate for the realities of contemporary international relations due to the asynchrony between international law’s formal sources and social acceleration. However, both of these apprehensions seem overstated.
Holding States Accountable for Harmful Algal Blooms: Florida’s Water Crisis in Focus Article

Scientists generally agree that agricultural runoff is a principal source of nutrient pollution in the United States. Intensive agricultural practices have resulted in decades of phosphorus and nitrogen accumulating in the natural system which continue to contribute substantially to nutrients entering watersheds. Coupled with failed water quality control measures, this water pollution has led to some of the worst harmful algal blooms (HABs) in recorded history. These nonpoint sources need to be addressed to restore and protect water quality. Florida's Lake Okeechobee watershed provides an apt case study. Commonly referred to as the "liquid heart" of the Everglades, the lake has experienced a proliferation of large scale HABs, sometimes covering an area of more than 500 square miles and observable from space. These HABs wreak havoc on the lake's ecology. When the lake reaches water levels that pose a flooding risk to communities to the south, the United States Army Corps of Engineers discharges billions of gallons of algae and nutrient laden water to the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie estuaries on the west and east coasts. These algae blooms cause additional harm and destruction to wildlife in these systems and pose a threat to human health and local economies. This Article seeks to provide water quality advocates, lawmakers, and government agencies with a regulatory and policy framework for addressing HABs in their states, using Lake Okeechobee and its coastal estuaries as a case study.
