Lawful Ends to Unlawful Wars: Coercion and Voidness in Peacemaking Feb 19, 2026 Krister Rasmussen, 2026, "Lawful Ends to Unlawful Wars: Coercion and Voidness in Peacemaking", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/EBTYRJ Recent calls for a negotiated settlement to Russia’s war on Ukraine neglect whether such a settlement would be lawful. Yet under a settled principle of international law, a coerced treaty is void. This principle, a corollary of the U.N. Charter’s bedrock prohibition on the unlawful use of force, was developed precisely to rule out treaties making c... This dataset is harvested from Harvard's Dataverse.

Replication Data for The Prison Discovery Crisis Feb 19, 2026 Stone, James, 2026, "Replication Data for The Prison Discovery Crisis", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/UVIQQY For incarcerated people litigating pro se, the civil discovery process is vitally important. When imprisoned litigants lack meaningful access to discovery, their cases become swearing contests they are bound to lose, and wrongdoing in prison goes unaddressed. Yet for these same plaintiffs, civil discovery is defunct. The vast majority of incarcerat... This dataset is harvested from Harvard's Dataverse.

Replication Data for: Legal Deserts and Spatial Injustice: A Study of Criminal Legal Systems in Rural Washington Apr 15, 2025 Lisa R. Pruitt; Jennifer Sherman; Jennifer Schwartz, 2025, "Replication Data for: Legal Deserts and Spatial Injustice: A Study of Criminal Legal Systems in Rural Washington", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/TEKFSA This Essay draws on empirical research to compose a sketch of the criminal legal systems of several sparsely populated counties in central and eastern Washington State. The study reveals how, at times, the dearth of attorneys available to do the work of prosecuting and defending criminal cases is subjecting system-involved individuals to delays and...

The Effects of 401(k) Vesting Schedules–in Numbers Apr 15, 2025 Prince, Samantha, 2025, "The Effects of 401(k) Vesting Schedules–in Numbers", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/6RBJTB Many Americans terminate employment (voluntarily or involuntarily) prior to vesting in their company 401(k) plans. This costs them a lot of money; it also saves companies a lot of money. Vesting schedules used by some 401(k) plans cause plan participants to forfeit significant portions of their compensation—employer contributions made on their beha...

But a far more common restraint in employment contracts has been underexplored: confidentiality agreements, sometimes called nondisclosure agreements (NDAs). A confidentiality agreement is not a blanket prohibition on competition... This dataset is harvested from Harvard's Dataverse.

Replication Data for: Externalist Statutory Interpretation Apr 15, 2025 Zhang, Alexander, 2025, "Replication Data for: Externalist Statutory Interpretation", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/M6ZMYZ The dominant paradigm of statutory-interpretation scholarship is an “internalist” one. It treats statutory interpretation as a self-contained set of tools primarily deployed by lawyers and judges within the closed universe of courts. But as judges increasingly justify textualism by invoking a populist fidelity to “the people,” the internalist parad... This dataset is harvested from Harvard's Dataverse.
