Wisconsin Law Review Forward recalls the motto of the state of Wisconsin, Forward, but is also a reference to the preface to the publisher`s term, which is usually a short article commenting on more important work. Many of our online articles are short responses to larger articles published in our print edition, and all are shorter books that comment on broader issues of jurisprudence. WLR Forward is an online publication uniquely designed to advance legal conversations by providing a forum for the rapid publication of current and current articles that would otherwise be delayed by our print production schedule. In this week`s episode of Forward, the Wisconsin Law Review welcomes a panel of jurists who have studied the legal implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. These topics include college sports, banking, and vaccinations. All panelists wrote articles published in the Wisconsin Law Review Forward.

Many of our online articles are short responses to larger articles published in our print edition, and all are shorter books that comment on broader issues of jurisprudence. In general, we require a period of seven (7) days to complete an expedited review, although we may take longer depending on the number of requests. As a first impression before federal appellate courts, a panel of three Seventh Circuit judges interpreted the Uniformed Service Employment and Re-Employment Act (“USERRA”) broadly as requiring private employers, in certain circumstances, to grant paid leave to workers absent from work due to military service. White argued that an employer`s failure to provide paid military leave while providing paid leave for other comparable leave impermissibly violates the USERRA`s equal treatment rule for reservists and National Guardsmen. The net effect of this participation is clear: military and employer must understand the reasoning of the seventh circle and its future implications for employment policy and practice. Much has been and must be written about the many roles the law has played in China`s economic development since 1978. Without minimizing the value of what has been written so far, this essay attempts to broaden the discussion by applying some ideas of the great nineteenth-century historian of American law and economic development, James Willard, to China`s recent history. The essay is accompanied by a brief introduction and his work on law and economic growth in the United States, and then explores how these ideas could be applied to support our understanding of what happened in China. With the new website comes the rebranding of the Wisconsin Law Review online supplement.

Nizan Geslevich Packin The COVID-19 economic crisis has brought to light something very broken in the US banking system: banks prioritize their own profits over the interests of those they serve and the interests of social justice. And they are allowed to do so because they have no fiduciary duty to their clients and are not welfare maximizers. Students and faculty at the University of Wisconsin School of Law founded the Wisconsin Law Review in 1920. In 1935, the students were appointed sole editors.
