Katherine M. Koza "argues that a new U.N. cybercrime treaty should build on the strengths of the Budapest Convention by including a clearer 'extradite-or-prosecute' requirement for its signatories and by creating strong privacy requirements to counterbalance the risks created by any data-sharing provisions."| The University of Chicago Law Review Online Archive
Tyler Mikulis proposes that courts allow cases with anonymous John Doe defendants "to continue under diversity jurisdiction" but that "plaintiffs ought to be required to make a good faith effort to identify the citizenship of any Doe defendants" and that courts should "allow limited, and temporary, jurisdictional discovery" to permit plaintiffs to do so.| The University of Chicago Law Review Online Archive

Erin Yonchak, writing on stealthing and on rape exceptions to state abortion bans, concludes that "(1) current rape law does not capture a swath of sexual violence, like stealthing—and rape exceptions, as written, do little to provide options for those victims; and (2) if rape exceptions are important to legislators, they should be broadened to encompass victims of any unwanted sexual conduct, in a way that makes them actually accessible and divorces them from the criminal system."| The University of Chicago Law Review Online Archive
