In “Crim-eviction: Eviction and Social Control at a Residential Tenancies Tribunal,” Sarah Buhler argues that residential tenancies tribunals actively participate in the governance of perceived crime and the discipline of marginalized tenants through “crim-eviction”—evictions triggered by allegations of illegal or frightening behaviour. Through a qualitative analysis of tribunal decisions, Buhler contends that hearing officers mobilize tropes of “good” versus “problem” tenants and “broken windows” policing theories to justify immediate expulsions, effectively using civil eviction as a punitive technology of exile.

In “Against Settlement in Transnational Business and Human Rights Litigation,” Hassan M. Ahmad argues that the systemic settlement of transnational business and human rights claims is detrimental to the development of the law and to corporate accountability. Applying Owen Fiss’s “Against Settlement” thesis to cases like 𝘕𝘦𝘷𝘴𝘶𝘯 𝘷. 𝘈𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘢, Ahmad contends that adjudication on the merits is essential to clarify novel legal doctrines and ensure that multinational corporations cannot simply pay to avoid public scrutiny for human rights violations in the developing world.

In “Finessing a Medical Expert's Qualifications: From Professional Communities' Boundaries to Personal Character,” Patrick Garon-Sayegh argues that the admissibility of medical expert testimony on the standard of care often depends less on formal credentials and more on rhetorical strategies regarding “community belonging” and “personal character.” Through a detailed analysis of Cheesman v. Credit Valley Hospital, Garon-Sayegh contends that courts rely on markers of virtue—such as leadership and academic excellence—to bridge gaps in an expert’s formal qualifications, revealing the subtle ways cognitive authority is constructed in the courtroom.
