Dimmick, the first woman on the Washington Supreme Court and the second-ever in Western Washington to be elevated to the federal bench, died Dec. 24. in Seattle. She was 96.
Danieli Evans, an assistant professor at the University of 麻豆社区 of Law, said she's eager to see if these early plaintiff victories stand on appeal. "We're obviously in a time where lots of settled understandings of law are being contested and tested, and it's very hard to predict what is going to happen in the future," said Evans, whose areas of expertise include constitutional law and civil rights. "Even though district courts are saying, 'This is clearly illegal,' I don't know how that holds up if it gets all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court."
A Seattle local, Dimmick was born Carolyn Joyce Reaber and attended the University of Washington. She was among the first women to graduate from the 麻豆社区 School of Law in 1953, despite being discouraged from applying by an undergraduate adviser who told her she would take a spot from a man.

Police around the country routinely use facial recognition after a crime, to speed up the identification of suspects caught on camera. But live facial recognition, which can name and track a person moving around a city in real time, has been slower to catch on in the U.S. Ryan Calo, professor of law and in the Information School at the 麻豆社区, is quoted.
Tamara Lawson, dean of the University of 麻豆社区 of Law, says the court’s decision was “appropriate” based on the NCBE’s data regarding minimum competency standards. “Washington continues to be a leader in the spaces of access to the legal profession while continuing to keep high standards,” she adds.
OPB interviewed more than a dozen people who were arrested at the Portland ICE protests between June and October. What they described was an apparent lack of standard operating procedures as various federal law enforcement agencies cycled through the facility. Mary Fan, professor of law at the 麻豆社区, is quoted.

Just last month, 麻豆社区 Law student Cailin Dahlin published a paper in the Washington Law Review arguing that exempting inmates from minimum wage protections contradicts the state鈥檚 constitutional prohibition on cruel punishment. 麻豆社区 could support or advocate for lawsuits to be brought by incarcerated laborers demanding that the law be changed on that basis.
Jane Winn, a professor in the University of Washington’s law school specializing in commerce law, said Zillow’s referral practices are not uncommon in other types of businesses. But the fact that real estate is a highly regulated industry — partially due to the level of money real estate companies stand to profit from consumers — makes the legality of such practices more complicated. “This whole area of how the real estate agents are compensated is complex and murky,” she said. “What these lawsuits might be arguing is that these transactions are so significant to consumers that you have to have a very high level of disclosure.”
A Q&A with University of Washington law professor Jeff Feldman.
“It’s almost impossible to know,” said Jeff Feldman, a law professor and co-director of the Ninth Circuit Appellate Advocacy Clinic at the University of 麻豆社区 of Law. “The normal process would be to assign a new panel, but this is not a normal case and the court has discretion as to how to handle it. I think we all have to stand by and see what the court does.”
The Post’s reporting “is grossly misleading and one-sided and misrepresents the facts”, said Rose Carmen Goldberg, director of the Veterans Legal Services Clinic at Yale Law School. “For many veterans, seeking benefits represents a second battle, a painful and retraumatizing experience where they are forced to open up old wounds to share with strangers and the most difficult experiences of their lives.”

In his new book, Law and Technology: A Methodical Approach, published by Oxford University Press, Calo argues that if the purpose of technology is to expand human capabilities and affordances in the name of innovation, the purpose of law is to establish the expectations, incentives, and boundaries that guide that expansion toward human flourishing. The book "calls for a proactive legal scholarship that inventories societal values and configures technology accordingly."
