Congratulations to Professor Mark Blankenship on the forthcoming publication of “Franklin Writes a Law Review Article on the Intellectual Property Implications of Rage Bait” in the Georgia Journal of Law & Technology!

This innovative article examines the emerging phenomenon of “rage bait,” content deliberately designed to provoke outrage and maximize engagement in today’s attention-driven economy.

Professor Blankenship explores how recognizable intellectual property can be repurposed to generate controversy, attention, and algorithmic amplification, creating reputational and market harms that existing copyright doctrine does not always adequately address.

The article proposes a five-factor “deliberate exploitation test” within the fair use analysis to provide courts with a more structured method for evaluating whether a secondary user’s asserted transformative purpose instead reflects the deliberate exploitation of a copyrighted work’s goodwill, cultural reputation, or anticipated controversy.

Congratulations to third-year law student Caroline Ronveaux, whose article, "Who Speaks for the Everglades? Authority in the Post-Chevron Era," will be published in the Arizona Journal of Environmental Law & Policy in the Spring 2027 issue.

The collapse of Chevron deference has sharpened a question environmental law has long deferred: who has the legitimate authority to speak for nature? Using the Everglades, the beloved river of grass, as its central case study, the article examines expanded participation, guardianship, and ecosystem personhood as competing models of ecological voice.

It ultimately argues that environmental law must move beyond treating ecosystems solely as objects of regulation and develop institutional structures that integrate ecological knowledge, continuity, and responsibility into legal decision-making.
