Professor Susan Bandes and Professor Joan MacLeod Heminway, both Fellows, had articles featured in the third issue of the 73rd volume of the DePaul Law Review. The issue was a symposium on the legal issues in HBO’s Succession.
Professor Bandes paper was titled The Sense of an Ending and focused on the question that if law is often thought about as storytelling, can the idea of narrative closure – the need for a satisfying ending – convey any insights about law stories out to end? She also served as the co-editor for this issue. She is known as a scholar in the areas of federal jurisdiction, criminal procedure and civil rights, and more recently, as a pioneer in the emerging study of the role of emotion in law.
Professor Heminway’s article, titled What the Roys Should Learn from the Demoulas Family (But Probably Won’t), focused on the comparison of actions taken between two families, the Demoulas family, known as owner-operators of northeastern regional supermarkets, and the Roy family featured in Succession, and how their actions intertwine with the law and the legal concept of fiduciary duty. She is currently the Rick Rose Distinguished Professor Of Law at the University of Tennessee College of Law and her research and writing focuses on disclosure regulation and policy under federal securities (including insider trading) law and state entity (especially corporate) law
