Professor Youkyung Huh`s article entitled, "Does the Structural Reform of Financial Regulation Matter? — Lessons for the CFPB from the Experience of the United Kingdom," has been accepted for publication by the George Washington Business and Finance Law Review.

This thorough comparative article contends that political decision-making is inseparable from both the design and the day-to-day operational functioning of financial regulatory architecture. Structural reforms reallocate authority; they do not resolve the political, institutional, and normative conflicts embedded in regulatory governance.

Professor Joseph D’Agostino presented at the final faculty lunch-time colloquium this semester. Elaborating upon his thesis on “Law’s Inevitable Establishment of Religion,” he argued that all law enforces a certain religious viewpoint and thus inevitably establishes religion in ways contrary to the Enlightenment ideal of religious liberty. His thesis engendered a lively discussion among the faculty members.

Dean Tarlika Nunez-Navarro and Jennifer Ley-Soto, Senior Director for Career Development, attended the 49th CCLGLS Annual Conference luncheon, where STU College of Law student Laura Leyva-Hevia was honored as a recipient of this year’s City, County, Local Government Law Section of the Florida Bar Outstanding Law Student Award.

Laura also had the opportunity to attend the Land Use Super Heroes 2026 conference and learn from and meet hundreds of practitioners and peers in the field. Having been published in our St. Thomas Law Review several times with topics related to Land Use as well as interning for the City of Miami through her 3L year, she is certainly deserving of this recognition.

Congratulations to Laura!
