Application Prompt Choices - June 2025

Criminal Law

Under previous legislation, anyone between the ages of 7-18 in the state of New York could be charged as a juvenile delinquent. New York has raised the minimum age of criminal responsibility from 7 to 12. What are the potential legal consequences for raising the age of criminal responsibility? Could concerns regarding public safety and accountability for serious offenses arise? How might this decision reflect the national push to reform juvenile criminal laws?

Cyber Law

On January 19, 2025, TikTok faced a nationwide ban due to concerns over data privacy and Chinese government influence. Could a federal ban on a social media application be considered a violation of the First Amendment's guarantee to Free Speech, as well as the Due Process Clause found in both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments? How might courts evaluate national security rationale against constitutional rights?

**Environmental Law**

In 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court narrowed the scope of environmental reviews mandated under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for major infrastructure projects, emphasizing the need for efficiency rather than exhaustive environmental assessments. Was the removal of the NEPA's implementing regulations a wise decision to make, considering how harmful federal actions and projects can be for the environment?
