At the time, Massachusetts did not have a law criminalizing the verbal encouragement of suicide. But it became the first state to find a way to incorporate this conduct into an involuntary manslaughter analysis, finding that words alone can suffice for wanton and reckless conduct in Commonwealth v. Carter. After Carter, Massachusetts and many other states enacted laws against suicide encouragement to avoid grappling with how to convict someone for this crime without an explicit law addressing it. In 2019, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts affirmed Michelle Carter’s conviction of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced her to fifteen months in prison. The court classified her texts to Roy as wanton and reckless conduct by incorporating a theory of “virtual presence.” The court considered this theory, Carter’s relationship with the victim, Carter’s persistent communication with Roy, and Carter’s knowledge of the victim’s fragile mental state. Additionally, it was noted that an ordinary person would have known the grave risk of texting “just do it” to a person suffering from mental illness and actively attempting to commit suicide. Ultimately, Carter’s text instructing Roy to “get back in” the truck after he had removed himself turned her words into enough to constitute “wanton and reckless” conduct needed for the involuntary manslaughter conviction, regardless of the fact that Carter was not physically present at the scene.","PeriodicalId":81517,"journal":{"name":"Indiana law review","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135147280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Matching Preferences and Access: Sustainable Investing in 401(k) Plans 匹配偏好和渠道:可持续投资401(k)计划

{"title":"Matching Preferences and Access: Sustainable Investing in 401(k) Plans","authors":"Dana M. Muir","doi":"10.18060/27644","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18060/27644","url":null,"abstract":"The vast majority of 401(k) plan participants want access to investments that match their personal values, yet a small fraction of plans offer those types of investments. The culprit for the existing misalignment has been unstable regulation, which has discouraged plan fiduciaries from including some categories of investments, such as sustainable investments, on 401(k) plan menus. In late 2022, the Department of Labor issued guidance that for the first time explicitly states that fiduciaries do not violate their duty of loyalty by considering participant preferences when making investment-related decisions. This Article makes two unique contributions. First, it evaluates the research on participant preferences for sustainable investments. Second, it provides a framework that fiduciaries can use to assess and consider those preferences while simultaneously fulfilling their duties of loyalty and prudence. If fiduciaries adopt the framework developed in this Article, it could be a triple win. Data indicate, and experts believe, that employees will save more in their 401(k) plans if they have access to investments that support their personal values. An increase in retirement savings would help close the substantial pension gap that exists, particularly for young employees and women who are particularly vulnerable to under saving. Companies will benefit if employees place greater value on their 401(k) plans. And, the world would benefit from increased assets flowing to sustainable investments at a time when climate and social sustainability are close to or in crisis.","PeriodicalId":81517,"journal":{"name":"Indiana law review","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135147284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
