The Inevitable Collision: Affirmative Action And The Constitution, Jennifer Moore
The Inevitable Collision: Affirmative Action And The Constitution, Jennifer Moore
Faculty Scholarship
This Comment, like a traditional Comment regarding affirmative action, will provide analysis pertaining to the historical events that shaped modem affirmative action policies. However, this Comment will also examine the recent settlement of Taxman v. Board of Education, a most intriguing display of political maneuvering which remains shrouded in controversy." Taxman would have presented the upreme Court with an ideal lens through which to examine the constitutionality of affirmative action. However, as a result of industrious manipulation, the Court narrowly missed that opportunity. Because a live controversy no longer exists, this Comment will focus on the Supreme Court's lost chance …
A Call For Reform Of Recent Immigration Legislation, Jason H. Ehrenberg
A Call For Reform Of Recent Immigration Legislation, Jason H. Ehrenberg
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 dramatically limit the procedural rights of aliens who have been convicted of serious crimes. Consequently, aliens who have immigrated to the United States to escape persecution in their homelands are deported without adequate hearing or appeal. This Note argues that the laws violate international obligations and Constitutional law. It advocates amending the laws to give the Attorney General discretion over deportation decisions, eliminating retroactive application of deportation for aggravated felons, and reinstating judicial review of deportation or exclusion decisions.

Introduction: Locating Culture, Identity, And Human Rights Symposium In Celebration Of The Fiftieth Anniversary Of The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights: Introduction, Catherine Powell
Faculty Scholarship
As we celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the idea of human rights endures. The human rights idea was honored at a conference organized by the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, held at Fordham Law School on December 10-12, 1999, to commemorate the first fifty years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The four pieces that follow were presented at the conference as part of a panel addressing one of the central philosophical concerns regarding the human rights project: its universality. While the panel's title, "What is a Human …
Unaccompanied Children In I.N.S. Detention, Rosa Ehrenreich Brooks
Unaccompanied Children In I.N.S. Detention, Rosa Ehrenreich Brooks
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
It is important to note that children who end up in INS detention centers in the United States are not criminal detainees, but rather, administrative detainees. That is, they are not being held because they are accused or convicted of crimes. They are being held for two reasons only. First, the INS holds them in order to ensure their presence at immigration proceedings. They fear that if they let a child out, into foster care for instance, that child might not appear at any subsequent hearings or proceedings. Second, the government is legally required to look after these children in …
