“Are There No Prisons?” Mental Health And The Criminal Justice System In The United States, Robert R. Rigg
“Are There No Prisons?” Mental Health And The Criminal Justice System In The United States, Robert R. Rigg
Robert R. Rigg
Treating the mentally ill is a crisis in the criminal justice system throughout the United States. With the deinstitutionalization movement starting in the 1950’s, more and more individuals with serious mental illness were released into communities without treatment or services. As a result these individuals became involved in various criminal activities resulting in incarceration in jails and prisons throughout the country. This article explores the difficulties this influx of prisoners created in the criminal justice system, causing it to function as a defacto mental health provider without adequate resources. The application of Penrose’s Law, a theory that was developed …

Expanding The Federal Common Law?: From Nomos & Physis And Beyond, Sam Kalen
Expanding The Federal Common Law?: From Nomos & Physis And Beyond, Sam Kalen
Sam Kalen Mr.
The Supreme Court’s recent decision in AEP v. Connecticut, as well as a prominent Seventh Circuit case last year, reflect an emerging effort to test the federal judiciary’s willingness to expand the federal common law to include claims for interstate pollution. There is an assumption, including by the Supreme Court, that a federal common law for public nuisance exists, and that the pressing question is whether to expand that common law. Building on existing scholarship and a more thorough review of the cases than has occurred in the past, this article attempts to prompt a searching dialogue about the jurisprudential …
Why Roe V. Wade Is Wrong, Richard Maloy
Toward A Meaning-Full Establishment Clause Neutrality, Bruce Ledewitz
Toward A Meaning-Full Establishment Clause Neutrality, Bruce Ledewitz
Bruce Ledewitz
Some form of government neutrality toward religion, in contrast to a more pro-religion stance or a turn toward nonjusticiability, is the only interpretation of the Establishment Clause that can potentially lead to a national consensus concerning the proper role of religion in American public life. But to achieve that goal, neutrality theory must acknowledge and engage the need for the expressions of deep meaning on public occasions and in the public square generally. Current neutrality doctrine promotes a silent and empty public square. This article proposes an interpretation of neutrality that would allow a symbol-rich, meaning-full public square without violating …
Representative Self-Government And The Declaration Of Independence, Alexander Tsesis
Representative Self-Government And The Declaration Of Independence, Alexander Tsesis
Alexander Tsesis
Legal scholars typically treat the Declaration of Independence as a purely historical document, but as this article explains, the Declaration is relevant to legislative and judicial decisionmaking. After describing why this founding document contains legal significance, I examine two contemporary legal issues through the lens of the Declaration’s prescriptions.
Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment grants Congress the power to make laws that enforce the civil rights clauses in the amendment’s first four sections. In City of Boerne v. Flores and its progeny, however, the Supreme Court decided that it alone can identify fundamental rights and relegated Congress’s power under …
Life, Death & The God Complex: The Effectiveness Of Incorporating Religion-Based Arguments Into The Pro-Choice Perspective On Abortion, Stacy A. Scaldo
Life, Death & The God Complex: The Effectiveness Of Incorporating Religion-Based Arguments Into The Pro-Choice Perspective On Abortion, Stacy A. Scaldo
Stacy A Scaldo
While speaking on the issue of healthcare in August of 2009, President Barrack Obama told a meeting of Jewish rabbis, “We are God’s partners in matters of life and death.” While the President’s message was expressly targeting choices in healthcare and end of life decisions, the statement is representative of a shift in the public rhetoric reflective of all matters concerning life - including abortion. This, indeed, would be a remarkable change in both express policy and argument identification – one that appears to be a new weapon in the arsenal of those who identify themselves with the pro-choice movement. …

Are Tenant-Stockholders Entitled to a Charitable Contribution Deduction when a Cooperative Housing Corporation Donates a Preservation Easement?
Abstract
Most Tenant-Stockholders of cooperative housing corporations (“CHC”) view themselves as the owners of their apartments, a perception encouraged by the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”), which affords them those tax benefits most commonly associated with home ownership. This article explores the question of whether that perception is accurate with respect to the Code’s tax incentives designed to encourage preservation of historic homes. The Code encourages homeowners to protect their historic homes with preservation easements by allowing a charitable contribution deduction equal to the …
A Primary Human Challenge, Carroy U. Ferguson
A Primary Human Challenge, Carroy U. Ferguson
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
We may ask why, at both the individual and collective levels, it has seemed so difficult for us to choose to evolve our human games with Joy. There is no one answer for such a question, for each of us has the gift of free will. I will suggest, however, that built into our human games is what I call a primary human challenge. That primary human challenge is a dynamic tension, flowing from our creative urge for the freedom “to be” who we really are in our current physical form, and simultaneously to embrace our responsibility for our Being-ness.
Religious Arguments And The United States Supreme Court: A Review Of Amicus Curiae Briefs Filed By Religious Organizations, Andrew S. Mansfield
Religious Arguments And The United States Supreme Court: A Review Of Amicus Curiae Briefs Filed By Religious Organizations, Andrew S. Mansfield
Andrew S Mansfield
This paper analyzes forty-five amicus curiae briefs filed by religious organizations with the Supreme Court since Brown v. Board of Education, 348 U.S. 886, decided in 1954, through the decision in Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood, 546 U.S. 320, rendered in 2006. The forty-five amicus curiae briefs were filed in nineteen cases and concern issues that are often identified as “moral.” Analysis of the amicus curiae briefs filed with the Supreme Court by religious organizations provides at least three crucial insights. First, the legal arguments presented by religious organizations, as reflected in amicus curiae briefs filed with the Supreme Court, provide …

Toward Democratic Consolidation? The Argentine Supreme Court, Judicial Independence, And The Rule Of Law, Christopher J. Walker
Toward Democratic Consolidation? The Argentine Supreme Court, Judicial Independence, And The Rule Of Law, Christopher J. Walker
Christopher J. Walker
Too little attention has been paid to the role of judiciary in strengthening democracy and the rule of law in Latin America, with even less attention on the Argentine judicial system. In this paper, the role of the courts in consolidation will be examined through the Argentine case study. Part I outlines the current state of the literature on democratization and the rule of law with respect to Latin America, while Part II reviews what has been written about the Latin American judiciary and its influence on the rule of law. Part III evaluates the development of the judiciary and …
