Using the controversy over copyright on the Internet as a case study and the history of the environmental movement as a comparison, it offers a couple of modest proposals about what such a politics might look like-what theoretical ideas it might draw upon, and what constituencies it might unite.

Symbolic Statues And Real Laws: The Pathologies Of The Antiterrorism And Effective Death Penalty Act And The Prison Litigation Reform Act, Mark Tushnet, Larry Yackle

Duke Law Journal

Criminals are not popular. No politician in recent memory has lost an election for being too tough on crime. In 1996, the Republican Congress and the Democratic President collaborated on two major statutes affecting the legal protections available to criminals. The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA) modifies the habeas corpus statute in a number of ways, affecting the disposition of federal post-conviction challenges to all criminal convictions, not just those resulting in death sentences.

The Least Among Us: Unconstitutional Changes In Prisoner Litigation Under The Prison Litigation Reform Act Of 1995, Julie M. Riewe Oct 1997

The Least Among Us: Unconstitutional Changes In Prisoner Litigation Under The Prison Litigation Reform Act Of 1995, Julie M. Riewe

Duke Law Journal
