Problems Of Perception In The European Court Of Human Rights: A Matter Of Evidence?, Anne Richardson Oakes
Problems Of Perception In The European Court Of Human Rights: A Matter Of Evidence?, Anne Richardson Oakes
Anne Richardson Oakes
The “doctrine of appearances” is now an important element of the jurisprudence of Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The court derives support for its interpretations from the traditional precept of the common law that “justice must be seen to be done.” However, the formulations of the European Court are idiosyncratic and apparently driven by an asserted perception of an increased public sensitivity in this area. This paper examines these formulations and considers the extent to which judicial principles of procedural fairness require an empirical connection.
Evaluating Contracts For Customized Litigation By The Norms Underlying Civil Procedure, Colter Paulson
Evaluating Contracts For Customized Litigation By The Norms Underlying Civil Procedure, Colter Paulson
Colter Paulson
Recent scholarship on the potential for contractual modifications of litigation procedure focuses on contractual theories of enforcement, with constraints supplied by public policy. But this approach ignores the fact that such contracts purport to bind a third-party, the court, that did not agree to change its procedures. Nor can contractual theories of enforcement fully account for the societal and institutional interests in existing procedures. These problems are resolved, however, when contractual procedures are seen primarily as procedures, rather than as contracts, and are evaluated in light of the norms underlying civil procedure.
These norms are found both in the explicit …
Proxy Sovereignty And The Problem Of Immunity, Sarah L. Brinton
Proxy Sovereignty And The Problem Of Immunity, Sarah L. Brinton
Sarah L Brinton
The U.S. Constitution creates a three-branch federal government that acts on behalf of the sovereign people. Each constitutional branch—Congress, the executive, and the judiciary—is constrained to exercise only the powers and act only in the roles assigned it by the sovereign people via the Constitution. Despite this tripartite, proxy-sovereign nature of the U.S. national government, current federal sovereign immunity jurisprudence affords Congress the exclusive right to act as sovereign to waive immunity. This Article argues that the Constitution more faithfully supports another configuration of the waiver power. To do so, this Article introduces the proxy-sovereign framework, which assumes that (1) …

The Constitutional Procedural Principle: A Normative Morphology For Gauging Threats To Judicial Independence, Tara Price
Tara Price
For more than two hundred years, judicial review has served as the foundation of the American judicial branch. And yet, more than two centuries later, scholars and political figures continue to debate its proper place in American government. Recently, Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich waded into this debate, calling for members of Congress and the President to take stronger actions to check and balance what he termed “judicial supremacy.” Cries for a weakened judicial branch and insistence on the importance of reining in activist judges are becoming commonplace throughout American history.
As Gingrich and many before him have realized, the President …
The Racial Injustice Of The War On Drugs: The Sentencing Laws And Police Practices Responsible For The Injustice And A Policy Prescription For A New Way Forward, Brad R. Schlesinger
The Racial Injustice Of The War On Drugs: The Sentencing Laws And Police Practices Responsible For The Injustice And A Policy Prescription For A New Way Forward, Brad R. Schlesinger
Brad R Schlesinger
The War on Drugs is a discriminatory policy that results in blacks being overrepresented as those arrested and imprisoned for drug crimes – creating incalculable damages to black communities and families. The culprits are sentencing laws and law enforcement tactics that cannot be considered race-neutral as these policies overwhelmingly affect blacks. While attempts to ameliorate these disparities through sentencing reform has had mild successes, these prescriptions are limited, failing to address the underlying problem: the way the drug war is policed. I contend that legalizing and regulating drugs is necessary to reverse the injustice and blatant discrimination of the drug …

What Do Kim Kardashian And Lance Armstrong Have In Common?: Celebrity Complaints In The Classroom, Amy K. Langenfeld
What Do Kim Kardashian And Lance Armstrong Have In Common?: Celebrity Complaints In The Classroom, Amy K. Langenfeld
Amy K Langenfeld
Every day brings a report of a celebrity suing or being sued. The complaints initiating these suits are available online within hours. Regardless of the merits or outcomes of these complaints by or against celebrities, celebrity complaints are a rich source of samples for the law school classroom. As supplements to course materials in civil procedure or legal writing, celebrity complaints are likely to generate discussion for several reasons. First, they show a range of strategies and persuasive writing techniques. Second, they engage students because they are real world documents, and because they have a pop culture setting. Third, they …

A Response To Harel And Porat: On The Inadmissibility Of The Aggregated Probabilities Principle, Doron Menashe Dr.
Mahdi Naamnee
This article is a response to an article by Alon Harel and Ariel Porat, recently published in the Michigan Law Review. In the article, the authors argue that, under certain conditions, courts should be permitted to convict a defendant in an unspecified offense. This possibility is meant to address situations in which there is no reasonable doubt that the defendant committed an offense, even though the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant committed any specific offense of which he was accused. The authors term this new decision principle as the Aggregated Probabilities Principle – APP.

Pluralism And The Environment Revisted: The Role Of Comment Agencies In Nepa Litigation, Michael Blumm
Pluralism And The Environment Revisted: The Role Of Comment Agencies In Nepa Litigation, Michael Blumm
Michael Blumm
The National Environmental Policy Act suffers from a declining reputation due to high expectations and misunderstood implementation. The U.S. Supreme Court has disappointed environmental advocates by repeatedly ruling that NEPA does not impose substantive obligations to protect the environment that are judicially enforceable. As a result, some critics have characterized NEPA as a mere paperwork statute, imposing only bureaucratic red tape. Nevertheless, some courts have read NEPA to require close judicial scrutiny of federal agency actions with significant environmental consequences and have enjoined agency proposals that do not publicly disclose those consequences. The problem is that the level of judicial …

Why Harlan Fiske Stone (Also) Matters, Eric H. Schepard
Eric H Schepard
Harlan Fiske Stone has been largely overlooked in the recent legal literature even though his legacy should influence how we resolve contemporary legal problems. This article examines Stone’s archived correspondence, his speeches and opinions, and numerous secondary sources to demonstrate why he is more important now than at any time since his death in 1946. As Attorney General from 1924-25, Stone’s decision to prohibit the Bureau of Investigation (BI, today’s FBI) from spying on domestic radicals established a framework that should guide the troublesome relationship between domestic intelligence and law enforcement that reemerged after September 11, 2001.

How Legislative Bans On Foreign And International Law Obstruct The Practice And Regulation Of American Lawyers, David Nersessian
How Legislative Bans On Foreign And International Law Obstruct The Practice And Regulation Of American Lawyers, David Nersessian
David Nersessian
Thirty-two state legislatures have introduced (and five have enacted) “blocking” initiatives that prohibit foreign or international law in state judicial decisions. Some states, such as Oklahoma, extend this ban to religious tenets, notably Sharia law. Scholarly discourse to date has focused principally upon how such legislation discriminates against minority religious groups. The academic community has yet to consider the serious collateral (and apparently unintended) impact of such laws on American lawyers, which is the subject of this article.
Blocking laws make it all but impossible for practicing lawyers to fulfill their ethical obligations in legal matters abroad, which forces them …

Breakthrough Science And The New Rehabilitation, Meghan J. Ryan
Meghan J. Ryan
Breakthroughs in pharmacology, genetics, and neuroscience are transforming how society views criminals and thus how society should respond to criminal behavior. Although the criminal law has long been based on notions of culpability, science is undercutting the assumption that offenders are actually responsible for their criminal actions. Further, scientific advances have suggested that criminals can be changed at the biochemical level. The public has become well aware of these advances largely due to pervasive media reporting on these issues and also as a result of the pharmaceutical industry’s incessant advertising of products designed to transform individuals by treating everything from …
