Remedying Past Abuses Of Governmental Power - Legal Accountability For The 1968 Events In Poland, Susanne Starecki
UC Law SF International Law Review
Since the 1968 events in Poland, the Polish government has systematically subjected Polish Jews to degrading treatment, denied them their rights to freedom of religion, denied them their right to the enjoyment of property and engaged in numerous acts of discrimination. The issue of justice and reparations for these Polish Jews must be addressed. This note examines the means Polish Jews may explore to remedy Polish governmental abuses.

Considerations On The Emerging Implementation Of Biometric Technology, Robin Feldman
Considerations On The Emerging Implementation Of Biometric Technology, Robin Feldman
UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal
The United States is embarking on widespread implementation of biometric technology, which uses automated methods to identify people based on their physiological and behavioral characteristics. Regardless of how much we invest in establishing standards for reliability of the technology and protections of the data, no system will be foolproof. Biometric determinations will be subject to mistakes, fraud, and abuse through human and technological error, both intentional and inadvertent. We should, therefore, take this opportunity to develop methods for individuals to review and challenge biometric determinations. In particular, this article suggests a doctrinal framework for challenging biometric determinations made by administrative …

The Predicament Of The Immigrant Victim/Defendant: "Vawa Diversion" And Other Considerations In Support Of Battered Women, Zelda B. Harris
UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

Mandatory misdemeanor domestic violence prosecution policies are periodically used against the victims of domestic violence. Particularly in the case of immigrant victim/defendants, arrest, prosecution, or conviction for a domestic violence misdemeanor at the command of rigid mandatory arrest and prosecution laws can result in significant unintended consequences, including increasing a batterer's power and control over the victim. This article examines those consequences in the context of southern Arizona. Discretionary prosecution policies, referral to immigration and …
