The Modern Age Of Informed Consent, Barbara L. Atwell
The Modern Age Of Informed Consent, Barbara L. Atwell
University of Richmond Law Review
This essay explores the informed consent ramifications of the confluence of these two phenomena: developments in medical technology and emerging adulthood. In particular, it explores consent to medical treatments by emerging adults that are both elective and irreversible. In such cases, policy considerations dictate that additional safeguards be implemented to ensure that the consent given is truly informed.

The Electronic Recording Of Criminal Interrogations, Roberto Iraola
The Electronic Recording Of Criminal Interrogations, Roberto Iraola
University of Richmond Law Review
Should law enforcement officers be required to record, by video or audiotape, custodial interrogations of suspects? If so, how much, the entire interrogation or just the confession? Many prosecutors and police departments maintain that a recording requirement will hamper law enforcement and discourage suspects from talking. Proponents of this measure argue that the recording of interrogations protects against false confessions, augments the effective administration of justice, and serves to improve the relationship between the public and the police.
This article generally examines the developing case law on this question. Because of the incriminating nature of confessions, the article, by way …

Undeserving Heirs?--The Case Of The "Terminated" Parent, Richard Lewis Brown
Undeserving Heirs?--The Case Of The "Terminated" Parent, Richard Lewis Brown
University of Richmond Law Review
Every state has an intestate succession statute that prescribes how the property of those who die without a will should be distributed. Every state also by statute authorizes the government to intervene in the parent-child relationship in the most draconian manner possible by involuntarily terminating parental rights. This article explores how the law functions at the intersection of these two statutory schemes-the inheritance regime, as expressed through intestate succession statutes, and the child welfare regime, as expressed through termination of parental rights statutes ("TPR statutes").

Small V. United States: Defining "Any" As A Subset Of "Any", Lee G. Lester
University of Richmond Law Review
"It shall be unlawful for any person.., who has been convicted in any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year ... to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition ...." Although this statute, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), was enacted to keep firearms out of the hands of persons not entitled to possess them because of their criminal backgrounds, the scope of this statute has been controversial. Specifically, the federal circuits have disagreed as to whether the phrase "any court" applies to foreign courts …
