Defunding Cities: Reconsidering The Fiscal Sanctioning Measures Of State Punitive Preemption Statutes, Eliza Martin
Defunding Cities: Reconsidering The Fiscal Sanctioning Measures Of State Punitive Preemption Statutes, Eliza Martin
University of Chicago Legal Forum
In an effort to deter and punish cities for passing ordinances that conflict with state priorities, states are utilizing a new form of legislative power: punitive preemption. It is generally considered a legitimate use of state power to utilize statutes to preempt local measures and ordinances deemed inconsistent with state policy. State legislatures, however, are attaching punitive mechanisms to preemption legislation that, in the event of local noncompliance, create criminal and civil liability for local officials, provide removal mechanisms for elected officials, and allow for the fiscal sanctioning of local governments.
This Comment considers whether local governments are legally protected …
Bringing Up The Bodies, Bennett Capers
Bringing Up The Bodies, Bennett Capers
University of Chicago Legal Forum
Allow me to begin with a scene from one of my favorite novels of the last twenty years. The novel is Hilary Mantel’s Bring Up the Bodies, 1 the second in her award-winning trilogy of historical novels about Thomas Cromwell and King Henry VIII.2
By the start of Bring Up the Bodies, King Henry VIII has had his first marriage annulled and is now married to Anne Boleyn. Indeed, Anne Boleyn is pregnant, and the king is optimistic about a male heir. But the king already has eyes on Jane Seymour, and when Anne Boleyn miscarries, the king is …

Second Chances In The Wire: Perspectives From Psychology And The Judiciary, Rebecca R. Pallmeyer, Dan P. Mcadams
Second Chances In The Wire: Perspectives From Psychology And The Judiciary, Rebecca R. Pallmeyer, Dan P. Mcadams
University of Chicago Legal Forum
Playing off a scene in The Wire wherein prison inmates discuss whether American lives have “second acts,” this essay considers psychological and legal issues at play in people’s efforts to turn their lives around, from bad to good. In the first half of the essay, a professor of psychology discusses empirical research into redemptive life stories in which people find positive meaning in suffering and/or transform their lives from failure to relative success. While examples of redemptive life stories may be found in The Wire, making good on second chances seems to be a relatively rare occurrence. In the second …

Would “Hamsterdam” Work? Drug Depenalization In The Wire And In Real Life, John Bronsteen
Would “Hamsterdam” Work? Drug Depenalization In The Wire And In Real Life, John Bronsteen
University of Chicago Legal Forum
The television show The Wire depicts a plan called “Hamsterdam” in which police let people sell drugs in isolated places, and only those places, without fear of arrest. Based on limited but decent empirical evidence, we can make educated guesses about what would happen if that were tried in real life. Indeed, Swiss police tried something remarkably similar in the 1980s. More generally, the results of various forms of drug legalization, depenalization, and decriminalization in Europe—such as in Portugal, which has transferred the state’s method of dealing with drug use (including heroin and cocaine) from the criminal justice system to …

Video, Popular Culture, And Police Excessive Force: The Elusive Narrative Of Over-Policing, Susan A. Bandes
Video, Popular Culture, And Police Excessive Force: The Elusive Narrative Of Over-Policing, Susan A. Bandes
University of Chicago Legal Forum
Allegations of police brutality are generally credibility contests between the officer and the accuser, and thus their resolution hinges on pre-existing assumptions about what stories arecredible. As long as aggressive policing is considered an aberration or a deserved response, legal accounts of unprovoked police violence will be considered incredible. This article explores the difficulties of overcoming the dominant story about policing and conveying the experience of living in an over-policed community. It considers the successes and failures of video evidence (body cam, dash cam, and cell phone) in conveying this experience, and also the possibilities and limits of popular cultural …
