Prosecutorial Nonenforcement And Residual Criminalization, Justin Murray
Prosecutorial Nonenforcement And Residual Criminalization, Justin Murray
Articles & Chapters
In recent years a small but influential group of locally elected prosecutors committed to criminal justice reform have openly refused to enforce various criminal laws—laws prohibiting marijuana possession, sentence enhancements, laws authorizing the death penalty, and much more—because they see those laws as unjust and incompatible with core reform objectives. Condemned by many on the political right for allegedly usurping the legislature’s lawmaking role and praised by many on the left for bypassing dysfunctional state legislatures in favor of local solutions, these prosecutorial nonenforcement policies are commonly said to have the same effect as nullifying, or even repealing, the laws …
A Typology Of Justice Department Lawyers' Roles And Responsibilities, Rebecca Roiphe
A Typology Of Justice Department Lawyers' Roles And Responsibilities, Rebecca Roiphe
Articles & Chapters
President Trump’s administration has persistently challenged the legitimacy of the Department of Justice (“DOJ”). In the past, DOJ, like other governmental institutions, has been fairly resilient. Informal norms and practices have served to preserve its proper functioning, even under pressure. The strain of the past three years, however, has been different in kind and scale. This Article offers a typology of different roles for DOJ lawyers and argues that over time the institution has evolved by allocating different functions and responsibilities to different positions within DOJ. By doing so, it has for the most part maintained the proper balance between …

Cleaning Out The Statutory Junk, David Schoenbrod
Cleaning Out The Statutory Junk, David Schoenbrod
Articles & Chapters
“Statutory junk” is my term for the mishmash of statutory commands to administrative agencies that have accumulated over the decades and now are having unintended consequences. Enforceable in a court of law, even a few words of statutory junk can thwart a statutory purpose or impose unnecessary burdens on the public. Unfortunately, Congress typically fails to protect us from the statutory junk. I propose a series of solutions to make Legislators discard legislative trash.
Growing The Resistance: A Call To Action For Transactional Lawyers In The Era Of Trump, Gowri Krishna
Growing The Resistance: A Call To Action For Transactional Lawyers In The Era Of Trump, Gowri Krishna
Articles & Chapters
his essay is a call to action for transactional lawyers looking to support vulnerable immigrants through non-litigation means. By providing a snapshot of an especially precarious time in history for immigrants in the U.S.—the period immediately after the 2016 presidential election—the essay illustrates future areas of opportunity for transactional attorneys.
Statutory Junk, David Schoenbrod
Statutory Junk, David Schoenbrod
Articles & Chapters
Much as “space junk”—the debris that past space missions have left in earth’s orbit—can disable a current space mission, obsolete statutory commands that Congress has left on the books can keep an administrative agency from accomplishing its current mission. This statutory junk has proliferated in recent decades because Congress has shifted from giving agencies open-ended authority to commanding them in exacting detail, but often fails to revise these commands after changing circumstances have made the old commands perverse. Congress fails because, contrary to the suppositions of some law professors, this delegation allows legislators to shift blame to the agency for …
Administering Patent Litigation, Jacob S. Sherkow
Administering Patent Litigation, Jacob S. Sherkow
Articles & Chapters
Recent patent litigation reform efforts have focused on every branch of government — Congress, the President, and the federal courts — save the fourth: administrative agencies. Agencies, however, possess a variety of functions in patent litigation: they serve as “gatekeepers” to litigation in federal court; they provide scientific and technical expertise to patent disputes; they review patent litigation to fulfill their own mandates; and they serve, in several instances, as entirely alternative fora to federal litigation. Understanding administrative agencies’ functions in managing or directing, i.e., “administrating,” patent litigation sheds both descriptive and normative insight on several aspects of patent reform. …

The Search For Fair Agency Process: The Immigration Opinions Of Judge Michael Daly Hawkins, 1994-2010, Lenni B. Benson
The Search For Fair Agency Process: The Immigration Opinions Of Judge Michael Daly Hawkins, 1994-2010, Lenni B. Benson
Articles & Chapters
Judge Michael Daly Hawkins has been a member of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals since 1994; but he has been concerned with the forms and varieties of administrative or bureaucratic process his entire career. When he became a member of the federal judiciary, his role was clearly altered. However, his commitment to fairness and integrity in adjudication remained undiminished. This article will explore some of Judge Hawkins’s many immigration decisions, both majority and dissenting opinions, which reflect his commitment to the preservation of a due process.
The reality of immigration adjudication in the Ninth Circuit is that there are …

Only A Sith Thinks Like That: Llewellyn's Dueling Canons, Eight To Twelve, Michael B.W. Sinclair
Articles & Chapters
In this, the second installment in a series of articles planned to examine each of the twenty eight pairs of "dueling canons" having opposite effect left to us in 1950 by Karl N. Llewellyn (Karl N. Llewellyn, "Remarks on the Theory of Appellate Decision and the Rules or Canons About How Statutes Are to Be Construed", 3 VANDERBILT L.REV. 395 (1950)), I examine pairs 8 through 12. I start with Pair 12, Llewellyn's formulation of the Plain Meaning Rule; it is not so much a canon of construction as a condition on construction: unless one or both of its conditions …
The Future Of Citizen Participation In The Electronic State, Beth Simone Noveck
The Future Of Citizen Participation In The Electronic State, Beth Simone Noveck
Articles & Chapters
Agencies, not Congress, are the primary lawmakers in the American federal legal system. By law, the public has a right to participate in the making of agency rules. With the passage of the E-Government Act, administrative agencies are now required to use information and communication technologies to promulgate their rulemakings and to afford the public the opportunity to participate via the Internet. As currently envisioned, however, the move from rulemaking to electronic rulemaking will not realize the opportunity to improve participation to the full extent. Instead, the design of the screens through which people will interact with government are likely …
