A Unified Theory Of 28 U.S.C. § 1331 Jurisdiction, Lumen N. Mulligan

Lumen N. Mulligan

Title 28, section 1331 of the United States Code provides the jurisdictional grounding for the majority of cases heard in the federal courts, yet it is not well understood. The predominant view holds that section 1331 doctrine both lacks a focus upon congressional intent and is internally inconsistent. I seek to counter both these assumptions by re-contextualizing the Court’s section 1331 jurisprudence in terms of the contemporary judicial usage of “right” (i.e., clear, mandatory obligations capable of judicial enforcement) and cause of action (i.e., permission to vindicate a right in court). In conducting this reinterpretation, I argue that section 1331 …

"Defendant Veto" Or "Totality Of The Circumstances?": It's Time For The Supreme Court To Straighten Out The Personal Jurisdiction Standard Once Again, Robert J. Condlin

Robert J. Condlin

Commentators frequently claim that there is no single, coherent doctrine of extra-territorial personal jurisdiction, and, unfortunately, they are correct. The International Shoe case, commonly (but inaccurately) thought of as the wellspring of the modern form of the doctrine, announced a relatively straightforward, two-factor, four-permutation test that worked well for resolving most cases. In the nearly sixty-year period following Shoe, however, as the Supreme Court expanded and refined the standard, what was once straightforward and uncomplicated became serendipitous and convoluted. Two general, and generally incompatible, versions of the doctrine competed for dominance. The first, what might best be described as a …

Jimmy J. Ronquillo Pascual

En este artículo, el autor analiza el tema de la incidencia del contrato con efectos erga omnes en los sistemas de transferencia de la propiedad inmobiliaria y de oponibilidad de derechos.

Finalmente, aborda el sistema de oponibilidad de derechos que recoge el Código Civil en su artículo 2022, poniendo especial énfasis en el segundo párrafo del citado artículo, referente al conflicto entre un derecho real y un …

Alternative State Remedies In Constitutional Torts, John F. Preis

John F. Preis

In recent years, a subtle shift in constitutional tort doctrine has quietly begun to take root. In Bivens actions, the Supreme Court has recently implied that constitutional tort plaintiffs must seek relief under state law when it is available, rather than invoke their federal constitutional rights. This marks a dramatic change from past practices. For much of the twentieth century, a central premise in the constitutional tort field has been that the federal remedy is “supplementary” to the state remedy; constitutional tort plaintiffs have therefore been permitted to seek a remedy under federal law without regard to the availability of …

The Exclusionary Rule Lottery, Eugene R. Milhizer

Eugene R Milhizer

Abstract This Article/Essay, The Exclusionary Rule Lottery, critiques the contemporary Fourth Amendment Exclusionary Rule using an original analogy of a lottery to lay bare its moral and prudential insufficiency. The Article begins with a brief discussion of the Rule’s historical development and changing rationale. It next describes how the Rule has evolved to express an unprincipled and narrow utilitarian calculation. It then illustrates the moral and prudential insufficiency of the contemporary approach through the lottery analogy. In particular, it criticizes the Rule’s premise, absence of empirical support, and potential for abuse. The Article concludes by calling for the adoption of …

Much Ado About Pluralities: Pride And Precedent Amidst The Cacophy Of Concurrences, And Re-Percolation After Rapanos, Donald J. Kochan, Melissa M. Berry, Matthew J. Parlow

Donald J. Kochan

Conflicts created by concurrences and pluralities in court decisions create confusion in law and lower court interpretation. Rule of law values require that individuals be able to identify controlling legal principles. That task is complicated when pluralities and concurrences contribute to the vagueness or uncertainty that leaves us wondering what the controlling rule is or attempting to predict what it will evolve to become. The rule of law is at least handicapped when continuity or confidence or confusion infuse our understanding of the applicable rules. This Article uses the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Rapanos v. United States to …
