No More Tiers? Proportionality As An Alternative To Multiple Levels Of Scrutiny In Individual Rights Cases, Donald L. Beschle
Donald L. Beschle
This article will explore how the explicit adoption of proportionality analysis as a single analytical tool might lead, not only to a more coherent approach to individual rights cases, but will also bring together aspects of the current multiple analytical tiers in a way that allows full consideration of both the individual rights and the social values present in these cases. Part I of this article will give a brief overview of the history of the creation and application of the various tiers of analysis used by the United States Supreme Court and explore how the once-sharp difference in those …

Semiprocedural Judicial Review, Ittai Bar-Siman-Tov
Dr. Ittai Bar-Siman-Tov

The Article pursues these goals through the unique perspective of juxtaposing semiprocedural review with 'pure procedural judicial review' …
