Constitutional Torts: Combining Diverse Doctrines And Practicality, Thomas A. Eaton, Michael Wells
Constitutional Torts: Combining Diverse Doctrines And Practicality, Thomas A. Eaton, Michael Wells
Scholarly Works
Constitutional Torts is, in part, a response to our sense that the upper level curriculum could be improved by courses that bring together areas of doctrine that are often studied in isolation. We think there is substantial value in bringing together seemingly disparate areas of doctrine that bear on a common real-world problem. Students benefit from learning how to put together concepts from different substantive areas in order to solve problems they will face in practice.

Political And Social Construction Of Families Through Pedagogy In Family Law Classrooms, Lundy Langston
Political And Social Construction Of Families Through Pedagogy In Family Law Classrooms, Lundy Langston
Journal Publications
Most family law materials available today fail to reflect the diversity' of family arrangements in modem society. Traditionally, family law is taught as a rules-based area of law. Students learn the requirements of marriage and the grounds for and consequences of divorce. Currently, there are efforts to expand the codification of family law through such things as support guidelines, uniform acts, and legislation listing specific factors to be considered in custody and property distribution cases. Many of these efforts stem from the underlying assumption that there is a uniform methodology describing and defining doctrine appropriate for resolution of family related …

Old Wine In New Bottles: The Constitutional Status Of Unconstitutional Speech, Mark A. Graber
Old Wine In New Bottles: The Constitutional Status Of Unconstitutional Speech, Mark A. Graber
Faculty Scholarship
This Article explores whether contemporary advocates of restrictions on bigoted expression have more in common with contemporary advocates of broad First Amendment rights or with past censors. The critical theorists who would ban some hate speech rely heavily on the equal citizenship principles that radical civil libertarians believe justify almost absolute speech rights. The First Amendment, past and present censors argue, does not fully protect speech inconsistent with what they believe are basic constitutional values. This claim repudiates a basic principle of American constitutionalism, the faith that "self-evident" constitutional values will triumph in the constitutional marketplace of ideas. The ideological …

Opening The Courthouse Doors: Allowing A Cause Of Action To Arise Directly From A Violation Of The Ohio Constitution, David M. Gareau
Opening The Courthouse Doors: Allowing A Cause Of Action To Arise Directly From A Violation Of The Ohio Constitution, David M. Gareau
Cleveland State Law Review
This note will explain why Ohio's Constitution should be looked to as the source of meaningful remedy when its provisions are violated. I will demonstrate that a cause of action grounded upon a violation of the Ohio Constitution is not only meaningful, but necessary to the notion of constitutional rights. Section two will briefly discuss the necessity of allowing a cause of action to arise from a violation of the Ohio Constitution. In particular, I will discuss the independence of the Ohio Constitution; the federal courts' increasing hostility toward the vindication of federal constitutional rights; and the benefit of allowing …

Making Conditions Constitutional By Attaching Them To Welfare: The Dangers Of Selective Contextual Ignorance Of The Unconstitutional Conditions Doctrine, Julie Nice
Julie A. Nice
This article examines the lack of judicial consistency in applying the Unconstitutional Conditions doctrine with regard to the same constitutional guarantee but involving different public benefits. Professor Nice posits that the courts frequently apply a lower level of scrutiny when conditions are attached to welfare benefits than when conditions are attached to other types of government benefits. She specifically examines this inconsistency among decisions involving Free Exercise and Takings. She shows that the Supreme Court has reduced its regular level of heightened scrutiny and instead applied Dandridge-style deference to uphold welfare conditions. For example, in a series of free exercises …
