Double Take: The Law Of Embezzled Lives, Joanna L. Grossman, Lawrence M. Friedman
Double Take: The Law Of Embezzled Lives, Joanna L. Grossman, Lawrence M. Friedman
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
This essay is about double lives and role-playing in law and society when and why it occurs, how the law responds to it, and its social meaning or significance.
The authors discuss situations in light of many examples, where it is (or was) considered wrong or illegal to live two lives; or where the "false" life is a lie of the type that would be considered gravely and impermissibly deceptive.
Juries And The Criminal Constitution, Meghan J. Ryan
Juries And The Criminal Constitution, Meghan J. Ryan
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
Judges are regularly deciding criminal constitutional issues based on changing societal values. For example, they are determining whether police officer conduct has violated society’s "reasonable expectations of privacy" under the Fourth Amendment and whether a criminal punishment fails to comport with the "evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society" under the Eighth Amendment.

Instead, judges turn inward, to their own intuitions, morals, and values, to determine these matters. But judges’ internal …

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

Arguments that international courts and tribunals deter future violations – and that such deterrence is a primary objective – assume an internally inconsistent burden that the processes cannot bear, in essence setting international criminal justice up for failure.

Bluntly stated, thousands of pages of …
Finality And Rehabilitation, Meghan J. Ryan
Finality And Rehabilitation, Meghan J. Ryan
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
New science and evolving societal views have led commentators to question the doctrine of finality. This parallels commentators’ embrace of rehabilitation during the middle of the last century. Today, casting off the strictures of finality and embracing rehabilitation are considered complementary positions, but finality has historically been understood as promoting rehabilitation. This shift stems from our changing understandings of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation focuses on offender change — on whether an offender is a final product or, rather, whether he is capable of transformation. Offender change, though, could be either change in character or change in behavior, or a combination of these …
