The 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, And 3d Printed Guns, Josh Blackman
Tennessee Law Review
We are standing at the dawn of the next great industrial revolution. With 3D printers people can print an infinite number of personalized and customized "things." However, one manifestation of this bold new technology threatens to cast a specter on innovation: 3D printed guns. This Article explores how efforts to regulate, or even ban 3D guns, must satisfy constitutional scrutiny under both the First and Second Amendments.

Educating Athletes Re-Envisioning The Student-Athlete Model, William W. Berry Iii
Educating Athletes Re-Envisioning The Student-Athlete Model, William W. Berry Iii
Tennessee Law Review
This article contends that if the NCAA and universities are serious about saving the current student-athlete model, then they should double-down on the concept of "student" in the student-athlete model. In particular, this paper suggests that adopting a more realistic approach to educating athletes will benefit both the universities and student-athletes, relieving pressure on the current model and improving educational outcomes.
Specifically, this article argues for a revised student-athlete model. First, the new model would require mandatory six-year scholarships for student-athletes and a reduction in the required academic hours "in-season" from nine to three. The model also mandates that students …

Constitutional Trespass, Laurent Sacharoff
Constitutional Trespass, Laurent Sacharoff
Tennessee Law Review
The Supreme Court has recently created a trespass test for Fourth Amendment searches without explaining what type of trespass it envisions-one based on the common law of 1791, on the specific trespass law of the state where the search occurred, or on some other trespass principles. Indeed Florida v. Jardines, decided in 2013, raises the question whether the Court has created a trespass test at all, a seeming turnabout that largely recapitulates the Court's 125- year history of confusion in which it has embraced, rejected, or simply ignored trespass as a test from era to era or even year to …

Clapper V. Amnesty International: Two Or Three Competing Philosophies Of Standing Law?, Bradford C. Mank
Clapper V. Amnesty International: Two Or Three Competing Philosophies Of Standing Law?, Bradford C. Mank
Tennessee Law Review
In its 2013 decision Clapper v. Amnesty International, the United States Supreme Court invoked separation-of-powers principles by holding that public interest groups alleging that the Government was spying on their foreign clients failed to demonstrate Article III standing because they could not prove that the future surveillance injury that they purportedly feared was "certainly impending." Justice Breyer's dissenting opinion argued that "commonsense" suggested that the Government was spying on the plaintiffs' foreign clients and proposed a "reasonable" or "high" probability standing test. Implicitly, the Clapper decision also presented a third approach to standing decisions. In footnote 5 of the opinion, …

Could Windsor Revive Federalism? The States' Right To Protect Citizens Following Doma's Demise, Mark A. Fulks, Ronald S. Range Iii
Could Windsor Revive Federalism? The States' Right To Protect Citizens Following Doma's Demise, Mark A. Fulks, Ronald S. Range Iii
Tennessee Law Review
The United States Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Windsor was perhaps the most anticipated decision of the October 2012 Term. By invalidating the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the Court settled one hotly debated issue. But the Court's rationale gives rise to a litany of questions. Under the rubric of the Fifth Amendment, the Court invalidated a federal statute that denied certain citizens the right to liberty, which was rooted in the state's definition of marriage, and the equal dignity the state sought to protect. In doing so, the Court announced a new test to determine where supreme …
