Our Dumb First Amendment: The Case Of The Foul-Mouthed Cheerleader, D. A. Jeremy Telman
Our Dumb First Amendment: The Case Of The Foul-Mouthed Cheerleader, D. A. Jeremy Telman
West Virginia Law Review
This Article applies the rights mediation model from Jamal Greene’s book How Rights Went Wrong in the context of public-school students’ rights to free expression. Doing so highlights the flaws in the rights absolutism that currently informs our constitutional jurisprudence. Under rights absolutism, once a court determines that state action burdens First Amendment interests, courts protect the First Amendment interest with such rigor that they ignore all other interests implicated in the litigation. In the case of the foul-mouthed cheerleader, Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L., a rights mediation model might not have changed the outcome, but it would have …

Restoring Causality In Attenuation: Establishing The Breadth Of A Fourth Amendment Violation, Bryan H. Ward
Restoring Causality In Attenuation: Establishing The Breadth Of A Fourth Amendment Violation, Bryan H. Ward
West Virginia Law Review
When the police violate a suspect’s Fourth Amendment rights, what often follows is the discovery of incriminating evidence. Sometimes the evidence is discovered directly after the Fourth Amendment violation. In other situations, the evidence comes by a more indirect route and may occur long after the original Fourth Amendment violation. Courts struggle when trying to decide if the discovery of this indirectly obtained evidence was caused by the police misconduct. This causal question is important because causality acts as a limiting principle when deciding when to apply the exclusionary rule. A basic view of the exclusionary rule suggests that evidence …

Hard Cases Make Bad Law: Extraterritorial Application Of The United States Constitution, Brendan O. Beutell
Hard Cases Make Bad Law: Extraterritorial Application Of The United States Constitution, Brendan O. Beutell
West Virginia Law Review
The Constitution’s extraterritorial scope does not arise often in litigation. Two recent decisions broached the issue. Both arrived at opposite conclusions. And these decisions share a common thread: They confuse more than they clarify while begetting novel questions of law. Does the Constitution protect noncitizens abroad? If so, how? If not, why not? This Note addresses each of these questions in turn. Ultimately, this Note concludes that the Constitution does not have any extraterritorial application whatsoever to noncitizens abroad.

Aligning Education Rights And Remedies, Joshua Weishart
Aligning Education Rights And Remedies, Joshua Weishart
Law Faculty Scholarship
Over the course of five decades and three waves of litigation, courts have approved remedies under the state constitutional right to education that demand more equitable and adequate funding of public schools. Scholars have urgently called for a 'fourth wave" of litigation seeking remedies beyond money: racial and socioeconomic integration, school choice, universal preschool, and teacher tenure reform, just to name a few. Desperate for progress and to escape the incessant rut of school funding battles, advocates have, in turn, initiated lawsuits seeking a broader range of remedies. If this strategy induces a fourth wave, advocates will encounter a beleaguered …
Reconstituting The Right To Education, Joshua Weishart
Reconstituting The Right To Education, Joshua Weishart
Law Faculty Scholarship
Confronting persistent and widening inequality in educational opportunity, advocates have regarded the right to education as a linchpin for reform. In the forty years since the Supreme Court relegated that right to the domain of state constitutional law, its power has surged and faded in litigation challenging state school finance systems. Like so many of the students it is meant to protect, however, the right to education has generally underachieved, in part because those wielding it have not always appreciated its distinctive forms and function.
Deconstructed, the right to education held by children has been formulated doctrinally as both a …
