They’Re Planting Stories In The Press: The Impact Of Media Distortions On Sex Offender Law And Policy, Heather Ellis Cucolo, Michael L. Perlin
They’Re Planting Stories In The Press: The Impact Of Media Distortions On Sex Offender Law And Policy, Heather Ellis Cucolo, Michael L. Perlin
Articles & Chapters
Individuals classified as sexual predators are the pariahs of the community. Sex offenders are arguably the most despised members of our society and therefore warrant our harshest condemnation. Twenty individual states and the federal government have enacted laws confining individuals who have been adjudicated as “sexually violent predators” to civil commitment facilities post incarceration and/or conviction. Additionally, in many jurisdictions, offenders who are returned to the community are restricted and monitored under community notification, registration and residency limitations. Targeting, punishing and ostracizing these individuals has become an obsession in society, clearly evidenced in the constant push to enact even more …

Humanity Bounded And Unbounded: The Regulation Of External Self-Determination Under International Law, Robert Howse, Ruti G. Teitel
Humanity Bounded And Unbounded: The Regulation Of External Self-Determination Under International Law, Robert Howse, Ruti G. Teitel
Articles & Chapters
One of the most complex and uncertain areas of international legal doctrine is how should international law deal with the aspiration of a people to achieve self-determination through the establishment of a new state and the related claim to a specific territory over which statehood is to be exercised. Recently, when the General Assembly of the United Nations referred to the International Court of Justice the question of the legality of the declaration of independence by Kosovar Albanians, the Court was given an opportunity to clarify and develop the law on external self-determination. Instead, the Court answered extremely narrowly, confining …
Preventing Sex-Offender Recidivism Through Therapeutic Jurisprudence Approaches And Specialized Community Integration, Heather Cucolo, Michael L. Perlin
Preventing Sex-Offender Recidivism Through Therapeutic Jurisprudence Approaches And Specialized Community Integration, Heather Cucolo, Michael L. Perlin
Articles & Chapters
The public’s panic about the fear of recidivism if adjudicated sex offenders are ever to be released to the community has not subsided, despite the growing amount of information and statistically-reliable data signifying a generally low risk of re-offense. The established case law upholding sex offender civil commitment and containment statutes has rejected challenges of unconstitutionality, and continues to be dominated by punitive undertones. We have come to learn that the tools used to assess offenders for risk and civil commitment are often inaccurate and that meaningful treatment for this population is often unavailable and ineffective. Yet, society continues to …

His Brain Has Been Mismanaged With Great Skill: How Will Jurors Respond To Neuroimaging Testimony In Insanity Defense Cases, Michael L. Perlin
His Brain Has Been Mismanaged With Great Skill: How Will Jurors Respond To Neuroimaging Testimony In Insanity Defense Cases, Michael L. Perlin
Articles & Chapters
The robust debate over neuroimaging has highlighted a series of law-and-policy questions dealing primarily with reliability, admissibility and availability. When we consider the topic that I will be addressing in this paper - the impact of this evidence on juror decision-making in insanity defense cases - we need to recalibrate our focus so as to incorporate other questions that are as essential (most likely, more essential) to the resolution of the underlying dilemma: (1) to what extent will such evidence - apparently, less inherently easy to falsify - have on jurors whose inherent suspicion of mental state opinion testimony is …

Trademark Law And The Social Construction Of Trust: Creating The Legal Framework For Online Identity, Beth Simone Noveck
Trademark Law And The Social Construction Of Trust: Creating The Legal Framework For Online Identity, Beth Simone Noveck
Articles & Chapters
Trust is the foundation of society for without trust, we cannot
cooperate. Trust, in turn, depends upon secure, reliable, and persistent
identity. Cyberspace is thought to challenge our ability to build trust
because the medium undermines the connection between online
pseudonym and offline identity. We have no assurances of who stands
behind an online avatar; it may be one person, it may be more, it may be a
computer. The legal debate to date has focused exclusively on the question
of how to maintain real world identity in cyberspace. But new "social
software" technology that enables communities from eBay to …

Government Trade Policy And The Professional Regulation Of Foreign Lawyers, Sydney M. Cone Iii.
Government Trade Policy And The Professional Regulation Of Foreign Lawyers, Sydney M. Cone Iii.
Articles & Chapters
This paper discusses United States government trade policy and the regulation of foreign lawyers. Although the expression "trade policy" implies a settled course of action adopted and followed by the United States government, in the area of legal services the formulation of government trade policy has been a rather fortuitous occurrence. Further, while the term "regulation," particularly in the context of the legal profession, suggests a recognizable and ordered system, the rules and procedures for the regulation of foreign lawyers in various jurisdictions do not fall readily into any pattern; instead they appear to be quite random. The regulation of …
