Arresting Development: A Call For North Carolina To Expand Its Forensic Database By Collecting Dna From Felony Arrestees, John Maddux Jan 2009

Arresting Development: A Call For North Carolina To Expand Its Forensic Database By Collecting Dna From Felony Arrestees, John Maddux

Campbell Law Review

For nearly twenty years, state and federal law enforcement agencies have turned to DNA databases as a means of identifying offenders, generating leads in cold cases, and on occasion, exonerating the innocent. Naturally, the larger the database, the more likely it is that a new DNA profile entered into the system will generate a match. Currently, fifty states maintain DNA databases, and of those, forty-seven-including North Carolina-collect and store DNA profiles from all persons convicted of any felony offense. Statutes requiring the collection of DNA profiles from convicts are a positive step toward improving the database tools; however, by only …

Where Will You Go When The Well Runs Dry? Local Government Ownership And Water Allocation In North Carolina, Daniel F. Mclawhorn Jan 2009

Where Will You Go When The Well Runs Dry? Local Government Ownership And Water Allocation In North Carolina, Daniel F. Mclawhorn

Campbell Law Review

It is no simple task to determine who owns-or rather who does not own-the water in North Carolina's lakes, streams, and ponds. Those seeking to resolve conflicts involving water use invariably risk entanglement in a web of common law riparian rights and public trust assets loosely bound together by centuries-old court decisions and complex state and federal laws. The question of who owns water, particularly with regard to local governments, is clearly an area of increasing importance as North Carolina now sees an end to what once seemed its inexhaustible water bounty.


Murky Water: What Really Is Taxed As Court Costs In North Carolina?, James Edwin Griffin Iii Jan 2009

Murky Water: What Really Is Taxed As Court Costs In North Carolina?, James Edwin Griffin Iii

Campbell Law Review

What is taxed as court costs? A question so seemingly simple would rightfully lead one to believe it held an answer just as basic. Black's Law Dictionary defines the term as "[tihe charges or fees taxed by the court, such as filing fees, jury fees, courthouse fees, and reporter fees," a definition which does nothing to resolve the uncertainty surrounding the topic, especially in the State of North Carolina. The statutes involved appear straightforward, and the use of common principles of statutory interpretation indicate that the "answer" is clear as well-one which would not only clarify the law but also …

Part II discusses the general police power that serves as the first line of defense against the decline of vacant or abandoned housing, as well as how that power is limited by state statutes governing minimum housing standards. Part III then turns to those minimum housing statutes to examine their operation and limitations. Part IV analyzes …
