Copyright And The First Amendment: Comrades, Combatants Or Uneasy Allies?, Joseph P. Bauer
Copyright And The First Amendment: Comrades, Combatants Or Uneasy Allies?, Joseph P. Bauer
Joseph P. Bauer
The copyright regime and the First Amendment seek to promote the same goals. Both seek the creation and dissemination of more, better and more diverse literary, pictorial, musical and other works. But, they use significantly different means to achieve those goals. The copyright laws afford to the creator of a work the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, transform and perform that work for a extended period of time. The First Amendment, on the other hand, proclaims that Congress “shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech or of the press,” thus at least nominally indicating that limitations on …
Privacy Torts: Unreliable Remedies For Lgbt Plaintiffs, Anita L. Allen
Privacy Torts: Unreliable Remedies For Lgbt Plaintiffs, Anita L. Allen
All Faculty Scholarship
In the United States, both constitutional law and tort law recognize the right to privacy, understood as legal entitlement to an intimate life of one’s own free from undue interference by others and the state. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (“LGBT”) persons have defended their interests in dignity, equality, autonomy, and intimate relationships in the courts by appealing to that right. In the constitutional arena, LGBT Americans have claimed the protection of state and federal privacy rights with a modicum of well-known success. Holding that homosexuals have the same right to sexual privacy as heterosexuals, Lawrence v. Texas symbolizes the …

The Fiduciary Theory Of Governmental Legitimacy And The Natural Charter Of The Judiciary, Luke A. Wake
The Fiduciary Theory Of Governmental Legitimacy And The Natural Charter Of The Judiciary, Luke A. Wake
Luke A. Wake
In legal academia, there are various claims as to the proper role of the courts and the standard of review to be employed in evaluating claims of right. These competing judicial philosophies have been the subject of great debate in recent years. Yet underlying these debates is the question of rights and whether men are entitled, in justice, to assurances of personal autonomy, or whether the concept of rights is a mere legal fiction.
In a recent article in the Journal of Law and Philosophy, Evan Fox-Decent argues that individuals are entitled, at a minimum, to certain guarantees of bodily …

Outgrowing The Commerce Clause: Finding Endangered Species A Home In The Constitutional Framework, Jennifer A. Maier
Outgrowing The Commerce Clause: Finding Endangered Species A Home In The Constitutional Framework, Jennifer A. Maier
Golden Gate University Law Review
This Comment examines the controversial relationship between the ESA and the Commerce Clause. Part I provides an overview of the Commerce Clause and the ESA. Part II reviews the evolution of the Commerce Clause and examines, in its current form, the Constitution's capacity to support the ESA. Part III examines the likelihood of Supreme Court review of the ESA due to conflicting circuit court opinions and recent changes in the Supreme Court composition. Part IV identifies several factors that endanger the ESA at the Supreme Court level. The Comment concludes that, despite several seemingly favorable factors, the Commerce Clause framework …
Patriotism For Profit And Persuasion: The Trademark, Free Speech, And Governance Problems With Protection Of Governmental Marks In The United States, Malla Pollack
Malla Pollack
“Governmental marks” are words or phrases which involve the identity of a social group that is partly defined in terms of its citizenship in a government-institution. The power to name a social group (especially one from which exit is difficult) confers enormous power over the group’s members. Legally classifying such words as trademarks commodifies them, increasing the namer’s power: both by giving the word monetary value and by providing the mark-holder with the legal right to prevent others from manipulating the word’s meaning.
Destination marketing employing governmental marks has become ubiquitous. The municipal governments of both New York City and …

Constitutional Law - Colacurcio V. City Of Kent, Zachary J. Dalton
Golden Gate University Law Review
In Colacurcio v. City of Kent, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that the City of Kent's Ordinance 3221, which required nude dancers to perform at least ten feet from patrons, did not violate the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The court found that, as a matter of law, the Kent ordinance was content-neutral and the ten-foot distance requirement was narrowly tailored and left open ample alternative avenues for communication of protected expression.

Golden Gate University Law Review
This comment will first provide a brief historic overview of civil forfeiture and the Eighth Amendment's Excessive Fines Clause. The comment will then discuss how the guilty property fiction and previous court interpretations of the Eighth Amendment have interacted to prevent proportionality review of civil forfeitures. Next, the comment will examine the Supreme Court decision in Austin v. United States and its potential impact on civil forfeiture law. Additionally, this comment will explore the potential of Austin to extend further constitutional protections to parties in civil forfeiture proceedings. Finally, this comment will conclude that, in light of the Austin decision, …

Inheriting Inequality: Wealth, Race, And The Laws Of Succession, Palma Joy Strand
Inheriting Inequality: Wealth, Race, And The Laws Of Succession, Palma Joy Strand
palma joy strand
The article begins by documenting deep inequality in the form of Black-White wealth disparities: While the overall wealth distribution in the United States is highly unequal from both historical and international perspectives, racial wealth disparities are particularly acute, with median Black net worth approximately a tenth of median White net worth (as compared to median Black income that is approximately two-thirds of median White income). Next, the article ties the perpetuation of this inequality to current inheritance law. It then confronts this inequality as a civil rights issue in terms of its social effects, its historical causes, and legal avenues …
Acontextual Judicial Review, Louis Michael Seidman
Acontextual Judicial Review, Louis Michael Seidman
Louis Michael Seidman
Is constitutional judicial review a necessary component of a just polity? A striking feature of the current debate is its tendency to proceed as if the question could be answered in the same way always and everywhere. Defenders of constitutional review argue that is a conceptually necessary feature of constitutionalism, the rule of law, and the effective protection of individual rights. Critics claim that it is necessarily inconsistent with progressive politics and democratic engagement. Largely missing from the debate is a fairly obvious point: Like any other institution, constitutional review must be evaluated within a particular temporal, cultural, and political …
Reverse Incorporation Of State Constitutional Law, Joseph Blocher
Reverse Incorporation Of State Constitutional Law, Joseph Blocher
Joseph Blocher
State supreme courts and the United States Supreme Court are the independent and final arbiters of their respective constitutions, and may therefore take different approaches to analogous state and federal constitutional issues. Such issues arise often, because the documents were modeled on each other and share many of the same guarantees. In answering them, state courts have, as a matter of practice, generally adopted federal constitutional doctrine as their own. Federal courts, by contrast, have largely ignored state constitutional law when interpreting the federal constitution. In McDonald v. Chicago, to take only the most recent example, the Court declined to …

Ricci V. Destefano And Disparate Treatment: How The Case Makes Title Vii And The Equal Protection Clause Unworkable, Allen R. Kamp
Allen R. Kamp
Abstract
Although early commentators have focused on Ricci’s discussion of disparate impact, I see what Ricci is saying about disparate treatment as being more important.
One can see Ricci as the case in which the Court came down in favor of one of two competing interpretations of the Equal Protection Clause and Title VII. The anti-subordination principle “is most concerned with actions of a majority race to intentionally subjugate members of a minority race . . . it is when government serves to ‘perpetuate . . . the subordinate status of a specially disadvantaged group that the Fourteenth Amendment is …

Cy Pres Relief And The Pathologies Of The Modern Class Action: A Normative And Empirical Analysis, Samantha Zyontz, Martin H. Redish, Peter Julian

Since the mid 1970s, federal courts have taken the doctrine of cy pres relief from the venerable law of trusts and adapted it for use in the modern class action proceeding. In its original context, cy pres was utilized as a means of judicially designating a charitable recipient when, for whatever reason, it was no longer possible to fulfill the original goal of the maker of the trust. The purpose of cy pres was to provide “the next best relief” by finding a recipient who would resemble the original donor’s recipient as much as possible. In the context of class …
