Silencing Grand Jury Witnesses, R. Michael Cassidy
Silencing Grand Jury Witnesses, R. Michael Cassidy
Indiana Law Journal
This Article addresses one crucial aspect of the ongoing debate about grand jury transparency. Assuming that well over half the states and the federal government continue to employ the grand jury to investigate felony offenses, and assuming that these proceedings continue to be shielded from public view, should witnesses themselves be allowed to discuss their testimony with the press or with each other? This larger question raises two narrow but very important subsidiary issues. First, does a prosecutor who conditions a written proffer or cooperation agreement with a grand jury witness on the witness’s promise not to inform other targets, …
Absolute Conflicts Of Law, Anthony J. Colangelo
Absolute Conflicts Of Law, Anthony J. Colangelo
Indiana Law Journal
This Article coins the term “absolute conflicts of law” to describe situations of overlapping laws from different states that contain simultaneous contradictory commands. It argues that absolute conflicts are a unique legal phenomenon in need of a unique doctrine. The Article extensively explores what absolute conflicts are; how they qualitatively differ from other doctrines like true conflicts of law, act of state, and comity; and classifies absolute conflicts’ myriad doctrinal manifestations through a taxonomy that categorizes absolute conflicts as procedural, substantive, mixed, horizontal, and vertical.
The Article then proposes solutions to absolute conflicts that center on the rule of law …

Sequela: Casey, Gonzales, And State Legislatures' Unscrupulous Use Of Science In Crafting Legislation To Regulate Pregnant Women And Women's Access To Reproductive Health, Samantha Von Ende
Sequela: Casey, Gonzales, And State Legislatures' Unscrupulous Use Of Science In Crafting Legislation To Regulate Pregnant Women And Women's Access To Reproductive Health, Samantha Von Ende
Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality
Sparked by the unprecedented number of reproductive healthcare restrictions proposed and enacted by state governments from 2010 to 2014, this Note seeks to document the troubling trend and varying manifestations of legislation premised on unsound scientific evidence and purportedly enacted to advance states' recognized interests in protecting women's health and potential life. Such legal restrictions take many forms and are divided into four categories for the purpose of this paper: (1) Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers, or TRAP laws; (2) Fetal Protection Laws that criminalize the behavior of pregnant women; (3) Fetal Protection Laws that impose complete bans on abortion …
Congress, Tribal Recognition, And Legislative-Administrative Multiplicity, Kirsten Matoy Carlson
Congress, Tribal Recognition, And Legislative-Administrative Multiplicity, Kirsten Matoy Carlson
Indiana Law Journal
Most descriptions of federal recognition by political scientists, anthropologists, and legal scholars focus on an administrative process run by the Office of Federal Acknowledgment (OFA) within the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). To the extent that scholars discuss the role of Congress in recognizing Indian nations, they suggest that it plays a diminishing one. In fact, this misconception pervades the field. Most scholars assume that Congress has largely ceded control over the recognition of Indian nations to the BIA.
This discrepancy begs the question: Who has it right? Hollywood screenwriters or the academic experts? The answer to this question matters …
Judging Adaptive Management Practices Of U.S. Agencies, Robert L. Fischman, J. B. Ruhl
Judging Adaptive Management Practices Of U.S. Agencies, Robert L. Fischman, J. B. Ruhl
Articles by Maurer Faculty
All U.S. federal agencies administering environmental laws purport to practice adaptive management (AM), but little is known about how they actually implement this conservation tool. A gap between the theory and practice of AM is revealed in judicial decisions reviewing agency adaptive management plans. We analyzed all U.S. federal court opinions published through 1 January 2015 to identify the agency AM practices courts found most deficient. The shortcomings included lack of clear objectives and processes, monitoring thresholds, and defined actions triggered by thresholds. This trio of agency shortcuts around critical, iterative steps characterizes what we call AM-lite. Passive AM differs …

The Distractions Of Technology, Kimberly Mattioli
The Distractions Of Technology, Kimberly Mattioli
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Since the moment I became a librarian, I have had a problem with technology. It’s not that I can’t keep up with the developments or that I can’t figure out ways to incorporate technology into my work. My problem is much simpler in a way—I find technology too distracting. With my desktop, my phone, and my iPad sitting in my office, how could I not be drawn to the glowing screens and the limitless websites before me? The Internet is never-ending, and so too, it seems, is my ability to be distracted by it. With a little dedication, however, I …
Unclaimed Money In Saudi Banks, Abdulrahman Almasnad
Unclaimed Money In Saudi Banks, Abdulrahman Almasnad
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
A law shall not violate its sources, especially if the sources are not subject to being overruled or ignored. However, one of the essential Islamic objectives is preserving the wealth “property.” This preservation requires protecting wealth from being acquired in illegitimate way, which will prevent the owners from controlling and enjoying their wealth. Islam protects true owners themselves from getting harmed or facing suffering caused by engaging in a transaction that involved their property. In making the law, Islamic scholars contend that any deliberate act that creates harm or makes someone suffer is “strictly prohibited” and must be rebuked. This …

Transforming The System, India Thusi, Robert L. Carter
Transforming The System, India Thusi, Robert L. Carter
Books & Book Chapters by Maurer Faculty
Our criminal justice system must keep all communities safe, foster prevention and rehabilitation, and ensure fair and equal justice. But in too many places, and in too many ways, our system is falling short of that mandate and with devastating consequences. The United States is saddled with an outdated, unfair, and bloated criminal justice system that drains resources and disrupts communities.
The U.S. prison population has swelled to unprecedented levels and unequal, unjustified treatment based on race and ethnicity is well documented. People of color, particularly Native American, African American, and Latino people, have felt the impact of discrimination within …

College Football Coaches’ Pay And Contracts: Are They Overpaid And Unfairly Treated?, Randall Thomas, Lawrence Van Horn
College Football Coaches’ Pay And Contracts: Are They Overpaid And Unfairly Treated?, Randall Thomas, Lawrence Van Horn
Indiana Law Journal
College football coaches’ employment contracts and compensation garner public attention and scrutiny in much the same way as those of corporate CEOs. In both cases, the public perception is that they must be overpaid and pampered. Economic theory claims that for coaches and CEOs to be overpaid, they must be receiving compensation in excess of the value they create for their organizations. However, both receive pay-for-performance compensation, which structurally aligns their compensation with value creation. This means we need to examine the underlying structure of the contract that gives rise to the observed compensation to determine whether they are appropriately …
Children Once, Not Forever: Harper Lee’S Go Set A Watchman And Growing Up, Allen Mendenhall
Children Once, Not Forever: Harper Lee’S Go Set A Watchman And Growing Up, Allen Mendenhall
Indiana Law Journal
The narratives of Jean Louise in To Kill a Mockingbird and Go Set a Watchman are as consistent as lived experience, which is marked by disruption and contingency, ambiguity and rupture, fragmentation and complexity. Only the careless would have accepted Jean Louise and Atticus as one-dimensional, self-contained figures unspoiled by the mores, customs, and vocabularies of their white discursive community. Such a sanitized view of Jean Louise and Atticus erases and rewrites rather than represents history in its disturbing, enlightening variety and complexity. Jean Louise and Atticus are not stock character types; their thoughts and behaviors are irreducible and inexhaustible.
Cook V. Nara Versus The Public’S Right To Know, Sarah Lamdan
Cook V. Nara Versus The Public’S Right To Know, Sarah Lamdan
Indiana Law Journal
In Cook v. National Archives and Records Administration , the court misapplied the Freedom of Information Act’s (FOIA) privacy exemption to hide presidential records, favoring secrecy over the public interest. The court set up a double standard by protecting George W. Bush and Richard Cheney’s library reference requests—even though, under laws created during the Bush administration, librarians would face possible prison sentences for refusing to turn over similar requests.
In 2013, a Gawker reporter named John Cook made a FOIA request to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to get more information on “who’s digging through what in former …
Harry Pratter’S Wisdom, Jonathan Pratter
Harry Pratter’S Wisdom, Jonathan Pratter
Indiana Law Journal
From 1950 to 1994 Harry Pratter taught law at Indiana University- Bloomington. One of his favorite sayings (he had many of these) was Maitland’s “[T]aught law is tough law,” a phrase that a forty-four year teaching career entitles you to utter with some frequency. In response to Sartre’s notorious challenge, “Do you have anything to say?” Pratter could certainly answer yes. He took Sartre literally. Pratter preferred to speak—that is to teach, and not to write. The source of Pratter’s strong preference for speech over writing must remain a mystery. The consequence is that a good deal of what he …
To Loose The Bonds: The Deceptive Promise Of Freedom From Pretrial Immigration Detention, Denise L. Gilman
To Loose The Bonds: The Deceptive Promise Of Freedom From Pretrial Immigration Detention, Denise L. Gilman
Indiana Law Journal
Each year, the United States government detains more than 60,000 migrants who are eligible for release during immigration court proceedings that will determine their right to stay in the United States. Detention or release should be adjudicated through a custody determination process focused on the question of whether a mi-grant poses a flight risk or danger to the community. Yet, because the process skips the critical inquiry into the need for detention before setting monetary bond require-ments for release that are difficult to fulfill, freedom remains elusive.
The custody determination process is a cornerstone in the U.S. immigration de-tention edifice …

Introduction: Global Human Rights Law And The Boundaries Of Statehood, Daniel Augenstein, Hans Lindahl
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

The Temporal Rivalries Of Human Rights, Fleur E. Johns
The Temporal Rivalries Of Human Rights, Fleur E. Johns
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Nation-states' "boundaries" are produced in time: around official working hours and terms of office, for instance, and in the historicomythic "life of the nation." Global human rights practices affirm and depend on nation-states' temporal authority, while also calling that authority into question. In different ways, global markets do likewise. In recent decades, the ubiquity of both finance capital and international human rights law, among other factors, may have encouraged the fracturing of time into intervals of ever-decreasing length. Temporal authority premised on the long-term seems to have declining purchase, even as historicism and futurism abound, discouraging some modes of state-based …
