The Interplay Of Race And False Claims Of Jury Nullification, Nancy S. Marder
The Interplay Of Race And False Claims Of Jury Nullification, Nancy S. Marder
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
After the verdicts in the OJ Simpson and Stacey Koon/Laurence Powell cases, many in the press explained the juries' acquittals as instances of jury nullification. However these were unlikely to have been instances of nullification, particularly because the jurors explained that their verdicts were based on reasonable doubt. One motivation for these false claims of jury nullification was the homogeneity of the juries-a largely African-American jury in the case of Simpson and a largely white jury in the case of Koon/Powell. Nullification became the term by which press and public attempted to discredit verdicts rendered by juries they distrusted. A …

The Digital Dilemma: Ten Challenges Facing Minority-Owned New Media Ventures, Marcelino Ford-Livene
The Digital Dilemma: Ten Challenges Facing Minority-Owned New Media Ventures, Marcelino Ford-Livene
Federal Communications Law Journal
Minority-owned companies competing in print publishing, radio, broadcast television, cable, and telecommunications industries have had no shortage of challenges, setbacks, and failures. Minority-owned companies are struggling to stake a claim in the new media frontier. Some challenges they face are unique to the underlying technology, uncertainty, and international reach of the Web. There should be a sense of urgency with respect to minority participation on the Web. If the promise of broadband leads to new media outlets that are profitable and more dynamic than traditional media, then minorities cannot afford to be left out.

Self-Regulation And The Media, Angela J. Campbell
Self-Regulation And The Media, Angela J. Campbell
Federal Communications Law Journal
Self-regulation has been portrayed as superior to government regulation for addressing problems of new media such as digital television and the Internet. This Article reviews the literature on self-regulation to define what is meant by the term, to identify the purported advantages and disadvantages of self-regulation, and to identify the conditions needed for its success. It then analyzes the effectiveness of self-regulation by examining instances where self-regulation has been employed in connection with media. After describing and analyzing past uses of self-regulation in broadcasting, children’s advertising, news, alcohol advertising, comic books, movies, and video games, this Article concludes that self-regulation …

Rise Of Duty And The Fall Of In Loco Parentis And Other Protective Tort Doctrines In Higher Education Law, The, Peter F. Lake
Rise Of Duty And The Fall Of In Loco Parentis And Other Protective Tort Doctrines In Higher Education Law, The, Peter F. Lake
Missouri Law Review
The story of twentieth century higher education student safety law' is the gradual application of typical rules of civil liability to institutions of higher education and the decline of insulating doctrines, such as in loco parentis,2 which traditionally protected institutions of higher learning from scrutiny in the legal system. A series of recent events have brought public (and legal) attention to questions about the legal rules governing university responsibility for student injuries.3 In recent times, courts have reversed a long-standing tradition of protecting universities from civil liability for physical injury to students arising
Missouri's Law On Admissibility Of Other Crimes Evidence: Increasing Inclusivity, Justin M. Dean
Missouri's Law On Admissibility Of Other Crimes Evidence: Increasing Inclusivity, Justin M. Dean
Missouri Law Review
Evidence of other crimes, or uncharged misconduct evidence as it is commonly called, has been important in many criminal trials, including such well-publicized trials as that of O.J. Simpson for murder and those of William Kennedy Smith and Mike Tyson for rape.2 Furthermore, this type of evidence is important because studies have shown that admission of uncharged misconduct evidence greatly increases the likelihood that a jury will find the defendant guilty.3 State v. Skillicorn4 presents a look at the current state of the law concerning admission of other crimes evidence in Missouri. The case illustrates the difficulty in applying current …
