Government Election Advocacy: Implications Of Recent Supreme Court Analysis, Steven J. Andre Dec 2012

Government Election Advocacy: Implications Of Recent Supreme Court Analysis, Steven J. Andre

Steven J. Andre

The constitutional issue presented by government partisanship in elections is becoming increasingly significant for review by the U.S. Supreme Court. The high Court’s decisions in Arizona Free Enterprise Club, Citizens United v. FEC and Pleasant Grove City v. Summum shed significant light on how the high Court would handle the government campaigning question if it should ever accept review on the issue. This article reviews lower court treatment of the problem and describes the U.S. Supreme Court’s analysis of election and First Amendment concerns and applies that analysis to the question of partisan government expenditures during election contests.

Is The Prototypical Small Inventor At Risk Of Inadvertently Eliminating Their Traditional One-Year Grace Period Under The America Invents Act?, Eric A. Kelly

Eric A Kelly

This Comment interprets new statutory language appearing in the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, effective March 16, 2013, regarding what may constitute prior art and how prior art triggers the new one-year grace period. If this interpretation is followed, the vitally necessary grace period will continue to be accessible to inventors, especially small inventors. Specifically, this Comment recommends interpreting “or otherwise available to the public” as a public accessibility condition precedent that must be satisfied in order for public use and on sale events to constitute prior art; which as prior art then triggers the one-year grace period in which to …

The New Due Process: Rights And Remedies, Doug R. Rendleman Dec 2012

Doug Rendleman

This article discusses the "new" due process. Perhaps new is a misnomer. Due process was not discovered recently. It has been around a long time protecting varying interests from arbitrary action. The discovery called the "new" due process is merely that procedural protections are not so limited as previously thought. This article will examine the interests encompassed by the new due process and the remedial apparatus now being developed to protect those interests.


Chapters Of The Civil Jury, Doug R. Rendleman Dec 2012

Chapters Of The Civil Jury, Doug R. Rendleman

Doug Rendleman

The civil jury, though constitutionally protected by the seventh amendment, has remained a controversial institution throughout much of Anglo-American legal history. Our romantic ideals are questioned by critics who view the civil jury as prejudiced and unpredictable; proponents note the sense of fairness and "earthy wisdom" gained by community participation in the legal process. This debate surfaces in the process of accommodation between certain substantive goals of the law and the pre-verdict and post-verdict procedural devices courts have employed to control the jury. In this article, Professor Rendleman examines this conflict in his three "chapters" involving racially motivated discharges of …
