Limiting The Pardon Power, Albert W. Alschuler Jan 2021

Limiting The Pardon Power, Albert W. Alschuler

Articles

Although our government is said to be one of checks and balances, the president’s power “to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States” appears to be unlimited. In granting this power, the Framers deliberately cast structural safeguards aside. Nevertheless, the presidency of Donald Trump prompted a search for limits. This Article examines: (1) whether a president may pardon crimes that have not yet happened (or announce his intention to do so); (2) whether he may pardon himself; (3) whether he may use pardons to obstruct justice or commit other crimes; (4) whether criminal statutes should be construed …


Rethinking Prosecutorial Discretion In Immigration Enforcement, Nicole Hallett Jan 2021

Rethinking Prosecutorial Discretion In Immigration Enforcement, Nicole Hallett

Articles

Prosecutorial discretion in immigration enforcement stands at a crossroads. It was the centerpiece of Obama's immigration policy after efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform failed. Under the Trump administration, it was declared all but dead, replaced by an ethos of maximum enforcement. Biden has promised a return to the status quo ante, but the record of using prosecutorial discretion to accomplish humanitarian goals in immigration enforcement under Obama was, at best, mixed. Moreover, it is unclear whether Biden can depend on the availability of programs such as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), Obama's signature prosecutorial discretion program. Although the …

Appellate Courts And Civil Juries, Adam Steinman Jan 2021

Appellate Courts And Civil Juries, Adam Steinman

Articles

In federal civil litigation, decisionmaking power is shared by juries, trial courts, and appellate courts. This Article examines an unresolved tension in the different doctrines that allocate authority among these institutions, one that has led to confusion surrounding the relationship between appellate courts and civil juries. At base, the current uncertainty stems from a longstanding lack of clarity regarding the distinction between matters of law and matters of fact. The high-stakes Oracle-Google litigation - which is now before the Supreme Court - exemplifies this. In that case, the Federal Circuit reasoned that an appellate court may assert de novo review …


Cannabis Banking: What Marijuana Can Learn From Hemp, Julie A. Hill Jan 2021

Cannabis Banking: What Marijuana Can Learn From Hemp, Julie A. Hill

Articles

Marijuana-related businesses have banking problems. Many banks explain that, because marijuana is illegal under federal law, they will not serve the industry. Even when marijuana-related businesses can open bank accounts, they still have trouble accepting credit cards and getting loans. Some hope to fix marijuana's banking problems with changes to federal law. Proposals range from broad reforms removing marijuana from the list of controlled substances to narrower legislation prohibiting banking regulators from punishing banks that serve the marijuana industry. But would these proposals solve marijuana's banking problems?

In 2018, Congress legalized another variant of the Cannabis plant species: hemp. Prior …


Government Speech And First Amendment Capture, Caroline Mala Corbin Jan 2021

Government Speech And First Amendment Capture, Caroline Mala Corbin

Articles

Alarm regarding government speech is not new. In earlier decades, scholars worried that the government's speech might monopolize a marketplace and drown out opposing viewpoints. But today, using a move I term "First Amendment capture," the government need not be the loudest speaker because it can become the only speaker. First Amendment capture has been made possible by the Supreme Court's developing government speech doctrine, which holds that government speech is not subject to the Free Speech Clause. Consequently, once speech is declared governmental, the government may censor viewpoints it does not like. First Amendment capture categorizing contested speech as …

Injurers Versus Victims: (A)Symmetric Reactions To Symmetric Risks, Francesco Parisi, Alice Guerra Jan 2021

Injurers Versus Victims: (A)Symmetric Reactions To Symmetric Risks, Francesco Parisi, Alice Guerra

Articles

Tort models assume symmetry in the behavior of injurers and victims when faced by a threat of liability and a risk of harm without compensation, respectively. This assumption has never been empirically validated. Using a novel experimental design, we study the behavior of injurers and victims when facing symmetric accident risks. Experimental results provide qualified support for the symmetric behavior hypothesis.


Early Repayment Of Loans Under Eu Law: The Lexitor Judgment, Enrico Baffi, Francesco Parisi Jan 2021

Early Repayment Of Loans Under Eu Law: The Lexitor Judgment, Enrico Baffi, Francesco Parisi

Articles

Recent changes in EU law provide flexibility and protection to consumers, facilitating early repayment of loans, when the consumer is no longer interested in continuing a credit relationship. From an economic point of view, early repayment of loans should be facilitated, because it allows money that is no longer needed to be put to other desirable uses. Under current EU law, as recently interpreted in the Lexitor judgment by the Court of Justice of the European Union, upon early repayment of a loan, consumers can obtain a pro-rated reimbursement of all the up-front and recurring costs of the loan, including …

Legislative Administration, Maria Ponomarenko Jan 2021

Legislative Administration, Maria Ponomarenko

Articles

A distinct feature of local administrative practice is that many of the entities responsible for “administering” various statutory schemes are not in fact agencies at all. In jurisdictions large and small, local legislative bodies, including municipal councils and county boards, engage in a great deal of “administrative” activity. They grant permits, approve zoning variances, and hear disciplinary appeals. And in performing these functions they, at least in theory, are subject to the same procedural requirements and substantive standards of review that would apply if the decisions were made instead by an administrative entity. The problem, as courts occasionally have recognized, …
