Rising Tides--Changing Title: Court To Mull Takings Issue, John R. Nolon
Rising Tides--Changing Title: Court To Mull Takings Issue, John R. Nolon
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The United States Supreme Court has granted certiorari in Walton County v. Stop the Beach Renourishment, Inc., where novel questions arose concerning sea level rise and constitutional property rights of beachfront landowners. In Florida, the state government owns in trust, all beach property below the mean high tide water line, while beachfront landowners own the rights to any land above the mean high tide water line. The line shifts along with beachfront as the beach expands and contracts. In this Florida case, landowners challenge a state statute, which precludes the ocean property line from shifting in favor of the private …
States Of Resistance: The Real Id Act And The Limits Of Federal Deputization Of State Agencies In The Regulation Of Non-Citizens, Shirley Lin
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The goal of this Article is to discuss the justiciability of issues arising under immigration federalism by examining the constitutionality of the REAL ID Act. Part I discusses states' authority over non-citizens and the history of "immigration federalism" jurisprudence. Part II explores key provisions of the REAL ID Act, the WHTI, and similar attempts by the federal government to deputize states to engage in citizenship-policing and immigration enforcement. It describes the acute social and economic segregation that the denial of driver's licenses to non-citizens engenders, and examines a number of theories that attempt to capture the impact of the current …
Petition Clause Interests And Standing For Judicial Review Of Administrative Lawmaking, Karl S. Coplan
Petition Clause Interests And Standing For Judicial Review Of Administrative Lawmaking, Karl S. Coplan
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
One of the primary roles of agencies in the modern administrative state is the promulgation of rules and regulations governing primary conduct. Separation of powers and non-delegation concerns have evolved into very weak limits on the scope of agency lawmaking authority. Once the executive branch agencies have acted, Article III courts routinely step in to review the consistency of these regulations with congressional mandates. Particularly in the case of controversial regulations, the lawmaking process is not complete until judicial review. Entities burdened by such regulations--so called “regulatory objects”-- enjoy presumed standing to challenge the scope of agency regulations. Groups of …

Beyond Torture: The Nemo Tenetur Principle In Borderline Cases, Luis E. Chiesa
Beyond Torture: The Nemo Tenetur Principle In Borderline Cases, Luis E. Chiesa
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The Latin phrase nemo tenetur seipsum accusare means roughly “no man has to accuse himself.” It is the basis of our rights against self incrimination and forced inculpation. It protects against three practical problems associated with confessions: (1) untrustworthy confessions; (2) involuntary confessions; and (3) confessions provoked through unacceptable force. This article argues that the Nemo tenetur principle was intended primarily to avoid the third problem: confessions obtained through improper methods. It examines the arguments for and against justifying the principle as a protection against either untrustworthy or involuntary confessions. The article also develops a framework to aid in the …
Avoiding Wrongful Convictions: Re-Examining The "Wrong-Person" Defense, Lissa Griffin
Avoiding Wrongful Convictions: Re-Examining The "Wrong-Person" Defense, Lissa Griffin
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This Article reviews the history of the right to present a defense and closely examines the United States Supreme Court's modern analysis of that right. Part III analyzes the emergence of the right to present a defense that a third party committed the crime and concludes with a discussion of the Supreme Court's recent decision in South Carolina v. Holmes. Part IV then describes the current restrictive implementation of the wrong-person defense by the lower courts. Part V argues that the constitutional right to present a wrong-person defense is being insufficiently protected under current, arbitrary standards, and prescribes a constitutional …

The Ideology Of Legal Interpretation, Jason J. Czarnezki
The Ideology Of Legal Interpretation, Jason J. Czarnezki
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This Article questions whether consistency in legal interpretation is truly a manifestation of the influence of law or instead a means to a preferred policy end. Part I of this Article discusses the legal interpretive tools of originalism and legislative history and how they might influence outcomes in cases. Part II discusses judicial decision-making in the U.S. Courts of Appeals and justifies their use in the analysis. Parts III and IV offer information on our data and methodology, as well as a discussion of the results. Finally, in Part V, we find that the use of legal interpretive strategies are …
Ideological Plaintiffs, Administrative Lawmaking, Standing And The Petition Clause, Karl S. Coplan
Ideological Plaintiffs, Administrative Lawmaking, Standing And The Petition Clause, Karl S. Coplan
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
In the 1992 Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife decision, Justice Scalia declared that business interests subject to regulation had automatic standing to challenge regulations in court, but that where “the plaintiff is not himself the object of the government action or inaction he challenges, standing is not precluded, but it is ordinarily ‘substantially more difficult’ to establish.” This article explores the impact this differential standard for court access has on ideologically-motivated public interest plaintiffs, and suggest heightened scrutiny of standing rules under the Petition Clause of the First Amendment based on the viewpoint differential effect of current standing doctrine. This …
