Clearly Canadian--Hill V. Colorado And Free Speech Balancing In The United States And Canada, Donald L. Beschle Jan 2001

Clearly Canadian--Hill V. Colorado And Free Speech Balancing In The United States And Canada, Donald L. Beschle

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Two doctrines have equally influenced and informed the debate regrading the scope of the First Amendment free speech guarantee: absolutism versus the balancing of competing interests. Despite the language of the United States Constitution that suggests the application of absolutes, the courts have often resorted to balancing in the resolution of cases. This Article examines the debate by comparing the different approaches taken by the courts in the United States and Canada. This examination reveals that perhaps the two doctrines do not need to negate each other in their application, and that a recent decision by the United States Supreme …


Supreme Court Voting Behavior: 1999 Term, Richard G. Wilkins, Scott Worthington, Rachelle Fleming, Matthew Fleming Jan 2001

Supreme Court Voting Behavior: 1999 Term, Richard G. Wilkins, Scott Worthington, Rachelle Fleming, Matthew Fleming

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

This Study, the fourteenth in a series, tabulates and analyzes the voting behavior of the United States Supreme Court during the 1999 Term. The analysis is designed to determine whether individual Justices and the Court as a whole are voting more "conservatively," more "liberally," or about the same as compared with past Terms. This Term's survey suggests a reversal of the Court's liberal trend over the past two Terms, with conservative movement in six of the ten categories. Specifically, the Court's support of statutory civil rights claims plummeted to an all time low, while the Court exhibited a dramatic conservative …


Tracking In An Era Of Standards: Low-Expectation Classes Meet High-Expectation Laws, Kevin G. Welner Jan 2001

Tracking In An Era Of Standards: Low-Expectation Classes Meet High-Expectation Laws, Kevin G. Welner

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

This article explores racial resegregation of students through the practice of tracking - the grouping of students into separate classrooms pursuant to perceived academic ability. It places tracking within its larger historical context, as a means for white parents to feel secure about their children's education, and presents a review of scholarly literature concerning the characteristics and application tracking. The main body of the article then sets forth recent analyses of data from two school districts, investigating the harmful and segregative effects of tracking. The article ends by examining aspects of tracking that leave it susceptible to legal challenge, considering …


Sexually Explicit Speech, Jerrold J. Kippen Jan 2001

Sexually Explicit Speech, Jerrold J. Kippen

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Despite the title, this Note does not attempt to articulate a defense of sexually explicit speech. Rather, the effort here is to expose current inconsistencies in First Amendment speech doctrine and to argue that those inconsistencies are the result of the excessive, if not wholly improper, weight given to majoritarian morality when evaluating the regulation of non-obscence sexually explicit speech. Thus, this Note will argue that the Supreme Court's treatment of non-obscene sexually explicit speech in the form of licensing, zoning and nudity regulations has weakened the scrutiny applied to all speech regulations. The Note concludes that, because the assesment …


The Marlboro Man's Secret Versus The Public Health: Trade Secrets And Unconstitutional Takings In Phillip Morris V. Reilly, Melanie Tang Jan 2001

The Marlboro Man's Secret Versus The Public Health: Trade Secrets And Unconstitutional Takings In Phillip Morris V. Reilly, Melanie Tang

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Trade secrets have traditionally been considered to be property interests under the law protected by the Fifth Amendment. However, in a series of decisions finding a Massachusetts tobacco product disclosure law to be unconstitutional, the Massachusetts district court departed from established Fifth Amendment takings case law, setting a precedent for successful "regulatory takings" challenges by private companies to public health, welfare, and safety laws. This Note discusses the novel interpretation of a property owner's reasonable investment-backed expectations advanced by the Phillip Morris holdings in contravention to Ruckelshaus v. Monsanto, as x ell as the misguided analysis of the character of …


Vultures And Lambs: A Journey Through Protective Services For The Texas Elderly., Christopher J. Pettit Jan 2001

Vultures And Lambs: A Journey Through Protective Services For The Texas Elderly., Christopher J. Pettit

St. Mary's Law Journal

The Texas system leaves the elderly and disabled vulnerable to financial vultures. Despite guardianship and pre-planning processes meant to empower elderly and disabled Texans to choose who shall manage their affairs, the Texas system may give a financial vulture access to the elderly or disabled’s accounts. Texas agencies such as Adult Protective Services’ purpose is to stop the abuse of the elderly, however, the agency is sometimes used as a tool to circumvent the stated wishes of an elderly person. For example, a person seeking to exploit an elderly person may do so by simply filing charges with Adult Protective …


Toward U.S. Acceptance Of The International Criminal Court, Bruce Broomhall Jan 2001

Toward U.S. Acceptance Of The International Criminal Court, Bruce Broomhall

Law and Contemporary Problems

The US would be undermining its own interests by insisting on insulation of its personnel as the price for its toleration or support for the International Criminal Court. Broomhall argues that the US ought, in its own interest, to lay the foundations for eventually supporting the ICC, notwithstanding the potential (albeit remote) risk of investigation of its nationals.


A Suggestion On Suggestion, Richard D. Friedman, Stephen J. Ceci Jan 2001

A Suggestion On Suggestion, Richard D. Friedman, Stephen J. Ceci

Articles

Part I of the full article briefly describes the history and current slate of research into children's suggestibility. In this part, we argue that, although psychological researchers disagree considerably over the degree to which he suggestibility of young children may lead to false allegations of sexual abuse, there is an overwhelming consensus that children are suggestible to a degree that, we believe, must be regarded as significant. In presenting this argument, we respond to the contentions of revisionist scholars, particularly those recently expressed by Professor Lyon. We show that there is good reason to believe the use of highly suggestive …


How To Talk About Religion, James Boyd White Jan 2001

How To Talk About Religion, James Boyd White

Articles

Our experience, supported we think by that of others, is that it is most difficult to do this well, whether we are trying to talk about religion within a discipline, such as law or psychology or anthropology, or even in more informal ways, with our friends and colleagues. There are many reasons for this: It is in the nature of religious experience to be ineffable or mysterious, at least for some people or in some religions; different religions imagine the world and its human inhabitants, and their histories, in ways that are enormously different; and there is no superlanguage into …

When Did The Constitution Become Law, Gary S. Lawson Jan 2001

When Did The Constitution Become Law, Gary S. Lawson

Faculty Scholarship

Conventional wisdom and Supreme Court doctrine hold that the federal Constitution became legally effective on March 4, 1789, when the first session of Congress began. This conclusion is wrong, or at least seriously incomplete. Evidence from the Constitution, its adoption, and contemporaneous understandings reflected in treaties, statutes, and state constitutions demonstrates that the Constitution did not have a single effective date. Instead, different parts of the Constitution took effect in stages, beginning on June 21, 1788, when New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify the document, and continuing at least until April 30, 1789, when President Washington was sworn …


Class Action Advice In The Form Of Questions, Edward H. Cooper Jan 2001

Class Action Advice In The Form Of Questions, Edward H. Cooper

Articles

The opportunity to offer advice to those who are considering the adoption or modification of class or group action procedures for other legal systems is both welcome and distracting. It is welcome because it forces a change of perspective in the attempt to contemplate adaptation of United States practice to different cultures, political structures, substantive laws, and courts with dissimilar surrounding procedures. It is distracting because there are so many different levels of possible comparison that the choice of perspective must be tailored to the immediate occasion. It is tempting to take on the most important sets of questions-for example, …


Race, Peremptories, And Capital Jury Deliberations, Samuel R. Gross Jan 2001

Race, Peremptories, And Capital Jury Deliberations, Samuel R. Gross

Articles

In Lonnie Weeks's capital murder trial in Virginia in 1993, the jury was instructed: If you find from the evidence that the Commonwealth has proved beyond a reasonable doubt, either of the two alternative aggravating factors], and as to that alternative you are unanimous, then you may fix the punishment of the defendant at death or if you believe from all the evidence that the death penalty is not justified, then you shall fix the punishment of the defendant at life imprisonment ... This instruction is plainly ambiguous, at least to a lay audience. Does it mean that if the …


1977 Code Of Ethics For Arbitrators: An Outside Perspective, The Symposium: Ethics In A World Of Mandatory Arbitration, John D. Feerick Jan 2001

1977 Code Of Ethics For Arbitrators: An Outside Perspective, The Symposium: Ethics In A World Of Mandatory Arbitration, John D. Feerick

Faculty Scholarship

If ADR is to remain a vibrant part of the judicial landscape, it is essential that efforts further shape ethical standards and guidelines, as well as their practical connotations. The framers of the United States Constitution were very careful to establish a public justice system comprised of judges and juries operating within a framework of standards and protections designed to assure justice and fairness while simultaneously promoting public confidence. We should give similar care to developing processes through which we purportedly intend to accomplish similar objectives in resolving disputes and controversies. At the very least, the private nature of these …
