Combating Cyberbullying: Emphasizing Education Over Criminalization, Jessica P. Meredith Dec 2010

Combating Cyberbullying: Emphasizing Education Over Criminalization, Jessica P. Meredith

Federal Communications Law Journal

The advent of new technologies such as social media websites like MySpace and Facebook have increased the methods through which bullying takes form and causes harm to children and teenagers. As the public has become more aware of the dangers of this new form of bullying, cyberbullying, legislators have responded by proposing legislation to criminalize this type of behavior with varying degrees of success. This Note explains the problem of cyberbullying and evaluates state and federal legislative efforts to combat the issue through criminalization, then argues that prevention through education will be the most effective solution. Unlike criminalization, educational initiatives …

Preschooler Ii V. Clark County School Board Of Trustees: A Closer Look At Application Of Qualified Immunity In Public School Districts, Rachael Crim

Golden Gate University Law Review

During the 2002-2003 school year, the mother of a pre-school aged, non-verbal, autistic child became concerned when her child came home with unexplained bruises and began exhibiting violent behavior. The mother brought an action on behalf of herself and her child seeking relief under the Individuals with Disabilities Act ("IDEA"), Americans with Disabilities Act, and claimed constitutional violations under Section 1983. In Preschooler II v. Clark County School Board of Trustees, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held: 1) teacher's alleged conduct in beating, slapping, and head-slamming child violated Fourth Amendment rights for purposes of a …


Parental Due Process: Fields V. Palmdale School District, Roxana M. Smith Oct 2010

Parental Due Process: Fields V. Palmdale School District, Roxana M. Smith

Golden Gate University Law Review

The Ninth Circuit reaffirmed in Fields v. Palmdale School District that the constitutional "due process right of parents to make decisions regarding their children's education does not" authorize "individual parents to enjoin school boards from providing information" deemed appropriate in the performance of their educational function. The court further held that the parental right of privacy over the upbringing of children does not entitle parents to prohibit public schools from providing curricula about sex which the schools' boards deem educationally appropriate.

Dream Come True Or True Nightmare? The Effect Of Creating Educational Opportunity For Undocumented Youth, Susana Garcia

Golden Gate University Law Review

This Comment analyzes the Development Relief and Education for Alien Minors ("DREAM") Act, which is proposed legislation that provides undocumented immigrant youth an opportunity to achieve higher education and legal status.

Part II demonstrates how state laws are insufficient to overcome some of the barriers that undocumented youth face in attempting to achieve higher education, and how the DREAM Act will help overcome those barriers. Part III of this Comment recommends that Congress should seriously consider the Convention on the Rights of the …

Part II discusses federal policy changes to assessment standards and the ambiguity these changes present. Part Ill examines potential constitutional issues raised by evolving federal assessment requirements under both spending power and federal coercion theories.

Race, Educational Loans & Bankruptcy, Abbye Atkinson Sep 2010

Race, Educational Loans & Bankruptcy, Abbye Atkinson

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

This Article reports new data from the 2007 Consumer Bankruptcy Project revealing that college graduates and specifically White graduates are less likely to file for bankruptcy than their counterparts without a college degree. Although these observations suggest that a college degree helps graduates to weather the setbacks that sometimes lead to financial hardship as measured by bankruptcy, they also indicate that a college degree may not help everyone equally. African American college graduates are equally likely to file for bankruptcy as African Americans without a college degree. Thus, a college education may not confer the same protective benefit against financial …

True North: Navigating For The Transfer Of Learning In Legal Education, Tonya Kowalski Aug 2010

True North: Navigating For The Transfer Of Learning In Legal Education, Tonya Kowalski

Seattle University Law Review

As lifelong learners, we all know the feelings of discomfort and bewilderment that can come from being asked to apply existing skills in a completely new situation. As legal educators, we have also experienced the frustration that comes from watching our students struggle to identify and transfer skills from one learning environment to another. For example, a first-semester law student who learns to analogize case law to a fact pattern in a legal writing problem typically will not see the deeper applications for those skills in a law school essay exam several weeks later. Similarly, when law students learn how …
