Reconsidering Substantive Canons, Anita S. Krishnakumar

Faculty Publications

This paper provides the first empirical study of the Roberts Court’s use of substantive canons in its statutory interpretation cases. Based on data from 295 statutory interpretation cases decided by the Roberts Court during its first six-and-a-half terms, the paper argues that much of the conventional wisdom about substantive canons of statutory construction is wrong, or at least overstated with respect to the modern Supreme Court. Substantive canons — such as the rule of lenity, the avoidance canon, or the presumption against extraterritorial application of domestic laws — have long been criticized as undemocratic judge-made rules that defeat congressional intent, …

(Excerpt)

Cults and their connection with human trafficking are ever more timely as a topic of discussion. The insidious crime of human trafficking is spiraling at a fast pace.

One Decade Later: Florida's Stand Your Ground Law Alive And Well, Shahabudeen Khan

Faculty Scholarship

“I feel paranoid all the time.”1 That is how a seventeen-year old black varsity high school basketball player from Lauderhill, Florida expressed his emotions after a Lauderhill police officer ordered him and his friends to the ground for no apparent reason.2 Imagine living life in one of the most developed, wealthiest nations in the world with such fear. As a minority law professor, I share the same feelings, and often wonder whether I am next. However, that would be too egocentric. What of those who have suffered or lost lives; those who must face paranoia as an ill-fated …
