Substituted Service And The Hague Service Convention, William S. Dodge
Substituted Service And The Hague Service Convention, William S. Dodge
William & Mary Law Review
State law plays a surprisingly large role in transnational litigation, and how it defines the applicability of the Hague Service Convention is an important example. In Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft v. Schlunk, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Convention does not apply when, under state law, service of process is made within the United States. In Schlunk, Illinois law permitted substituted service on the U.S. subsidiary of a foreign parent company, so the Convention did not apply. This Article looks at substituted service under state law today and when it permits avoidance of the Hague Convention. The Article focuses …
Weighing Pain: How The Harm Of Immigration Detention Must Be Factored In Custody Decisions, Linus Chan
Weighing Pain: How The Harm Of Immigration Detention Must Be Factored In Custody Decisions, Linus Chan
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice
The United States is currently in the midst of a “third wave of potential pretrial detention reform.” And while certain reforms are gaining traction in an effort to reduce pretrial criminal detention, efforts to do the same for immigration detention have lagged. Reformers and abolitionists make the case that immigration detention needs to be either restricted or eliminated entirely. Nonetheless, the number of people held in detention for immigration purposes rises year after year. Not only do the numbers of people in immigration detention grow, but the systems in place have grown less concerned with the harsh consequences of detention …
Jury Bias Resulting In Indefinite Commitment: Expanding Procedural Protections In Svp Civil Commitment Proceedings Under The Mathews Test, Alli M. Mentch
Jury Bias Resulting In Indefinite Commitment: Expanding Procedural Protections In Svp Civil Commitment Proceedings Under The Mathews Test, Alli M. Mentch
William & Mary Law Review
Twenty states, the District of Columbia, and the federal government have enacted Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) laws that permit the civil commitment of sex offenders. Under these laws, imprisoned sex offenders serving criminal sentences are transferred to treatment facilities and held indefinitely. As one individual describes civil commitment, “It’s worse than prison. In prison I wasn’t happy, but I was content because I knew I had a release date.” An estimated 5,400 individuals are currently civilly committed under these laws.
This Note argues that such laws do not adequately protect respondents’ due process rights. To that end, this Note proposes …

Kaestner Fails: The Way Forward, Mitchell M. Gans
Kaestner Fails: The Way Forward, Mitchell M. Gans
William & Mary Business Law Review
This past term, the Supreme Court applied the Due Process Clause to prevent the states from closing down a tax strategy that employs out-of-state trusts. Many had hoped that the case would serve as a vehicle for the Court to overrule taxpayer-friendly precedents that make the strategy possible. But it failed. The question that emerges is whether the decision leaves the states with a path to address the strategy and thereby prevent it from being used to exacerbate issues of inequality. After examining the decision, this Article considers the options available to the states and then suggests a way forward.

The Epistemic Function Of Fusing Equal Protection And Due Process, Deborah Hellman
The Epistemic Function Of Fusing Equal Protection And Due Process, Deborah Hellman
William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal
The fusion of equal protection and due process has attracted significant attention with scholars offering varied accounts of its purpose and function. Some see the combination as productive, creating a constitutional violation that neither clause would generate alone. Others see the combination as merely strategic, offered to make a claim acceptable at a particular historical moment but not genuinely necessary. This Article offers a third alternative. Judges have and should bring both equal protection and due process together to learn what each clause independently requires. On this Epistemic vision of constitutional fusion, a focus on equality helps judges learn what …
Time To Prune The Flora--Procedural Due Process, The Full Payment Rule And Assessable Penalties: Larson V. United States, Frank G. Colella
Time To Prune The Flora--Procedural Due Process, The Full Payment Rule And Assessable Penalties: Larson V. United States, Frank G. Colella
William & Mary Business Law Review
In Larson v. United States, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the opportunity to limit the scope of the Flora “full payment” rule when its strict application in the instant case foreclosed judicial review of the underlying tax controversy. As a result, the decision rubberstamped the IRS’s imposition of assessable penalties without any meaningful judicial review of those actions. The Article argues that the court’s decision to blindly apply the full payment rule, without considering any form of a hardship exception, effectively denied John Larson his right to due process of law as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment …

First Amendment Lochnerism & The Origins Of The Incorporation Doctrine, James Y. Stern
First Amendment Lochnerism & The Origins Of The Incorporation Doctrine, James Y. Stern
Faculty Publications
The 20th century emergence of the incorporation doctrine is regarded as a critical development in constitutional law, but while issues related to the doctrine's justification have been studied and debated for more than fifty years, the causes and mechanics of its advent have received relatively little academic attention. This Essay, part of a symposium on Judge Jeffrey Sutton's recent book about state constitutional law, examines the doctrinal origins of incorporation, in an effort to help uncover why the incorporation doctrine emerged when it did and the way it did. It concludes that, for these purposes, incorporation is best understood as …

Competition Policy And The Great Depression: Lessons Learned And A New Way Forward, Alan J. Meese
Competition Policy And The Great Depression: Lessons Learned And A New Way Forward, Alan J. Meese
Alan J. Meese
The recent Great Recession has shaken the nation’s faith in free markets and inspired various forms of actual or proposed regulatory intervention displacing free competition. Proponents of such intervention often claim that such interference with free-market outcomes will help foster economic recovery and thus macroeconomic stability by, for instance, enhancing the “purchasing power” of workers or reducing consumer prices. Such arguments for increased economic centralization echo those made during the Great Depression, when proponents of regulatory intervention claimed that such interference with economic liberty and free competition, including suspension of the antitrust laws, was necessary to foster economic recovery. Indeed, …

The Legal Dilemma Of Guantanamo Detainees From Bush To Obama, Linda A. Malone
The Legal Dilemma Of Guantanamo Detainees From Bush To Obama, Linda A. Malone
Linda A. Malone
The stage for the Guantanamo detainees’ commission proceedings was set by the interplay between the Executive’s detention powers and the Judiciary’s habeas powers. The Bush administration turned to Congress to provide less than what was required by the court, instead of the minimum deemed necessary to comply with each decision, or to explore another legal argument for not complying. This article examines how the law for the Guantanamo detainees has been shaped by the US courts and by Congress. The article begins by observing the guidelines issued by the Supreme Court for compliance with the constitutional and humanitarian law requirements, …

No Arbitrary Power: An Originalist Theory Of The Due Process Of Law, Randy E. Barnett, Evan D. Bernick
No Arbitrary Power: An Originalist Theory Of The Due Process Of Law, Randy E. Barnett, Evan D. Bernick
William & Mary Law Review
“Due process of law” is arguably the most controversial and frequently litigated phrase in the Constitution of the United States. Although the dominant originalist view has long been that the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process of Law Clauses are solely “process” guarantees that do not constrain the content or “substance” of legislation at all, originalist scholars have in recent years made fresh inquiries into the historical evidence and concluded that there is a weighty case for some form of substantive due process. In this Article, we review and critique those findings, employing our theory of good-faith originalist interpretation and …

Restroom Use, Civil Rights, And Free Speech "Opportunism", Timothy Zick
Restroom Use, Civil Rights, And Free Speech "Opportunism", Timothy Zick
Faculty Publications
Commentators have expressed concerns that litigants are invoking the First Amendment's Free Speech Clause strategically, in order to compensate for the weakness or futility of other constitutional claims. The phenomenon has been given a label- "opportunism "-and scholars have examined some of its causes and consequences. This Article takes a closer and somewhat skeptical look at the concept offree speech "opportunism." It imagines that the Free Speech Clause will be invoked in challenges to laws or policies that restrict public restroom use based on a person's gender. Would such challenges be "opportunistic, " as the term has been defined? What …

State And Local Procedural Injustices In Environmental Regulation: The Experiences Of Tallevast, Florida, Brett M. Paben
State And Local Procedural Injustices In Environmental Regulation: The Experiences Of Tallevast, Florida, Brett M. Paben
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
Government decisions made at the local and state level are those that most often directly affect communities. Participatory and procedural protections under state and local, rather than federal law, therefore, largely control the ability of grassroots environmental justice advocates to shape government decisions important to their communities. Thus, significant disparities in the standards of procedural justice differ not only by which state an environmental justice community happens to be located in, but also by the type of local government with authority over that community. Frequently, this diminishes the empowerment efforts of communities found in unincorporated areas. The community found in …
