Textualism And The Administrative Procedure Act, Kristin E. Hickman, Mark R. Thomson
Textualism And The Administrative Procedure Act, Kristin E. Hickman, Mark R. Thomson
Notre Dame Law Review
In recent years, the Supreme Court occasionally has applied a more limited approach to textualist reasoning that, if applied to the APA, could expand the perceived gulf between textualism and existing administrative law doctrine. Our purpose with this Essay is to explore the implications of this trend for APA interpretation, particularly as it might apply to agency rulemaking. We do not purport to address critics of textualism as an interpretive methodology; we speak primarily to those who are persuaded of textualism’s merits. We also will not try to resolve all the many disagreements about textualism’s variations or the APA’s meaning. …
Making Sense Of Absence: Interpreting The Apa’S Failure To Provide For Court Review Of Presidential Administration, Noah A. Rosenblum
Making Sense Of Absence: Interpreting The Apa’S Failure To Provide For Court Review Of Presidential Administration, Noah A. Rosenblum
Notre Dame Law Review
Federal governance is increasingly characterized by presidential direction of administration. Yet the main statute that governs court review of administrative action, the Administrative Procedure Act, has strikingly little to say about the President.
This Essay seeks to make sense of this absence. It uses a brief survey of historical materials from the new Bremer-Kovacs Collection to sound the depths of the Administrative Procedure Act’s silence on the President. It then seeks to explain this omission by reference to contemporaneous discussions of the place of the president in the administrative state. The Essay hypothesizes that, at the time, the presidency was …

Proportionality V. Categorization: The Issue Of Judicial Balancing Of Rights, Akram Mohamed
Theses and Dissertations
The fact that there is a constant conflict between individual rights and state or social interests has historically provoked the question of how to balance or harmonize such conflicting interests? On what basis shall the legislator or the judge decide in favor of this or that right in his legislation or judgement? Where shall we, for example, draw the line between the right to freedom of expression and the right to protect one’s honor and reputation? How could the legislator find the compromise between the state duty to protect fetus life and its obligation not to interfere with woman’s right …
#Metoo In Prison, Jenny-Brooke Condon
#Metoo In Prison, Jenny-Brooke Condon
Washington Law Review
For American women and nonbinary people held in women’s prisons, sexual violence by state actors is, and has always been, part of imprisonment. For centuries within American women’s prisons, state actors have assaulted, traumatized, and subordinated the vulnerable people held there. Twenty years after passage of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), women who are incarcerated still face shocking levels of sexual abuse, harassment, and violence notwithstanding the law and policies that purport to address this harm. These conditions often persist despite officer firings, criminal prosecutions, and civil liability, and remain prevalent even during a #MeToo era that beckons greater …
Oklahoma V. Castro-Huerta, Jurisdictional Overlap, Competitive Sovereign Erosion, And The Fundamental Freedom Of Sovereign Nations, Michael D.O. Rusco
Oklahoma V. Castro-Huerta, Jurisdictional Overlap, Competitive Sovereign Erosion, And The Fundamental Freedom Of Sovereign Nations, Michael D.O. Rusco
Marquette Law Review
In addition to its stunning internal flaws, the United States Supreme Court’s opinion in Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta exemplifies Indian law’s broader flaws as a jurisprudence. Castro-Huerta holds that states have concurrent criminal jurisdiction with federal and tribal governments over crimes by non-Indians against Indians on reservation lands. Justice Gorsuch deftly addresses many of the glaring internal flaws in Kavanaugh’s majority opinion, but not all. He does not dissect the hollow assertion that reservations are part of the surrounding state both geographically and politically. This cannot go unaddressed, particularly given its weak analysis, misguided use of precedent, and broader consequences.
“All We Have To Decide Is What To Do With The Time Given To Us”: Using Concepts Of Narrative Time To Draft More Persuasive Legal Arguments, Jennifer Sheppard
“All We Have To Decide Is What To Do With The Time Given To Us”: Using Concepts Of Narrative Time To Draft More Persuasive Legal Arguments, Jennifer Sheppard
Marquette Law Review
When taught to draft a statement of facts or a statement of the case, law students and new lawyers are often told to “tell a story” and that chronological order is usually the best organizational strategy to use when telling that story. While much has been written in recent years on how to draft a story in the legal context, little scholarship is devoted to how to draft a story using chronology or how a lawyer can shape and manipulate time within a story to better advocate for a client. Legal scholars seem to think that the use of chronology …
Game On—Copyrighted Tattoos In Video Games As Fair Use, Emilie Smith
Game On—Copyrighted Tattoos In Video Games As Fair Use, Emilie Smith
Marquette Law Review
With its fact-intensive inquiries and limited bright-line rules, copyright law is known for its ambiguity, and courts often differ in their interpretations of various doctrines. The fair use doctrine is no different, and was in fact designed to grant courts discretion in making their determinations, all with the aim of maintaining the true purpose of the copyright law. Recent technologies and popularized forms of art only complicate things, adding rougher terrain to an already confusing landscape.
Partisan Gerrymandering: The Promise And Limits Of State Court Judicial Review, Norman R. Williams
Partisan Gerrymandering: The Promise And Limits Of State Court Judicial Review, Norman R. Williams
Marquette Law Review
In 2021, the Oregon Legislature succeeded in redrawing the state’s legislative and congressional districts, but the new redistricting plans were immediately challenged in state court as partisan gerrymanders. The Oregon Supreme Court rejected the challenge to the state legislative map, but its analysis, which accorded significant deference to the legislature’s choices, raised more questions than answers about the appropriate level of scrutiny for state redistricting plans. A special, five-judge court likewise rejected the gerrymandering challenge to the congressional map, and, while its analysis was less deferential, its decision also left unanswered the fundamental question regarding at what point a redistricting …
A Juror’S Religious Freedom Bill Of Rights, Antony Barone Kolenc
A Juror’S Religious Freedom Bill Of Rights, Antony Barone Kolenc
BYU Law Review
The prosecution of Democrat Congresswoman Corrine Brown for campaign corruption was perhaps the most significant and dramatic political trial ever to hit Northeast Florida—and that was before the Holy Spirit showed up and spoke to Juror 13 during deliberations. The Brown case is the springboard for the article’s focus on a juror’s right to religious liberty, one of the nation’s most precious constitutional rights. The Article addresses first principles behind the process of jury selection in the United States, as well as the importance and safeguarding of religious liberty in the U.S. Constitution. It then proposes six tenets to be …
Through The Looking Glass With Alice: The Current Application And Future Of Title Ix In Athletics, Josephine (Jo) R. Potuto
Through The Looking Glass With Alice: The Current Application And Future Of Title Ix In Athletics, Josephine (Jo) R. Potuto
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
This Article is a snapshot of the past pervasive discriminatory treatment of women in athletics and where women athletes and women’s athletics currently stand. It discusses some of the new challenges for Title IX enforcement—-female transgender athletes and treatment of name, image, and likeness revenues now open to college athletes. It reviews research regarding the physiological, hormonal, metabolic, body size and composition, and brain and neurological differences between men and women and how these factors impact both athletic performance and athletic interest. Finally, this Article concludes that the Title IX three-pronged test to assure gender equity in athletic participation opportunities …
Title Ix Vs. Ncaa: A Gameplan For Championship Equity, Leigh E. Friestedt
Title Ix Vs. Ncaa: A Gameplan For Championship Equity, Leigh E. Friestedt
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
In 1972, Congress enacted Title IX of the Education Amendments Act (Title IX) to prohibit sex-based discrimination in “any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” While the original legislation did not stipulate “athletics,” Title IX has had a profound impact on intercollegiate sports by expanding the athletic opportunities for women as a covered “program or activity.” However, fifty years after the enactment of Title IX, there are still significant disparities between men’s and women’s intercollegiate athletics, most notably at the high-profile National College Athletics Association (NCAA or Association) Championships.
In 2021, the NCAA hosted the men’s and women’s …

Beneath The Property Taxes Financing Education, Timothy M. Mulvaney
Beneath The Property Taxes Financing Education, Timothy M. Mulvaney
Faculty Scholarship
Many states turn in sizable part to local property taxes to finance public education. Political and academic discourse on the extent to which these taxes should serve in this role largely centers on second-order issues, such as the vices and virtues of local control, the availability of mechanisms to redistribute property tax revenues across school districts, and the overall stability of those revenues. This Essay contends that such discourse would benefit from directing greater attention to the justice of the government’s threshold choices about property law and policy that impact the property values against which property taxes are levied.

Forum Fights And Fundamental Rights: Amenability’S Distorted Frame, James P. George
Forum Fights And Fundamental Rights: Amenability’S Distorted Frame, James P. George
Faculty Scholarship
Framing—the subtle use of context to suggest a conclusion—is a dubious alternative to direct argumentation. Both the brilliance and the bane of marketing, framing also creeps into supposedly objective analysis. Law offers several examples, but a lesser known one is International Shoe’s two-part jurisdictional test. The framing occurs in the underscoring of defendant’s due process rights contrasted with plaintiff’s “interests” which are often dependent on governmental interests. This equation ignores, both rhetorically and analytically, the injured party’s centuries-old rights to—not interests in—a remedy in an open and adequate forum.
Even within the biased frame, the test generally works, if not …
The Nagging In Our Ears And Original Public Meaning, Perry Dane
The Nagging In Our Ears And Original Public Meaning, Perry Dane
Marquette Law Review
The debate over how to understand the meaning of legal texts once pitted intentionalism against a variety of other views united by the conviction that a legal enactment takes on a meaning not reducible to anybody’s mental state. Both these approaches are supported by powerful intuitions. This Article does not try to referee between them. Instead, it takes aim at a third set of views— theories of “original public meaning”—that in recent decades has upended the traditional debate and has now become gospel for the new majority on the United States Supreme Court.
Telegraph Torts: The Lost Lineage Of The Public Service Corporation, Evelyn Atkinson
Telegraph Torts: The Lost Lineage Of The Public Service Corporation, Evelyn Atkinson
Michigan Law Review
At the turn of the twentieth century, state courts were roiled by claims against telegraph corporations for mental anguish resulting from the failure to deliver telegrams involving the death or injury of a family member. Although these “telegraph cases” at first may seem a bizarre outlier, they in fact reveal an important and understudied moment of transformation in the nature of the relationship between the corporation and the public: the role of affective relations in the development of the category of the public utility corporation. Even as powerful corporations were recast as private, rights-bearing, profit-making market actors in constitutional law, …
The Shared Ethical Framework To Allocate Scarce Medical Resources: A Lesson From Covid-19, Ezekiel J. Emanuel, Govind C. Persad
The Shared Ethical Framework To Allocate Scarce Medical Resources: A Lesson From Covid-19, Ezekiel J. Emanuel, Govind C. Persad
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
The COVID-19 pandemic has helped to clarify the fair and equitable allocation of scarce medical resources, both within and among countries. The ethical allocation of such resources entails a three-step process: (1) elucidating the fundamental ethical values for allocation, (2) using these values to delineate priority tiers for scarce resources, and (3) implementing the prioritisation to faithfully realise the fundamental values. Myriad reports and assessments have elucidated five core substantive values for ethical allocation: maximising benefits and minimising harms, mitigating unfair disadvantage, equal moral concern, reciprocity, and instrumental value. These values are universal. None of the values are sufficient alone, …

This Article focuses on bankruptcy opinions issued by the Supreme Court of the United States and the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Topics addressed include constitutionality of the 2017 U.S. Trustee quarterly fee increase; statutory mootness under 11 U.S.C. § 363(m); retroactive application of § 505(a)(2)(C); exemption of traditional and Roth IRAs from a debtor’s bankruptcy estate; scope of “claim” under § 101(5); effect of post-petition transfers on the new value preference defense; scope of the fiduciary capacity exception from discharge of § 523(a)(4); and errors in debtor’s name in a financing statement.
Federal Income Taxation, Andrew Todd
Federal Income Taxation, Andrew Todd
Mercer Law Review
In 2022, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit issued two published opinions involving U.S. federal income tax issues. The first opinion, Sarma v. Commissioner, addressed procedural issues arising under the unified partnership audit procedures that were added to the Internal Revenue Code by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA). The second opinion, Kroner v. Commissioner, addressed an issue of first impression in this circuit concerning supervisory review of tax penalties. This Article surveys both of those opinions.
“I’Ll Give You My Trust Assets, When You Pry Them From My Cold, Dead Hands”: The Supreme Court Of Georgia Clarifies That A Mere Challenge To A Trust’S Formation Will Not Trigger An In Terrorem Clause, Kiana Johnson
Mercer Law Review
Imagine a television infomercial wakes you up from your sleep. While refocusing your vision, you faintly hear the television say: “Are you a disgruntled beneficiary?” You think to yourself, “I’m not disgruntled, but I sure wish I could have more money.” You are slightly intrigued, so you crank up the volume on the television, and the infomercial emphatically states, “Do you believe you are entitled to ‘ill-gotten gains’?” You think to yourself, “I have no idea what ill-gotten gains are.” I just want ownership over the assets I —.”

The Establishment Of A Unified Asean Monetary System Following The European Model: Is It Legally Feasible?, James Keith C. Heffron
Center for Business Research and Development
For the last several decades, the drive towards globalization has influenced most of the world’s economic and fiscal direction. Regional cooperation therefore is a natural step towards this thrust. For many years, many sectors have been clamoring for a unified monetary system in the ASEAN patterned after the European Monetary System, the same system that gave birth to the Euro – the European Union’s regional currency. The main benefit of having a regional unified monetary system is price and currency stability. This in turn would result to an accelerated economic growth in the region especially in developing members such as …

In its 2022 term, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit issued several opinions on evidence. The opinions covered evidentiary issues ranging from admitting statements by criminal defendants under Miranda, the admission of expert and lay opinion testimony, the use of character evidence under Federal Rule of Evidence 404, and the admission of hearsay evidence based on exceptions under Rule 803. The discussion below explores these evidentiary issues and how the Eleventh Circuit addressed them in its 2022 term.

Game, Set, …Tie? The Eleventh Circuit Gives Courts Discretion To Refrain From Choosing A Prevailing Party, Tessa Sizemore
Mercer Law Review
During the National Football League’s (NFL) 2022 opening week, the Houston Texans game versus the Indianapolis Colts ended in a tie after an impressive fourth-quarter comeback by the Colts. This is only the nineteenth opening week tie in NFL history. Much like that Texans-Colts game, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit hosted a legal dispute which ended in a tie this year. While the American legal system is no game, it is certainly a surprise when our adversarial system produces a legal result with no winner.

Ready. Aim. Fire! The Eleventh Circuit Takes Its Shot At The Second Amendment’S Application To Illegal Aliens, Elizabeth Mcdaniel
Mercer Law Review
The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit was faced with a constitutional question involving the People and the Second Amendment of the Constitution in United States v. Jimenez-Shilon. The issue was whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(A), (the Statute) which prohibits illegal aliens from possessing firearms, violates the Second Amendment. Relying on the historical context of the Constitution and prior Supreme Court caselaw concerning the Second Amendment, the Eleventh Circuit held it does not. While this case was one of first impression in the Eleventh Circuit, the constitutionality of the Statute has now been litigated in nine …
