An Empirical Assessment Of Georgia’S Beyond A Reasonable Doubt Standard To Determine Intellectual Disability In Capital Cases, Lauren Sudeall Lucas May 2017

An Empirical Assessment Of Georgia’S Beyond A Reasonable Doubt Standard To Determine Intellectual Disability In Capital Cases, Lauren Sudeall Lucas

Georgia State University Law Review

In Atkins v. Virginia, the Supreme Court held that execution of people with intellectual disabilities violates the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. In doing so, the Court explicitly left to the states the question of which procedures would be used to identify such defendants as exempt from the death penalty. More than a decade before Atkins, Georgia was the first state to bar execution of people with intellectual disability. Yet, of the states that continue to impose the death penalty as a punishment for capital murder, Georgia is the only state that requires capital defendants …


A Promise Unfulfilled: Challenges To Georgia’S Death Penalty Statute Post-Furman, William Cody Newsome May 2017

A Promise Unfulfilled: Challenges To Georgia’S Death Penalty Statute Post-Furman, William Cody Newsome

Georgia State University Law Review

In Furman v. Georgia, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed with Furman’s counsel. Three Justices agreed that Georgia law, as applied, was arbitrary and potentially discriminatory. Moreover, one Justice challenged the value of the death penalty and doubted it served any of the alleged purposes for which it was employed.

Although many challenges subsequent to Furman have been raised and arguably resolved by the Court, the underlying challenges raised by Furman appear to remain prevalent with the Court. Justice Breyer recently echoed the concurring opinions of Furman in his dissenting opinion from Glossip v. Gross, when he stated: “In …

The Dodd-Frank Solution To Predatory Lending, Marko Stojkovic

Public Interest Law Reporter

This Article is part two of a two-part series exploring the dangers of predatory lending and how Dodd-Frank and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") have solved predatory lending and ended the possibility of another subprime debacle. Part one covered how predatory lending harmed minority, low-income, and immigrant communities, and was a main cause of the 2008 economic collapse. Part two will show how the CFPB was built to stop and prevent predatory lending and another subprime debacle. The enactment and implementation of Dodd-Frank and the CFPB have improved the mortgage market. However, politicians and lawmakers, notably President Donald Trump …

The American Dream After War: Veterans' Accessibility To A Higher Education Through The Post-9/11 Gi Bill, Maha Sadek Jan 2017

The American Dream After War: Veterans' Accessibility To A Higher Education Through The Post-9/11 Gi Bill, Maha Sadek

Public Interest Law Reporter

The Post-9/11 Veterans' Educational Assistance Act of 2008 ("Post-9/11 GI Bill") went into-effect in 2009. Since 2013, about 800,000 service men and women have taken advantage of their Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, and 80% of GI Bill spending is attributed to the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Though educational benefits are provided, at varying rates to veterans who served after September 10, 2001, about 26% of veterans aged 25 or older have a bachelor's degree compared to 28% of the total population. There are several factors that contribute to veteran's attainability of a degree including adjusting to life outside of the military …

Tradition And Culture In Africa: Practices That Facilitate Trafficking Of Women And Children, Norah Hashim Msuya Jan 2017

Tradition And Culture In Africa: Practices That Facilitate Trafficking Of Women And Children, Norah Hashim Msuya

Dignity: A Journal of Analysis of Exploitation and Violence

Many states in Africa have adopted legislative, administrative and institutional measures to combat trafficking in human beings. These measures include, among other things, the formulation and implementation of both national and regional action plans by African states to provide for comprehensive and coordinated interventions. Many African countries have also enacted an anti-trafficking legislation at the country level. Despite these measures, African women and children have been trafficked annually worldwide for purposes of forced labor, sexual exploitation, and domestic servitude. Additionally, women and children are trafficked within their countries from rural to urban areas. Misconception and abuse of African tradition and …


The President's Role In Advancing Criminal Justice Reform, Barack Obama Jan 2017

The President's Role In Advancing Criminal Justice Reform, Barack Obama

United States Department of Justice: Publications and Materials

Criminal justice is a complex system, administered at all levels of government and shaped by a range of actors. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of so many in my Administration, the bipartisan push for reform from federal, state, and local officials, and the work of so many committed citizens outside government, America has made important strides. We have reduced overlong sentences for offenders and removed barriers for those with criminal records. We have made progress in helping people, especially young people, avoid getting entangled in the justice system in the first place. This Commentary talks about those achievements — and …
