A New Look At The Original Meaning Of The Diversity Clause, Mark Moller
A New Look At The Original Meaning Of The Diversity Clause, Mark Moller
William & Mary Law Review
Must a federal court have obtained the power to bind a party before her citizenship becomes relevant to diversity jurisdiction? For a long time conventional wisdom has assumed the answer is “no”: Congress can authorize diversity jurisdiction based on the citizenship of persons who, although currently beyond the court’s power to bind, might later join the suit. Congress, in turn, has acted on this assumption. Key provisions of the most ambitious, and controversial, expansion of diversity jurisdiction in the last decade, the 2005 Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA), hinge diversity jurisdiction on the citizenship of persons conventionally believed beyond a …
The End Of Citizenship?, Jonathan Weinberg
The End Of Citizenship?, Jonathan Weinberg
Michigan Law Review
Part I of this Review challenges his view that the value of American citizenship is in decline. Part II critiques his discussion of the lines drawn by citizenship law-who is or can become a citizen-and what those lines mean for the nature of citizenship in the modem age.

Part III discusses the meaning of citizenship, and the basis for citizenship and immigration exclusions, in the context …

Transnational Families In Crisis: An Analysis Of The Domestic Violence Rule In E.U. Free Movement Law, Adam Weiss
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Essay analyzes a concrete rule of European law that has emerged to address the problem of domestic violence within certain transnational families.

Member States.6 The rule affects the rights of a discrete group: non-E.U. ("third-country national") family members of migrant E.U. citizens, that is, E.U. citizens who have moved to another E.U. Member State (the "host State") to exercise residence rights there. …
The Shifting Border Of Immigration Regulation, Ayelet Shachar
The Shifting Border Of Immigration Regulation, Ayelet Shachar
Michigan Journal of International Law
While American immigration law is still largely informed by the doctrine of plenary power, which holds that "[a]dmission to the United States is a privilege granted by the sovereign" (as the Supreme Court asserted in Knauff more than fifty years ago), what has dramatically changed in recent years is the location of "our gates," which no longer stand at the country's territorial edges. Instead, the border itself has become a moving barrier, a legal construct that is not tightly fixed to territorial benchmarks. This shifting border of immigration regulation, as we might call it, is selectively utilized by national …
