An Ohio Dilemma: Race, Equal Protection, And The Unfulfilled Promise Of A State Bill Of Rights, Jonathan L. Entin
An Ohio Dilemma: Race, Equal Protection, And The Unfulfilled Promise Of A State Bill Of Rights, Jonathan L. Entin
Cleveland State Law Review
Race was a central issue in Ohio from the very beginning. The original state constitution of 1802 and the successor constitution of 1851 explicitly limited suffrage to whites even as both documents forbade slavery. Moreover, the legislature imposed various legal disabilities and restrictions on African Americans. For much of the Nineteenth Century, however, the Ohio Supreme Court tried to narrow the scope of those restrictions by developing a distinctive jurisprudence that was in some respects more progressive, and in general less obnoxious, than that developed in other states and by the U.S. Supreme Court. Before the end of the century, …
Of Disunity And Logrolling: Ohio's One-Subject Rule And The Very Evils It Was Designed To Prevent, Stephanie Hoffer, Travis Mcdade
Of Disunity And Logrolling: Ohio's One-Subject Rule And The Very Evils It Was Designed To Prevent, Stephanie Hoffer, Travis Mcdade
Cleveland State Law Review
This article looks at the one-subject rule's history and significant jurisprudence with particular note of any rules that can be determined. Next, we address the court's use of the rule in the controversial case of State ex rel. Ohio Academy of Trial Lawyers v. Sheward. Finally, we look at Amended Substitute Senate Bill No. 281-recently passed by the Ohio General Assembly-to determine if it will pass one-subject muster under recent jurisprudence.
The Gang's All Here: Anti-Loitering Laws In The Face Of City Of Chicago V. Morales, Robert Delchin
The Gang's All Here: Anti-Loitering Laws In The Face Of City Of Chicago V. Morales, Robert Delchin
Cleveland State Law Review
This Comment examines Morales and the Court's treatment of anti-gang loitering statutes under the vagueness doctrine. Part II examines the City of Chicago's attempt to tackle the problem of gangs terrorizing its citizens and how the Illinois courts dealt with the ordinance. Part III then examines the reasons for the United States Supreme Court invalidating the ordinance, with equal emphasis placed on all the Justice's opinions. Part IV then analyzes the implications of the Court's decision, criticizing the plurality's creation of a fimdamental right to loiter and demonstrating how the ordinance survives a vagueness challenge.
The Indians' Chief Problem: Chief Wahoo As State Sponsored Discrimination And A Disparaging Mark, Jack Achiezer Guggenheim
The Indians' Chief Problem: Chief Wahoo As State Sponsored Discrimination And A Disparaging Mark, Jack Achiezer Guggenheim
Cleveland State Law Review
This article traces the history of the Cleveland Indians and Chief Wahoo. It then suggests and assesses two methods by which the Chief Wahoo emblem may be legally challenged. The first method is to assert that Chief Wahoo, as used in Jacob's Field, is state sponsored discrimination. As such it could be challenged as a violation of equal protection or as racist speech. Alternatively, in addition to proving that the teams' actions should be deemed state actions, a new theory asserting that discriminatory state speech is a violation of the First Amendment could be advanced. Another method by which the …
The History Of The One-Subject Rule Of The Ohio Constitution, John J. Kulewicz
The History Of The One-Subject Rule Of The Ohio Constitution, John J. Kulewicz
Cleveland State Law Review
One hundred and forty-seven years after its adoption, the one-subject rule of the Ohio Constitution continues to generate debate. What emerges from its origin at the 1850-1851 Ohio Constitutional Convention, its early application in the Pim decision and its survival at the 1873-1874 Ohio Constitutional Convention, however, are the principles that the purpose of the rule is (1) to notify legislators of the content of bills on which they vote after having dispensed with the required reading; and (2) to avoid the joinder of unrelated measures that could not win separate support during the legislative process. The one-subject clause thus …
National Minimum Drinking Age Act Of 1984: Once Again Congress Mails Home Another Fist, Kevin Kadlec
National Minimum Drinking Age Act Of 1984: Once Again Congress Mails Home Another Fist, Kevin Kadlec
Cleveland State Law Review
This Note will examine the federal interest as it conflicts with the states' interest in setting their own drinking ages, which are derived from section two of the twenty-first amendment and the tenth amendment, respectively. This conflict is given sharper focus when examined in the context of Supreme Court tests and balancing measures developed in recent decades in these constitutional arenas. A controversy has arisen because of the congressional imposition of a national minimum drinking age on the states through coercive withholding of federal funds. It is the purpose of this Note to examine the controversy created by the Drinking …
Local Hire And The State-Market-Participant Doctrine: A Trojan Horse For The Commerce Power Of Congress, Charles H. Clarke
Local Hire And The State-Market-Participant Doctrine: A Trojan Horse For The Commerce Power Of Congress, Charles H. Clarke
Cleveland State Law Review
"Local hire" laws require that when units of local government hire employees a preference be given to residents of the governmental unit. These laws affect employees directly hired by the city or state, as well as employees hired by private contractors to do construction work. Naturally, this employment preference for residents discriminates against those who do not reside within the city or state. Nonresidents, however, are afforded extensive protection against discrimination by states and their political subdivisions by two clauses of the Constitution: the commerce clause and the interstate privileges and immunities, or comity, clause. This Article will analyze the …

Federalism And Federal Regulation Of Public Employers: The Implications Of National League Of Cities V. Usery, W. Harding Drane
Cleveland State Law Review
The purpose of this Note is to examine the limits of the federal commerce power when applied to the states as states, using as a focal point, the controversies which have arisen in the application of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA).
