Cooperative Federalism, The New Formalism, And The Separation Of Powers Revisited: Free Enterprise Fund And The Problem Of Presidential Oversight Of State-Government Officers Enforcing Federal Law, Ronald J. Krotoszynski Jr. 2012 Duke Law

Cooperative Federalism, The New Formalism, And The Separation Of Powers Revisited: Free Enterprise Fund And The Problem Of Presidential Oversight Of State-Government Officers Enforcing Federal Law, Ronald J. Krotoszynski Jr.

Duke Law Journal

Formalism has returned, displacing the flexible, functionalist separation-of-powers analysis that often characterized the Supreme Court's separation-of-powers decisions during the Rehnquist Court. Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Co. Accounting Oversight Board provides powerful evidence of this emerging trend. Moreover, a reliable majority of the Justices have strongly embraced formalism in other important separation-of-powers decisions as well. A new formalism now appears to govern the Court's contemporary separation-of-powers jurisprudence—with the defenders of more flexible, functional approaches to separation-of-powers questions relegated to writing dissents. The Roberts Court, however, has failed to elucidate fully the precise scope and meaning of its new formalist vision …


The Political Turn In American Administrative Law: Power, Rationality, And Reasons, Jodi L. Short 2012 Duke Law

The Political Turn In American Administrative Law: Power, Rationality, And Reasons, Jodi L. Short

Duke Law Journal

Reason giving is central to U.S. administrative law and practice. Traditionally, courts and scholars alike have located both the constraining and the legitimating force of reasons in the constraining and legitimating force of Reason, or rationality, but several recent developments signal a political turn in understandings of administrative justification. First, in upholding the decision of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to penalize broadcasters for televising "fleeting expletives" in the Fox Television case, the U.S. Supreme Court signaled the diminished importance of reasoned administrative justification and a broadened acceptance of political justifications for changes in agency policy. Second, motivated by …

A Profession, If You Can Keep It: How Information Technology And Fading Borders Are Reshaping The Law Marketplace And What We Should Do About It, Stephen Gillers 2012 UC Law SF

A Profession, If You Can Keep It: How Information Technology And Fading Borders Are Reshaping The Law Marketplace And What We Should Do About It, Stephen Gillers

UC Law Journal

Technology is changing the way we do business. It has made cross-border trade in goods and services easy. Capital is finding ways to profit from the law business. Lawyers strive to serve clients wherever they need help, including outside their jurisdiction of admission. These changes not only affect how American law firms work, they challenge our system for licensing and regulating lawyers. The traditional geocentric model for regulating the bar, based on physical place of practice, is unstable today because lawyers can practice physically in many places and (virtually) in every place, yet no place in particular. The next twenty …


Issue Preclusion Effect Of Class Certification Orders, Antonio Gidi 2012 UC Law SF

Issue Preclusion Effect Of Class Certification Orders, Antonio Gidi

UC Law Journal

This Article addresses the peculiarities of issue preclusion in class action certification, particularly after the approval of the American Law Institute’s Principles of the Law of Aggregate Litigation in 2010 and the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Smith v. Bayer Corp. in 2011. After discussing the reasons why orders that deny class certification cannot have issue preclusive effect, this Article analyzes proposals to address the problem.


Note – Reducing Civil Litigation Costs By Promoting Technological Innovation: Adopting Standards Of Reasonableness In E-Discovery, Kelly Foss 2012 UC Law SF

Note – Reducing Civil Litigation Costs By Promoting Technological Innovation: Adopting Standards Of Reasonableness In E-Discovery, Kelly Foss

UC Law Journal

Discovery costs have ballooned over the last decade, in large part because attorneys must review vast amounts of electronically stored information (“ESI”) for relevancy and privilege and must collect all potentially relevant ESI on which to perform those reviews. Courts can reduce costs associated with reviewing ESI by finding that the use of recently developed search software can be “reasonable” under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(g) and Federal Rule of Evidence 502. Courts also can ultimately reduce costs associated with collecting ESI by taking into account the reasonableness of parties’ prelitigation document-management systems when determining whether to require production …


Eco-Labeling: An Argument For Regulation And Reform, Lauren Sherman 2012 Pomona College

Eco-Labeling: An Argument For Regulation And Reform, Lauren Sherman

Pomona Senior Theses

This thesis analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of various types of eco-labels, focusing primarily on differences between mandatory and voluntary eco-labeling programs. I argue that many of the problems with eco-labeling could be addressed by improving regulations. The current regulation of eco-labeling in the United States is discussed, especially the shortcomings of the FTC’s Green Guides. I recommend creating enforceable national legislation to regulate environmental claims that includes involvement of key stakeholders, a list of acceptable environmental claims, enforceable national definitions of environmental terms, an avenue for manufacturers and consumers to challenge environmental claims, consumer education, and periodic review and …


Call In The Feds: Title Vi As A Diversifying Force In The Collegiate Head Football Coaching Ranks, N. Jeremi Duru 2012 American University Washington College of Law

Call In The Feds: Title Vi As A Diversifying Force In The Collegiate Head Football Coaching Ranks, N. Jeremi Duru

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Over the course of the past decade, the racial complexion of the National Football League's ("NFL's") head coaching ranks has dramatically changed. For the bulk of the NFL's existence, it was virtually impossible for an African American to land a head coaching position. Whether as a result of "old boy" networking or stereotypical suppositions that African Americans lacked the intellectual capacity required to lead, manage, and teach a team of professional football players, African Americans toiled in assistant coaching positions for their entire careers with virtually no hope of ascending to the top spot.' Beginning in December of 2002, however, …


Presidential Control, Expertise, And The Deference Dilemma, Emily Hammond Meazell 2012 Duke Law

Presidential Control, Expertise, And The Deference Dilemma, Emily Hammond Meazell

Duke Law Journal

Courts reviewing agency action frequently point to superior political accountability and expertise as justifying deference to agencies. These fundamentals of deference often operate in tandem, providing distinct but complimentary reasons why courts will not substitute their judgment for that of agencies. But when courts review agency actions arising from shared regulatory space, political accountability—often expressed as presidential control—and expertise can seem at odds. How should courts respond when, for example, one agency lays claim to presidential control but another relies on expertise, and the two take inconsistent positions so that a court must choose one over the other? This Article …

A Failing Correctional System: State Prison Overcrowding In The United States, Susan M. Campers

Pell Scholars and Senior Theses

State prison overcrowding has grown into a detrimental problem within our American penal system, such that after decades of being ignored by politicians, media outlets, and the lower court system, it has resulted in an ineffective and overcrowded correctional system that craves reformation.
