"The Right Of The People": Reconciling Collective And Individual Interests Under The Fourth Amendment, Donald L. Doernberg Jan 1983

"The Right Of The People": Reconciling Collective And Individual Interests Under The Fourth Amendment, Donald L. Doernberg

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Professor Doernberg examines a tension within fourth amendment jurisprudence and sugqests a means of resolving it. On the one hand, the Supreme Court has conferred fourth amendment standing only upon those whose personal privacy interests have been disturbed. On the other hand, the Court has allowed such persons to invoke the exclusionary rule only in circumstances where, in the Court's view, it would serve as an effective deterrent. Professor Doernberg traces these two po1icies to different conceptions of the fourth amendment: the first interprets the amendment as a guarantor of individual rights; the second construes it as an instrument for …


The Dimensions Of A Journalist's Shield—First Amendment Protection For The Constitutionality Of News Sources Against Requests For Court-Ordered Disclosure In Civil Cases, Frank Van Dusen Jan 1983

The Dimensions Of A Journalist's Shield—First Amendment Protection For The Constitutionality Of News Sources Against Requests For Court-Ordered Disclosure In Civil Cases, Frank Van Dusen

Seattle University Law Review

This comment suggests a test in civil cases that enables a court to determine if there is a first amendment interest in protecting a source’s confidentiality. If a journalist can demonstrate this interest, then the burden shifts to the litigant seeking disclosure. This comments suggests three criteria through which the litigant must persuade the court that the state’s interest outweighs the first amendment interest. The test suggested by this comment should increase protection for the first amendment interest by decreasing the number of disclosure orders issued and by giving journalists and their confidential sources a basis for predicting in advance …


A Free Press: The Forgotten Issue In Home Placement V. Providence Journal, Robert J. Curran Jan 1983

A Free Press: The Forgotten Issue In Home Placement V. Providence Journal, Robert J. Curran

Seattle University Law Review

This Note demonstrates that the court's decision in Home Placement did infringe upon protected first amendment activity. Since free speech and free press guarantees were threatened by the government's action, the court should have balanced the competing interests and held in favor of Home Placement only upon a showing of a compelling state interest. After examining the interests of the advertiser, the reader, the government, and the newspaper, this Note concludes that the newspaper's right to control its message and to make editorial decisions free from the threat of governmental interference overbalance the antitrust claim made in this case. A …

The Rights Of Probationary Federal Employee Whistleblowers Since The Enactment Of The Civil Service Reform Act Of 1978, Benjamin C. Indig Jan 1983

The Rights Of Probationary Federal Employee Whistleblowers Since The Enactment Of The Civil Service Reform Act Of 1978, Benjamin C. Indig

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Comment focuses on the rights, since the passage of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA), of the probationary employee who exposes fraud and mismanagement in the federal government. It reviews the rights granted by the CSRA, as well as non-CSRA rights granted under the Privacy Act, and under the first and fifth amendments of the Constitution, including the right to sue one's supervisor in a Bivens action. Non-CSRA rights are particularly important to the whistleblower who is a probationer. The Comment concludes that the CSRA does encourage probationers, to an extent, to expose fraud and wrongdoing in …

The Flag Salute Cases And The First Amendment, Stephen W. Gard Jan 1983

The Flag Salute Cases And The First Amendment, Stephen W. Gard

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

The flag salute cases have been a source of endless fascination for legal and historical scholars. Most of this large body of scholarship has focused on the apparent oddity of Justice Frankfurter's view that there was no constitutional infirmity in the "petty tyranny" of a governmental requirement that school children engage in a hypocritical affirmation of belief. Unfortunately, the doctrinal importance of the opinions of Justices Jackson and Frankfurter in the flag salute cases as contrasting statements on the interpretation of the freedom of speech guarantee of the first amendment and the function of the judiciary in preserving our most …

The Effective Assistance Of Counsel: Chance Or Guarantee?, Joanne Legano

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Comment reviews the historical development of the right to effective assistance of counsel for criminal defendants as defined by the Supreme Court, and discusses the various standards applied by lower federal courts.

The standards applied by the New York State courts are also analyzed. Finally, the author recommends uniform guidelines for evaluating claims of ineffective assistance of counsel.


First Amendment Challenges To Landmark Preservation Statutes, Stephen M. Watson Jan 1983

First Amendment Challenges To Landmark Preservation Statutes, Stephen M. Watson

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The Interfaith Commission, religious leaders deeply concerned with the problems associated with the landmarking of religious properties, have recognized that the prohibition against demolition or alteration of landmarked religious properties effectively destroys their value. Additionally, the religious organizations are required to expend thousands of dollars of religious contributions to maintain these landmarks for the public benefit, in accordance with the regulations of the Landmarks Commission. This Comment focuses on the constitutionality of landmark preservation statutes as applied to religious properties. Using New York City as a model, this Comment examines the myriad problems presented by the landmarking of religious properties. …


Accomodation Of Reputational Interests And Free Press: A Call For A Strict Interpretation Of Gertz, Tom Wall Jan 1983

Accomodation Of Reputational Interests And Free Press: A Call For A Strict Interpretation Of Gertz, Tom Wall

Fordham Urban Law Journal

New York Times Co. v. Sullivan provides that states may award damages in defamation actions brought by public officials against media critics of their official conduct only if the plaintiff proves that the defendant acted with "actual malice." Subsequently, the Supreme Court extended this rule to public figures and promulgated standards for identifying public figures. The Court declared unconstitutional the common law standard of strict liability in actions brought by private individuals. Establishing negligence as a constitutional minimum, the Court delegated to the states the responsibility for formulating the proper standard of fault in actions brought by private individuals. This …

A Unified Theory Of The First Amendment:, Mark S. Nadel Jan 1983

A Unified Theory Of The First Amendment:, Mark S. Nadel

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The Supreme Court presently permits reasonable regulation of access in the broadcasting media; it nevertheless allows print publishers to foreclose such access. Although this approach has been praised by some, and a doctrine can only survive if there is a clear distinction between the print and broadcast media. In today's rapidly developing communications industry, the distinction between these converging media is unstable and inadequate. The increasing significance of cable television in particular has created a pressing need to replace the fragile double standard with a unified, all encompassing theory. This Article proposes such a unified theory after first drawing the …


Disenfranchisement Of The College Student Vote: When A Resident Is Not A Resident, Joseph A. Bollhofer Jan 1983

Disenfranchisement Of The College Student Vote: When A Resident Is Not A Resident, Joseph A. Bollhofer

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The standards used by state and local election officials to determine whether students may vote as residents of the communities in which they attend college vary significantly among the fifty states. Two fundamental rights conflict in determining whether college students should be entitled to vote as residents of their college communities: the right of students to equal protection of the laws and eh right of states to limit the right to vote to bona fide residents. This Comment demonstrates the need for the education of election officials and college students in the common law principles of domicile. Moreover, it will …
