Money For Nothin’, Gifts For Free: The Supreme Court Differentiates Between Bribes And Gratuities In Snyder V. United States, Seth Lewis May 2025

Money For Nothin’, Gifts For Free: The Supreme Court Differentiates Between Bribes And Gratuities In Snyder V. United States, Seth Lewis

Mercer Law Review

The Supreme Court of the United States determined that the federal bribery statute regarding state and local officials did not include gratuities in Snyder v. United States. In Snyder, James Snyder was convicted of accepting an illegal gratuity under 18 U.S.C. § 666 and appealed his conviction. The Court’s decision addressed the split in the United States Courts of Appeals regarding whether 18 U.S.C. § 666 criminalized gratuities, payments made after an official’s act without a prior agreement, along with bribes, payments made with a prior agreement. The Court held that 18 U.S.C. § 666 only criminalized bribes and did …


From Ballots To Bureaucrats: Who Is Really Holding Georgia’S Prosecutors Accountable?, Sutton M. Eggena May 2025

From Ballots To Bureaucrats: Who Is Really Holding Georgia’S Prosecutors Accountable?, Sutton M. Eggena

Mercer Law Review

In the modern justice system that we know today, prosecutors play a significant role in shaping the lives, reputations, and liberties the everyday American enjoys. Former United States Attorney General and Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson once said, “[t]he prosecutor has more control over life, liberty, and reputation than any other person in America.” A prosecutor’s position in the criminal justice system is unlike any other, holding the power to decide who gets charged with a crime and the severity of those charges. This power has evolved, moving from a system where individuals and families had to fight for …

Irreparable Harm: How The United States Fails To Remedy Unjust Deportations, Joe Colley

Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law

When the United States wrongfully deports individuals, the harm is often irreversible. This piece explores the systemic gaps that leave those unjustly deported without meaningful remedies or recourse.


Racial Disparities In Crime-Based Removal Proceedings, Emily Ryo, Ian Peacock, Weston Ley, Christopher Levesque May 2025

Racial Disparities In Crime-Based Removal Proceedings, Emily Ryo, Ian Peacock, Weston Ley, Christopher Levesque

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

Whether and to what extent racial minorities experience harsher treatment or face worse outcomes in court are questions of fundamental importance for any justice system. Questions of racial inequality are especially salient in the context of removal proceedings that are triggered by immigrants’ criminal history. Many individuals in crime-based removal proceedings are immigrants of color who face a host of legal disadvantages that are tantamount to double penalties for the same crime for which they have already been punished through the criminal justice system. This Article offers, for the first time, systematic empirical analyses of crime-based removal proceedings decided between …

New York City Misses The Exit To Traffic Safety, Joseph Caffrey May 2025

New York City Misses The Exit To Traffic Safety, Joseph Caffrey

Capstones

New York City Misses the Exit to Traffic Safety investigates New York City’s mounting traffic violence crisis through the lens of a devastating crash that killed a Brooklyn mother and her two daughters. It examines the city’s inconsistent enforcement of reckless driving and the failure of the Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program (DVAP), which aimed to reform recidivist speeders. The piece investigates the imperfections of Vision Zero, public backlash to automated enforcement, and the broader failure to prevent recidivist speeding. It also explores policy alternatives like Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), highlighting legislative efforts to revive accountability and save lives, while advocating …


Judicial Deference And Presidential Power Under The Alien Enemies Act, Rebecca Ingber May 2025

Judicial Deference And Presidential Power Under The Alien Enemies Act, Rebecca Ingber

Online Publications

On March 15, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a proclamation titled, “Invocation of the Alien Enemies Act Regarding the Invasion of The United States by Tren De Aragua.” In purporting to invoke the Alien Enemies Act, Trump resurrected a 1798 statute that grants the President extraordinary removal powers in times of “declared war” or “invasion or predatory incursion … against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government.” Specifically, this wartime power permits the President to apprehend and remove as “alien enemies” the non-U.S. citizen nationals of the foreign state, as long as they are fourteen …


Hospitality Operators And Cannabis Tourism In The South: Insights On Policy & Regulations, Nick E. Johnston, Kelly Way, Chloe Tyner, Betsy Garrison May 2025

Hospitality Operators And Cannabis Tourism In The South: Insights On Policy & Regulations, Nick E. Johnston, Kelly Way, Chloe Tyner, Betsy Garrison

ICHRIE Research Reports

Cannabis tourism offers new opportunities for U.S. hospitality, although regional adoption is limited and complex due to diverse legal frameworks. Through qualitative document analysis (QDA) of regulatory frameworks in 14 Southern U.S. states, this study compares policies on consumption, sales, and employment in states with limited or emerging cannabis programs. Findings reveal that hospitality operators can enhance guest experiences by creating private, wellness-focused cannabis environments and advocating for gradual policy adjustments. However, compliance with strict consumption, licensing, and workplace rules is essential to mitigate legal risks. This study highlights the South's cannabis tourism potential within politically conservative markets, suggesting that …

Reasonable Suspicion And Racial Profiling In The Enforcement Of Immigration Laws In Arizona, George L. Wajackoyah May 2025

Reasonable Suspicion And Racial Profiling In The Enforcement Of Immigration Laws In Arizona, George L. Wajackoyah

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The delegation of immigration enforcement authority to local law enforcement under Section 287(g) raised concerns about increased racial profiling, fueling fear and distrust in immigrant communities. Understanding these effects aided in evaluating the broader impact of immigration policies on public safety and community relations. Grounded in critical race theory, this study explored how Section 287(g) enabled racial profiling by giving local law enforcement broad discretionary authority over immigration enforcement. A qualitative research design was employed using thematic analysis of interview data from 26 immigrants and law enforcement officers. Manual coding and NVivo software were utilized to conduct the analysis. The …

The Rape Kit Backlog: Problems And Solutions, Tracey Cao May 2025

The Rape Kit Backlog: Problems And Solutions, Tracey Cao

Themis: Research Journal of Justice Studies and Forensic Science

This literature review examines the ongoing issue of rape kit backlog in the United States. Rape kits are a means of evidence collection from victims of sexual assault that can be used in court. Across the nation, many state jurisdictions have hundreds and thousands of rape kits left untested and locked away in storage facilities. Consent for testing, police bias, and funding issues are the main issues that will be addressed. Many victims choose not to have their kits tested. Other kits never get tested due to police choosing not to submit a kit due to their bias against some …

The Banality Of Crimmigration—Can Immigration Law Recover Itself?, Catherine Dauvergne May 2025

The Banality Of Crimmigration—Can Immigration Law Recover Itself?, Catherine Dauvergne

All Faculty Publications

This article argues that criminal law has overtaken immigration law to such an extent that the notion of “crimmigration” is no longer shocking. In Canada, where the population has long been supportive of immigration and where national politics have been remarkably consensual in matters of immigration, crimmigration now forms the basis of a new form of bipartisan consensus. By looking back on the Justin Trudeau Liberal government, we see that most of the Harper-era crimmigration measures were left in place, and the advance of crimmigration continued unabated. If we are to make any progress in recovering space for values other …

Automation Mismatch: How Contractor Ai Adoption Challenges Institutional Procurement Norms At U.S. Customs And Border Protection (Cbp), Farhan Bin Amjad May 2025

Automation Mismatch: How Contractor Ai Adoption Challenges Institutional Procurement Norms At U.S. Customs And Border Protection (Cbp), Farhan Bin Amjad

Beyond the Project Horizon: Journal of the Center for Project Management Innovation

This letter explores a growing strain in the U.S. federal procurement: the automation mismatch between AI-powered proposal development by contractors and the regulation-bound evaluation systems at agencies like U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Tools like Vultron and Unanet AI have enabled federal contractors to increase proposal submission volume, yet institutional constraints such as data sensitivity, budget limitations, and cultural barriers have hindered equivalent modernization on the government side. This article leverages institutional theory and prior research to analyze this disparity, highlighting how legal and cultural factors limit AI integration in procurement. Detailed analysis of these regulatory and cultural influences …


Platform Capital And The City: Governing Uber In Buenos Aires And Manchester, Mathew Johnson, Angel Martin-Caballero May 2025

Platform Capital And The City: Governing Uber In Buenos Aires And Manchester, Mathew Johnson, Angel Martin-Caballero

Comparative Labor Law & Policy Journal

Recent literature has drawn attention to the various regulatory battles and flashpoints triggered by the entry of platform Transportation network Companies such as Uber and Lyft into cities around the world. Drawing on original case study analysis of Uber in Buenos Aires and Greater Manchester, we explore the increasingly complex and dynamic nature of local regulatory responses to platforms, and how they evolve over time. We develop a three-fold analytical framework that illustrates the important interactions between the competencies of local regulatory actors, the power of different interest groups, and the legitimacy of institutional rules. Our findings suggest that balancing …

The Deterrence Dilemma: Is It Time For Canada To Abandon General Deterrence As A Sentencing Objective?, Caitlin Salvino May 2025

The Deterrence Dilemma: Is It Time For Canada To Abandon General Deterrence As A Sentencing Objective?, Caitlin Salvino

Dalhousie Law Journal

When Canada first codified its sentencing framework in the Criminal Code, Parliament included deterrence as a sentencing objective. The sentencing objective of deterrence encompasses two aspects: specific deterrence for the individual offender and general deterrence for other potential offenders. I engage with the concept of general deterrence and its incorporation into Canadian sentencing law throughout this article. I argue that Parliament should abandon general deterrence as a sentencing objective under the Criminal Code. After reviewing the jurisprudence on general deterrence and conducting a systematic review of its current application in Ontario sentencing decisions, I argue that general deterrence should be …

Robots And (Indian) Reservations: A Jurisdictional Nightmare Waiting To Happen, Adam Crepelle May 2025

Robots And (Indian) Reservations: A Jurisdictional Nightmare Waiting To Happen, Adam Crepelle

Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property

Advances in artificial intelligence are expanding the possibilities of robots. Indeed, robots are now engaging in numerous activities previously thought to require human cognition, such as driving cars and diagnosing diseases. Scholars have published numerous articles examining the intersection of law and robots across myriad fields. However, legal scholarship has yet to explore the relationship between robots and federal Indian law. This is a significant oversight because there are 574 federally recognized tribes and over fifty-six million acres of Indian country. Thus, legal issues involving tribes and robots are inevitable. This is the first law review article dedicated to exploring …


Who Holds The Hammer? A Private Ordering Framework As The Key To Carpenter’S Privacy Puzzle, Matthew Green May 2025

Who Holds The Hammer? A Private Ordering Framework As The Key To Carpenter’S Privacy Puzzle, Matthew Green

Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property

This Note builds on the Supreme Court’s reasoning in Carpenter v. United States, suggesting that its technology-specific approach may be insufficiently elastic to address the complexities of modern data privacy. Through an analysis of several exemplars, this Note advocates for a private ordering framework—where data collectors respond to consumer expectations of privacy through self-regulating practices—as a more adaptive and effective means of safeguarding digital privacy. This approach preserves the third-party doctrine while reducing the burden on courts to draw technological boundaries in a rapidly evolving digital environment.
