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

Faculty Publications & Other Works

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 …

Judicial Imperialism: The Supreme Court’S Assault On Tribal Sovereignty And The Rule Of Law, Adam Crepelle

Faculty Publications & Other Works

The rule of law requires predictability, and the rules governing Indian country create uncertainty. For example, determining whether a person can be arrested on a reservation depends upon a combination of whether the victim and perpetrators are Indians, the type of crime, and the status of the land where the incident occurred. The same goes for contract enforcement. Even when forum selection and choice of law provisions exist, it can take years to determine whether the dispute should be adjudicated in tribal, state, or federal court. Ambiguity extends to countless other areas, including marijuana legalization and usury caps.

Pretrial Detention Without Counsel, Alison M. Siegler, Jaden M. Lessnick

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

In federal courts across the country, judges are locking defendants in jail before trial without first giving them a lawyer. This deprivation-of-counsel crisis not only violates the statutory, regulatory, and administrative right to counsel at initial appearance hearings, but may even contravene the Sixth Amendment. This article builds on our Freedom Denied report—the first nationwide study of federal pretrial detention—and new data collected since. It makes three primary contributions. First, we explain the sources and nature of the right to counsel at federal initial appearance hearings (the first bail hearing in federal court). Second, we provide a data-driven illustration of …

Asynchronous Trials: A New Approach To High-Volume Civil Adjudication, Henry Zhuhao Wang

Scholarly Publications

For thousands of years, trials were held in brick-and-mortar courthouses. Then COVID-19 ravaged the world, and many businesses and institutions, including judicial courts, went online. For the first time many people realized, accepted, and benefited from online trials held via videoconference software like Zoom. But Zoom fatigue is real. As the epidemic subsides, we must explore the next exciting growth point for judicial reforms.

Outside the courtroom, since the second half of the twentieth century, a revolution in communication methods has profoundly affected people’s daily life: we have switched from almost entirely real-time, synchronous human interactions, such as in-person meetings …

The Role And Impact Of Forensic Evidence In The Prosecution Of Homicide Cases In The U.S., Afrah Dakhilallah A. Altubait

Theses and Dissertations

The role of forensic evidence in the criminal justice process is an important topic that is significant from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The present study is dedicated to a critical analysis of the role of this evidence in the U.S. criminal justice process with a focus on its significance in homicide cases. Specifically, this dissertation examines the implications of using DNA and fingerprint evidence for convictions in U.S. homicide cases by analyzing the role of DNA and fingerprint evidence in the prosecution of “hot” and “cold” homicide cases, discussing the main ways in which forensic evidence assists with prosecuting …
