Arbitrating With Indian Tribes: Separability, Tribal Sovereign Immunity, And Exhaustion Of Tribal Remedies, Paul F. Kirgis Jun 2025

Arbitrating With Indian Tribes: Separability, Tribal Sovereign Immunity, And Exhaustion Of Tribal Remedies, Paul F. Kirgis

New Mexico Law Review

Indian tribes have emerged as significant contributors to the national and regional economies, notably through industries such as gaming, natural resource extraction, technology, and consumer lending. This increasing commercial activity brings with it increasing commercial disputes. Both Indian tribes and their nonmember counterparts need a fair and reliable forum to ensure that agreements are performed, loans repaid, and avoidable harms compensated. But the complex legal landscape of tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction complicates dispute resolution involving tribes. Tribes’ status as sovereign entities raises challenging issues of federal and state court jurisdiction, tribal sovereign immunity, and exhaustion of tribal remedies. Arbitration offers …

Unfinished Business: Twenty-First Century Questions Posed By Ambiguities In The Upper Colorado River Basin Compact And The Law Of The River, Eric Kuhn, Katherine H. Tara, John Fleck Jun 2025

Unfinished Business: Twenty-First Century Questions Posed By Ambiguities In The Upper Colorado River Basin Compact And The Law Of The River, Eric Kuhn, Katherine H. Tara, John Fleck

New Mexico Law Review

The Law of the River, particularly those components relating to Upper Colorado River water allocation, usage, and measurement, is rife with ambiguities and uncertainties. In the twenty-first century, facing a future with less water, these ambiguities pose serious problems. The ongoing process for the development of the Post-2026 Colorado River Operating Guidelines presents an ideal opportunity to address these issues. This Article gives a brief history of the Law of the River, with an eye toward the origins of the stream depletion theory, beneficial consumptive use, and tribal water allocations. The authors then explore potential approaches to addressing the challenges …


Walking The Line On Safety And Free Speech: Sidestepping First Amendment Challenges To Median Bans, Taylor J. Black Jun 2025

Walking The Line On Safety And Free Speech: Sidestepping First Amendment Challenges To Median Bans, Taylor J. Black

New Mexico Law Review

In 2021, the Tenth Circuit held a ban targeting pedestrians on street medians in Albuquerque, New Mexico unconstitutional under the First Amendment. Citing a crisis of pedestrian fatalities, Albuquerque has since promulgated a new pedestrian-safety ordinance with an adjusted median ban that prohibits pedestrians from sitting or standing on certain street medians. This ban not only fails to increase pedestrian safety but also arbitrarily blames the city’s poorest residents and poses a threat to First Amendment freedoms. Because the city cannot produce case-specific evidence to show that the ban is narrowly tailored to ameliorate a nonspeculative harm, the current ban …


Prisoners, Patients, And Privatization: Accountability For Corrections Contractors Under The New Mexico Civil Rights Act, Mayalyn Durham Jun 2025

Prisoners, Patients, And Privatization: Accountability For Corrections Contractors Under The New Mexico Civil Rights Act, Mayalyn Durham

New Mexico Law Review

New Mexico dedicates significant resources to incarceration—particularly with respect to prison medical care. Although New Mexico has mostly transitioned away from privately operated prisons, the New Mexico Corrections Department (NMCD) continues to contract with various corporations to provide health services in state-owned prisons. Not surprisingly, the private contractors’ cost-saving measures often result in the provision of grossly inadequate healthcare that constitutes cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment. Prisoner litigation under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, however, is fraught with substantive and procedural barriers to recovery. The New Mexico Civil Rights Act (NMCRA or “the Act”) provides an avenue of …


A Theory Of Structural Guarantees: How The Constitution Combats Unequal Distributions Of Liberty, Michael S. Cecil Jun 2025

A Theory Of Structural Guarantees: How The Constitution Combats Unequal Distributions Of Liberty, Michael S. Cecil

New Mexico Law Review

Structural inequality is a widely invoked but often undertheorized concept in constitutional discourse. A persistent question in constitutional theory is whether structure itself is a subject of justice—and how, if at all, institutional arrangements that produce unequal distributions of liberty might demand corresponding remedies. The strained efforts of courts and legislatures in addressing structural inequality through individual rights-based frameworks underscore the need for a more robust theoretical account. This Article contributes to that effort by advancing a theory of “structural guarantees” grounded in principles of justification from the social contract tradition. Rather than focusing on abstract features of the state …


Unchecked Contempt: The Necessity Of Maximum Sanctions For Criminal Contempt In New Mexico, Cam Rosenberg Jun 2025

Unchecked Contempt: The Necessity Of Maximum Sanctions For Criminal Contempt In New Mexico, Cam Rosenberg

New Mexico Law Review

Few areas of law are so completely entrusted to judge’s discretion, and therefore engender the risk of judicial abuse, as the contempt power. Despite this risk, New Mexico has significantly expanded the criminal contempt power over the last three years. Yet the results of this expansion—which typically play out in trial courts with little publicity and rare appellate review—have not been studied in any detail. This Comment examines how New Mexico trial courts used criminal contempt from January 1, 2023, to October 20, 2024, in light of the broad discretion granted to these courts. In this timeframe, a select few …


A Matter Of Public Concern: Wright V. Dorsey And The Need For Speech Protections Beyond Anti-Slapp Law, Henry Valentine Jun 2025

A Matter Of Public Concern: Wright V. Dorsey And The Need For Speech Protections Beyond Anti-Slapp Law, Henry Valentine

Duke Journal of Constitutional Law & Public Policy Sidebar

Wright v. Dorsey, a recent defamation case, demonstrates the limitations of anti-SLAPP ("Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation") law and the need for supplemental speech protections. Joshua Wright, an antitrust law practitioner and former professor, sued Elyse Dorsey and Angela Landry for defamation. Dorsey and Landry had claimed that Wright used his position as their professor (and later employer) to pressure them into non-consensual sexual relationships; Wright acknowledged their relationships but claimed they were fully consensual, and that stating otherwise was defamatory. Anti-SLAPP law failed to protect Dorsey and Landry even though Wright's lawsuit was ultimately a SLAPP. To better protect …


The Rogue Private Company And National Defense Emergencies, Gavin Small Jun 2025

The Rogue Private Company And National Defense Emergencies, Gavin Small

Duke Journal of Constitutional Law & Public Policy Sidebar

This Note explores two overlapping challenges in the United States constitutional and political system. First, the United States increasingly relies on private companies for technologies necessary for national defense. This has given outsized power to a few unelected corporations and people who might have their own incentives that misalign with those of the United States. This is particularly dangerous in an emergency situation where the United States government, not a private company with its own interests, should be making decisions regarding national security. As an example, this Note focuses on the massive role that the company SpaceX plays in the …


Forcing Our Hand: Evaluating The Use Of Force In Responses To Wrongful Detentions Abroad, Tyler J. Marovitz Jun 2025

Forcing Our Hand: Evaluating The Use Of Force In Responses To Wrongful Detentions Abroad, Tyler J. Marovitz

Duke Journal of Constitutional Law & Public Policy Sidebar

Wrongful detentions are on the rise. Over the past ten years, U.S. nationals have increasingly found themselves detained abroad upon spurious allegations, facing trumped-up charges, and deprived of basic due process protections. Most of these detentions occur in countries hostile to the United States: Russia, Iran, North Korea, China, and Venezuela. The U.S. has opted to release rightfully detained foreigners to those nations in exchange for its wrongfully detained nationals. All of this perpetuates a “prisoner bazaar” that encourages unscrupulous nations to continue their bad-faith detentions of U.S. nationals. This Note investigates this emerging issue through a use of military …
