Revelation And Idolatry: Holy Law And Holy Terror, Regina Schwartz
Revelation And Idolatry: Holy Law And Holy Terror, Regina Schwartz
Faculty Working Papers
THE Book of Exodus desscribes the identity of justice and the law. Because elsewhere the gap between justice and the law is so wide -- in Christian theology when it sees the Pharisaic law as inhibiting the realization of justice; in philosophy where from Plato on, law is formal while is justice substantive; in political theory, which includes those who endorse "procedural justice" when they abandon substantive justice -- this radical biblical vision, wherein the law is justice is surely unique. This is not an understanding of the law as a series of prescriptions, the "yoke of the law" but …
The "Define And Punish" Clause And The Limit Of Universal Jurisdiction, Eugene Kontorovich
The "Define And Punish" Clause And The Limit Of Universal Jurisdiction, Eugene Kontorovich
Faculty Working Papers
This Article examines whether the "Define and Punish" clause of the Constitution empowers Congress to criminalize foreign conduct unconnected to the United States. Answering this question requires exploring the Constitution's "Piracies and Felonies" provision. While it is hard to believe this can still be said of any constitutional provision, no previous work has examined the scope of the "Piracies and Felonies" powers. Yet the importance of this inquiry is more than academic. Despite its obscurity, the Piracies and Felonies power is the purported Art. I basis for a statute currently in force, which represents Congress's most aggressive use of universal …
The Story Of Bivens V. Six Unknown-Named Agents Of The Federal Bureau Of Narcotics, James E. Pfander
The Story Of Bivens V. Six Unknown-Named Agents Of The Federal Bureau Of Narcotics, James E. Pfander
Faculty Working Papers
In Bivens v. Six Unknown-Named Agents of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, the Supreme Court recognized the right of an individual to sue federal government officials for a violation of constitutional rights. Drawing on interviews with some of the participants, including Webster Bivens himself and one of the agents who conducted the search, this chapter in the forthcoming book Federal Courts' Stories describes the events that led to the litigation and the complex array of factors that informed the Court's approach to the case. After placing the Bivens decision in context, the chapter evaluates the competing narratives that have grown …
Two Ways To Think About The Punishment Of Corporations, Albert Alschuler
Two Ways To Think About The Punishment Of Corporations, Albert Alschuler
Faculty Working Papers
This article compares the criminal punishment of corporations in the twenty-first century with two ancient legal practices—deodand (the punishment of animals and objects that have produced harm) and frankpledge (the punishment of all members of a group when one member of the group has avoided apprehension for a crime). It argues that corporate criminal punishment is a mistake but that viewing it as frankpledge is less ridiculous than viewing it as deodand. The article considers the implications of the choice between these concepts for standards of corporate guilt and for the sentencing of corporate offenders. After a brief historical description …
The Death Of The American Trial, Robert P. Burns
The Death Of The American Trial, Robert P. Burns
Faculty Working Papers
This short essay is a summary of my assessment of the meaning of the "vanishing trial" phenomenon. It addresses the obvious question: "So what?" It first briefly reviews the evidence of the trial's decline. It then sets out the steps necessary to understand the political and social signficance of our vastly reducing the trial's importance among our modes of social ordering. The essay serves as the Introduction to a book, The Death of the American Trial, soon to be published by the University of Chicago Press.
The Language Of Consent In Police Encounters, Janice Nadler, J.D. Trout
The Language Of Consent In Police Encounters, Janice Nadler, J.D. Trout
Faculty Working Papers
In this chapter, we examine the nature of conversations in citizen-police encounters in which police seek to conduct a search based on the citizen's consent. We argue that when police officers ask a person if they can search, citizens often feel enormous pressure to say yes. But judges routinely ignore these pressures, choosing instead to spotlight the politeness and restraint of the officers' language and demeanor. Courts often analyze the language of police encounters as if the conversation has an obvious, context-free meaning. The pragmatic features of language influence behavior, but courts routinely ignore or deny this fact. Instead, current …
Reflections On Capital Punishment, Rob Warden
Reflections On Capital Punishment, Rob Warden
Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy
Authored by the Executive Director of the Center on Wrongful Convictions, this powerful article reviews the many different arguments against the death penalty and uses a multitude of case discussions to show how the death penalty works, not in theory, but in practice. Some of these arguments include: the death penalty does not have a demonstrable deterrent effect; it costs more to maintain the system than to imprison murderers for life; many wrongfully condemned defendants have been saved by the serendipitous discovery of evidence not available during trial; innocent persons have been executed; the death penalty has been applied in …
The Role Of International Criminal Tribunals In Promoting Respect For Fair Trial Rights, Wolfgang Schomburg
The Role Of International Criminal Tribunals In Promoting Respect For Fair Trial Rights, Wolfgang Schomburg
Northwestern Journal of Human Rights
This article analyzes how the two United Nations Tribunals, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), have defined the notion of a fair trial by adopting the provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The article argues that fundamental due process has experienced a revival in the Criminal Tribunals due to gaps in the Rules being filled in response to the ICCPR. The article examines particularly Articles 9 and 14 of the ICCPR.
The International Criminal Court And Truth Commissions: A Framework For Cross-Interaction In The Sudan And Beyond, Christopher D. Totten
The International Criminal Court And Truth Commissions: A Framework For Cross-Interaction In The Sudan And Beyond, Christopher D. Totten
Northwestern Journal of Human Rights
This Article explores normative and institutional frameworks for interaction between the International Criminal Court ("ICC") and truth commissions. In particular, the Article examines how the ICC should approach prosecutions in countries where a truth commission may form, such as in the , in light of particular legal provisions binding on the ICC. Moreover, the Article argues for the use of particular institutional bodies within the ICC through which to facilitate information exchange with truth commissions. Finally, the Article explores implications for the ICC with regard to the prosecution of high and low-level perpetrators who have participated in a truth commission …
An Evolutionary Analysis Of Gender-Based War Crimes And The Continued Tolerance Of "Forced Marriage", Amy Palmer
An Evolutionary Analysis Of Gender-Based War Crimes And The Continued Tolerance Of "Forced Marriage", Amy Palmer
Northwestern Journal of Human Rights
Gender-based war crimes have occurred for centuries and, until the modern development of ad hoc tribunals, had been largely ignored by the international community and viewed as inevitable consequences of war. Gender-based violent crimes and sexually violent crimes have been charged in the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), and the for Sierra Leone (SCSL). The most recent gender-based international criminal prosecutions took place in the SCSL trials of the leaders of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) and the Revolutionary United Front (RUF). During the armed conflict, soldiers forced women …
Atrocity Crimes Litigation: 2008 Year-In-Review, Beth Van Schaack
Atrocity Crimes Litigation: 2008 Year-In-Review, Beth Van Schaack
Northwestern Journal of Human Rights
This article--prepared in connection with the annual review of atrocity crimes litigation conference hosted at Northwestern University School of Law--surveys important developments in the field of international criminal law in 2008. Although the article does feature certain key procedural developments, it primarily addresses developments in substantive law concerning the crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and gender-based violence, as well as applicable forms of responsibility, including conspiracy, incitement, co-perpetration, and joint criminal enterprise. The survey identifies several trends in the jurisprudence toward better delineating the interfaces between international crimes and forms of responsibility and identifies cases with immediate …

New Hope: A Thoughtful And Effective Approach To "Make Work Pay, Greg J. Duncan, Hans Bos, Lisa L. Gennetian, Heather Hill
Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy
This paper makes the case for a national program offering the kind of work supports that were part of the New Hope program, a policy experiment that operated for three years in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Our policy, like New Hope, would provide a set of work supports for full-time workers-both parents and nonparents, men and women-that would lift them out of poverty as well as provide essential benefits in the form of health insurance and child-care subsidies for people who needed them. Across all of the people offered the chance to participate in the New Hope program, including single men, work …
