Recall Me Maybe? The Corrosive Effect Of Recall Elections On State Legislative Politics, Zachary J. Siegel

University of Colorado Law Review

For the first time in Colorado's 137-year history, voters in two districts recalled their state senators from office in September 2013. Although the event prompted significant debate over the controversial gun legislation that sparked the grassroots efforts to trigger the recall elections, discussion generally overlooked the implications of using political recall altogether-implications that concern the very foundation of American democracy: the role of the legislator. This Comment aims to fill that gap, examining politically motivated recalls in the context of state legislatures. Using the recent Colorado examples as a case study, this Comment argues that increased use of the tactic …

Privatization And Its Discontents: The Troubling Record Of Privatized Prison Health Care, Dan Weiss

University of Colorado Law Review

As part of a decades-long national trend towards privatization, local governments have turned to private contractors to provide health care in American prisons and jails. Ostensibly, the driving force behind this phenomenon is a desire to cut costs in an era of expanding prison health care expenditures and contracting governmental revenue streams. Local government officials build the cost-cutting incentive directly into their contracts via fixed-rate payment structures and cost-sharing provisions for off-site emergency treatment. While these contracts encourage cost-reduction, they simultaneously discourage proper oversight; their indemnification clauses render local governments largely immune from financial consequences when contractors deny emergency care …

When Apps Pollute: Regulating Transportation Network Companies To Maximize Environmental Benefits, K. Casey Strong

University of Colorado Law Review

"Ridesharing"h as long been touted as a means to reduce the pollution and congestion caused by personal vehicles, but in practice has been relatively unpopular among Americans. That outlook may be changing, however, thanks to new "Transportation Network Companies" (TNCs) that toe the line between ridesharing and for-hire passenger transportation services, such as taxis and limousines. UberX, Lyft, Sidecar, and other similar services have rapidly spread to cities throughout the United States, attracting the attention of investors and ire of incumbent transportation providers. Legal commentary has thus far focused on proposed regulations' implications for liability, public safety, and fairness, but …

The Government's Lies And The Constitution, Helen Norton

Publications

Governments lie. They do so for many different reasons to a wide range of audiences on a variety of topics. Although courts and commentators have extensively explored whether and when the First Amendment permits the government to regulate lies told by private speakers, relatively little attention has yet been paid to the constitutional implications of the government's intentional falsehoods. This Article helps fill that gap by exploring when, if ever, the Constitution prohibits our government from lying to us.

The government’s lies can be devastating. This is the case, for example, of its lies told to resist legal and political …

Comparative Institutional Competency And Sovereignty In Indian Affairs, Michalyn Steele

University of Colorado Law Review

While vigorous debate surrounds the proper scope and ambit of inherent tribal authority, there remains a critical antecedent question: whether Congress or the courts are ultimately best situated to define the contours of inherent tribal authority. In February 2013, Congress enacted controversial tribal jurisdiction provisions as part of the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization recognizing and affirming inherent tribal authority to prosecute all persons, including non-Indian offenders, for crimes of domestic violence in Indian country. This assertion by Congress of its authority to set the bounds of tribal inherent authority-beyond where the United States Supreme Court has held tribal inherent …

Procedural Architecture Matters: Innovation Policy At The Federal Communications Commission, J. Brad Bernthal

Publications

This Article examines the puzzle of whether today's Federal Communications Commission ("FCC" or the "Agency") is institutionally suited to craft telecommunications innovation policy and, if not, what changes are needed to better equip the Agency to respond to twenty-first century realities. Evaluation of FCC innovation policy performance is stubbornly difficult. Some criticize the FCC as a brake on innovation yet, under the FCC's oversight, the United States' communications industry has become an innovative engine propelling the overall economy more than ever before. It is difficult to untangle whether the FCC deserves credit for helping usher in today's communications age, whether …
