How The Court Got It Wrong In Woodford V. Ngo By Saying No To Simple Administrative Exhaustion Under The Plra, Karen M. Harkins Slocomb

San Diego Law Review

Congress has estimated that the number of people who have been sexually assaulted in America's prisons over the past twenty years tops one million. Some inmates are sexually assaulted by guards, and some by other inmates, facilitated by guards. The problem is so rampant that Congress enacted the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003. Though the State has a constitutional obligation to "provide humane conditions of confinement," sometimes it fails. To receive compensation for or relief from such harm, a prisoner must conform to the guidelines provided in the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PLRA), which requires an inmate …

"And My Best Friend, My Doctor/Won't Even Say What It Is I'Ve Got": The Role And Significance Of Counsel In Right To Refuse Treatment Cases, Michael L. Perlin

San Diego Law Review

For the past three decades, scholars have carefully considered the scope of the right of involuntarily committed psychiatric patients to refuse the administration of medication from a rich array of perspectives, including, but not limited to, clinical perspectives, civil libertarian perspectives, philosophical perspectives, and political perspectives. Yet, virtually all of this - remarkably - passes over what I believe is the single most important issue in real life. This issue is the most relevant to the actual (as opposed to paper) existence of the right and the actual (as opposed to paper) implementation of that right: the availability and adequacy …

Six Easy Pieces: Teaching Experientially, Steven Hartwell

San Diego Law Review

Steven Hartwell explores the growth and value of teaching experientially in this article. Experiential teaching emerged when clinical legal education grew in response to student demands for a more relevant education. The educational advantages of the field clinic model are substantial: students are more motivated to lean, the learning is direct and based on real experience, it entails both cognitive and affective domains, and raises ethical issues by working with real clients. The author examines David Kolb's theory of experiential learning; the basic premise of that theory is that effective learning takes place experientially in a continuous, circular four-stage sequence. …

Remembering The Forgotten Ones: Protecting The Elderly From Financial Abuse

San Diego Law Review

There is nothing new about fraudulently taking money from people, particularly the elderly. The elderly population is rapidly increasing, however, and is readily accessible by telephone and mail. As a result, the elderly are easy targets for financial abuse. Such abuse can emanate from several sources, including people the victims know and trust, particularly family and friends.

Perpetrators can be people upon whom the elderly depend for care. Abuse can also come from strangers with whom elderly victims have no direct contact. This Article focuses primarily on the financial abuse of the elderly by strangers.

Can Promise Enforcement Save Affordable Housing In The United States?

San Diego Law Review

Promise Enforcement is my original approach to the development of affordable housing. Promise Enforcement, as a system, includes three components: (1) contextual thinking; (2) valuing individuality, and (3) comprehensive responsibility. Contextual thinking involves a sense of environmental, historical, and geographic context. Valuing individuality allows residents of public housing to express themselves as unique individuals. Comprehensive responsibility involves a complete understanding of the costs and benefits of affordable housing. The theory was inspired in part by the work of Austrian activist, artist, and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser and the writings of French social contract theorist Jean-Jacques Rousseau. My article that introduced the …

Why The Bar Needs Academics - And Vice Versa, Fred C. Zacharias

San Diego Law Review

This Article argues that practicing attorneys have a need for academics to bring the their legal approaches back to a sense of reality. The author makes this argument by giving three examples of personal experience at a recent symposium sponsored by the University of Arizona College of Law, entitled "The Future Structure and Regulation of Law Practice." The author claims that sometimes practitioners are blinded by their own traditions and refused to consider new and better approaches. Academics who have less at stake in existing traditions are more willing to consider new solutions.
