How The Decisions In Favor Of The Stein Thirteen Will Affect The Litigation Of Corporate Crime And Department Of Justice Policies And Expand The Sixth Amendment Right To Counsel, Christopher Mcnamara
How The Decisions In Favor Of The Stein Thirteen Will Affect The Litigation Of Corporate Crime And Department Of Justice Policies And Expand The Sixth Amendment Right To Counsel, Christopher Mcnamara
Fordham Law Review
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit became the first appellate court in nearly thirty years to uphold the dismissal of criminal indictments for a Sixth Amendment right-to-counsel vilation. United States v. Stein is a unique case that intertwines constitutional interpretation, constitutional remedies, white collar crime, and U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) policy. The immediate effects of the Stein decisions not only reflect the changing attitudes at the DOJ on how to prosecute white collar crime but have simultaneously caused the Doj to implement such changes. As the Sixth Amendment has developed and augmented such changes, so has …
It's Been A Privilege: Advising Patients Of The Tarasoff Duty And Its Legal Consequences For The Federal Psychotherapist-Patient Privilege, Elisia Klinka
Fordham Law Review
State laws modeled on Tarasoff v. Regents of the University of California require psychotherapists to warn potential victims of law enforcement when treating dangerous patients who make serious threats of harm to another person. In practice, many psychotherapists advise their patients who make such threats about their duty under these Tarasoff-model laws. Although they are not required to make these advisories by law, psychotherapists generaly assume that they asldo have a concomitant ethical duty to advise their patients taht such threats will not be kept confidential, as their communications normally world be. This Note looks at how these advisories affect …
Defending Demaree: The Ex Post Facto Clause's Lack Of Control Over The Federal Sentencing Guidelines After Booker, Daniel M. Levy
Defending Demaree: The Ex Post Facto Clause's Lack Of Control Over The Federal Sentencing Guidelines After Booker, Daniel M. Levy
Fordham Law Review
In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Federal Sentencing Guidelines violated a defendant’s Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial because they allowed a judge to depart from a mandatory range based on facts not presented to a jury. As a solution, the Court modified the Guidelines to be “advisory,” yet curiously held that sentences were still subject to appellate review for reasonableness. Given this tension, U.S. courts of appeals are split on whether the Guidelines are “laws,” subject to the Ex Post Facto Clause of the U.S. Constitution. This Note argues that the Guidelines are advisory, given …
Outsourcing Immigration Compliance, Eleanor Marie Lawrence Brown
Outsourcing Immigration Compliance, Eleanor Marie Lawrence Brown
Fordham Law Review
Immigration is a hot-button issue about which Americans have sent a clear message. They prefer not to admit more aliens until the government is able to screen credibly for entrants who will abide by the terms of admission and sanction those who do not. While immigration debates now focus almost entirely on undocumented workers, they have overshadowed another critical, yet poorly understood, challenge: designing institutions to screen properly for aliens who are visa-compliant and sanction noncompliant aliens. Because failed guest worker programs unquestionably increase the size of the undocumented population, this Article addresses the difficulty of institutional design by analyzing …
The Right Remedy For The Wrongly Convicted: Judicial Sanction For Destruction Of Dna Evidence, Cynthia E. Jones
The Right Remedy For The Wrongly Convicted: Judicial Sanction For Destruction Of Dna Evidence, Cynthia E. Jones
Fordham Law Review
Many state innocence protection statutes give courts the power to impose appropriate sanctions when biological evidence needed for postconviction DNA testing is wrongly destroyed by the government. Constitutional claims based on wrongful evidence destruction are governed by the virtually insurmountable “bad faith” standard articulated in Arizona v. Youngblood. The wrongful destruction of DNA evidence in contravention of state innocence protection laws, however, should be governed by the standards used to adjudicate other “access to evidence” violations in criminal cases, including disclosures mandated by the rules of criminal procedure, the Jencks Act, and Brady v. Maryland. Under the “access to evidence” …
The Emerging First Amendment Law Of Managerial Prerogative, Lawrence Rosenthal
The Emerging First Amendment Law Of Managerial Prerogative, Lawrence Rosenthal
Fordham Law Review
In Garcetti v. Ceballos, the U.S. Supreme Court, by the narrowest of margins, held that allegations of police perjury made in memoranda to his superiors by Richard Ceballos, a supervisory prosecutor in the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office, were unprotected by the First Amendment because “his expressions were made pursuant to his duties.” The academic reaction to this holding has been harshly negative; scholars argue that the holding will prevent the public from learning of governmental misconduct that is known only to those working within the bowels of the government itself. This Article rejects the scholarly consensus on Garcetti. …

Harmless Constitutional Error And The Institutional Significance Of The Jury, Roger A. Fairfax, Jr.
Harmless Constitutional Error And The Institutional Significance Of The Jury, Roger A. Fairfax, Jr.
Fordham Law Review
Appellate harmless error review, an early twentieth-century innovation prompted by concerns of efficiency and finality, had been confined to nonconstitutional trial errors until forty years ago, when the U.S. Supreme Court extended the harmless error rule to trial errors of constitutional proportion. Even as criminal procedural protections were expanded in the latter half of the twentieth century, the harmless error rule operated to dilute the effect of many of these constitutional guarantees--the Sixth Amendment right to jury trial being no exception. However, while a trade-off between important process values and the Constitution's protection of individual rights is inherent in the …
Restoring The Grand Jury, Kevin K. Washburn
Restoring The Grand Jury, Kevin K. Washburn
Fordham Law Review
Though it is enshrined in the Constitution, the grand jury is one of the least respected institutions in American criminal justice today. Scholars regard the grand jury just as doctors regard the appendix: an organic part of our constitutional makeup, but not of much use. While scholars have proposed reforms, most of them seem only loosely related to the fundamental purpose of the grand jury. In an era of plea bargains, the grand jury can serve a crucial role in insuring popular legitimacy in the criminal justice system. In light of the criticism, however, the grand jury seems to be …

Rebuilding The Safety Mechanism: Does 18 U.S.C. § 3553(E) Violate The Separation Of Powers, Michael Buescher
Rebuilding The Safety Mechanism: Does 18 U.S.C. § 3553(E) Violate The Separation Of Powers, Michael Buescher
Fordham Law Review
This Note examines the government motion requirement of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(e) and section 5K1.1 of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines from a separation of powers perspective. The issues discussed include whether requiring authorization from the prosecutor before a sentencing judge can consider a defendant's cooperation when determining whether to grant a downward departure below a mandatory minimum sentence violates separation of powers. Building on the concerns of past commentators and recognizing that the Federal Sentencing Guidelines are likely here to stay, this Note proposes that, in order to protect the perception of integrity in the criminal justice system, Congress should …

The Criminalization Of Treating End Of Life Patients With Risky Pain Medication And The Role Of The Extreme Emergency Situation, Gina Castellano
The Criminalization Of Treating End Of Life Patients With Risky Pain Medication And The Role Of The Extreme Emergency Situation, Gina Castellano
Fordham Law Review
This Note examines the legality of physicians treating patients near the end of life with risky pain medication, specifically during an extreme emergency situation. The issues discussed include whether such treatment should be criminalized and, if criminalized, what standard should be used to determine culpability. This Note proposes that physicians should not be shielded from the criminal justice system, but that the standard of double effect intent should be expressly adopted in the adjudication of such cases.
