The Dual-Grant Theory Of Fair Use, Abraham Bell, Gideon Parchomovsky Jul 2016

The Dual-Grant Theory Of Fair Use, Abraham Bell, Gideon Parchomovsky

University of Chicago Law Review

Fair use is one of modern law's most fascinating and troubling doctrines. It is amorphous and vague, as well as notoriously difficult to apply. It is, at the same time, vitally important in copyright and perhaps the most frequently raised and litigated issue in the law of intellectual property. This Article synthesizes themes from the rich literature on fair use to fashion a novel theory of fair use that provides both a better understanding of the underlying principles and better tools for applying the doctrine. In contrast to the dominant understanding of fair use in the literature—that fair use addresses …

The Original Fourth Amendment, Laura K. Donohue Jul 2016

The Original Fourth Amendment, Laura K. Donohue

University of Chicago Law Review

The meaning of the rights enshrined in the Constitution provides a critical baseline for understanding the limits of government action—perhaps nowhere more so than in regard to the Fourth Amendment. At the time it was adopted, the Fourth Amendment prohibited the government from entering into any home, warehouse, or place of business against the owner's wishes to search for or to seize persons, papers, or effects, absent a specific warrant. Consistent with English common law, the notable exception was when law enforcement or citizens were pursuing a known felon. Outside of such circumstances, search and seizure required government officials to …


Civil Rights In A Desegregating America, Nicholas O. Stephanopoulos Jul 2016

Civil Rights In A Desegregating America, Nicholas O. Stephanopoulos

University of Chicago Law Review

The law largely has overlooked one of the most important sociological developments of the last half century: a sharp decline in residential segregation. In 1970, 80 percent of African Americans would have had to switch neighborhoods for blacks to be spread evenly across the typical metropolitan area. By 2010, this proportion was down to 55 percent and was continuing to fall. Bringing this striking trend (and its causes) to the attention of the legal literature is my initial aim in this Article. My more fundamental goal, though, is to explore what desegregation means for the three bodies of civil rights …

Reclaiming The Importance Of The Defendant's Testimony: Prior Conviction Impeachment And The Fight Against Implicit Stereotyping, Anna Roberts Apr 2016

Reclaiming The Importance Of The Defendant's Testimony: Prior Conviction Impeachment And The Fight Against Implicit Stereotyping, Anna Roberts

University of Chicago Law Review

Implicit courtroom stereotypes are an urgent problem. When trial defendants are African American, as is disproportionately the case, they are vulnerable to implicit fact finder stereotypes that threaten the presumption of innocence: unconscious associations linking the defendants with violence, weaponry, hostility, aggression, immorality, and guilt. Implicit-social-cognition research reveals that one valuable tool in combating this threat is individuating information—information that, through methods such as defendant testimony, brings an individual to unique life. Yet courts frequently chill defendant testimony by permitting impeachment by prior conviction. Courts determining whether criminal defendants should be impeached by their prior convictions use a multifactor test, …


Contrived Threats Versus Uncontrived Warnings: A General Solution To The Puzzles Of Contractual Duress, Unconstitutional Conditions, And Blackmail, Einer Elhauge Apr 2016

Contrived Threats Versus Uncontrived Warnings: A General Solution To The Puzzles Of Contractual Duress, Unconstitutional Conditions, And Blackmail, Einer Elhauge

University of Chicago Law Review

Contractual duress, unconstitutional conditions, and blackmail have long been puzzling. The puzzle is why these doctrines sometimes condemn threatening lawful action to induce agreements but sometimes do not. This Article provides a general solution to this puzzle. Such threats are (and should be) deemed unlawfully coercive only when they are contrived, meaning that the threatened action would not have occurred if no threat could have been made. I show that such contrived threats can be credible because making the threat strongly influences whether the threatened action occurs. When such threats are uncontrived warnings, meaning that the threatened action would have …

Racially Polarized Voting, Christopher S. Elmendorf, Kevin M. Quinn, Marisa J. Abrajano Apr 2016

Racially Polarized Voting, Christopher S. Elmendorf, Kevin M. Quinn, Marisa J. Abrajano

University of Chicago Law Review

Whether voting is racially polarized has for the last generation been the linchpin question in vote dilution cases under the core, nationally applicable provision of the Voting Rights Act. The polarization test is supposed to be clear-cut (“manageable”), diagnostic of liability, and free of strong racial assumptions. Using evidence from a random sample of vote dilution cases, we argue that these objectives have not been realized in practice and, further, that they cannot be realized under current conditions. The roots of the problem are twofold: (1) the widely shared belief that polarization determinations should be grounded on votes cast in …
