A New Look At Actual Minimum Job Requirements And Experience In Similar Occupations And With The Same Employer: Balca's 20 C.F.R. Section 656.21 (B)(6), Lorna Rogers Burgess

San Diego Law Review

In this Article, Ms. Burgess discusses the Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals (BALCA) which was created by an amendment to 20 C.F.R. § 656.26 and § 656.27. Ms. Burgess asserts that the creation of BALCA has significantly improved the system of adjudication of Applications for Alien Employment Certification. Though BALCA has exerted viable standards, these standards are far from providing analytically sound and practical guidance to practitioners and Certifying Officers. The author suggests that good lawyering in the future may improve BALCA's jurisprudence.

Towards The Cathedral: Ancient Sanctuary Represented In The American Context, Michael Scott Feeley

San Diego Law Review

In this Article, Mr. Feeley, discusses the historical roots of the power of the Church to provide sanctuary to those in fear of life and limb. Tracing its historical roots, the author identifies three elements of sanctuary - person, place, governmental check. He then demonstrates that the American Sanctuary Movement contains these defining elements of historical sanctuary. An analysis of the Sanctuary Movement concludes that, despite its different features and cultural locus, the Movement embodies the ancient elements of person, place and governmental check transformed, rather than transubstantiated by the American context.

Terrazas, the author highlights the major facets of expatriation.

A Free Trade Agreement Between The United States And Mexico: The Right Choice, Jesus Silva, Richard K. Dunn

San Diego Law Review

In this Article, Messrs. Silva and Dunn demonstrate that the intended Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the United States and Mexico is a natural and necessary step in the two countries' economic relations. Their approach is to trace the steps which have led to the FTA and to analyze the evolution and progression of Mexican economic, legal, and political polices which have reached a point permitting and necessitating a trade pact. An agreement between the two countries is both logical and compelled though it will have permanent consequences and potential obstacles. Nevertheless, the agreement must be implemented and with an …

Illinois V. Perkins, Marty Jaquez

San Diego Law Review

In Illinois v. Perkins, the United States Supreme Court held that an undercover police officer need not give Miranda warnings before questioning an incarcerated suspect. In doing so, the Court found that the interests protected by Miranda are not implicated when a suspect does not know the identity of his interrogator. This Note analyzes the Court's reasoning in light of the concerns that motivated the Miranda Court. The analysis reveals that the Perkins reflects the Court's propensity to undermine the Miranda. Unlike other Supreme Court cases creating exceptions to Miranda, Perkins permits deliberate police deception in obtaining an unwarned confession …
