"Important" And "Irreversible" But Maybe Not "Unreviewable": The Dilemma Of Protecting Defendants' Rights Through The Collateral Order Doctrine, Kristen B. Gerdy

University of San Francisco Law Review

DR. CHARLES SELL has spent the last five years confined to a federal psychiatric facility awaiting trial for charges of Medicaid fraud and money laundering, a trial he is not competent to undergo at present because he suffers from delusional disorder, persecutory subtype, a rare psychological condition.1 His confinement has exceeded his possible imprisonment under the federal sentencing guidelines. Why does Dr. Sell continue to wait for a trial that may never happen?

A Civil Rights Task: Removing Barriers To Employment Of Ex-Convicts, Leroy D. Clark

University of San Francisco Law Review

OUR NATION FACES a growing problem that cries out for careful, rational reforms. As of June 2002, the prison and jail population exceeded two million inmates for the first time. State prisons operated between 1% and 16% above capacity and federal prisons operated 31% above capacity. The inmate population grew an average of 3.8% each year from 1995 to 2002.

Physicians Policing Physicians: The Development Of Medical Staff Peer Review Law At California Hospitals, Philip L. Merkel

University of San Francisco Law Review

THE LAW GOVERNING medical staff peer review at California hospitals has changed dramatically over the last thirty years. The days when a hospital could make arbitrary credentialing decisions without affording physicians any recourse are long gone. Primarily as a result of appellate court decisions and legislation, there has been a steady movement toward the formalization of peer review. This article examines the development of peer review law at California hospitals.' It also identifies a number of shortcomings in the current system and suggests solutions to these problems.

Deferred Entry Of Judgment: An Overlooked And Undervalued Benefit Of Proposition 21, Laron Hogg Haught

University of San Francisco Law Review

IN MARCH OF 2000, the voters of California passed Proposition 21, the "Gang Violence and Juvenile Crime Prevention Act of 1998," which altered sections of the Welfare and Institution and Penal Codes as well as created new sections that delineate a supervision program for certain minors brought before the courts. Proponents hailed the initiative as a "get tough on juvenile crime and gangs" measure, while opponents argued it was a draconian attempt to incarcerate more children for longer periods of time, and was too sweeping in its effect.

The Common Law And The Religious Foundations Of The Rule Of Law Before Casey, Craig A. Stern

University of San Francisco Law Review

WHATEVER IT MAY mean, the rule of law commands apparently universal respect-or at least receives apparently universal lip-service-among civil governments. Classically, the rule of law has been counterpoised to the rule of man, a rule held to be much inferior. Man is willful, apt to help friends and to harm foes even when obliged to judge fairly. Accordingly, the standard law dictionary gives these two pertinent definitions of "rule of law": " The supremacy of regular as opposed to arbitrary power .... -Also termed supremacy of law. 3. The doctrine that every person is subject to the ordinary law within …

Abstinence-Only Adolescent Education: Ineffective, Unpopular, And Unconstitutional, James Mcgrath

University of San Francisco Law Review

ABSTINENCE-ONLY AND abstinence-only-until-marriage education programs, ostensibly designed to prevent unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease ("STD") infection, are a waste of valuable public health resources of both time and money.' These ideologically based interventions interfere with serious, effective public health education and must be dismantled. Not only are abstinence-only programs ineffective for their intended purpose, they are dangerous in that they fail to protect our nation's youth against serious and potentially deadly diseases. Furthermore, these programs unconstitutionally violate both the Establishment Clause and the unconstitutional conditions doctrine.

Blurring Lines: How Supplemental Jurisdiction Unknowingly Gave The World Ancillary Personal Jurisdiction, Adam Hofmann

University of San Francisco Law Review

MANY LAW REVIEW articles begin with a gripping story, a hook, to grab the reader's attention and enflame their emotions. The idea is to make the reader understand, from the beginning, why the article is important by putting a human face, some real consequence, to the legal issues that they are discussing. This Comment has no such gripping story. It is aimed at a small group of attorneys who are litigating or anticipate litigating an interpleader action. As a result, this Comment seeks not to enflame emotions, but to engage in a very practical, grounded dialogue to assist those attorneys.

Toward A Criminal Law For Cyberspace: A New Model Of Law Enforcement?, Susan W. Brenner

School of Law Faculty Publications

This article argues that one consequence of the increasing proliferation of computer technology and the attendant migration of human activities, including illegal activities, into cyberspace is that the efficacy of our traditional approach to enforcing the criminal law is eroding. (1) As Section II explains, it is already apparent that the traditional model is not an effective means of dealing with cybercrime, i.e., crime the commission of which entails the use of computer technology. (2)

We are therefore seeing the emergence of an alternative approach to law enforcement, (3) one that emphasizes collaboration between the public and private sectors and …

Unlimited Congressional Power Under The Copyright Clause In Article I Of The Constitution: Eldred V. Ashcroft, Sherry Lynn Murphy

University of San Francisco Law Review

HAVE YOU EVER wondered why restaurants make up ridiculous songs to sing "happy birthday" to customers? No one knows the words or melodies, so no one sings along. Why do restaurants do this, instead of just singing the "Happy Birthday to You" song that everyone knows and loves, the one every kid has sung to him or her at birthday parties? The reason is because it is illegal for restaurants, in fact for anyone, to sing "Happy Birthday to You" unless a royalty fee is paid for permission to use the song. Although the song is an important part of …

Fractured Freedoms: The United States’ Postmodern Approach To Protecting Privacy, Adam Todd

School of Law Faculty Publications

Privacy law in the United States can be characterized as postmodern. It is fragmented and reflects postmodern paradox. This article is particularly concerned with the threats to the freedoms that underlie the right to privacy in the United States caused by this postmodern approach-particularly the lack of comprehensive regulation or protections against violations of privacy. The weaknesses of the United States' fragmented approach are apparent when contrasted to the more comprehensive and centrally-regulated European approach, such as that found in the European Data Privacy Directive.

But one cannot simply state that the United States should borrow the comprehensive European approach. …

Paper Trail: One Method Of Information Literacy Assessment, Jennifer Nutefall

University Libraries Publications

Assessing students' information literacy skills can be difficult depending on the involvement of the librarian in a course. To overcome this, librarians created an assignment called the Paper Trail, where students wrote a short essay about their research process and reflected on what they would do differently. Through reviewing and grading these papers, librarians determined whether students understood the difference between the library catalog and article databases, evaluated the students' search terms to see if they used effective topic keywords and Boolean operators, and learned more on how the students reflected on their research process.

Facts And Fantasies About Uc Berkeley Admissions: A Critical Evaluation Of Regent John Moores' Reports, Asian Law Caucus

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

UC Regent John Moores recently authored a confidential draft report that purports to analyze admissions at the University of California's flagship Berkeley campus. The Moores Report is largely focused on SAT scores, particularly the admission of some applicants with SAT scores below 1000. Unfortunately, the Moores Report contributed to widespread misconceptions about comprehensive review at Berkeley, particularly regarding the admission of a small number of students with relatively low SAT scores. In reality, the data show that students admitted with relatively low SAT scores can be highly qualified for admission to Berkeley and that Berkeley admits virtually all in-state applicants …
