Changing Expectations Of Privacy And The Fourth Amendment, Robert Power

ExpressO

Public attitudes about privacy are central to the development of fourth amendment doctrine in two respects. These are the two “reasonableness” requirements, which define the scope of the fourth amendment (it protects only “reasonable” expectations of privacy), and provide the key to determining compliance with its commands (it prohibits “unreasonable” searches and seizures). Both requirements are interpreted in substantial part through evaluation of societal norms about acceptable levels of privacy from governmental intrusions. Caselaw, poll data, newspaper articles, internet sites, and other vehicles for gauging public attitudes after the September 11 attacks indicate that public concerns about terrorism and the …

Digital Game-Based Learning: It's Not Just The Digital Natives Who Are Restless, Richard Van Eck

Teaching, Leadership & Professional Practice Faculty Publications

After years of research and proselytizing, the proponents of digital game-based learning (DGBL) have been caught unaware. Like the person who is still yelling after the sudden cessation of loud music at a party, DGBL proponents have been shouting to be heard above the prejudice against games. But now, unexpectedly, we have everyone's attention. The combined weight of three factors has resulted in widespread public interest in games as learning tools.

A Unified Theory Of Constitutional Facts, David L. Faigman

ExpressO

Facts play an essential role in constitutional cases, ranging from giving meaning to the text’s words to giving those words operational effect. Yet the Supreme Court does not take facts seriously, preferring to see them as a constituent part of doctrine. The Court does not find facts, it interprets them to conform to, or buttress, conclusions reached on other grounds. This constructive view of facts has the salutary effect of consistency, in that doctrine need not change as facts, or our knowledge of the facts, change. This consistency comes at a cost, however, for doctrine built on erroneous factual premises …

Expert Eyewitness Testimony , Janine M. Kovacs

ExpressO

This paper will illustrate how the problem of wrongful convictions based on mistaken identifications in New York can be overcome by altering the investigative procedures implemented by police departments and making better use of effective trial techniques presently made available to defendants rather than by allowing expert eyewitness identification testimony at trial. Part I discusses the research that has been done concerning factors that an expert eyewitness identification witness might testify about at trial. Part II discusses the New York test that expert testimony must meet in order to be admitted at trial. Part III lists negative affects of expert …

Emotional Competence, "Rational Understanding," And The Criminal Defendant, Terry A. Maroney

ExpressO

Adjudicative competence, more commonly referred to as competence to stand trial, is a highly undertheorized area of law. Though it is well established that, to be competent, a criminal defendant must have a “rational” as well as “factual” understanding of her situation, the meaning of such “rational understanding” has gone largely undefined. Given the large number of criminal prosecutions in which competence is at issue, the doctrine’s instability stands in stark contrast to its importance.

This Article argues that adjudicative competence, properly understood, asks whether a criminal defendant has capacity to participate meaningfully in the host of decisions potentially required …

The Punishment Of Dixie Shanahan: Is There Justice For Battered Women Who Kill?, Leigh Goodmark

ExpressO

The article explores the prevailing theories justifying criminal punishment in the United States through the lens of the case of Dixie Shanahan, an Iowa woman who was sentenced to fifty years imprisonment for killing her abusive spouse after nineteen years of battering. The article begins with a detailed examination of the life of Dixie Shanahan and places her within the context of the literature on battered women who kill. The piece then looks at both retributivist and utilitarian justifications for punishment and concludes that only a retributivist rationale justifies the punishment of Ms. Shanahan and other battered women who kill, …

ExpressO

This article is intended to bring the reader up to date on developments in the federal case law relating to criminal forfeiture procedure.

Auditing Executive Discretion, Mariano-Florentino Cuellar

ExpressO

Executive branch officials routinely make thousands of decisions affecting public security and welfare. While it is rare that such discretionary decisions are entirely immune from some kind of judicial review, courts’ role is often so circumscribed or deferential that in some domains the probability of uncovering problems through such review almost certainly falls close to zero. The resulting amount of executive discretion carries considerable risks along with rewards. Some discretionary decisions undoubtedly benefit from the speed and flexibility that results from limiting judicial review. Yet judicial review’s evisceration as a tool to restrain certain forms of discretion also makes it …
