Consumer Fraud Victimization In Florida: An Empirical Study, Kristy Holtfreter, Michael D. Reisig, Thomas G. Blomberg Jan 2006

Consumer Fraud Victimization In Florida: An Empirical Study, Kristy Holtfreter, Michael D. Reisig, Thomas G. Blomberg

St. Thomas Law Review

Defined in general legal terms, fraud refers to "[a] knowing misrepresentation of the truth or concealment of a material fact to induce another to act to his or her detriment."' More specifically, consumer fraud is a form of economic crime that "involves some form of communication between victim and offender," and includes "the deliberate deception of the victim with the promise of goods, services, or other benefits that are nonexistent, unnecessary, were never intended to be provided, or were grossly misrepresented." This form of illegal activity is a serious problem in the United States. Recent estimates show that nearly one-half …


The Impact Of The 9/11 Attacks On National Security Law Casebooks, Tung Yin Jan 2006

The Impact Of The 9/11 Attacks On National Security Law Casebooks, Tung Yin

St. Thomas Law Review

In this book review, I use the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent American responses as a framework for reviewing four casebooks currently available for use in courses on national security or antiterrorism. It is hardly surprising that law professors might themselves respond to the 9/11 attacks by adjusting content in appropriate courses. While casebooks may have other uses, their primary purpose is undoubtedly intended to be in law school courses. In turn, law school courses have a number of goals, among them the imparting of substantive knowledge in the particular field of law, as well as the development of students' …


Streamlining Habeas Corpus While Undermining Judicial Review: How 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254(D)(1) Violates The Constitution, Muhammad U. Faridi Jan 2006

Streamlining Habeas Corpus While Undermining Judicial Review: How 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254(D)(1) Violates The Constitution, Muhammad U. Faridi

St. Thomas Law Review

Although this article focuses on the writ of habeas corpus as filed by prisoners in state custody and as regulated by 28 U.S.C. § 2254, the recent developments involving the writ as filed by prisoners in federal custody and as regulated by 28 U.S.C. § 2241 are worth noting. Section II of Justice Steven's majority opinion in Rasul v. Bush2 deserves reading and re-reading because it recognizes the importance of the writ of habeas corpus in American jurisprudence. Section IV of the opinion holds that even "[a]liens held at the [Guantanamo Bay] base, no less than American citizens, are entitled …

Court Review: Volume 43, Issue 2 – The Legislatures, The Ballot Boxes, And The Courts, William Raftery Jan 2006

Court Review: Volume 43, Issue 2 – The Legislatures, The Ballot Boxes, And The Courts, William Raftery

Court Review: Journal of the American Judges Association

As a separation-of-powers matter, the nation’s framers and their state counterparts placed some distance between the legislative and judiciary branches so that each might better serve the people. Of course, the separation between the two branches has not prevented legislation impacting the courts year in and year out, much of which could reasonably be described as changes that potentially infringe on the independence, fairness, and impartiality of the courts. (I term these “attacks on the courts.”) Moreover, the issue has been compounded lately by a series of efforts in initiative and referendum states to achieve by the ballot box what …

The Federal Judicial Power And The International Legal Order, Curtis A. Bradley Jan 2006

The Federal Judicial Power And The International Legal Order, Curtis A. Bradley

Articles

Richard Falk famously argued that domestic courts should operate as "agents of the international order."1 Recent academic debates over the role of international law in the U.S. legal system, and over the relevance of foreign and international materials in U.S. constitutional interpretation, are at least in part debates about this proposition. Modern variants of Falk's claim can be found in the works of scholars such as Harold Koh, Jennifer Martinez, and Anne-Marie Slaughter.2 These and other "internationalist" scholars consider the U.S. judiciary as part of a "global community of courts,"emphasize the values of international cross-fertilization and harmonization, and …

The Role Of Mental Health Problems In Explaining Violent Behaviors In Children And Adolescents Over The Lifecourse: An Exploratory Study, Denise Paquette Boots Jan 2006

The Role Of Mental Health Problems In Explaining Violent Behaviors In Children And Adolescents Over The Lifecourse: An Exploratory Study, Denise Paquette Boots

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Juvenile violence is a phenomenon that consistently garners great attention in the media, the public, and across a multitude of academic disciplines. A growing body of literature in developmental and lifecourse criminology has called for innovative research to further investigate the causes and correlates of serious juvenile offenders. Toward this end, the present study uses prospective, longitudinal data from the Pittsburgh Youth Study (PYS) to gauge the temporal impact of childhood and adolescent mental health problems on the development of serious offending behaviors in boys. Borrowing largely from the work of Achenbach and colleagues (2001), data from parent and teacher …

Receiving his early education in the public schools of Los Angeles, Mr. Johnson began his undergraduate education at Princeton University and then transferred to Claremont College in 1973. He remained in Los Angeles for law school, earning his law degree at the University of …


Goliath Has The Slingshot: Public Benefit And Private Enforcement Of Minnesota Consumer Protection Laws, Prentiss Cox Jan 2006

Goliath Has The Slingshot: Public Benefit And Private Enforcement Of Minnesota Consumer Protection Laws, Prentiss Cox

Articles

The phrase "consumer protection case" may conjure up a used-car buyer trying to get recompense for a vehicle that turned out to be less than promised, or an elderly homeowner victimized by predatory lending tactics trying to maintain possession of her home. In August 2000, the private right of action to enforce Minnesota consumer protection laws was held to be something entirely different. After the Minnesota Supreme Court's decision in Ly v. Nystrom, 1 a business complaining about a competitor's advertising is more likely to have available a private right of action to enforce these laws than either the frustrated …


A Law And Economics Perspective On Terrorism, Francesco Parisi, Nuno Garoupa, Jonathan Klick Jan 2006

A Law And Economics Perspective On Terrorism, Francesco Parisi, Nuno Garoupa, Jonathan Klick

Articles

This paper reviews the existing law and economics literature on crime, noting where various models might apply to the terror context. Specifically, it focuses on two strands of the literature, deterrence and incapacitation. It considers anti-terror measures enacted by different countries, highlighting how the details of the laws correspond to the insights from economic models of crime. In conclusion, the paper proposes an efficient sorting mechanism in which individuals will be provided with incentives to reveal their type to law enforcement authorities.


Political Violence And Gender In Times Of Transition, Fionnuala Ní Aoláin Jan 2006

Political Violence And Gender In Times Of Transition, Fionnuala Ní Aoláin

Articles

At the heart of transitional justice discourse is an ongoing conversation about accountability for human rights violations that occur in a context of regime repression or violent conflict. That accountability dialogue has generally been preoccupied with attempts to define the forms of political violence that should be addressed by various formal and informal mechanisms, such as trials and other truth-seeking processes. This Article will examine the multiple ways in which transitional justice processes have conceptualized political violence, and how that maps onto a gendered understanding of violence experiences and accountability mechanisms in a transitional context.
