Long Live The Lie Bill!, Lucila I. Van Dam

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

What successful defamation plaintiffs typically desire and doctrinally deserve is to have their reputations restored. Presently, however, a plaintiff who has established that she was defamed by the defendant is entitled only to an award of damages, which does nothing to restore reputation. This Note proposes that in addition to a damages award, courts-- if they are to take seriously their obligation to compensate the plaintiff-- should order the defendant to retract the defamatory statement. Contrary to the prevailing view, this Note argues that the proposed retraction order does not jeopardize the First Amendment guarantee of free expression.

Administrative Law, Martin M. Wilson, Jennifer A. Blackburn

Mercer Law Review

Today, the topic may be voter photo identification cards. Tomorrow, teacher discipline may be on the agenda. With administrative law, many of the front-burner issues that appear in the news are decided according to administrative procedures, and those cases generally are well ahead of litigation entering the court system. This Article surveys cases from the Georgia Supreme Court and the Georgia Court of Appeals from June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008. There has been a deliberate attempt to omit cases that would likely be included in other traditional topics for articles in this volume. While there may be cases …

The Supreme Courts: Did September 11th Accelerate Their Sanctioning The Constitutionality Of Criminalizing Suspicion?, Dannye Holley

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

“This article evaluates whether the nation‘s highest appellate courts have, on balance, been more willing to acquiesce to criminalization based on suspicion since the attacks on the World Trade Center seven years ago. The article seeks to accomplish this evaluation by comparing decisions of the United States and state supreme courts in the six years prior to September 2001 with decisions in the six years following the terrorist attack— have the courts with the greatest authority to sanction the criminalization of suspicion been more willing to do just that? Such a post-September 11th trend would be significant because, despite the …

Wherefore Art Thou Guidelines? An Empirical Study Of White-Collar Criminal Sentencing And How The Gall Decision Effectively Eliminated The Sentencing Guidelines, S. Patrick Morin

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

[Excerpt] “Until the passage of the U.S. Federal Sentencing Guidelines in 1984, federal judges had relatively wide discretion in sentencing federal offenders up to the statutory maximum. This judicial discretion led to a disparity in the sentences of similarly situated offenders, particularly in white-collar cases. The Guidelines attempted to eliminate this disparity by establishing maximum and minimum sentences for certain offenses based on the characteristics of the crime. An important feature of the Guidelines system was its mandatory nature, which decreased and structured the judiciary‘s discretion within bounds set by Congress.

The mandatory application of the Guidelines resulted in stiff …

The Rhetoric Of Predictability: Reclaiming The Lay Ear In Music Copyright Infringement Litigation, Austin Padgett

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

[Excerpt] “Some things cannot be described. This is the theory that recent literary criticism has placed as its cornerstone. Philosopher-critic Roland Barthes identified this trend in his Mythologies, stating that critics often “suddenly decide that the true subject of criticism is ineffable, and criticism, as a consequence, unnecessary. Unfortunately, this view has become singular within the legal academy whenever an author discusses music copyright infringement analysis. It seems that scholars fear the thought of trusting a jury with such an “ineffable” subject as music and must propose alternatives, such as expert testimony, specialized courts, or mechanical analysis, that will diminish …

Room-Temperature Single-Electron Devices Based On Cmos Fabrication Technology, Vishva Priyo Ray

Material Science and Engineering Dissertations - Archive

Single-electron devices, in which the transport and storage of individual electrons is precisely controlled, have many potential benefits in the field of electronics, optics, and sensors. Fabrication of these devices requires the arrangement of device components (Coulomb island, source, drain, and gate electrodes) with nanometer scale precision. Although several methods have successfully demonstrated single-electron behavior, large-scale fabrication of single-electron devices has not been possible.This research aims to - * Come up with a method which would allow the fabrication of single-electron devices on a large scale,* Make the fabrication method compatible with current CMOS technology, and,* Enable room-temperature operation of …
