Foreword – Institutional Responsibility For Sex And Gender Exploitation, Nancy Levit

Faculty Works

Organizations are increasingly being held accountable for sex and gender exploitation perpetrated by individuals who are associated with them. The idea of litigating toward gender justice by making institutional actors responsible for various forms of sex and gender discrimination unites the articles in this Symposium.

This Foreword begins by tracking the evolution of tort law from its early vindication of isolated individual claims to its much more recent incarnation as an instrument of social reform for collective interests. The second part addresses legal impediments that prevent redress of certain types of gendered harms — ranging from areas that are virtually …

Mercenary Criminal Justice, Wayne A. Logan

Scholarly Publications

To some degree, money has always figured in criminal justice. Early on, private enforcers of the criminal law received payments for their work. Remuneration played a less explicit but still prominent role in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as public actors carried out the work of criminal justice. Today, amid significant budget pressures brought on by the Great Recession and the costs of running the nation’s massive criminal justice apparatus, courts and other system actors rely heavily on a growing number of legal financial obligations (“LFOs”) as revenue sources. When this happens, courts and other system actors become mercenaries, in …

In Re C.P.: The Ohio Supreme Court's Expansion Of Roper V. Simmons And Graham V. Florida To The Realm Of Juvenile Sex Offender Registration, Ben Blumenthal

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

In the landmark 2012 Ohio Supreme Court case In re C.P., the court held the statute mandating a minor's automatic lifetime registration as a sex offender constituted cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eight Amendment and Ohio's own constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. Additionally, the court found automatic registration ran afoul of the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause.

In re C.P. raises several critical questions. Chief amongst them is whether categorical principles enunciated in Roper v. Simmons and Graham v. Florida should even apply to juvenile sex-offender registration schemes. This question is highly relevant because an …

Analyzing The Constitutional Implications Of The Department Of Veterans Affairs' Process To Determine Incompetency: Is The Federal Government Violating The Second Amendment And Due Process, Joshua Flynn-Brown

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Over the past decade the Department of Veterans Affairs ("VA") quietly reported hundreds of thousands of veterans to the National Instant Criminal Background Check list. Placement on the list prevents veterans from obtaining firearms from federal firearms licensees, effectively precluding exercise of the fundamental right to own a firearm. As of June 1, 2012, there were 153,298 names on the list with a shocking 99.3% of them from the VA. The VA is overreporting veterans by utilizing a very low financial incompetence standard: Once it determines that a veteran requires a fiduciary to administer benefit payments, the VA reports that …

Bring Your Own Devices: A Cautionary Tale For Public Employees During Investigatory Searches, Julie Chow

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

The advancement of technology-specifically in the form of electronic communication devices-has given rise to a new phenomenon known as "Bring Your Own Device," or "BYOD," whereby employees use their personal electronic devices, such as smartphones, laptops and tablets, for work purposes. While this growing trend may be beneficial to employers and employees, it raises potential problems, especially in the area of employee privacy for those who work in state and local government. The extension of BYOD practices to public employers and government agencies raises Fourth Amendment concerns regarding whether employers may search these employee-owned devices for work purposes in the …

Passwords Please: Rethinking The Constitutional Right To Informational Privacy In The Context Of Social Media, Sara E. Stratton

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Much attention has been placed on social media privacy in the workplace. There have been several reports of public employers directing job applicants during their interview to divulge their username and password to allow the government to review the applicant's social media activity as part of a background check. This Note contends that the practice of public employers requiring applicants to provide their social media login information violates the constitutional right to informational privacy. With increasing access to the Internet and the popularity of social media, personal information on the Internet is becoming more accessible than ever before. Although the …

Field Of Dreams: Is The Movie Site's Commercialization A Dream Plan With Significant Benefits Or A Nightmare Script With Crippling Effects?, Michael J. Mcgraw

Texas A&M Journal of Property Law

This Comment will detail the field’s powerful attraction, discuss and analyze the applicable zoning laws and governing case law associated with comparable property disputes in relation to the present facts, praise the use of tax rebates to help subsidize the project, and assert that the public sector could have established even further requirements for the private business to meet before receiving such substantial public funds.

Employee Internet Privacy: A Proposed Act That Balances Legitimate Employer Rights And Employee Privacy, Susan Park

Management Faculty Publications and Presentations

When Justin Basset interviewed for a job in New York City in 2012, he expected to respond to questions one is typically asked in a job interview. However, his interview took a modern technological twist when the interviewer opened her computer and attempted to look at Mr. Basset’s Facebook profile on her computer. Unable to see the details of his profile because he had taken advantage of Facebook’s privacy options to limit public viewing, she asked for his login information to access his account. He declined and withdrew his application.¹ In 2010, Robert Collins, a Maryland Department of Public …

New Jersey Center for Water Science & Technology Reports

Flooding is a regular concern in both Little Ferry and Moonachie along the tidal Hackensack River. Although the storm surge from Hurricane Sandy highlighted their vulnerability to an extreme event, smaller more frequent events regularly occur and impact residents, commerce and the area’s transportation infrastructure. This study addressed improvements to the stormwater drainage system for storm events that are limited to a storm surge that reaches the vertical extent of the protective berms surrounding the area. The proposed flood remedies take into account both the scale of the remedy itself as well as the event. The scales investigated are 1.) …
