Easy Prisoner Cases, Lisa Kerr

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

In prisoner litigation, straightforward victory is rare. Win or lose, prisoners most often remain in the custody of officials who continue to wield substantial power over them. And even where claims succeed, courts may design legal tests in ways that are deferential over time to the claims and preferences of prison authorities. Prisoners prevailed in two recent Supreme Court of Canada cases that involved, first, post-sentencing legislative changes to parole entitlements and, second, a decision to transfer a prisoner to a higher security setting. In Canada (Attorney General) v. Whaling, the Court protected prisoner expectations at sentencing regarding the length …

Towards A Public Law Of Privacy: Meeting The Big Data Challenge, Lisa M. Austin

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

Privacy law, to the extent that it regulates state information practices, wears two “public” hats. The first hat is constitutional law. For example, the Canadian Charter protects privacy through protecting individuals against unreasonable searches and seizures. The second hat is public sector data protection law modelled on what are known as Fair Information Practices (FIPs). For example, in Canada the federal Privacy Act regulates the collection, use and disclosure of personal information held by government institutions and provides individuals with a right of access to that information. The constitutional hat is concerned with state-individual relations in the context of law …

Hospital Knows Best: Court And Unfit Accused At The Mercy Of Hospital Administrators: The Case Of R. V. Conception, Suzan E. Fraser

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

This article analyzes the Supreme Court’s 2014 decision in R. v. Conception which considered the treatment order provisions of the Criminal Code, finding that a court may not make a forthwith treatment order without the consent of the hospital except in rare cases where a delay would breach the accused’s rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter). This article argues that the case represents a departure from three decades of legal developments in the sphere of civil and forensic mental health law unified by the principles of restraint and oversight. Further, the article suggests that the decision …

A Step Forward Or Just A Sidestep? Year Five Of The Supreme Court Of Canada In The Digital Age, Nader R. Hasan

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

Over the past five years, the Supreme Court of Canada has released a series of decisions meant to bring section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms into the Digital Age. These decisions acknowledged the unique privacy interests that people have in the information stored on their digital devices and the potential for modern technology to eviscerate privacy if the law of search and seizure does not keep pace with technological development. There is a danger, however, that recent victories for privacy in the courts will be illusory unless the courts develop additional manner of search limits on …

Secundum Civilis: The Constitution As An Enlightenment Code, Derek Warden

Journal of Civil Law Studies

The American Constitution has been the subject of heated debate since its formation. This article simply introduces a new argument. It suggests that there exists a “form”1 of an Enlightenment era code, which is met by the Constitution, and that the requirements of this form can be derived from inspection of the three great codes of the time: the Prussian, the Austrian, and the French. It further notes that these requirements are (1) Roman law influence; (2) natural law influence; and (3) that they perform the same functions—they abrogate the prior laws on their respective subjects and they are “complete” …

Explaining Crimmigration In Indonesia: A Discourse Of The Fight Against People Smuggling, Irregular Migration Control, And Symbolic Criminalization, Anugerah Rizki Akbari

Indonesia Law Review

Controlling migration in the world's largest archipelago brings various challenges to Indonesian authorities that differ from other countries. The difficulties become even more complicated since Indonesia has been known as the most favorite transit country for people who want to migrate to Australia due to its strategic geographical location, which is situated between the continents of Asia and Australia and between the Pacific and Indian oceans. Following this, the decision of choosing the mechanism of criminal law to deal with irregular migration from the start leads Indonesia to its acknowledgment as a country who is vulnerable to the trend of …

The Politics Of Official English: Exploring The Intentions And The Outcomes Behind English-Only Policies In The United States, David Gonzalez Nieto

Graduate Doctoral Dissertations

Although the Constitution did not declare English the official language of the United States, its complete linguistic dominance in such a linguistically diverse nation is unparalleled. Despite its supremacy, the last three decades have witnessed a renewed nationalistic movement that claims the role of English is threatened and that its establishment as the official language of the United States is crucial to protect the language and the unity of the nation.

So far, attempts to institutionalize English at the federal level have failed, but 28 states have adopted English as their official language and/or legislation that limits the use of …

Police Perceptions Of Their External Legitimacy In High And Low Crime Areas Of The Community, Justin Nix

Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

Until recently, police legitimacy research has primarily focused on citizen perceptions of the police. However, it may be that the police believe citizens associate other factors, such as distributive justice or performance, with legitimacy. The present study adds to the literature by surveying a nationally representative sample of U.S. police officers about how they believe citizens residing in high and low crime areas of the community evaluate police in terms of legitimacy. Findings suggest that respondents believe procedural justice and distributive justice are important to citizens of both areas in terms of generating trust. At the same time, respondents believe …

Drive Toward Freedom: African American: The Story Of Black Automobility In The Fight For Civil Rights, Xavier Macy

Masters Theses, 2010-2019

Looking across the 20^th century, this thesis seeks to understand the relationship African Americans developed between automobility and the fight for civil rights, filling a gap left in the historiography of both the automobile and the Civil Rights Movement. Historians of the automobile have almost exclusively focused their lens on white suburbia and the “autotopias” that Americans created, while historians of the Civil Rights Movement ignored the automobile entirely. This thesis hopes to begin to fill that void by explaining how African Americans exploited the technological system of the automobile to create forms of transportation accessible to African American …

The End Of Law: The Isil Case Study For A Comprehensive Theory Of Lawlessness, Frédéric Gilles Sourgens

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article has five parts. Part I sets out and adopts the basic premises of the jurisprudential perspective championed by Professor Reisman and sketches his argument that legal solutions can always be fashioned in a meaningful and realistic manner. Part II discusses the development of ISIL in the Middle East. Part III analyzes the lawlessness problem created by ISIL for the affected local communities and explains how loss of control, left unattended, transforms into a loss of authority of prescription by destroying the social fabric needed for legal processes to have meaning. Part IV develops how municipal lawlessness has a …

Covernance: Feminist Theory, The Islamic Veil, And The Strasbourg Court's Jurisprudence On Religious Dress-Appearance Restrictions, Amina Haleem

DePaul Journal of Women, Gender and the Law

This paper explores how the human right of religious freedom has been conceptually and pragmatically developed under international law within the European Court of Human Rights as applied to veiled Muslim women. This paper analyzes the application of human rights guarantees as established in the European Convention on Human Rights and case law established by the European Court that has interpreted international documents to determine the religious freedoms of veiled Muslim women in the public sphere. The analytical framework identifies the divergence between liberal and third wave feminist approaches to the Islamic veil, and identifies the feminist approaches to international …
