A Taking By Any Other Name: Why Exclusionary Zoning Should Be Classified As A Per Se Taking, Matthew J. Ruppel

Seattle University Law Review Online

The housing affordability crisis in U.S. cities, particularly on the West Coast, has been well publicized in recent years, and the search for solutions has drawn together allies from across the ideological spectrum. While various cities and states have rolled out many types of reforms, there remains a widespread regulatory failure preventing the adaptation of cities to modern demands. A primary culprit is exclusionary zoning: plot-by-plot designation of which types of structures can be built on a piece of property— particularly which types of structures are absolutely prohibited from being built—and the broad definitional standards to which those structures must …

Empowering Change Through Raizal Perspectives On Prison Education In San Andrés Island, Sigifredo Castell Britton

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Raizal ex-offenders on San Andrés Island, Colombia, encounter significant challenges when reintegrating into their community, often compounded by ineffective prison education programs and the unique sociocultural dynamics of the Raizal community. While previous researchers have identified barriers to successful reintegration, a deeper understanding of the lived experiences of Raizal ex-offenders and the perspectives of community leaders is needed. This phenomenological study, guided by culturally responsive pedagogy and social disorganization theory, was conducted to explore these experiences and perspectives. Through semistructured interviews with 10 Raizal ex-offenders and 10 community leaders, data were collected to examine the effectiveness of current prison education …

State V. Cloutier: Implied Invitees, Pretext And Plain View Under The Fourth Amendment, Dennis M. Doiron

Maine Law Review

Law enforcement officers often have occasion to follow the path to the front door of a residence in order to speak to its occupant. Upon answering the door, the occupant may hear a complaint about his barking dog, a query as to whether he witnessed the burglary next door, or a plea seeking support for the police department's Christmas charity drive. Occasionally, a police officer follows the path to a person's door and unexpectedly observes incriminating evidence or activities. In such cases, the police officer's conduct generates the issue of whether his observation implicates the fourth amendment's prohibition against unreasonable …
