The Unconstitutional Overcriminalization Of “Voter Fraud” By Formerly Incarcerated Felons, Garfield Mcintyre Jr.

Georgia Criminal Law Review

Felon voting rights are under attack in the United States. State Attorneys’ General are using overbroad “voter fraud” statutes to prosecute formerly incarcerated persons voting or attempting to vote—even when done mistakenly. Worse, their public-facing rationale, voter fraud, has been repeatedly discredited. Some combination of Congress, the courts, and the people must act to prevent any such future prosecutions from occurring, particularly where it is shown that there was no intent to violate the law. Some have argued for more localized solutions like lobbying state legislators to change the law. But those efforts have, except in rare circumstances, failed.

Clearly, …

Christian Realism And The Sins Of Mass Incarceration, Jeffrey R. Baker

Georgia Criminal Law Review

This article is a study of Reinhold Niebuhr’s Christian Realism, a progressive school of social ethics rooted in Christian theology, and its critical evaluation of American mass incarceration. Christian Realism seeks justice in society under law, formed by love as its fundamental organizing principle. It acknowledges a world with endemic structural injustices and social immorality, but it finds temperate hope in the human potential for love, redemption, and generosity. Christian Realism reckons that any institution committed to justice must inevitably compromise to achieve incremental progress toward good. But it projects steady, hopeful progress toward justice, even as systems calibrate …

A Lawless Judiciary: The Gilded Age And Today, Michael D. Cicchini

Georgia Criminal Law Review

The American journalist Ambrose Bierce, who wrote in the late 1800s, was a fierce critic of the judiciary. He lampooned judges for their defective reasoning, arbitrary decisions, and ignorance of the law; he criticized their practice of legislating from the bench and even exposed their outright corruption. Bierce’s work was highly entertaining—in a satirical, cynical way. Yet, as law professor J. Gordon Hylton explained, “beneath the humor and the bitterness of his work lay a sophisticated understanding of the shortcomings of the late nineteenth-century bench and bar.”

This Essay examines Bierce’s criticisms of the judiciary and asks this question: After …

Overwhelming Unfairness: Pervasive Intentional Prosecutorial Misconduct, Structural Error, And State V. Arias, Christopher Boorse

Georgia Criminal Law Review

This article argues that in federal constitutional law, pervasive intentional prosecutorial misconduct always requires reversal of a criminal conviction. That is so for three reasons. First, since a trial pervaded by unfairness is an unfair trial, such a conviction violates the Donnelly fundamental-fairness rule. Second, such a due-process violation can never be found harmless under either the Kotteakos or the Chapman harmless-error test, properly interpreted. Third, pervasive intentional misconduct always or usually fits all but one of the Supreme Court’s seven descriptions of structural error. In particular, it always fits all three rationales on the Court’s most recent list.

Establishing Criminal Justice Safety Teams: Theoretical Foundations, Practical Implementation, And State Leadership, Boaz Sangero, Hagit Turjeman, Yosef Zohar

Georgia Criminal Law Review

In hazardous areas, the need for safety measures is self-evident and substantial efforts are dedicated to their implementation. In the criminal justice system, significant hazards exist, notably the wrongful conviction of innocent individuals, but the need for safety mechanisms has not been internalized. One explanation for this oversight is the mistaken belief that the criminal justice system is nearly error-free. Yet, research has consistently demonstrated that wrongful convictions are not uncommon, representing one of the most significant injustices a liberal state can impose on its citizens and residents. Therefore, it is the duty of the state to introduce robust safety …

Study Of ~-Topological Space By ~-Binary Relation In Cluster System, Mustafa Hasan Hadi, Luay Abd Al Haine Al Swidi

Iraqi Journal for Computer Science and Mathematics

In this paper, we introduced a new type of operators, which we called ~-operator by cluster system, and studied its properties without conditions and with certain conditions. Through our study of this operator, we defined a new topology, which we called ~-topological space, since it does not, in general, constitute a regular topological space. We also presented ~-interior points, ~-closure, ~-exterior points and reviewed some theories and examples about this concept.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells As Cornerstones Of Regenerative Medicine: Mechanisms, Applications, And Future Perspectives, Hasan M. Agha, Mohammed A. Abdalqader, Jantson Hoh, Yacoub Wassouf, Khudhur Abbas Ahmed Al-Saadawi, Amjad Abdulhadi Mohammed, Muneer Mohammed Saleh Alsayadi

AUIQ Complementary Biological System

Regenerative medicine is a multidisciplinary domain focused on restoring, repairing, or replacing damaged tissues and organs by harnessing the body’s inherent healing abilities with sophisticated biological and technical techniques. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have become fundamental among many stem cell types because to their self-renewal, multipotency, paracrine signaling, and immunomodulatory capabilities. Their therapeutic adaptability has been shown in orthopedic, cardiovascular, neurological, dermatological, and immune-mediated illnesses, underscoring their clinical significance. Nonetheless, obstacles like donor heterogeneity, senescence during in vitro growth, restricted engraftment, and regulatory impediments persist in limiting repeatability and broad clinical use. Recent advancements are enhancing the capabilities of MSCs …

Ole Miss Student Joins National Presidential Fellows Program, Marisa C. Atkinson

University of Mississippi News

OXFORD, Miss. – With plans to eventually give back to Mississippi, Ole Miss senior and "nonstop" political science major Edward Hunter will channel his inner Alexander Hamilton, "reading every treatise on the shelf," as part of his new academic honor.

The Appellate Term affirmed the dismissal of a landlord's holdover petition seeking to evict a rent-stabilized tenant for non-primary residence. The landlord based its claim on the tenant's two-year absence while recovering from a stroke in a rehabilitation facility. The court found the absence excusable for primary residence purposes, supported by evidence of the tenant's discharge plan and return. It further concluded that the landlord was not unfairly surprised by the tenant's medical condition defense, as the petition itself acknowledged the tenant's stroke and need for care, and the tenant's answer had raised the possibility of a reasonable accommodation.

Strategies For Standardizing Nurses’ Pay To Mitigate Equal Pay Regulatory Fines, Pamela Davis

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Business leaders face pressure from community and government officials to standardize employee wages. Fines and litigation risks can be substantial for employers who fail to comply with equal pay regulations. Grounded in the wage devaluation theory and the equity theory, the purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore strategies healthcare leaders use to standardize wages and ensure compliance with equal pay regulations. Participants were four senior healthcare human resource leaders of private nonprofit hospital systems in the United States who have been successful in standardizing wages and in being compliant with equal pay regulations. Data were collected …

"Have You Met My Lawyer?" And "Making Lists Of What Was Lost", Kirsten Anderson

Loyola Interdisciplinary Journal of Public Interest Law

The theme of what justice looks like for those experiencing homelessness finds expression in two poems by social justice lawyer and poet Kirsten Anderson. Based on her nearly two decades of representing clients experiencing homelessness, she explores the nature of the client-lawyer relationship in a society where lawyers are usually only available to persons with wealth and power. Both poems explore the consequences of housing not being recognized as a human right—given visible expression in a humanitarian crisis of homelessness in a country where the rent is unaffordable for more than half the population.

The first poem, “Have you met …

These fires were the most catastrophic in all of Los Angeles County's history. The speakers discussed the challenges faced by displaced communities amid ongoing housing shortages, as well as the broader implications for housing policy and zoning. The conversation examined how attorneys, policy makers and the …

From Bets To Threats: The Impact Of Murphy On Student-Athletes, Rachel Bender

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

The United States is experiencing a surge in the sports betting market following the Supreme Court’s 2018 decision to open the door for legalization. College sports, a beloved tradition for decades, has only become more popular with the rise of social media, which allows fans to interact with the athletes directly without ever leaving their homes. Due to this accessibility and popularity, it is easy to see why sports betting and collegiate sports would go hand in hand. With the legalization of sports betting, fans are no longer just viewers of the game; they are investors. Fans can place proposition …

Intracellular Lactate Dynamics In Drosophila Neurons, Matthew S Price, Elham Rastegari, Richa Gupta, Katie Vo, Travis I Moore, Kartik Venkatachalam

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Rates of lactate production and consumption reflect the metabolic state of many cell types, including neurons. Here, we investigated the effects of nutrient deprivation on lactate dynamics in Drosophila neurons by leveraging the limiting effects of the unstirred layer, a diffusion barrier that forms around cells in culture. We found that neurons constitutively consume lactate when the availability of trehalose, a glucose disaccharide preferred by insects, is limited by the unstirred layer. Acute mechanical disruption of the unstirred layer reduced this reliance on lactate. Through kinetic modeling and experimental validation, we demonstrate that neuronal lactate consumption rates under unstirred layer …

Racial Noticing In Mathematics Teacher Education: Unpacking Southern White Christian Teacher Candidates' Reflections On Data Investigations Of Issues Of Systemic Racism, Liza Bondurant, Anthony Fernandes, Travis Weiland

Publications

In this article, we examine how southern white Christian secondary mathematics teacher candidates reflected on racial inequities in academic opportunities and school discipline after engaging with data sets highlighting such disparities. Using a lens of racial noticing, informed by Leonardo’s (2009) conceptualization of whiteness as a racial discourse that normalizes white dominance, we analyze candidates’ written reflections to identify how they interpreted and responded to issues of race in mathematics education. Two dominant themes emerged: the normalization of implicit biases and the tensions between aspiring to objectivity and acknowledging subjectivity in educational practices. Both patterns aligned with whiteness by obscuring …

The Perfect Host: Jwst Cepheid Observations In A Background-Free Type Ia Supernova Host Confirm No Bias In Hubble-Constant Measurements, Adam G. Riess, Siyang Li, Gagandeep S. Anand, Wenlong Yuan, Louise Breuval, Stefano Casertano, Lucas M. Macri, Dan Scolnic, Yukei S. Murakami, Alexei V. Filippenko

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

Cycle 1 JWST observations of Cepheids in Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) hosts resolved their red-giant-dominated near-infrared backgrounds, sharply reducing crowding and showing that photometric bias in lower-resolution Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data does not account for the Hubble tension. We present cycle 2 JWST observations of >100 Cepheids in NGC 3447, a unique system that pushes this test to the limit by transitioning from low to no background contamination. NGC 3447, an SN Ia host at D ≈ 25 Mpc, is an interacting pair comprising (i) a spiral with mixed stellar populations, typical of H0 calibrators, and (ii) a …

Myths And Magical Thinking: American Civil Religion, The Establishment Clause, And “Codified Irrationality” In Anti-Crt Measures, Kyle Reinhard

Journal of Civil Rights and Economic Development

(Excerpt)

In Part I, I preview some of the overlapping tensions in U.S. public schooling created by the occasionally competing mandates of education federalism and democratic theory; describe the current state of the law with respect to the constitutionality of state and local governments seeking to inculcate (allegedly) prosocial community values in curriculum; and consider how battles over the meaning of “patriotism” through the decades show that ideology and religion often blend—and still, inevitably, make it—into the public square broadly nonetheless.

In Part II, I describe how religion is a useful tool, both descriptively and as a constitutional jurisprudential framework, …

Whose Right(S)?: Civil Rights Impact Of Cultural Conflicts In The Curriculum, S. David Mitchell

Journal of Civil Rights and Economic Development

(Excerpt)

Opponents of anti-woke legislation have challenged the presumption that the topics being taught are divisive or designed to indoctrinate students with a liberal or Left leaning ideology. Instead, they argue that these topics tell the unvarnished history of the United States. Furthermore, opponents have also challenged the asserted legality and validity of anti-woke legislation, arguing that the legislation infringes upon the First Amendment, specifically students’ and teachers’ academic freedom, students’ right to learn, and parents’ right to direct and control the education of their children. Unlike other controversial topics such as sexual education, which are taught in courses that …
