Blurred Lines: Did Booker Change Federal Sentencing Outcomes?, Hugh M. Mundy Jun 2026

Blurred Lines: Did Booker Change Federal Sentencing Outcomes?, Hugh M. Mundy

Pace Law Review

This article considers whether United States v. Booker, the 2005 Supreme Court decision that replaced the then-mandatory federal sentencing guidelines system with an advisory scheme, had any enduring impact on sentencing outcomes. Commemorating Booker’s recent twentieth anniversary requires a balancing act: at once, recognizing the decision’s watershed impact while avoiding claims of lasting change where little exists. The criminal defense community hailed the ruling as a kind of liberation from the guidelines’ dispassionate rigidity. Today, while most lawyers and defendants would still prefer the current system, a legitimate question exists about Booker’s actual effect on federal sentencing. I propose that …


The Constitutionality Of The Special Trial Counsel Under The Apogee Of Judicial Deference, Josef Danczuk Jun 2026

The Constitutionality Of The Special Trial Counsel Under The Apogee Of Judicial Deference, Josef Danczuk

Pace Law Review

Congress has undertaken some of its broadest reforms of military courts-martial in decades. The creation of the Special Trial Counsels (STCs) intentionally removes nearly all courts-martial powers from military commanders for “covered offenses,” some of the most serious prosecutions. Many commentators have expressed concern that this change untethers the courts-martial system from its historical anchor of discipline within the military—an anchor that the Supreme Court has used to grant exceptional deference to Congress for its legislation pursuant to the Make Rules Clause. However, the constitutionality of the STCs and the deference federal courts grant Congress in this realm should not …

On The Fractional Laplacian Type Operator, Maysam Abdulnaser Zain Jun 2026

On The Fractional Laplacian Type Operator, Maysam Abdulnaser Zain

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

In this thesis, we study analytical structures arising from Dunkl theory and their applications to harmonic analysis and fractional Laplacian operators. Dunkl operators are differential-difference operators associated with finite reflection groups, providing a natural generalization of the classical Fourier analysis through the introduction of root systems and multiplicity functions. Within this framework, several classical transforms appear as special cases of the (k,a)-generalized Fourier transform. We study the generalized Fourier transform, its kernel, and the associated translation operator and convolution structures. Using these tools, we construct the corresponding heat kernel and analyze the associated heat semigroup. Our main contribution concerns the …


Structure-Property Relationship In Low-Dimensional Cesium Metal Halides: Coordination Chemistry, Luminescent Mechanism And Optoelectronics Applications, Sheikh Jobe Jun 2026

Structure-Property Relationship In Low-Dimensional Cesium Metal Halides: Coordination Chemistry, Luminescent Mechanism And Optoelectronics Applications, Sheikh Jobe

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

Low-dimensional metal halides are gaining popularity in optoelectronic applications owing to their interesting optical properties and structural diversity. In general, low-dimensional metal halides refer to one-dimensional and zero-dimensional structures. The main difference between the two is that one-dimensional structures have chain-like connectivity, whereas zero-dimensional structures consist of isolated units. Their optical properties are mainly determined by the B-site metal ion, which is coordinated to halide ions in trigonal, tetrahedral, or octahedral geometry. In particular, copper (I) and manganese (II) metal halides are emerging as novel materials for solid-state lighting, and anti-counterfeiting applications. The two well-known phases of cesium copper (I) …

The Trauma Challenge: Are You Ready To Lead With Trust-Based Relational Intervention?, Tara Quinn-Schuldt Dr., Patrick Walker, Melinda Meadow, Megan Jance

Southeast Conference on School Climate

In today’s educational landscape, understanding trauma isn’t optional, it’s essential. The Cherokee County School District has transformed from trauma-aware to trauma-responsive through intentional implementation and the creation of its connectED cohort training model. Combining strategic district-wide staff, including administrators, teachers, school support personnel, nurses, and resource officers—we created a collective approach to improving school climate, culture, and overall student outcomes. This comprehensive model integrates mental health, attachment theory, behavior intervention, and trauma responsiveness into the educational environment. This session shares evidence-based tools, a trauma-responsiveness assessment template, and strategies to address contradictions and strengthen trauma-responsive practices.

The War For American Independence Was Biblical And Just*, Mark David Hall Jun 2026

The War For American Independence Was Biblical And Just*, Mark David Hall

Journal of Law and Government

In his essay, Mark David Hall presents an overview of Christian scholarship on the question of whether the War for American Independence is biblical and just. He then considers Romans 13 and shows that Protestants, especially Calvinists, came to interpret these verses to permit active resistance to tyrannical rulers. Finally, he discusses the conflict in light of the just war tradition and contends that the patriots had excellent reasons to believe their active resistance was biblical and just.
