Should The Government Have The Unrestricted Power To Dismiss Meritorious Qui Tam Actions Brought Under The False Claims Act?: A Closer Look At Why The Government Should Not Be Held To A Judicially Imposed Standard, Wallace Stage
FIU Law Review
The False Claims Act was originally enacted during the Civil War as a result of concerns that the Union Army would attempt to defraud the Government. Since then, the False Claims Act has evolved and grown into an extremely useful tool that allows individuals to bring civil actions for various reasons on behalf of the United States Government. Under the False Claims Act, an individual may bring acivil action, often referred to as a qui tam action, on behalf of the United States Government for violations of the False Claims Act. After an individual brings this type of action, the …

Police Misconduct, Video Recording, And Procedural Barriers To Rights Enforcement, Howard M. Wasserman
Police Misconduct, Video Recording, And Procedural Barriers To Rights Enforcement, Howard M. Wasserman
Faculty Publications
The story of police reform and of "policing the police" has become the story of video and video evidence, and "record everything to know the truth" has become the singular mantra. Video, both police-created and citizen-created, has become the singular tool for ensuring police accountability, reforming law enforcement, and enforcing the rights of victims of police misconduct. This Article explores procedural problems surrounding the use of video recording and video evidence to counter police misconduct, hold individual officers and governments accountable, and reform departmental policies, regulations, and practices. It considers four issues: 1) the mistaken belief that video can "speak …

This article, which is based on the research conducted for the General Report ‘Relief in Small and Simple Matters in an Age of Austerity’ presented at the XV World Congress of Procedural Law, provides a contextualised and broad overview of these phenomena in the United States. After describing the general features of the federal and state judiciaries, including its adversarial model of judging, and the importance of the jury system, the article turns its attention to discuss the factors that affect the cost of litigation in the United States, the different models of litigation funding, the available legal aid mechanisms, …
Mixed Signals On Summary Judgment, Howard Wasserman
Mixed Signals On Summary Judgment, Howard Wasserman
Faculty Publications
This essay examines three cases from the Supreme Court’s October Term 2013 addressing the standards for summary judgment. In one case, the Court affirmed summary judgment against a civil-rights plaintiff, in a continued erroneous over-reliance on the certainty of video evidence. In two other cases, the Court rejected the grant of summary judgment against civil-rights plaintiffs, arguably for the first time in quite a while. This essay unpacks the substance and procedure underlying all three decisions and considers the effect of the three cases and what signals they send to lower courts and litigants about the proper approach to summary …

A Jurisdictional Perspective On New York Times V. Sullivan, Howard M. Wasserman
A Jurisdictional Perspective On New York Times V. Sullivan, Howard M. Wasserman
Faculty Publications
New York Times v. Sullivan, arguably the Supreme Court's most significant First Amendment decision, marks its fiftieth anniversary next year. Often overlooked in discussions of the case's impact on the freedom of speech and freedom of the press is that it arose from a complex puzzle of constitutional, statutory, and judge-made jurisdictional and procedural rules. These kept the case in hostile Alabama state courts for four years and a half-million-dollar judgment before the Times and its civil rights leader co-defendants finally could avail themselves of the structural protections of federal court and Article III judges. The case's outcome and …

Iqbal, Procedural Mismatches, And Civil Rights Litigation, Howard M. Wasserman
Iqbal, Procedural Mismatches, And Civil Rights Litigation, Howard M. Wasserman
Faculty Publications
Understanding the twin pleading cases of Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly and Ashcroft v. Iqbal from the vantage point of only a few months (or even years) requires as much prediction as explanation. Early confusion is a product of the long-heralded link between substance and procedure. What we are seeing now may be less about Court-imposed changes to procedure as about changes to substantive law and a "mismatch " between new substance and the old procedure of the Federal Rules. Much of the current business of federal courts involves constitutional litigation under 42 U.S. C. §S 1983 and Bivens, …

Due Process Erosion: The Diminution Of Live Testimony At The Icty, Megan A. Fairlie
Due Process Erosion: The Diminution Of Live Testimony At The Icty, Megan A. Fairlie
Faculty Publications
Shortly after its creation in 1993, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) adopted an adversarial construct and advocated a preference for the presentation of direct evidence, or live witness testimony, in its criminal trials. In the wake of that decision and under considerable pressure to expedite its proceedings, the ICTY judges responded with efforts to streamline the trial process, amending the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure and Evidence so as to incrementally increase the admissibility of written evidence. This article tracks the relevant rule changes and questions the merit of the decision to move away from live testimony. …
