Taking It To The Bank: Creating A New Constitutional Standard And Using Blue Carbon Banking To Compensate The Miccosukee Tribe For The Federal "Taking" Of Their Tribal Lands, Amy Judkins
Florida A & M University Law Review
The typical remedy for a property owner whose property interests have been diminished from government regulations—as is the case with the federal government's regulation of the Miccosukee's tribal lands—would be compensation sought under the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The last clause of the Fifth Amendment— the Takings Clause—provides that "private property [shall not] be taken for public use, without just compensation." The Supreme Court has explained that the purpose of the Takings Clause is to prevent the government from "forcing some people alone to bear public burdens which, in all fairness and justice, should be borne by …
Whistle While You Work: Interpreting Retaliation Remedies Available To Whistleblowers In The Dodd-Frank Act, Max Birmingham
Whistle While You Work: Interpreting Retaliation Remedies Available To Whistleblowers In The Dodd-Frank Act, Max Birmingham
Florida A & M University Law Review
This Article asserts that judicial activism occurs when a court goes beyond the plain meaning of the text that is plain and unambiguous, to promulgate its politics. This Article does not make the argument nor infer that this is the sole definition of judicial activism. Rather, this Article is narrowing the scope by enumerating a specific act that falls within the category of judicial activism.
This argument proceeds as follows. Part I provides context of judicial activism. Part II analyzes how various courts have interpreted the statute, and whether the interpretation is consistent with canons of construction. Part III assesses …

Copyright To The Rescue: Should Copyright Protect Privacy?, Deidre Keller
Journal Publications
While some courts have held that “[i]t is universally recognized . . . that the protection of privacy is not the function of our copyright law,” the remedies afforded copyright owners make pursuing copyright claims an attractive option to privacy plaintiffs. Copyright remedies include the removal of digital copies from the internet and the destruction of physical copies. The extent to which copyright ought to protect privacy interests has been considered in various jurisdictions recently but has not been treated comprehensively by contemporary legal scholars in the United States. This piece seeks to undertake that treatment.
Part II of this …

The Right To Bear Arms... And Lesson Plans, Ryan Saboff
Florida A & M University Law Review
This Article will argue that due to the unique characteristics of mass school shootings, including their swiftness, unpredictability, and at times advanced planning and preparation, that American society can no longer simply rely on law enforcement to effectively stop or even prevent future acts of mass violence from occurring on our schools. Rather, legally licensed and armed teachers and school personnel are actually the most effective deterrent to mass school shootings. The primary focus of this Article will be schools kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12), as they comprise of the majority of mass shootings in the United States and typically …
Gun Rights And The New Lochnerism, Areto A. Imoukuede
Gun Rights And The New Lochnerism, Areto A. Imoukuede
Journal Publications
This Article examines the Supreme Court's recent Second Amendment cases as applications of the same libertarian bias that has undermined constitutional law's fundamental rights doctrine. The concept of a libertarian bias that is based in a New Lochnerism was previously introduced in both The Fifth Freedom and The New Due Process. The analysis here demonstrates that the recently revised doctrine regarding the Second Amendment and gun rights is driven by the current Supreme Court ("Court") hostility towards government regulation in a manner that is akin to what was seen during the Lochner Era. Regrettably, this Article is timely and is …
