Do As I Say And Not As I Do: Dickerson, Constitutional Common Law And The Imperial Supreme Court, Kevin Mcnamee
Do As I Say And Not As I Do: Dickerson, Constitutional Common Law And The Imperial Supreme Court, Kevin Mcnamee
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Comment examines the Supreme Court's Miranda jurisprudence through the lens of the "constitutional common law" theory, which suggests that the Supreme Court has crafted a large body of subconstitutional rules that are not compelled by the text of the Constitution but serve to protect values implicit in the text. As a result, such rules are subject to the limitations of modification and nullification by later courts. After presenting the characteristics of the constitutional common law theory and its relationship to federalism and separation of powers, the author suggests that the theory can explain the erosion of Miranda decision's brightline …

Freedom Of Expression In New York State: What Remains Of People Ex Rel. Arcara V. Cloud Books, Inc.?, Jeremy J. Bethel
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Note explores the decline of People ex rel. Arcara in New York State jurisprudence over the last decade. It first describes traditional and contemporary methods of testing free expression infringements, including a discussion of federal minimum standards, and protection expansions implemented by the New York Court of Appeals. Next, it describes the effect of federal "secondary effects" jurisprudence upon the People ex rel.

Finally, it examines the illogical consequences of the court of appeals' method of deciding …

Do The Clothes Make The Man? Implications Of A Witness' Status In The Determination Of Probable Cause, Jessica Ward
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Note examines police determination of probable cause based on witness credibility. It first sets out the probable cause standard and details the relevant probable cause case law and the policy considerations behind the Fourth Amendment. Next, it examines different types of witnesses the police encounter and analyzes whether the status of the witness implies more or less credibility. Finally, it evaluates the factors that officers apply in their determination of witness credibility. This Note concludes that the status of the witness should not be determinative, but rather should be just one of the factors the police take into account …
Examining The Lautenberg Amendment In The Civilian And Military Contexts: Congressional Overreaching, Statutory Vagueness, Ex Post Facto Violations, And Implementation Flaws, Jessica A. Golden
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The Lautenberg Amendment to the Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed in 1996 with the purpose of preventing gun-related domestic violence. The Lautenberg Amendment's passage raises unique commerce clause issues, and the amendment is possibly unconstitutional. Part I of the article examines the Commerce Clause (and Tenth Amendment) challenges to the Lautenberg Amendment. It provides the history of cases thus far failing to successfully challenge the constitutionality of the Lautenberg Amendment. It then discusses the Supreme Court's decision in Morrison v. Olson, that struck down the civil remedies provision of the Violence Against Women Act as a violation of …
