When Does Sleaze Become A Crime? Redefining Honest Services Fraud After Skilling V. United States, Teresa M. Becvar
When Does Sleaze Become A Crime? Redefining Honest Services Fraud After Skilling V. United States, Teresa M. Becvar
Chicago-Kent Law Review
Honest services fraud, which is defined as a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of “honest services,” is just one tool in the federal government’s extensive arsenal used to prosecute public corruption and private corporate fraud. The Supreme Court curtailed the expansion of this versatile theory twice in the past three decades, most recently in June 2010 in Skilling v. United States. In Skilling, the Court held, inter alia, that the federal honest services statute covers only bribery and kickback schemes and not undisclosed self-dealing. Months later, members of Congress proposed the Honest Services …
The International Criminal Court's Unjustified Jurisdiction Claims: Libya As A Case Study, Jennifer Nimry Eseed
The International Criminal Court's Unjustified Jurisdiction Claims: Libya As A Case Study, Jennifer Nimry Eseed
Chicago-Kent Law Review
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is a treaty-based court that functions to end impunity for perpetrators of the gravest crimes that concern the international community. As of July 1, 2012, 121 have countries ratified the Rome Statute, the treaty governing the ICC, expressing their acceptance of the Court’s jurisdiction. The ICC is fully independent from the United Nations, yet the Rome Statute problematically allows for the United Nation’s Security Council to refer an issue to the ICC, whether or not the issue relates to a country that has ratified the treaty. This Note uses the 2011 conflict in Libya to …

Women And Poisons In 17th Century France, Benedetta Faedi Duramy
Chicago-Kent Law Review
This article examines the involvement of the Marquise de Brinvilliers, Catherine La Voisin, and the Marquise de Montespan, in the scandal "Affair of the Poisons," during the seventeenth century in France. Through such investigation, this article interrogates the discourse surrounding gender and crime in history, deepening the understanding of women's motivation to commit murder and the strategies they adopted. Moreover, the article examines how the legal system addressed women's crime, differentiated responses based on their class and social rank, and held women accountable for poisoning the country, thus failing to acknowledge the actual shortcomings of the French monarchy, the decline …
Human Trafficking For Sexual Exploitation At World Sporting Events, Victoria Hayes
Human Trafficking For Sexual Exploitation At World Sporting Events, Victoria Hayes
Chicago-Kent Law Review
Many members of the international community fear that world sporting events, such as the Olympics and the World Cup, create surges in human trafficking for sexual exploitation, causing women and girls to be exploited for commercial sex while the rest of the world celebrates athleticism and sport. These fears have sparked heated debate about the measures hosting countries should take to prevent human trafficking at these events and the role prostitution policies play in combating human trafficking. In the lead-up to the 2010 Olympics in Canada and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, politicians in both countries proposed legalizing …
Optimal Hackback, Jay P. Kesan, Ruperto Majuca
Optimal Hackback, Jay P. Kesan, Ruperto Majuca
Chicago-Kent Law Review
Professor Jay Kesan from the University of Illinois College of Law, in joint work with Ruperto Majuca of the University of Illinois Department of Economics, argue in favor of legal rules that allow "hacking [data] back" in certain business circumstances. They analyze the strategic interaction between the hacker and the attacked company or individual and conclude that neither total prohibition nor unrestrained permission of hack-back is optimal. Instead, they argue that when other alternatives such as criminal enforcement and litigation are ineffective, self-defense is the best response to cybercrime because there is a high likelihood of correctly attacking the criminal, …
