Out Of Reach: The Mdlea’S Impermissible Extraterritorial Reach On Maritime Drug–Traffickers, Andres Chinchilla
Out Of Reach: The Mdlea’S Impermissible Extraterritorial Reach On Maritime Drug–Traffickers, Andres Chinchilla
University of Miami Inter-American Law Review
46 U.S.C. § 70503, known as the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act (MDLEA), prohibits individuals on board covered vessels from manufacturing, distributing, or possessing with an intent to distribute or manufacture, a controlled substance. The statute, as enacted, permits the prosecution of individuals arrested beyond U.S. jurisdiction and even within the territorial seas of other States. This provision is argued to be an impermissible extraterritorial reach absent a nexus requirement—showing a connection between the drug smuggling activity and the U.S. Recently, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals held the statute’s extraterritorial reach and lack of nexus requirement as unconstitutional under …

Of the many cases of land emerging in Indonesia often collide with many aspects of application, namely the clash between national law/positive law and the original law/customary law on the local community, or clash with multiple ownership of a land object. To examine this issue, it is of course worth a further review of why this can happen, and need to reflect on whether what makes this phenomenon appear to be so difficult to find a definite solution. Then it can not be denied again the rise of land brokering practices that make Indonesia increasingly becoming a very difficult country …
Police Or Pirates? Reforming Washington's Civil Asset Forfeiture System, Jasmin Chigbrow
Police Or Pirates? Reforming Washington's Civil Asset Forfeiture System, Jasmin Chigbrow
Washington Law Review
Civil asset forfeiture laws permit police officers to seize property they suspect is connected to criminal activity and sell or retain the property for the police department’s use. In many states, including Washington, civil forfeiture occurs independent of any criminal case—many property owners are never charged with the offense police allege occurred. Because the government is not required to file criminal charges, property owners facing civil forfeiture lack the constitutional safeguards normally guaranteed to defendants in the criminal justice system: the right to an attorney, the presumption of innocence, the government’s burden to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, …

In accordance with the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia in article 33 (3) that in essence Natural Resources are very abundant in Indonesia which is controlled by the State to be utilized for the welfare of the life of its citizens. In the sense that the State has a very important role in the management of Natural Resources. Oil and gas are the two most abundant sources of state assets if managed. Therefore, it is unfortunate when important economic sectors that control the livelihoods of many people such as oil and gas are actually controlled by foreigners who are more oriented …
Cruel And Unusual: Closing The Door On Juvenile De Facto Life Sentences, Thomas Garrity
Cruel And Unusual: Closing The Door On Juvenile De Facto Life Sentences, Thomas Garrity
Catholic University Law Review
There currently exists a split amongst the Federal Circuit Courts that stands ripe for review. The Supreme Court laid down clear precedent in its landmark decisions of Roper v. Simmons, Graham v. Florida, and Miller v. Alabama that capital punishment and life without parole are cruel and unusual as applied to juvenile non-homicidal offenders categorically and as applied to juvenile homicidal offenders without consideration of youth as a mitigating factor. There, however, was a door left open by these cases that allowed for judges to side-step the Court’s mandate. Using excessively long term-of-years sentences—longer than the most hopeful of estimates …
When Is Police Interrogation Really Police Interrogation? A Look At The Application Of The Miranda Mandate, Paul Marcus
When Is Police Interrogation Really Police Interrogation? A Look At The Application Of The Miranda Mandate, Paul Marcus
Catholic University Law Review
Decades after the Supreme Court’s decision in Miranda v. Arizona, questions abound as to what constitutes interrogation when a suspect is in custody. What appeared a concise, uniform rule has, in practice, left the Fifth Amendment waters muddied. This article addresses a potential disconnect between law enforcement and the courts by analyzing examples of issues arising from Miranda’s application in an array of case law. Ultimately, it attempts to clarify an ambiguity by offering a standard for what conduct classifies as an interrogation.

Rethinking The Reasonable Response: Safeguarding The Promise Of Kingsley For Conditions Of Confinement, Hanna Rutkowski
Michigan Law Review
Nearly five million individuals are admitted to America’s jails each year, and at any given time, two-thirds of those held in jail have not been convicted of a crime. Under current Supreme Court doctrine, these pretrial detainees are functionally protected by the same standard as convicted prisoners, despite the fact that they are formally protected by different constitutional amendments. A 2015 decision, Kingsley v. Hendrickson, declared that a different standard would apply to pretrial detainees and convicted prisoners in the context of use of force: consistent with the Constitution’s mandate that they not be punished at all, pretrial detainees …

Revenge Of The Sixth: The Constitutional Reckoning Of Pandemic Justice, Brandon Marc Draper
Revenge Of The Sixth: The Constitutional Reckoning Of Pandemic Justice, Brandon Marc Draper
Marquette Law Review
The Sixth Amendment’s criminal jury right is integral to the United States
criminal justice system. While this right is also implicated by the Due Process
Clause, Equal Protection Clause, and several federal and state statutes,
criminal jury trial rates have been declining for decades, down from
approximately 20% to 2% between 1988 to 2018. This dramatic drop in the
rate of criminal jury trials is an effective measure of the decreased access to
fair and constitutional criminal jury trials.
