Trafficking In Narratives: Conceptualizing And Recasting Victims, Offenders, And Rescuers In The War On Human Trafficking, Sabrina Balmgamwalla

Law Faculty Research Publications

Anti-trafficking laws emerge from a complex historical context, shaped in no small part by public perception of this highly complex problem. This Article explores and questions the headlines and examples that drove anti-trafficking reforms over the past century. These "trafficking narratives" have stimulated and shaped the response to trafficking both globally and domestically and have powerful implications for the evolving framework of protection and punishment. Specifically, this Article argues that the roles of "victims," "offenders," and "rescuers" serve as proxies for racialized and gendered assumptions about trafficking, which in turn are reflected in anti-trafficking law and enforcement. This Article builds …

Interstate Water Compacts And Climate Change Adaptation, Noah D. Hall Jan 2010

Interstate Water Compacts And Climate Change Adaptation, Noah D. Hall

Law Faculty Research Publications

Over 95% of the available surface freshwater resources in the United States are interstate in nature and governed by interstate water compacts. These interstate compacts vary tremendously in how they allocate and manage interstate waters. Until recently, the water resources governed by interstate compacts have been relatively stable and unaffected by drastic changes in long-term weather patterns. However, within the next few decades North America is expected to experience increased regional variability in precipitation and susceptibility to drought. This article first looks at these expected changes on a macro and regional level to evaluate the increased stress on water resources …

Taking Responsibility, Robert M. Ackerman Jan 2008

Taking Responsibility, Robert M. Ackerman

Law Faculty Research Publications

Communitarians have suggested that a balance must be struck between individual rights and the public welfare, and that our self-seeking tendencies must sometimes be set aside in pursuit of the common good. Government is often (although not always) the mechanism through which common interests are advanced. An abdication of government responsibility may result in disaster, as was the case with respect to Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. At the other extreme, the accumulation of too much power in government can also bring about catastrophic consequences, as in the case of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster in the Soviet Union. …

Is Hindsight 20-20? Reconsidering The Importance Of Pre-Constitutional Documents, Kirsten Matoy Carlson Jan 2005

Is Hindsight 20-20? Reconsidering The Importance Of Pre-Constitutional Documents, Kirsten Matoy Carlson

Law Faculty Research Publications

Many constitutional orders, including the United States, have yet to determine the legal and political status of pre-constitutional documents written prior to the enactment of a final constitution. This article argues that pre constitutional documents should be critically analyzed by their respective constitutional communities. It maintains that pre-constitutional documents play a key role in constitutional orders by identifying conflicts that remain over time and contends that critical analysis of these documents facilitates deeper understandings of constitutional politics. It demonstrates how pre constitutional documents can be used as diagnostic tools for identifying and better understanding persistent constitutional tensions through a case …
