The Categorical Distinction Between Adolescents And Adults: The Supreme Court's Juvenile Punishment Cases—Constitutional Implications For Regulating Teenage Sexual Activity, Martin R. Gardner
Brigham Young University Journal of Public Law
I undertake in this article the task of exploring the impact of the punishment cases in resolving one particular controversial family law issue involving the possible existence of a juvenile’s constitutional right to engage in sexual conduct prohibited by the state and against the wishes of that juvenile’s parents. While the Supreme Court has seldom decided cases involving direct claims by children of constitutional rights disfavored by their parents, assertions by minors of constitutionally protected sexual liberty have become more prevalent of late in light of the Supreme Court’s recognition in Lawrence v. Texas of a constitutionally protected right, at …

Who Decides And What Difference Does It Make?: Defining Marriage In "Our Democratic, Federal Republic", Kevin J. Worthen
Brigham Young University Journal of Public Law

Instead, it seeks to draw attention to the perhaps equally important-but often overlooked-issue of the proper form and forum for resolving the substantive issue. It asks the question, if we awoke tomorrow to the newspaper headline -- "Legality of Same-Sex Marriage Decided" -- what difference would it make if the succeeding story referred to 1) a federal statute, 2) a U. S. Supreme Court decision, 3) a federal constitutional amendment, 4) a state statute, 5) a state supreme …
