Declaring Open Season: The Outbreak Of Violence Against Undocumented Immigrants By Vigilante Ranchers In South Texas., Sara A. Martinez
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
Each year, over one million undocumented immigrants make their way across the U.S.-Mexican border in search of a better life. They are fleeing desperate situations like war, oppression, corruption, and starvation. Not only do undocumented immigrants making their way across the border have to fear dehydration and starvation, but they must also worry about death at the hands of Texas landowners. Texas ranchers often react with extreme measures in protecting their property. Ranch Rescue is an organization made up of volunteers who believe they should take measures into their own hands whenever there is a failure or refusal to act …

Getting The Mentally Ill Misdemeanant Out Of Jail., James R. Walker
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
This Comment advocates for the release of jailed persons arrested for nonviolent crimes due to the symptomology associated with their mental illnesses. Mentally ill misdemeanants suffer from severe and persistent mental disorders, usually either a psychotic or mood disorder, without symptoms or a diagnosis of a personality disorder. Due to the increase in arrests of individuals with mental illnesses, jail and prison populations are drastically increasing. These institutions have turned into modern mental hospitals or asylums. Criminalization of the mentally ill occurs because increasing numbers of mentally ill persons who commit minor crimes are subject to more frequent arrests. The …

States should not deny Native Americans the right to establish Class III gaming—casino games and slot machines—establishments. In 1988, Congress passed the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) which provided Indian tribes the exclusive right to control all forms of gambling on Indian land. IGRA, however, requires the Indian tribes and the state to negotiate the terms of a Class III gaming arrangement. If the state refuses, the matter goes to the Secretary of the Interior. The Secretary of the Interior, however, lacks the authority to require a state to allow the tribe to establish Class III gaming institutions. Therefore, without …
Capping Your Rights: The Texas Statute Of Non-Economic Damage Caps In Medical Malpractice Cases And Its Assault On The Rights Of The Injured And The Power Of The Courts., Ruben James Reyes
Capping Your Rights: The Texas Statute Of Non-Economic Damage Caps In Medical Malpractice Cases And Its Assault On The Rights Of The Injured And The Power Of The Courts., Ruben James Reyes
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
Though the Texas Legislature attempted to assure Texans’ access to quality, affordable health care, they assaulted patients’ rights and the power of the courts with a cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice lawsuits. Non-economic damage caps have a major effect in medical malpractice cases on an injured victim’s constitutional rights and their rights to bring a cause of action against a negligent party. Injured medical malpractice victims may argue that non-economic damage caps directly violate equal protection because of the creation of an impermissible classification distinguishing between injured victims with calculable economic damages and injured victims with no economic …
