Hell Hath No Fury Like A Fan Scorned: State Regulation Of Sports Agents, Phillip J. Closius
All Faculty Scholarship
This article first describes the existing system of state statutes regulating sports agents, including the proposed Model Uniform Athlete Agents Act.

Criminal Trial Juries In Australia: From Penal Colonies To A Federal Democracy, Michael Chesterman
Criminal Trial Juries In Australia: From Penal Colonies To A Federal Democracy, Michael Chesterman
Law and Contemporary Problems
The recent history of juries in Australia reveals an interesting clash between the endeavours of state and territory governments to reduce the costs associated with jury trial by various means and the determination of the High Court of Australia to reassert the traditional values and features of jury trial.

Message To Criminal Defendants--Waive At Your Own Risk: The Eight Circuit Enforces Waivers Of Appellate Rights, The, Ginger K. Gooch
Missouri Law Review
"The right to appeal at least once without obtaining prior court approval is nearly universal. [A]lthough its origins are neither constitutional nor ancient, the right has become, in a word, sacrosanct., 2 Likewise, the criminal defendant's right to utilize appellate rights as a bargaining chip meets with widespread acceptance; nearly every circuit allows criminal defendants to waive their rights to appeal in conjunction with plea bargain agreements.3 The circuits disagree, however, concerning whether a defendant's waiver of appellate rights remains valid if a district court judge fails to explicitly discuss the waiver with the defendant during a Rule 11 colloquy4 …

Humpty Dumpty On Mens Rea Standards: A Proposed Methodology For Interpretation, Katherine R. Tromble
Humpty Dumpty On Mens Rea Standards: A Proposed Methodology For Interpretation, Katherine R. Tromble
Vanderbilt Law Review
"When I use a word.., it means just what I choose it to mean-neither more nor less.", This statement by Humpty Dumpty sets forth the argument of this Note: words used to describe mens rea in federal criminal statutes have plain, ordinary meanings. When the United States Supreme Court interprets these statutes, it should do so according to the words' plain meanings. Because the Court has not used this approach in past cases, the law of mens rea on the federal level is confusing and inconsistent.
The Court has tried to repair poorly drafted statutes by interpreting them in various …
Justice Blackmun's Mark On Criminal Law And Procedure, Kit Kinports
Justice Blackmun's Mark On Criminal Law And Procedure, Kit Kinports
Journal Articles
When Justice Blackmun was nominated to the Court in 1970, Americans were consumed with the idea of crime control. In the 1968 presidential campaign, Richard Nixon had called the Supreme Court "soft on crime" and had promised to "put 'law and order' judges on the Court." While sitting on the Eighth Circuit, the Justice had "seldom struck down searches, seizures, arrests or confessions," and most of his opinions in criminal cases had "affirmed guilty verdicts and sentences." Thus, according to one commentator, Justice Blackmun seemed to be "exactly what Nixon was looking for: a judge who believed in judicial restraint, …

Missouri's Law On Admissibility Of Other Crimes Evidence: Increasing Inclusivity, Justin M. Dean
Missouri's Law On Admissibility Of Other Crimes Evidence: Increasing Inclusivity, Justin M. Dean
Missouri Law Review
Evidence of other crimes, or uncharged misconduct evidence as it is commonly called, has been important in many criminal trials, including such well-publicized trials as that of O.J. Simpson for murder and those of William Kennedy Smith and Mike Tyson for rape.2 Furthermore, this type of evidence is important because studies have shown that admission of uncharged misconduct evidence greatly increases the likelihood that a jury will find the defendant guilty.3 State v. Skillicorn4 presents a look at the current state of the law concerning admission of other crimes evidence in Missouri. The case illustrates the difficulty in applying current …
Missouri Law Regarding Punitive Damages And The Doctrine Of Remittitur, Edward S. Stevens
Missouri Law Regarding Punitive Damages And The Doctrine Of Remittitur, Edward S. Stevens
Missouri Law Review
The imposition of punitive damages can devastate defendants, be they individuals or large corporations. Fortunately for these defendants, the jury does not have the final word on the amount of damages. This Note addresses the circumstances under which punitive damages are available in Missouri and when the doctrine of remittitur will be used so that damage awards comport with Missouri's prohibition against excessive awards and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Temporal Units Of Prosecution And Continuous Acts: Judicial And Constitutional Limitations
San Diego Law Review
Part II will examine the
historical development and the Supreme Court's application of the so- called rule of lenity when adjudicating cases involving statutes with
unclear units of prosecution Part II will also examine the manner in which unclear draftsmanship has been treated in other areas of law and
will compare those areas of law with the rationale behind the rule of lenity. Finally, Part II will conclude by arguing that the rule of lenity creates a presumption opposing multiple prosecutions for the continuing violation of a statute, unless there is clear legislative intent to the contrary. Part M11 will …
Williamson V. Gregoire: How Much Is Enough? The Custody Requirement In The Context Of Sex Offender Registration And Notification Statutes, Tina D. Santos
Williamson V. Gregoire: How Much Is Enough? The Custody Requirement In The Context Of Sex Offender Registration And Notification Statutes, Tina D. Santos
Seattle University Law Review
This Note argues that the Ninth Circuit was wrong. The registration and notification provisions operate to constructively restrain the liberty of a convicted sex offender and, therefore, Mr. Williamson is "in custody" for purposes of habeas corpus relief. To support this proposition, this Note will first discuss the federal statute pertaining to habeas corpus and review the case law interpreting the jurisdictional requirement that the petitioner be "in custody"; second, review and discuss Washington State's sex offender registration and notification statutes; and finally, analyze the relevant statute and analogous case law in the context of Washington's sex offender laws in …

Dead Man Talking: Competing Narratives And Effective Representation In Capital Cases Essay., Jeffrey J. Pokorak
Dead Man Talking: Competing Narratives And Effective Representation In Capital Cases Essay., Jeffrey J. Pokorak
St. Mary's Law Journal
As Karl Hammond’s case indicates, to serve justice, balance between the Kill Story and Human Story is necessary in a capital trial. This Essay seeks, through deconstruction of Karl Hammond’s case, to identify and illustrate the values of telling these combating stories. Part III describes the Kill Story and the Human Story in Karl’s case from the record of his trial, appeals, and petitions. Part III also demonstrates how the failure to tell one side of the story in either the guilt-innocence phase or the punishment phase can have a prejudicial effect on the jury’s decision. Part IV then discusses …
