Prosecution And Race: The Power And Privilege Of Discretion, Angela J. Davis Jan 1998

Prosecution And Race: The Power And Privilege Of Discretion, Angela J. Davis

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

This article examines prosecutorial discretion and argues it is a major cause of racial inequality in the criminal justice system. It asserts that prosecutorial discretion may instead be used to construct effective solutions to racial injustice. The article maintains that since prosecutors have more power than any other criminal justice officials, with practically no corresponding accountability to the public they serve, they have the responsibility to use their discretion to help eradicate the discriminatory treatment of African Americans in the criminal justice system.

Part I of the Article explains the importance and impact of the prosecution function. Part II discusses …

Creating International Space For Taiwan: The Law And Politics Of Recognition, Paul Williams

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Is Taiwan an entity with an international legal personality entitling it to a certain degree of international space? Or is it an integral political unit of China? The task of this presentation is to analyze the potential legal and political reaction to an attempt by Taiwan to move its current status over the cusp and into the realm of independence, or an alternative attempt by China to back down Taiwan into a one China with the one system policy.

The Legal Architecture Of Virtual Stores, Walter Effross Jan 1998

The Legal Architecture Of Virtual Stores, Walter Effross

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

INTRODUCTION: A major "selling point" of the World Wide Web is its ability to offer a "virtual storefront" to anyone, from an individual to a multinational corporation, with a product to market. Commercially available software packages enable even those computer users who are not versed in the intricacies of programming to create customized Web sites quickly, and at a relatively low cost. The swift development of this technology and a cultural shift towards encouraging on-line commerce have led to dramatic growth in the demographics and dollar amounts of the on-line marketplace, which in turn offers a challenging new context for …

Exploring The Concept Of Post-Tenure Review In Law Schools, Ira Robbins Jan 1998

Exploring The Concept Of Post-Tenure Review In Law Schools, Ira Robbins

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Introduction: Faculty in American law schools and universities often view the award of tenure as an inviolate guarantee of job security.' From this perspective, any attempt to monitor the level and quality of a tenured professor's work infringes on academic freedom. Recently, however, academics have argued that shielding the performance of tenured faculty from serious review potentially may be a disservice to the academic institution. Critics complain that schools sacrifice professional accountability when deficient performance goes undetected and uncorrected.


A One Term Tort Reform Tale: Victimizing The Vulnerable, Andrew F. Popper Jan 1998

A One Term Tort Reform Tale: Victimizing The Vulnerable, Andrew F. Popper

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

During its spring 1997 term, Congress passed the Volunteer Protection Act and considered but did not pass the Biomaterials Access Assurance Act of 1997. The Volunteer Protection Act provides a wide range of tort immunities to volunteers working for charitable organizations. The Biomaterials Access Assurance Act would have provided tort immunity to biomaterials producers. In this Article, the author examines the origins and possible implications of both these tort reform proposals from a class-based perspective and within the broader context of the ongoing tort reform debate. The author concludes that both of these proposals ultimately would harm individuals in vulnerable …
