The Legal Revolution Against The Place Of Religion: The Case Of Trinity Western University Law School, Barry W. Bussey
The Legal Revolution Against The Place Of Religion: The Case Of Trinity Western University Law School, Barry W. Bussey
BYU Law Review
The special legal status of religion and religious freedom in liberal democracies has become an issue of controversy among legal academics and lawyers. There is a growing argument that religion is not special and that the law should be amended to reflect that fact. This Article argues that religion is special. It is special because of the historical, practical, and philosophical realities of liberal democracies. Religious freedom is a foundational principle that was instrumental in creating the modern liberal democratic state. To remove religion from its current legal station would be a revolution that would put liberal democracy in a …

Adversary Breakdown And Judicial Role Confusion In “Small Case” Civil Justice, Jessica K. Steinberg
Adversary Breakdown And Judicial Role Confusion In “Small Case” Civil Justice, Jessica K. Steinberg
BYU Law Review
This Article calls attention to the breakdown of adversary procedure in a largely unexplored area of the civil justice system: the ordinary, twoparty case. The twenty-first century judge confronts an entirely new state of affairs in presiding over the average civil matter. In place of the adversarial party contest, engineered and staged by attorneys, judges now face the rise of an unrepresented majority unable to propel claims, facts, and evidence into the courtroom. The adversary ideal favors a passive judge, but the unrealistic demands of such a paradigm in today’s “small case” civil justice system have sparked role confusion among …

Quasi-Constitutional Protections And Government Surveillance, Emily Berman
Quasi-Constitutional Protections And Government Surveillance, Emily Berman
BYU Law Review
The post-Edward Snowden debate over government surveillance has been vigorous. One aspect of that debate has been widespread criticism of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), alleging that the FISC served as a rubber stamp for the government, consistently accepting implausible interpretations of existing law that served to expand government surveillance authority; engaging in tortured analyses of statutory language; and ignoring fundamental Fourth Amendment principles. This Article argues that these critiques have entirely overlooked critical aspects of the FISC’s jurisprudence. A close look at that jurisprudence reveals a court that did, in fact, vigorously defend the interests customarily protected by …

Disentangling Flight Risk From Dangerousness, Lauryn P. Gouldin
Disentangling Flight Risk From Dangerousness, Lauryn P. Gouldin
BYU Law Review
There is a growing national consensus about the urgent need to shrink the population of pretrial detainees and to fix our broken money bail system. Even as scholars and reformers are showing renewed interest in pretrial detention and bail, however, they have neglected a fundamental pretrial problem: the conflation (by judges and in statutes) of flight risk and danger. Reformers have offered up an array of proposals and increasingly sophisticated risk assessment tools that promise to improve judicial decision-making, but many of these tools merge flight risk and danger in ways that reinforce problematic legislative and judicial practices.

Regulating Identity: Medical Regulation As Social Control, Matt Lamkin
Regulating Identity: Medical Regulation As Social Control, Matt Lamkin
BYU Law Review
New biomedical technologies offer growing opportunities not only to prevent and treat illnesses, but also to change how healthy people think, feel, behave, and appear to others. Controversies over these nontherapeutic practices are a pervasive feature of contemporary American culture, from students on “study drugs” and cops on steroids to skin-lightening by black celebrities and the over-prescription of antidepressants. Yet the diversity of these controversies often masks their common root—namely, disputes about the propriety of using medical technologies as tools for shaping one’s identity.
Some observers believe these so-called “enhancement” practices threaten important values, offering unfair advantages to users and …
Guilt-Free Markets? Unconscionability, Conscience, And Emotions, Hila Keren
Guilt-Free Markets? Unconscionability, Conscience, And Emotions, Hila Keren
BYU Law Review
Despite record-level economic inequalities and a vast growth in market exploitation, courts remain surprisingly reluctant to exercise their power to invalidate the resulting predatory contracts. There is no doubt that courts are authorized to invalidate predatory contracts based on their unconscionability. There is, however, an ongoing debate regarding the desirability of utilizing this judicial power in a capitalist society. This Article enters the discussion from a unique angle: it focuses less on the bottom line of jurisprudence and more on the law’s expressive power—the fact that the law’s impact extends beyond its ability to sanction or reward behaviors. Specifically, the …
On Doctrinal Confusion: The Case Of The State Action Doctrine, Christopher W. Schmidt
On Doctrinal Confusion: The Case Of The State Action Doctrine, Christopher W. Schmidt
BYU Law Review
In this Article, I use a case study of the Fourteenth Amendment’s state action doctrine as a vehicle to consider, and partially defend, the phenomenon of persistent doctrinal confusion in constitutional law. Certain areas of constitutional law are messy. Precedents seem to contradict one another; the relevant tests are difficult to apply to new facts and new issues; the principles that underlie the doctrine are difficult to discern. They may become a “conceptual disaster area,” as Charles Black once described the state action doctrine. By examining the evolution of the state action doctrine, this notoriously murky field of constitutional law, …
Trusts No More: Rethinking The Regulation Of Retirement Savings In The United States, Natalya Shnitser
Trusts No More: Rethinking The Regulation Of Retirement Savings In The United States, Natalya Shnitser
BYU Law Review
The regulation of private and public pension plans in the United States begins with the premise that employer-sponsored plans resemble traditional donative, or gift, trusts. Accordingly, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) famously “imports” major principles of donative trust law for the regulation of private employer-sponsored pension plans. Statutes regulating state and local government pension plans likewise routinely invoke the structure and standards applicable to donative trusts. Judges, in turn, adjudicate by analogy to the common law trust.
This Article identifies the flaws in the analogy and analyzes the shortcomings of a regulatory framework that, despite dramatic …

Local Home Rule In The Time Of Globalization, Kenneth A. Stahl
Local Home Rule In The Time Of Globalization, Kenneth A. Stahl
BYU Law Review
Cities are increasingly taking the lead in tackling global issues like climate change, financial regulation, economic inequality, and others that the federal and state governments have failed to address. Recent media accounts have accordingly praised cities as the hope of our globally networked future. This optimistic appraisal of cities is, however, undermined by local governments’ cramped legal status. Under the doctrine of home rule, local governments can often only act in matters deemed “local” in nature and cannot regulate “statewide” issues that may have impacts beyond local borders. As a result, the global issues that local governments are being praised …
