A Fourth Amendment Of People And Places: Three Foundational Claims About Geofencing, Jordan Wallace-Wolf

Marquette Law Review

In Carpenter v. United States, the Supreme Court held that sufficiently lengthy surveillance of a person’s location was a search that presumptively required a warrant. This holding, the Court wrote, was an application of Katz v. United States’s battle cry that the Fourth Amendment “protects people, not places.”

Unfortunately, that battle cry is increasingly part of the problem. It was suited to Carpenter because it concerned the surveillance of Timothy Carpenter’s movement over 127 days. But police are increasingly supplementing long-term tracking of particular suspects with comparatively short-term tracking of whoever happens to occupy a particular swath of space during …

Selective Egalitarianism In Elite University Admissions: A Look At Sffa V. Harvard, Stuart Chinn

Marquette Law Review

In striking down race-based affirmative action in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President & Fellows of Harvard College (SFFA), Chief Justice Roberts’s opinion for the Court was surely one of the most significant of his tenure. In this article, I offer a critical analysis of the various opinions in SFFA, and use them as a starting point for a more general assessment of admissions practices at selective higher educational institutions.

I begin with an initial assumption that equality and leveling illegitimate social hierarchies (such as hierarchies based on race, gender, class, sexual orientation, and gender identity) are worthwhile normative …

Encryption Backdoors And The Fourth Amendment, Robert M. White

Marquette Law Review

The National Security Agency (NSA) reportedly paid and pressured technology companies to trick their customers into using vulnerable encryption products. This Article examines whether any of three theories removed the Fourth Amendment’s requirement that this be reasonable. The first is that a challenge to the encryption backdoor might fail for want of a search or seizure. The Article rejects this both because the Amendment reaches some vulnerabilities apart from the searches and seizures they enable and because the creation of this vulnerability was itself a search or seizure. The second is that the role of the technology companies might have …

How Victim Impact Statements Promote Justice: Evidence From The Content Of Statements Delivered In Larry Nassar’S Sentencing, Paul G. Cassell, Edna Erez

Marquette Law Review

Whether crime victims should present victim impact statements (VISs) at sentencing remains a subject of controversy in criminal justice literature. But relatively little is known about the content of VISs and how victims use them. This Article provides a content analysis of the 168 VISs presented in a Michigan court sentencing of Larry Nassar, who pleaded guilty to decades of sexual abuse of young athletes while he was treating them for various sports injuries. Nassar committed similar crimes against each of his victims, allowing a robust research approach to answer questions about the content, motivations for, and benefits of submitting …

An Impossible Burden: A Comment Supporting Revision Of Wisconsin’S Parenthood As A Result Of Sexual Assault Statute, Gabriella Humblet

Marquette Law Review

The Wisconsin statute that regulates termination of parental rights (TPR) as a result of sexual assault is untenable and in need of revision. The current statute is far too stringent to be practically implemented, which is especially true in involuntary TPR proceedings.

This Comment seeks to explain why Wisconsin’s current statute for TPR as a result of sexual assault is flawed. First, this Comment gives background by detailing rape statistics in the United States to explain why the possibility for TPR exists when a conception results from a sexual assault. Second, Wisconsin adopts a position that is at odds with …

The Power Of All: Tort In The Age Of Constitution, Cristina Carmody Tilley

Marquette Law Review

Life in a multicultural nation can be fraught. The United States is a case in point, with hostile tension between members of competing identity groups playing out today on streets, in offices, and across the media. Modern Americans assume that bridging race, gender, and class inequity is the stuff of public—constitutional—law. This assumption follows the lead of modern American lawyers, who migrated to this body of law just as historians, sociologists, and economists began to insist that the private law of tort was exclusively concerned with the accidental physical harms inevitable in a modern economy. According to this econostory, tort …

Withdrawing Lanham Act Section 2(C) Consent: What Should Courts Do?, Zachary R. Semancik

Marquette Intellectual Property & Innovation Law Review

The dispute between Luka Dončić and his mother over his ability to withdraw consent to a trademark of his name revealed a gap in trademark law. This Comment explains the lack of legal guidance on how a court should rule if a person initially gives their consent to use their name as a trademark but later wishes to withdraw that consent. The Comment addresses two contrasting ideas. The first is the freedom to contract and the desire of courts to protect the voluntary consent of individuals to allow others to trademark their name. Alternatively, the Comment addresses the right of …
