Digital Forensic Evidence In The Courtroom: Understanding Content And Quality, Daniel B. Garrie, J. David Morrissy Apr 2014

Digital Forensic Evidence In The Courtroom: Understanding Content And Quality, Daniel B. Garrie, J. David Morrissy

Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property

With the widespread permeation of continually advancing technologies into our daily lives, it is inevitable that the product of those technologies, i.e. digital information, makes its way into the courtroom. This has largely occurred in the form of electronic discovery, or “e-discovery,” where each party involved in an action provides the relevant information they possess electronically. However, in cases where information is hidden, erased, or otherwise altered, digital forensic analysis is necessary to draw further conclusions about the available evidence. Digital forensic analysis is analogous to more traditional forensic analysis. For example, in criminal cases where a firearm was used …

I Got 99 Problems And They’Re All Fatca, Nirav (Jonathan) Dhanawade Jan 2014

I Got 99 Problems And They’Re All Fatca, Nirav (Jonathan) Dhanawade

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Offshore personal income tax evasion accounts for approximately $50 billion in annual lost revenue for the United States. These large sums of money are squirrelled away in tax havens—jurisdictions, such as Aruba, the Cayman Islands, and Dubai, whose laws allow some U.S. citizens to evade paying their U.S. income taxes. Before the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) was enacted, U.S. citizens could avoid taxes on passive income by not reporting this income to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). To detect tax evasion, the IRS pursued U.S. citizens with undeclared assets in foreign banks. But the IRS’s quest was largely …

Off With His Head: The King Can Do No Wrong, Hurricane Katrina, And The Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, Christopher R. Dyess

Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy

Congress passed the Federal Tort Claims Act in 1946 to provide a legal remedy to citizens for torts committed by the Federal Government. Prior to the act, United States citizens were mostly prohibited from filing suits against the government for torts committed by government employees. However, Congress when passing the act realized that some government actions are the result of considered policy judgment for what is in the best interest of the citizenry as a whole. In order to prevent the government from being sued for such actions, Congress included what is referred to as the Discretionary Function Exception. If …

You Can’T Get There From Here: Implications Of The Walmart V. Dukes Decision For Addressing Second-Generation Discrimination, Roger W. Reinsch, Sonia Goltz Jan 2014

You Can’T Get There From Here: Implications Of The Walmart V. Dukes Decision For Addressing Second-Generation Discrimination, Roger W. Reinsch, Sonia Goltz

Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy

In Wal-Mart v. Dukes, the Supreme Court determined the plaintiffs had not shown, based on the evidence, that there were questions of law or fact common to the class. The allegedly discriminatory decisions had been made by individual supervisors at different stores who had been given discretion by Wal-Mart to make pay and promotion decisions. The Court stated the problem was that there was no specific evidence that all the discretionary decisions were made in a manner that reflected gender bias. This case not only reversed decades of court acceptance of social framework evidence in employment litigation but also …


Facebook Phobia! The Misguided Proliferation Of Restrictive Social Networking Policies For School Employees, Janet R. Decker Jan 2014

Facebook Phobia! The Misguided Proliferation Of Restrictive Social Networking Policies For School Employees, Janet R. Decker

Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy

Employers have dismissed and disciplined teachers and other school employees for posting controversial material and engaging in inappropriate employee-student relationships over social networking. In response, schools have enacted policies that greatly restrict educators’ social networking. This Article examines whether restrictive social networking policies are necessary. After analyzing the relevant state legislation, statewide guidance, district policies, and case law, this Article argues that restrictive policies are unwarranted and misguided. School districts have prevailed in the vast majority of the cases because they already have the legal authority to discipline employees under existing law. This Article also recommends how policymakers and school …
