The New Habeas, Kathleen Patchel Jan 1991

The New Habeas, Kathleen Patchel

UC Law Journal

During its 1990 Term, the United States Supreme Court developed a new retroactivity doctrine that, in effect, destroys independent federal habeas review of state prisoners' constitutional claims in situations other than those involving lack of jurisdiction or failure of process in state court. This new retroactivity doctrine marks the culmination of the Court's trend toward denying federal habeas review of state prisoners' claims in favor of finality of state court determinations. In this Article, Professor Patchel explores the process by which the Burger and Rehnquist Courts developed doctrines restricting the scope of habeas review in the face of Warren Court …


Michigan Department Of State Police V. Sitz: A Roadblock To Meaningful Judicial Enforcement Of Constitutional Rights, Nadine Strossen Jan 1991

Michigan Department Of State Police V. Sitz: A Roadblock To Meaningful Judicial Enforcement Of Constitutional Rights, Nadine Strossen

UC Law Journal

In Michigan Department of State Police v. Sitz, the Supreme Court rejected a fourth amendment challenge to mass, suspicionless searches and seizures at drunk driving roadblocks. In this Article, Professor Strossen analyzes the longrange constitutional impact of Sitz. She argues that the decision epitomizes the Court's recent tendency to eliminate the traditional fourth amendment requirement that any search or seizure of an individual must be based upon a particularized suspicion that the individual has committed, or is about to commit, a crime. The Article then shows how Sitz embodies two more general, interrelated trends in the Rehnquist Court's construction of …

Alternatives To Copyright Law Protection Of Graphic Characters: The Lanham Act And Antidilution Statutes, Robert E. Anderson Jan 1990

Alternatives To Copyright Law Protection Of Graphic Characters: The Lanham Act And Antidilution Statutes, Robert E. Anderson

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

In an "information age" dominated by mass media entertainment, graphic characters have become increasingly valuable commodities. Federal trademark law and state antidilution statutes provide alternatives to copyright law protection of such hot properties as the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." This Essay explores how courts determine the existence of secondary meaning in characters, as well as which aspects of a character, such as a costume or nickname, may receive protection. The Essay concludes with an examination of new trends introduced by the entertainment industry and the law of unfair competition.


From Satirical To Satyrical: When Is A Joke Actionable, Sandra Davidson Scott Jan 1990

From Satirical To Satyrical: When Is A Joke Actionable, Sandra Davidson Scott

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

This Article explores the often sexy landscape of satire and parody, asking the question, Has the law gone too far in denying plaintiffs recovery for satire that cannot be taken as literally true? The case of Pring v. Penthouse International provides the touchstone. The author addresses topics including Jerry Falwell's unsuccessful suit against Hustler magazine, the public figure/private person distinction, commercial appropriation of name and likeness, and the opinion/fact distinction. The Article concludes that courts show more sensitivity to commercial than personal injury and fail to appreciate that satire can damage reputations by raising suspicions that statements are based on …

Scarcity Of The Airwaves: Allocating And Assigning The Spectrum For High Definition Television (Hdtv), Janine S. Natter

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

High Definition Television (HDTV) promises a dramatic technological advancement in the quality of video and audio television. This Note asserts that local broadcast television networks must be allocated additional space on the electromagnetic spectrum to transmit the improved signals required for a competitive HDTV system in the United States. Unless additional spectrum frequencies are allocated for broadcast television, the spectrum presently allocated may be insufficient to satisfy all applicants. Therefore, a scheme must be developed to determine which applicants will be granted the right to use any additional frequencies. The author discusses various methods of assigning the spectrum and proposes …
