The Constitution Glimpsed From Tule Lake, Patrick O. Gudridge

Law and Contemporary Problems

Although Ex Parte Endo undid the wrongs that resulted from the US Supreme Court decision Korematsu v. United States, the Japanese Americans who faced internment during WWII cannot so easily put the past behind them. Gudridge examines the publication The Spoilage, which documents the political efforts of those inside the internment camp at Tule Lake, and relates them to Endo and Korematsu.

Law and Contemporary Problems

Daniels examines the changing reactions of the government and the public to the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII and in the six decades following.

Watching The Watchers: Enemy Combatants In The Internment Shadow, Jerry Kang Apr 2005

Watching The Watchers: Enemy Combatants In The Internment Shadow, Jerry Kang

Law and Contemporary Problems

In the past, the government has avoided accountability for the atrocity of allowing the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII.

White (House) Lies: Why The Public Must Compel The Courts To Hold The President Accountable For National Security Abuses, Eric K. Yamamoto

Law and Contemporary Problems

The warning of a threat to national security has been used throughout US history as a means for the US government to execute repressive actions. Even today, the judiciary must take responsibility for defending citizens against such potential abuses by the executive branch.

Korematsu And Beyond: Japanese Americans And The Origins Of Strict Scrutiny, Greg Robinson, Toni Robinson Apr 2005

Korematsu And Beyond: Japanese Americans And The Origins Of Strict Scrutiny, Greg Robinson, Toni Robinson

Law and Contemporary Problems

The authors examine the role that the Japanese American Citizens League played in the development of the "strict scrutiny" doctrine partly responsible for the ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. The plight of Japanese Americans during their WWII internment gave them experience in implementing this doctrine, which they passed on to the NAACP.

A Commander’S Power, A Civilian’S Reason: Justice Jackson’S Korematsu Dissent, John Q. Barrett

Although the dissent has been criticized as incoherent, it contains strong legal implications within its complexity.


Interning The “Non-Alien” Other: The Illusory Protections Of Citizenship, Natsu Taylor Saito Apr 2005

Interning The “Non-Alien” Other: The Illusory Protections Of Citizenship, Natsu Taylor Saito

Law and Contemporary Problems

Saito draws parallels between the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII and the current actions being taken by the US government as it seeks out terrorists in the post-9/11 world. The action of unequal prosecution of citizens based on race has roots that extend far back in American history, and the unfair internment of citizens in the 20th century should not be considered an aberration of public policy.


Walking While Muslim, Margaret Chon, Donna E. Arzt Apr 2005

Walking While Muslim, Margaret Chon, Donna E. Arzt

Law and Contemporary Problems

The authors examine the linkage between the social justice claims of Japanese Americans during WWII and Muslim Americans in today's post-9/11 era. Muslims are considered a significant component of the war on terror, but it is unclear whether this classification is based upon race or religion.

European Principles Governing National Administrative Proceedings, Claudio Franchini Dec 2004

European Principles Governing National Administrative Proceedings, Claudio Franchini

Law and Contemporary Problems

It is critical that the process of developing general principles of Community administrative law continue, notwithstanding the marked diversity of supranational administrative proceedings. Because Community law has traditionally been focused on activities relevant to the common market, an asymmetry between the regulation of market-related administrative proceedings and other types of administrative proceedings has developed.


The Proceedings Of The European Ombudsman, Simone Cadeddu Dec 2004

The Proceedings Of The European Ombudsman, Simone Cadeddu

Law and Contemporary Problems

Given the severe institutional shortcomings of the European Ombudsman and the poor understanding of his duties among European citizens, the Ombudsman's information strategy does not appear to have been very effective so far. With dedication and activism, the Ombudsman continues to travel tirelessly year after year, participating in conferences, seminars, meetings, and visits with officials of Community and national institutions in all of the 25 Member States.


European Administrative Proceedings, Sabino Cassese Dec 2004

European Administrative Proceedings, Sabino Cassese

Law and Contemporary Problems

Cassese discusses the third strategy of administrative integration, mixed or composite proceedings in which both Community and national authorities participate. Cassese analyzes how the common element takes root in the national part of the proceeding, what the national and supranational parts consist of, and the extent to which they remain distinct or appear instead as a single unit.

Three Generations Of Participation Rights Before The European Commission, Francesca Bignami

Law and Contemporary Problems

Bignami offers a conceptual framework for analyzing the development of participation rights before the European Commission from the early 1970s to the present day. Process rights before the Commission can be divided into three categories, each of which is associated with a distinct phase in European Community history and a particular set of institutional actors.

Law and Contemporary Problems

The European Union’S Mixed Administrative Proceedings, Giacinto Della Cananea

Law and Contemporary Problems

Administrative Proceedings Involving European Agencies, Edoardo Chiti

Law and Contemporary Problems

Chiti reconstructs the peculiar features of proceedings involving European agencies by analyzing the relevant positive law, administrative practice, and case law. This is to ascertain, in part, what is distinctive about these proceedings, as compared to the other procedural models that are progressively emerging in the Community legal order.
