Law On The Rocks: The Intoxication Defenses Are Being Eighty-Sixed, Meghan P. Ingle
Law On The Rocks: The Intoxication Defenses Are Being Eighty-Sixed, Meghan P. Ingle
Vanderbilt Law Review
The ever-controversial voluntary intoxication defense faces possible elimination by statutory abrogation. Originally developed by nineteenth-century common law courts, the defense recognizes that an intoxicated defendant may be incapable of possessing the mens rea specified by an offense. Increasingly criticized in recent years, the defense received a substantial blow to its continued vitality in the 1996 Supreme Court decision Montana v. Egelhoff. In a sharply divided opinion," a plurality of the Court held that a defendant does not possess a constitutional right to present evidence of voluntary intoxication in his defense. The Egelhoff decision has caused much commentary, both positive and …
Fmla Notice Requirements And The Chevron Test: Maintaining A Hard-Fought Balance, Shay E. Zeemer
Fmla Notice Requirements And The Chevron Test: Maintaining A Hard-Fought Balance, Shay E. Zeemer
Vanderbilt Law Review
The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 ("FMLA" or "the Act"), an act that extends twelve weeks leave to employees for certain medical and family situations, seemed like a panacea for the everyday battles employees face in balancing work and family needs.' At last, the Act's supporters thought, an employee can take time off to care for a loved one, or have a child, and return to find his or her job intact. In the eight years since its enactment, how- ever, the FMLA finds employees and employers alike disillusioned, uncertain about rights and obligations, and still fighting to …
Proving An Employer's Intent: Disparate Treatment Discrimination And The Stray Remarks Doctrine After Reeves V. Sanderson Plumbing Products, Laina R. Reinsmith
Proving An Employer's Intent: Disparate Treatment Discrimination And The Stray Remarks Doctrine After Reeves V. Sanderson Plumbing Products, Laina R. Reinsmith
Vanderbilt Law Review
Throughout the development of employment discrimination law, the United States Supreme Court has wrestled with the task of producing a suitable analytical framework, under which plaintiffs can attempt to prove their cases of disparate treatment by their employers. An element of this task has been determining which types of evidence of discriminatory intent have probative value, and what effect that evidence should have on plaintiffs' and defendants' cases. In June 2000, the Supreme Court decided Reeves v. Sander- son Plumbing Products,' a case involving a disparate treatment claim brought by an employee alleging age discrimination by his employer in violation …
Why A Board? Group Decisionmaking In Corporate Governance, Stephen M. Bainbridge
Why A Board? Group Decisionmaking In Corporate Governance, Stephen M. Bainbridge
Vanderbilt Law Review
This Article begins by briefly describing the role of the board both in law and in practice. Part II explores the distinction be- tween consensus and authority as modes of institutional decision- making. As hierarchical institutions, corporations rely far more heavily on authority than on consensus. Yet, at the apex of the hierarchy is a collegial body that functions mainly by consensus.
Part III is the core of the Article. In order to evaluate corporate law's preference for collective decisionmaking, we need to know whether group decisionmaking is superior to that of individuals. A wealth of experimental data suggests that …
Trial Rights And Psychotropic Drugs: The Case Against Administering Involuntary Medications To A Defendant During Trial, Dora W. Klein
Trial Rights And Psychotropic Drugs: The Case Against Administering Involuntary Medications To A Defendant During Trial, Dora W. Klein
Vanderbilt Law Review
The right of an accused in a criminal trial to due process is, in essence, the right to a fair opportunity to defend against the State's accusations. Those who have experienced the full thrust of the power of government when leveled against them know that the only protection the citizen has is in the requirement for a fair trial. [I]nvoluntary medication with antipsychotic drugs poses a serious threat to a defendant's right to a fair trial. On July 24, 1998, Russell Weston shot and killed two police officers, and wounded a third, near a security checkpoint in the United States …
Theology In The Jury Room: Religious Discussion As "Extraneous Material" In The Course Of Capital Punishment Deliberations, Gregory M. Ashley
Theology In The Jury Room: Religious Discussion As "Extraneous Material" In The Course Of Capital Punishment Deliberations, Gregory M. Ashley
Vanderbilt Law Review
"Why would a God concerned about justice in a matter of life and death be willing to delegate an absolute power over life and death to such fallible and morally benighted creatures?'"
In the landmark Furman v. Georgia decision, Justice Brennan likened capital punishment to a mere game of chance: "When the punishment of death is inflicted in a trivial number of the cases in which it is legally available, the conclusion is virtually inescapable that it is being inflicted arbitrarily. Indeed, it smacks of little more than a lottery system." Although Brennan's argument in Furman focused primarily on disparities …
Citation And Representation, Alex Glashausser
Citation And Representation, Alex Glashausser
Vanderbilt Law Review
A war is raging in the legal citation field. Arbitrary changes in the Bluebook from one edition to the next have incited a populist rebellion in the form of the Association of Legal Writing Directors' ALWD Citation Manual. This Article traces the causes of the conflict and assesses its likely outcomes. Professor Glashausser compares the two citation guides to eighteenth- century Great Britain and America: the Bluebook is the elite empire clinging to its position, and the Manual is the challenger hoping to ride a wave of populism to revolution. Overall, Professor Glashausser's Article sides with the Manual as the …
