Bulwark Of Equality: The Jury In America, Nino C. Monea
Bulwark Of Equality: The Jury In America, Nino C. Monea
West Virginia Law Review
Many decry the state of societal inequality in modern America. Juries are not normally thought of as part of the solution, but history shows that they should be. It reveals that juries oftentimes advanced the interests of the poor and lowly when no one else would. It also reveals that powerful interests—government and corporate—have sought to disempower juries that rule in favor of marginalized groups. This Article examines four contexts throughout our history where juries have enhanced societal equality. (1) In early America, they resisted the British government and in the nascent republic were friends to debtors and farmers. (2) …

Smart Contracts And Consumers, Tatiana Cutts
Smart Contracts And Consumers, Tatiana Cutts
West Virginia Law Review
“Smart contracts” are a way of using computers to make contracts unbreakable. Contracting parties do not need to trust one another to perform or rely upon intermediaries to enforce performance. Performance is guaranteed. This is supposed to be a victory for the ordinary person—a clever socio-economic application of cryptography that strips power from companies and governments and gives it to consumers. But it turns out that less trust does not mean more freedom, or better bargains. The law of contract supports valuable relationships both by enforcing duties and by allowing parties to escape the consequences of ill-formed contracts and oppressive …

Criminal Law’S Folk Psychological Dilemma: Resolving Neuroscientific And Philosophical Challenges To The Voluntary Act Requirement, Branden D. Jung Esq.
Criminal Law’S Folk Psychological Dilemma: Resolving Neuroscientific And Philosophical Challenges To The Voluntary Act Requirement, Branden D. Jung Esq.
West Virginia Law Review
Criminal law has adopted the folk psychological view of human agency. Under this view, voluntary action exists and mental states, such as intentions, goals, and desires, have a causal relationship with bodily movement. However, new advances in neuroscience have begun to challenge this model and have lent empirical support to the idea that mental states may not play a causal role in bodily movement. This has profound implications for the voluntary act element of actus reus because the requirement presupposes the folk psychological view of agency. Nevertheless, criminal law can avoid this dilemma through praxeology, the deductive study of human …
Hard Cases Make Bad Law: Extraterritorial Application Of The United States Constitution, Brendan O. Beutell
Hard Cases Make Bad Law: Extraterritorial Application Of The United States Constitution, Brendan O. Beutell
West Virginia Law Review
The Constitution’s extraterritorial scope does not arise often in litigation. Two recent decisions broached the issue. Both arrived at opposite conclusions. And these decisions share a common thread: They confuse more than they clarify while begetting novel questions of law. Does the Constitution protect noncitizens abroad? If so, how? If not, why not? This Note addresses each of these questions in turn. Ultimately, this Note concludes that the Constitution does not have any extraterritorial application whatsoever to noncitizens abroad.

Privacy Spaces, Bert-Jaap Koops
Privacy Spaces, Bert-Jaap Koops
West Virginia Law Review
Privacy literature contains conceptualizations of privacy in relation to role-playing and identity construction, and in relation to access control and boundary-management. In this paper, I combine both strands to introduce the concept of privacy spaces: spaces in which you can play, in your own way, the relevant role(s) you have in social life. Drawing from privacy conceptions in legal scholarship, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, human geography, and psychology, a systematic overview of traditional privacy spaces is offered, including mental bubbles, the body, personal space, personal writings, the home, private conversation space, cars, stalls, intimacy bubbles, professional black boxes, coffee house spaces, …
Geographic Discrimination: Of Place, Space, Hillbillies, And Home, William Rhee, Stephen C. Scott
Geographic Discrimination: Of Place, Space, Hillbillies, And Home, William Rhee, Stephen C. Scott
West Virginia Law Review
This Essay explores the two-sided challenge of geographic discrimination, where U.S. citizens receive disparate treatment from other citizens or the government solely because of where they live or self-identify as home, through the interdisciplinary concepts of space, place, and distance; and an original examination of discrimination against Appalachians. Such disparate treatment is unavoidable and even arguably politically correct. Where we call home matters in a number of legitimate ways to include our access to jobs and services, culture, educational opportunities, and other basic human capabilities. Although technology has increased individual mobility more than ever before, a majority of Americans nevertheless …
The Take Care Clause, Justice Department Independence, And White House Control, Andrew Mccanse Wright
The Take Care Clause, Justice Department Independence, And White House Control, Andrew Mccanse Wright
West Virginia Law Review
Problematic relations between the White House and the U.S. Department of Justice stand out even amidst the broader tumult of President Donald Trump's first year in office. With respect to written policy restricting contacts between the White House staff and the Department, the Trump White House has followed the general contours of predecessor administrations. Those policies recognize that White House contacts restrictions vary with the Department’s complex functions, restrict channels of contact, and restrict personnel authorized to make contacts. They also grant limited exceptions where White House-Department contact is required to assist the President in the performance of a constitutional …
