Felons, Firearms, And Federalism: Reconsidering Scarborough In Light Of Lopez, Brent E. Newton Oct 2001

Felons, Firearms, And Federalism: Reconsidering Scarborough In Light Of Lopez, Brent E. Newton

The Journal of Appellate Practice and Process

The application of the federal prohibition of felons possessing firearms is a stretch of the Commerce Clause. Most cases involve a felon who merely happened to be in possession of a firearm. The only relationship to interstate commerce in these cases is that the firearms found were usually manufactured in another state. The application of this prohibition leaves the future of federalism in question.

Constitutionality Of "No-Citation" Rules, Salem M. Katsh, Alex V. Chachkes Apr 2001

Constitutionality Of "No-Citation" Rules, Salem M. Katsh, Alex V. Chachkes

The Journal of Appellate Practice and Process

No-citation rules raise serious constitutional concerns. Assuming that it is constitutional to designate an opinion as nonprecedential, it is not constitutional to prohibit citing an opinion. No-citation rules are unconstitutional for two reasons. The first, citation prohibitions interfere with a litigant’s First Amendment right of speech and petition. Second, citation prohibitions violate the separation of powers.


Publicity And The Judicial Power, Daniel N. Hoffman Apr 2001

Publicity And The Judicial Power, Daniel N. Hoffman

The Journal of Appellate Practice and Process

The judicial branch was created in order to ensure that the rule of law and not the rule of man prevailed. Judges must use reasoning and analysis to fulfill this role. Making decisions based on mere coin tosses or without giving a reason for the decision detracts from the rule of law. Issuing decisions that cannot be published or cited also detracts the judicial role of ensuring that law rules the land.
