“The Last Acceptable Prejudice”: Student Harassment Of Gay Public School Teachers, Matthew Bernstein Dec 2014

“The Last Acceptable Prejudice”: Student Harassment Of Gay Public School Teachers, Matthew Bernstein

Tennessee Journal of Race, Gender, & Social Justice

In the United States, where the “marketplace of ideas” is a key social philosophy, few Americans receive the benefits of attending public schools with “out” gay and lesbian teachers. Even in an era where civil rights for homosexual public employees are increasing, more than one quarter of adults in the United States continue to believe that school boards should be permitted to fire teachers known to be homosexual. Amid a permissive legal climate that too easily puts aside the rights of teachers in a myopic focus on students, incidents where students harass teachers based on the teachers’ sexual orientation go …

The 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, And 3d Printed Guns, Josh Blackman Jan 2014

The 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, And 3d Printed Guns, Josh Blackman

Tennessee Law Review

We are standing at the dawn of the next great industrial revolution. With 3D printers people can print an infinite number of personalized and customized "things." However, one manifestation of this bold new technology threatens to cast a specter on innovation: 3D printed guns. This Article explores how efforts to regulate, or even ban 3D guns, must satisfy constitutional scrutiny under both the First and Second Amendments.

The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms includes a subsidiary right to acquire arms-what else are you going to keep and bear-which covers both the buyer, and seller in the transaction. …

Third-Party Litigation Funding And The Dodd-Frank Act, Victoria Shannon Jan 2014

Third-Party Litigation Funding And The Dodd-Frank Act, Victoria Shannon

Transactions: The Tennessee Journal of Business Law

This article questions whether the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) should apply to the growing phenomenon of third-party litigation funding, in which outside entities invest in litigation or arbitration for profit. Currently, the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom lightly regulate third-party litigation funding, but the majority of the day-to-day oversight comes through voluntary funder self-regulation. Most third-party funders of commercial disputes are private hedge funds that are subject to the securities regulations of the jurisdictions in which they operate. The Dodd-Frank Act is a relatively new statute in the United States that regulates …

Educating Athletes Re-Envisioning The Student-Athlete Model, William W. Berry Iii Jan 2014

Educating Athletes Re-Envisioning The Student-Athlete Model, William W. Berry Iii

Tennessee Law Review

This article contends that if the NCAA and universities are serious about saving the current student-athlete model, then they should double-down on the concept of "student" in the student-athlete model. In particular, this paper suggests that adopting a more realistic approach to educating athletes will benefit both the universities and student-athletes, relieving pressure on the current model and improving educational outcomes.

Specifically, this article argues for a revised student-athlete model. First, the new model would require mandatory six-year scholarships for student-athletes and a reduction in the required academic hours "in-season" from nine to three. The model also mandates that students …

Constitutional Trespass, Laurent Sacharoff Jan 2014

Constitutional Trespass, Laurent Sacharoff

Tennessee Law Review

The Supreme Court has recently created a trespass test for Fourth Amendment searches without explaining what type of trespass it envisions-one based on the common law of 1791, on the specific trespass law of the state where the search occurred, or on some other trespass principles. Indeed Florida v. Jardines, decided in 2013, raises the question whether the Court has created a trespass test at all, a seeming turnabout that largely recapitulates the Court's 125- year history of confusion in which it has embraced, rejected, or simply ignored trespass as a test from era to era or even year to …

Judge Rakoff V. The Securities And Exchange Commission: Are "Neither Admit Nor Deny" Settlement Agreements In Securities Cases In The Public Interest?, Daniel T. Hubbell

Transactions: The Tennessee Journal of Business Law

“DPAs [(Deferred Prosecution Agreements)] have had a truly transformative effect on particular companies and, more generally, on corporate culture across the globe,” declared Lanny Breuer, the head of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on September 13, 2012.2 Deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) and non-prosecution agreements (NPAs) are settlement agreements between a prosecutor and a defendant in which the prosecutor agrees to either defer or forego prosecution in return for the defendant’s cooperation in an ongoing investigation or prosecution, as well as an agreement to comply with the requirements of the settlement. Rather than forcing prosecutors to …
