There's No Place Like Home: The Availability Of Judicial Review Over Certification Decisions Invoking Federal Jurisdiction Under The Juvenile Justice And Delinquency Prevention Act, Robert B. Mahini

Accordingly, Congress has expanded the federal government's ability to prosecute certain juvenile offenders by broadening the scope of federal jurisdiction.

The Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984, for example, authorizes federal prosecution …

Disposition Of Local's Funds Upon Disaffiliation, Joseph T. Svete

Cleveland State Law Review

Disposition of funds upon a local's disaffiliation from the international union has been one of the most difficult problems for the courts to overcome in the field of Labor Law.

This resulted in the development of six distinct doctrines: "implied condition" or "frustration of purpose," "local autonomy," "trust fund," "unclean hands," "certification" and "breach of …
