Transnational Class Actions In The Shadow Of Preclusion, Zachary D. Clopton
Transnational Class Actions In The Shadow Of Preclusion, Zachary D. Clopton
Indiana Law Journal
The American class action is a procedural tool that advances substantive law values such as deterrence, compensation, and fairness. Opt-out class actions in particular achieve these goals by aggregating claims not only of active participants but also passive plaintiffs. Full faith and credit then extends the preclusive effect of class judgments to other U.S. courts. But there is no international full faith and credit obligation, and many foreign courts will not treat U.S. class judgments as binding on passive plaintiffs. Therefore, some plaintiffs may be able to wait until the U.S. class action is resolved before either joining the U.S. …
Scrutinizing Federal Electoral Qualifications, Derek T. Muller
Scrutinizing Federal Electoral Qualifications, Derek T. Muller
Indiana Law Journal
Candidates for federal office must meet several constitutional qualifications. Sometimes, whether a candidate meets those qualifications is a matter of dispute. Courts and litigants often assume that a state has the power to include or exclude candidates from the ballot on the basis of the state’s own scrutiny of candidates’ qualifications. Courts and litigants also often assume that the matter is not left to the states but to Congress or another political actor. But those contradictory assumptions have never been examined, until now.
This Article compiles the mandates of the Constitution, the precedents of Congress, the practices of states administering …
Lawyer-Client Confidentiality: Rethinking The Trilemma, Monroe H. Freedman
Lawyer-Client Confidentiality: Rethinking The Trilemma, Monroe H. Freedman
Hofstra Law Review
The article discusses three ethical obligations which bear on attorney-client confidentiality in America in cases involving client perjury as of 2015, and it mentions how U.S. lawyers are required to learn as much as they can about their clients' cases, inform their clients of a lawyer's obligation to keep information confidential, and reveal confidential information to a court if an attorney knows that a client has committed perjury. The American Bar Association's ethical rules are examined.
The Curious Exclusion Of Corporations From The Privileges And Immunites Clause Of Article Iv, Stewart Jay
The Curious Exclusion Of Corporations From The Privileges And Immunites Clause Of Article Iv, Stewart Jay
Hofstra Law Review
Since the mid-nineteenth century, courts consistently have held that corporations cannot be citizens for purposes of the Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article I of the U.S. Constitution. Judges reasoned that because corporations were not humans, they were unable to be “citizens” eligible for the clause’s protection against discriminatory treatment by states. Yet the Supreme Court also held that corporations were citizens for purposes of federal judicial jurisdiction, as well as “persons” under the Fourteenth Amendment. Extending these constitutional protections to corporations is based on the idea that businesses are owned by actual people who are harmed when their companies …

What Has The Supreme Court Taught: A Criticism Of The Unites States Supreme Court By Way Of A Critique Of Lance V. The Board Of Education Of Roane County, James Audley Mclaughlin
West Virginia Law Review
The subway fare in New York City was recently raised to thirty cents. Incensed citizens immediately declared they would go to court and have the increase declared unconstitutional. "Unconstitutional" and "constitutional rights" have become the watchwords of political protestors and reformers. Moreover, their political forum is often a court of law. Who taught the nation this rhetoric, this mode of action, and this attitude toward law, law reform, and politics? The Supreme Court of the United States. Has the Court deliberately taught this doctrine? No, nor is it apparently even conscious of what it has unwittingly done. It is important …
