The "Solely Criminal Purpose" Defense To The Enforcement Of Irs Summonses, Darius J. Mehraban

Michigan Law Review

Recent years have witnessed a gradual erosion of the practical distinctions between the civil and criminal investigations performed by federal administrative agencies. This trend arose naturally from a growing number of federal statutes and regulations that carry both civil and criminal penalties for their violation. Administrative agencies today wield investigative summons power almost as expansive as the grand jury subpoena power and can use that power to investigate without first deciding whether criminal or civil liability ultimately will be sought. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has participated to some extent in this intermingling of civil and criminal inquiry - with …

The Kindred Client - Interview With Susan Rutberg, Jorge Aquino

Interviews

Prof. Susan Rutberg is interviewed about her defense of Attorney Stephen Bingham.

In this interview for The Recorder with freelance writer Jorge Aquino, Rutberg says Bingham's trial did more than present competing theories about what happened on an especially dark day in California history. Instead, she explains, the case became a referendum on Bingham's character: Was he, as Rutberg says, "an innocent client who was caught in a web of circumstantial evidence and who had led an exemplary life"? Or was Bingham, as a prison official put it, a "dilettante revolutionary" bent on undermining prison security?

Unequal Justice: The Federalization Of Criminal Law, Steven D. Clymer

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

From humble beginnings, federal substantive criminal law has grown to prohibit a wide range of conduct, including much that state criminal laws also proscribe. This expansion, commonly called federalization, has recently attracted substantial academic criticism. Some critics bemoan the federal government's intrusion into matters historically left to the states. Others denounce the burden on the federal judiciary of an increasing criminal caseload. However, there has been far less attention devoted to what may be the most troubling consequence of federalization: the dramatically disparate treatment of similarly situated offenders, depending on whether they are prosecuted in federal or state court. This …

Unshackling Black Motherhood, Dorothy E. Roberts

Michigan Law Review

When stories about the prosecutions of women for using drugs during pregnancy first appeared in newspapers in 1989, I immediately suspected that most of the defendants were Black women. Charging someone with a crime for giving birth to a baby seemed to fit into the legacy of devaluing Black mothers. I was so sure of this intuition that I embarked on my first major law review article based on the premise that the prosecutions perpetuated Black women's subordination. My hunch turned out to be right: a memorandum prepared by the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project documented cases brought against pregnant women …

Lynching Ethics: Toward A Theory Of Racialized Defenses, Anthony V. Alfieri

Michigan Law Review

So much depends upon a rope in Mobile, Alabama. To hang Michael Donald, Henry Hays and James "Tiger" Knowles tied up "a piece of nylon rope about twenty feet long, yellow nylon." They borrowed the rope from Frank Cox, Hays's brother-in-law. Cox "went out in the back" of his mother's "boatshed, or something like that, maybe it was in the lodge." He "got a rope," climbed into the front seat of Hays's Buick Wildcat, and handed it to Knowles sitting in the back seat. So much depends upon a noose. Knowles "made a hangman's noose out of the rope," thirteen …

State Criminal Laws In Cyberspace: Reconciling Freedom For Users With Effective Law Enforcement, Sean M. Thornton

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

With the proliferation of online activities in recent years, legal thinkers and the criminal justice system have faced new questions concerning the conflict of state criminal laws. These new questions have old answers; the doctrine of constructive presence has established a state's authority to prescribe an out-of-state activity that has in-state effects. Beyond the mechanical application of jurisdictional rules, however, there lie deeper policy questions concerning the fairness of subjecting computer users to multiple, inconsistent bodies of law. Cyberspace exists in all jurisdictions, and in no particular jurisdiction, at once. There is an apparent tension between the free flow of …

Policing Hatred: Police Bias Units And The Construction Of Hate Crime, Jeannine Bell

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

Much of the scholarly debate about hate crime laws focuses on a discussion of their constitutionality under the First Amendment. Part of a larger empirical study of police methods of investigating hate crimes, this Note attempts to shift thinking in this area beyond the existing debate over the constitutionality of hate crime legislation to a discussion of how low-level criminal justice personnel, such as the police, enforce hate crime laws. This Note argues that, since hate crimes are an area in which police have great discretion in enforcing the law, their understanding of the First Amendment and how it relates …
