Constitutional Criminal Procedure, James P. Fleissner, Sarah B. Mabery, Jeanne L. Wiggins

Mercer Law Review

This Article surveys noteworthy 2000 decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in the field commonly known as Constitutional Criminal Procedure. As in past years, the survey focuses on significant decisions concerning the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures; the Fifth Amendment's privilege against self-incrimination, prohibition against double jeopardy, and guarantees of due process and grand jury screening; and the Sixth Amendment's procedural protections, including the right to counsel and the right of confrontation. Of course, most of these rights, with few exceptions, such as the right to have charges approved by a …

Hybrid Organizations And The Alignment Of Interests: The Case Of Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac, Jonathan G.S. Koppell

Publications from President Jonathan G.S. Koppell

This article explores the political influence of government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs). Using Congress's overhaul of the regulatory infrastructure for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as a case study, the article presents two principal findings: (1) The characteristics that distinguish government-sponsored enterprises from traditional government agencies and private companies endow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with unique political resources; and (2) the alignment of interest groups around Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is subject to strategic manipulation by the GSEs. A triangular model of this alignment is proposed and employed to analyze the legislative outcome. The case has implications for students of …

Employment Discrimination, Peter Reed Corbin, John E. Duvall

Mercer Law Review

The field of employment discrimination law was alive and well in the Eleventh Circuit during the 2000 survey period. Indeed, the area is not even showing any signs of slowing down. The case receiving the most press was the Supreme Court's decision in Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Products, Inc. , which, although an age discrimination action, will have a large impact on whether cases reach a jury in all areas of employment discrimination law. The Eleventh Circuit also handed down a number of notable decisions, particularly in the area of sexual harassment, the disparate impact theory of liability, and the …

Book Review: Women Under The Law: The False Promise Of Human Rights, S. I. Strong

Faculty Publications

Though McColgan's book promises much, it fails to persuade the reader for several reasons. First, a number of the examples used to demonstrate the inferiority of entrenched rights actually suggest the opposite. The second reason why McColgan fails to persuade results from her forcing constitutional arguments where there are none. The third problem with this book is its failure to extrapolate its arguments about women to other disadvantaged groups.

Despite these shortcomings, there is much in McColgan's book to recommend it. Her prose is fluid, her presentation of US and Canadian law, particularly regarding abortion, is extensive, and her arguments …

Book Review: The Business Of Judging, S. I. Strong

Faculty Publications

Lord Bingham of Cornhill is no stranger to the business of judging. Senior Lord of Appeal in Ordinary, former Lord Chief Justice of England, former Master of the Rolls, he has been sitting on the bench in one capacity or another for the last twenty years - twenty-five if one counts his tenure as a recorder. Although he began his career at the bar in 1959 as a commercial and civil lawyer, his appointment in 1996 as Lord Chief Justice placed him at the apex of the criminal justice system. In becoming senior Law Lord, Lord Bingham has expanded his …

Mediation And Domestic Violence: A Practical Screening Method For Mediators And Mediation Program Administrators, Alexandria Zylstra

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Presented with such a dearth of standard practices and literature, family mediators have little guidance in whether and how to address cases involving domestic violence. Thus, this article sets forth a mediation screening framework that mediators and mediation program administrators can use to evaluate whether cases are appropriate for regular mediation (joint session without special safety measures), some modified form of mediation, or should be excluded from mediation. Such a method will better ensure a safe and fair mediation experience. Part II briefly examines the controversy surrounding the mediation of cases involving domestic violence, concluding that the arguments against mediating …

Supreme Court Defines Final Decisions Relating To Arbitration Decisions And Ducks The More Important Costs Issue - Green Tree Financial Corp. - Alabama V. Randolph, The, Franklin D. Romines Ii.

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The United States Supreme Court in Green Tree Financial Corp. - Alabama v. Randolph dealt with two arbitration issues of varying import. The less controversial issue involved defining the term 'final decision' in the context of arbitration proceedings.2 The second major issue in the case provided the Court an opportunity to analyze cost assignments in arbitration agreements that were silent on the issue.3 This issue has generated considerable policy disagreement among the circuits

Be Careful What You Say In Mediation - Indiana Supreme Court Rules That Oral Settlement Agreements Reached In Mediation Must Be In Writing To Be Enforceable - Kirk E. And Martha Vernon V. Adam J. Acton, Garrett S. Taylor

Journal of Dispute Resolution

When parties use mediation as an alternative to litigation, they generally expect the agreement will be binding upon the parties and confidential. However, the parties must ensure that the agreement they reach is reduced to writing or the agreement may not be enforceable. Furthermore, certain things said during the mediation session may be admissible in future litigation proceedings. The Indiana Supreme Court, in Vernon v. Acton, held that until mediation agreements are reduced to writing and signed by the parties, they must be considered compromise settlement negotiations under the applicable evidence rules and are not admissible as evidence of an …

How To Steal A Trillion: The Uses Of Laws About Lawmaking In 2001, Charles Tiefer

All Faculty Scholarship

How did Congress pass President Bush's 2001 trillion-dollar tax cut pass without the necessary consensus shape and without the 60 Senate votes required to overcome resistance? How was the House able to give "fast track" treatment to laws designed to implement future trade deals? How was the 2001 Congress able to reject a new workplace ergonomic rule that would otherwise become law? In 2001, American lawmakers passed laws to make controversial laws, forcing the important question about whether laws about lawmaking actually serve the public interest.

In this article, the author explores the constitutional limits on laws about lawmaking and …
