"Balancing Your Strengths Against Your Felonies": Considerations For Military Recruitment Of Ex-Offenders, Michael Boucai Jul 2007

"Balancing Your Strengths Against Your Felonies": Considerations For Military Recruitment Of Ex-Offenders, Michael Boucai

Journal Articles

Existing work on ex-offenders’ access to military employment too narrowly represents both the Armed Forces’ and the public’s interests in the issue. This Article proposes to shift the conversation from ex-offenders’ usefulness to the Armed Forces to the reciprocal responsibilities and benefits involved for these potential recruits, the military, and society at large. Part One reviews the rules, policies, and procedures governing the “moral waivers” that allow thousands of individuals with criminal histories to enlist each year, and it shows that that the waiver system nonetheless often fails to detect the criminal backgrounds of many recruits. Part Two reviews some …

In The Global Market For Justice: Who Is Paying The Highest Price For Judicial Independence?, Kelly J. Varsho Jul 2007

In The Global Market For Justice: Who Is Paying The Highest Price For Judicial Independence?, Kelly J. Varsho

Northern Illinois University Law Review

Although states have continued to adapt their selection systems, as long as they rely on some form of election, the contests will continue to get nastier, nosier, and costlier, showing the need for reform. This comment surveys foreign countries, and their judicial selection systems, as alternatives to the current selection methods utilized by the states. After laying a foundation by defining independence, impartiality, and their intersection with accountability, the paper examines the current selection methods used by the states and the various regulations in place concerning judicial selection. The problems caused by judicial elections and their proposed solutions are also …


The Almost Rise And Not Quite Fall Of The Political Gerrymander, Michael J. Kasper Jul 2007

The Almost Rise And Not Quite Fall Of The Political Gerrymander, Michael J. Kasper

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This article discusses what future, if any, political gerrymandering claims have in light of the Supreme Court's decision in LULAC v. Perry, the Texas redistricting case. The article also examines the various methods and standards that have been proposed, and ultimately rejected, for measuring partisan gerrymandering claims since the Supreme Court first addressed the issue in 1986. Finally, the article considers the effectiveness of the political gerrymander as a method of political party entrenchment.

Bankruptcy For The Poor?, Stephanie Ben-Ishai, Saul Schwartz Jul 2007

Bankruptcy For The Poor?, Stephanie Ben-Ishai, Saul Schwartz

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

The conventional wisdom is that the poor are not heavy users of the insolvency system, because creditors are unwilling to take risks on the poor and because many of the poor are judgment-proof. However, credit is now widely available across the spectrum of income groups. In addition, poverty is often a temporary state for many Canadians; therefore, being judgment-proof is likewise temporary. Some of those who are poor at any point in time are in fact in need of bankruptcy protection. They have debts that they are unable to pay and little likelihood of being able to repay in the …


Harper V. Poway Unified School District: The Wrong Path To The Right Outcome?, Mark A. Perlaky Jul 2007

Harper V. Poway Unified School District: The Wrong Path To The Right Outcome?, Mark A. Perlaky

Northern Illinois University Law Review

A case note looking at the case of Harper v. Poway Unified School District, where a high school student wished to wear a t-shirt to school that was derogatory towards homosexual students and was met with discipline by school officials. The note observes the 9th Circuit's holding that Harper had violated the "rights of others" prong of Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District, while suggesting that the appellate court was not entirely correct in its holdings. The note then examines how other school speech cases, including Bethel School District No. 403 v. Fraser, and Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, …


“Dollars, Cpi, And Voter Empowerment": Public Act 94-976 And Its Impact On Local Government Tax Referenda, Shawn P. Flaherty Jul 2007

“Dollars, Cpi, And Voter Empowerment": Public Act 94-976 And Its Impact On Local Government Tax Referenda, Shawn P. Flaherty

Northern Illinois University Law Review

Units of local government in the State of Illinois are increasingly reliant upon the property tax to support operations. The Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL) has placed limits on the ability of local governmental units to raise property taxes, and has forced units subject to the PTELL to seek property tax increase referenda to increase tax rates. Public Act 94-976 markedly changed the manner in which property tax increase referenda are presented to the voting public and how successful local governmental units may levy and phase-in approved PTELL referenda increases. This article details the changes caused by this new …


O Brave New World? Electronic Voting Machines And Internet Voting: An Annotated Bibliography, Therese A. Clark Arado, Susan M. Boland Jul 2007

O Brave New World? Electronic Voting Machines And Internet Voting: An Annotated Bibliography, Therese A. Clark Arado, Susan M. Boland

Northern Illinois University Law Review

Although the Florida debacle during the 2000 Presidential election, which nearly precipitated a constitutional crisis, happened over six years ago, its reverberations continue to be felt. Since that time there has been an explosion of research and literature on voting. In particular, researchers have focused intense scrutiny on voting technology and Internet voting. While election administrators hailed new voting technology as a savior for error prone, old voting machinery, and many looked on Internet voting as the future; it soon appeared that it raised serious new issues. This bibliography consists of annotated references to books, reports, periodical articles, and cases …

Taking Voting Rights Seriously: Race And The Integrity Of Democracy In America, Steven Ramirez, Aliza Organick Jul 2007

Taking Voting Rights Seriously: Race And The Integrity Of Democracy In America, Steven Ramirez, Aliza Organick

Northern Illinois University Law Review

In the end, democratic theory rests upon notions of market efficiency. Elections, like markets, involve the expression of preferences by numerous participants in the hope that collective judgments are a superior means of choosing policies, and ultimately laws, that will best serve the common weal. Yet, like markets, elections can yield distorted outcomes if the fundamental mechanisms of democracy are distorted. In the United States today democracy suffers from manifold distortions. Among these distortions are the role of money in our democracy, the ability of those who govern to manipulate the governed (even to the point of representatives selecting voters …
