The Gray Zone In The Power Of Local Municipalities: Where Zoning Authority Clashes With State Law, Skye L. Daley
The Gray Zone In The Power Of Local Municipalities: Where Zoning Authority Clashes With State Law, Skye L. Daley
The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law
This article will explore the oft-overlooked area of police powers granted to local municipalities by the California Constitution through the lens of marijuana dispensaries. These dispensaries, and the obstacles they face, provide the perfect vantage point from which to survey the current status of zoning power in California. This article will consider the extent and limits of what is known as the “police powers” of local municipalities: the power of cities, towns and counties to regulate, restrict, and proscribe the way in which land can be utilized within its borders. If local municipalities are the creation of the state--indeed, an …
Parliamentary Oversight Of The Executive In India, Anirudh Burman
Parliamentary Oversight Of The Executive In India, Anirudh Burman
Anirudh Burman
The need for a strong monitoring mechanism of the executive in India has been made clearer by recent allegations of corruption against high-ranking officials of the central government. The Indian Parliament is the ideal institution to perform such a monitoring function through oversight of the central executive. The executive in India is directly accountable to the Parliament. Making oversight by Parliament stronger and more effective would therefore increase the accountability of the executive. Additionally, an increased oversight role would allow for greater policy inputs from Parliament to the executive. It would also increase the general level of expertise within Parliament …
The Representative Equality Principle: Disaggregating The Equal Protection Intent Standard, Bertrall L. Ross Ii
The Representative Equality Principle: Disaggregating The Equal Protection Intent Standard, Bertrall L. Ross Ii
Fordham Law Review
Challenges under the Equal Protection Clause require proof of intentional discrimination. Though rarely questioned by legal scholars or the courts, that conventional account cannot explain the success of equal protection challenges to electoral structures that dilute the vote of racial minorities. In the Supreme Court’s most recent decisions on vote dilution, the Court has invalidated local electoral structures under the Equal Protection Clause to the extent that they deprive African Americans of the opportunity for effective representation in the political process. The Court has reached its decisions despite the absence of any proof of intentional discrimination in the adoption of …
Seeking Liberty’S Refuge: Analyzing Legislative Purpose Under Casey’S Undue Burden Standard, Lucy E. Hill
Seeking Liberty’S Refuge: Analyzing Legislative Purpose Under Casey’S Undue Burden Standard, Lucy E. Hill
Fordham Law Review
In the 1992 decision Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, the U.S. Supreme Court crafted the “undue burden” standard for evaluating the constitutionality of abortion laws. Under that standard, a state is free to regulate abortion, as long as the regulation does not impose an undue burden on a woman’s right to an abortion. Although the standard is disjunctive, the Casey opinion focuses on the “effect” prong of the test, with little guidance as to what a “purpose” prong inquiry would look like. Subsequent Supreme Court abortion jurisprudence has served only to obscure the issue. Circuit courts, therefore, …
States' Rights Apogee, 1760-1840, Ryan Setliff
States' Rights Apogee, 1760-1840, Ryan Setliff
Masters Theses
America's states' rights tradition has held much influence since the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1788. In late 1798, in response to the Federalist administration's adoption of the Alien and Sedition Acts, the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions were formally adopted by the legislatures of Virginia and Kentucky respectively. These resolutions set a lasting precedent for state interposition and nullification. As well concurrence with these doctrines can be found in the Virginia Resolves of 1790, the constitutional debates of 1787-1790, and all throughout the colonial-revolutionary period of the 1760s to 1780s. In time, the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions would gain …

Defects, Due Process, And Protective Proceedings, Susan G. Haines, John J. Campbell
Marquette Elder's Advisor
This article discusses whether the requirements of due process in protective proceedings be any lower that those in criminal, juvenile, or civil commitment cases. The authors argue that the requirements should not be lower. The article discusses the application of Mathews v. Eldridge to due process analysis in guardianship and conservatorship proceedings.

Treated With Respect: Enforcing Patient Autonomy By Defending Advance Directives, Carol J. Wessels
Marquette Elder's Advisor
Wessels discusses the right of competent individuals to direct their own health care and the obstacles encountered in enforcing these rights under a power of attorney for health care or an advance directive. The rights to make such decisions are explored, as well as the barriers to enforcement, both statutory and provider related. Several causes of action against non-compliant actors are discussed.

Turnipseed Associate Professor of Law Syracuse University College of Law in•cest (ĭn'sěst') Sexual relations between family members or close relatives, including children related by adoption.

Should one who adopts his or her adult lover or spouse be prosecuted for incest? Think about it: the person is having sexual relations with his or …
The Second Amendment: What "Arms" Are Protected?, James M. Ramey
The Second Amendment: What "Arms" Are Protected?, James M. Ramey
James M Ramey
If the Supreme Court wants to give some lasting meaning to the Heller decision and the Second Amendment, it needs to first clearly establish what criteria a firearm needs to satisfy outside the categorical rules before it will be a protected arm under the in common use test. In doing so it needs to provide factors for what makes a weapon “dangerous and unusual” (whether popularity based or otherwise) and clarify to what extent the typically possessed by law abiding citizens language gets applied to the in common use analysis in addition to what it means to be “typically possessed …
Automatic Continuing Resolutions: A Cure Worse Than The Ailment, Philip J. Candreva
Automatic Continuing Resolutions: A Cure Worse Than The Ailment, Philip J. Candreva
Philip J. Candreva
Nearly every year Congress fails to pass all of the appropriations acts before the start of the federal fiscal year. This necessitates the passage of a temporary spending measure – a continuing resolution – or there will be at least a partial government shutdown. Both contingencies are costly and disruptive to the efficient and effective operation of government. Over the last 30 years, there have been several legislative proposals to enact an automatic continuing resolution mechanism that would mitigate the costs to public management. Such proposals, however, are costly for political and legal reasons. This article examines the arguments for …
Constitutional Principles, David B. Lyons
Constitutional Principles, David B. Lyons
Faculty Scholarship
Principles that are not given by the constitutional text are sometimes attributed to the Constitution. This is done within Professor Balkin’s “framework originalism.”1 The question I wish to consider is how it may properly be done. How can it be shown that the Constitution is committed tacitly to a given principle? I shall discuss Balkin’s theory with that question in mind.
Punishment Without Culpability, John F. Stinneford
Punishment Without Culpability, John F. Stinneford
UF Law Faculty Publications
For more than half a century, academic commentators have criticized the Supreme Court for failing to articulate a substantive constitutional conception of criminal law. Although the Court enforces various procedural protections that the Constitution provides for criminal defendants, it has left the question of what a crime is purely to the discretion of the legislature. This failure has permitted legislatures to evade the Constitution’s procedural protections by reclassifying crimes as civil causes of action, eliminating key elements (such as mens rea) or reclassifying them as defenses or sentencing factors, and authorizing severe punishments for crimes traditionally considered relatively minor.

In Medias Res, Larry Yackle
Faculty Scholarship
It’s common in academic circles to distinguish between positive arguments (which describe things as they are) and normative arguments (which prescribe the way things ought to be). The distinction dissolves as soon as accounts of how the world works spill over into justifications for the status quo. That happens a lot, especially in discussions of theory. It happens again in David Strauss’ wonderful monograph.1 Strauss offers a succinct exposition of the constitutional system we actually observe, coupled with a powerful explanation of how and why the scheme functions as it does and genuine reassurance that, on the whole, we can …

Nick Salvatore
[Excerpt] In January 2004, before a black church congregation in New Orleans, President George W. Bush commemorated Martin Luther King's birthday with a spirited promotion of his faith-based initiatives. Appropriating the slain Civil Rights leader's profession of faith, Bush proclaimed his ultimate purpose was to change "America one heart, one soul, one conscience at a time." He emphasized voluntary action by citizens (four times he extolled them as "the social entrepreneurs") and he consistency denigrated the role of government but for one critical function: providing "billions of dollars" to faith-based social-service groups. Proclaiming the values of the Christian Bible as …

Ensuring The Stability Of Presidential Succession In The Modern Era: Report Of The Fordham University School Of Law Clinic On Presidential Succession, Fordham Law School Clinic On Presidential Succession
Reports
This Report outlines the recommendations of Fordham Law's first Presidential Succession Clinic, whose nine students conducted their work during the 2010-2011 academic year under the guidance of Dean John D. Feerick and Adjunct Professors Dora Galacatos and Nicole A. Gordon. Their recommendations for resolving the gaps and weaknesses in the presidential succession system include: (1) statutes and executive branch actions to account for the absence of procedures for declaring the Vice President unable; (2) removing legislators from the line of succession and resolving ambiguities regarding the line of the succession; and (3) reforms for addressing the death or resignation of …
Dubious Delegation: Article Iii Limits On Mental Health Treatment Decisions, Adam Teitelbaum
Dubious Delegation: Article Iii Limits On Mental Health Treatment Decisions, Adam Teitelbaum
Michigan Law Review
A common condition of supervised release requires a defendant, post-incarceration, to participate in a mental health treatment program. Federal district courts often order probation officers to make certain decisions ancillary to these programs. However Article III delegation doctrine places limits on such actions. This Note addresses the constitutionality of delegating the "treatment program" decision, in which a probation officer decides which type of treatment the defendant must undergo; the choice is often between inpatient treatment and other less restrictive alternatives. The resolution of this issue ultimately depends on whether this decision constitutes a "judicial act." Finding support in lower court …
Hamilton And Madison Deploy ‘Constitution’ In The Federalist Papers: Semantic Values Surveyed, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Hamilton And Madison Deploy ‘Constitution’ In The Federalist Papers: Semantic Values Surveyed, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
The eighty-five Federal Papers (authors James Madison and Alexander Hamilton; John Jay contributed five) are justifiably famous as elaborations of constitutional structure and text, sans citation to the convention, understandably, since secrecy imposed by Standing Order on May 28th was continued indefinitely (at the pleasure/non-action of Congress) on September 17th. Counts on semantic value/s of ‘constitution’ and ‘constitutional’ are surveyed.
United States V. Klein, Then And Now, Gordon G. Young
United States V. Klein, Then And Now, Gordon G. Young
Gordon G. Young
United States v. Klein, decided during Reconstruction, was the first Supreme Court case to invalidate a statutory restriction on federal courts’ jurisdiction. It is the only one to do so by finding a violation of Article III of the Constitution. Klein has been cited in thirty-three United States Supreme Court opinions, and roughly five hundred times each by lower federal courts and law journal articles. Recent commentators have read Klein both too broadly and narrowly. Its central holding is that Congress may not grant federal courts jurisdiction to decide a set of cases on the merits while depriving them …
