The Judiciary In Virginia: Changes And Challenges In Virginia: One Trial Judge's Perspective, Thoma D. Horne Retired Judge
The Judiciary In Virginia: Changes And Challenges In Virginia: One Trial Judge's Perspective, Thoma D. Horne Retired Judge
Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest
With the convening of the 2014 Virginia General Assembly, members of the Senate and House received the anticipated 2013 Judicial Workload Assessment Report-a weighted case load study produced by the National Center for State Courts and commissioned by the legislature during its 2012 session. The purpose of the study was to help guide both the future selection of judges and the allocation of the political boundaries to be served by those judges. The results of the weighted caseload study as contained in the 2013 Report would validate many of those concerns expressed earlier by the 2011 Judicial Boundary Realignment Committee …
An Analysis Of The Political And Legal Debates Concerning Medicaid Expansion In Virginia, Rick Mayes Ph.D, Benjamin Paul
An Analysis Of The Political And Legal Debates Concerning Medicaid Expansion In Virginia, Rick Mayes Ph.D, Benjamin Paul
Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest
The Supreme Court's historic June 2012 ruling regarding the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius set the stage for a massive federalism battle over Medicaid expansion in the United States. The original language of the Act was intended to nationalize Medicaid by having every state expand their program's eligibility to all individuals up to 138% of the federal poverty level. This would have significantly reshaped Medicaid, a joint federal-state health insurance program, into a universal entitlement for all low-income citizens. Currently, Medicaid eligibility varies dramatically from state to state. The Court held that the …

The Legacy And Implications Of San Antonio Independent School District V. Rodriguez, Charles J. Ogletree Jr.
The Legacy And Implications Of San Antonio Independent School District V. Rodriguez, Charles J. Ogletree Jr.
Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest
The Supreme Court's school desegregation case law has been a confusing maze of fits and starts. In 1954, a unanimous Court declared in Brown v. Board of Education that education "must be made available to all on equal terms." Yet, less than 20 years later, the Court found a Texas education financing plan that allowed for significant differences in funding between school districts to be constitutional. This Article examines that decision, San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez, in more detail. It also discusses the case's legacy and numerous unresolved issues that still impact the Latino community today. Part II …
It Takes A Federalist Village: A Revitalized Property Tax As The Linchpin For Stable, Effective K-12 Public Education Funding, Mildred Wigfall Robinson
It Takes A Federalist Village: A Revitalized Property Tax As The Linchpin For Stable, Effective K-12 Public Education Funding, Mildred Wigfall Robinson
Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest
Public education in the United States is a big business. In the fall of 2011, more than 55.5 million students from kindergarten through 12th grade were expected to enroll in the nation's public schools at a total cost of $599,145,678,000. Though it is a service provided by local governments, its cost is borne by local, state, and, to a more limited extent, federal taxpayers. Providing public education is a massive undertaking and no one level of government can solely bear its cost. Governmental revenue sources, from which allocated shares of expense are presently borne, differ. Local funding is provided predominately …

Literacy, Poverty, And Brain Development: Toward A New, Place-Based Educational Intervention, Michael R. Hilton
Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest
This paper provides an overview of emerging research focused on how living in an area of concentrated poverty can impact brain development and explores some possible applications of this research to education policy. One of the key findings is that state and federal policy-makers may need to adopt programs that integrate educational policy with housing and planning policy in order to protect and fulfill each child's educational rights. In order to impress upon readers the scale of the nation's current educational failures and the need for a significant change in policy, this paper first addresses adult illiteracy in the United …

The First Attempt At Federalizing Tort Law And Why It Failed.", Ian J. Drake
The First Attempt At Federalizing Tort Law And Why It Failed.", Ian J. Drake
Department of Political Science and Law Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
In the 1970s, the US Congress meticulously considered the possibility of creating a federal law of torts. The federal effort began almost a decade after many state supreme courts had expanded manufacturer liability for defective products. The state-level expansion caused a reaction among state and federal legislatures. The initial federal presence took the form of investigatory efforts, but those were soon followed by legislative proposals. The federal legislative proposals occurred simultaneously with some states' efforts to enact their own products liability laws. Although the states' tort laws might present variations on a theme, the possibilities for federal intervention in the …

Developing Capabilities, Not Entrepreneurs: A New Theory For Community Economic Development, Rashmi Dyal-Chand, James V. Rowan
Developing Capabilities, Not Entrepreneurs: A New Theory For Community Economic Development, Rashmi Dyal-Chand, James V. Rowan
Hofstra Law Review
This Article presents a contemporary and compelling American context in which entrepreneurship is not a good solution. Despite the enormous potential that entrepreneurship seems to hold for community economic development, it has thus far failed as a framework for widespread and reliable local economic development and poverty alleviation. The reasons for this failure are grounded both in theory and empirical data. This Article takes up the theoretical question. It examines why entrepreneurship theory is a weak foundation for the work of community economic development practitioners. Arguing that the important work of these practitioners is best understood and measured using a …
Copyright In The Expanded Field, Xiyin Tang
Copyright In The Expanded Field, Xiyin Tang
Hofstra Law Review
Intellectual property law and the art forms it is meant to protect are expanding. In our information age, artists hoping to assert their rights frequently assert a combination of trademark, copyright, and right of publicity or moral rights claims in order to maximize their chances of success. This Article looks beyond IP law to some of its more unlikely complements — tort and property law — as a viable means of redress for artists who may be ineligible for copyright protection. Specifically, recent cases involving a specific form of hybrid art — land art, or “site specific art” — have …

Regulation, Prohibition, And Overcriminalization: The Proper And Improper Uses Of The Criminal Law, Paul J. Larkin, Jr.
Regulation, Prohibition, And Overcriminalization: The Proper And Improper Uses Of The Criminal Law, Paul J. Larkin, Jr.
Hofstra Law Review
The function of the criminal law is to effectively enforce the moral code that every person knows by heart — to enforce the minimum substantive content of the social compact by bringing the full moral authority of government to bear on violators. By contrast, the function of the regulatory system is to efficiently manage components of the national economy using civil rules, rewards, and penalties to incentivize desirable behavior without casting aspersions on violations attributable to ignorance or explanations other than defiance. Treating regulatory crimes as if they were no different than “street crimes” ignores the profound difference between the …
A Return To Coercion: International Law And New Weapon Technologies, Jeremy Rabkin, John Yoo
A Return To Coercion: International Law And New Weapon Technologies, Jeremy Rabkin, John Yoo
Hofstra Law Review
In recent years, the U.S. has threatened air strikes against Syria and insisted on the possibility of air strikes against Iran, in both cases to deter development of weapons of mass destruction. Such threats represent a return to the idea that international law allows states to impose punitive measures by force. Most academic specialists claim that the UN Charter only authorizes force in immediate self-defense. Many commentators embrace the related doctrine that lawful force can only be exercised against the opposing military force. But there remains more logic in the older view, that international law authorizes force for a wider …

The Knowledge Police, David Orozco
The Knowledge Police, David Orozco
Hofstra Law Review
This article provides an in depth analysis and critique of the Office of the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator’s (IPEC’s) efforts to date. This is an important subject since the IPEC has, under the Pro-IP Act, a mandate to serve as an effective interagency coordinator and strategic advisor to the Legislature and the President in all areas related to intellectual property enforcement. Intellectual property enforcement has risen to the highest levels of policy making, and national public discourse. As discussed in this article, the IPEC has failed to adequately coordinate the various federal agencies that have overlapping authority in this area. …
Legal Osmosis: The Role Of Brain Science In Protecting Adolescents, Cheryl B. Preston, Brandon T. Crowther
Legal Osmosis: The Role Of Brain Science In Protecting Adolescents, Cheryl B. Preston, Brandon T. Crowther
Hofstra Law Review
In the last decade, the Supreme Court relied on scientific findings presented in amicus curiae briefs filed by various medical and psychological organizations and health professionals in three juvenile justice cases, Roper v. Simmons, Graham v. Florida, and Miller v. Alabama. Theresearch showed that the structure and function of adolescent brains are distinct from those of adults, which supports the position that adolescents, as a class, are generally immature in three separate, but related, ways. First, adolescents are more likely to engage in risky behavior than adults; second, adolescents are less able to control their impulses than adults; and finally, …
