Workers' Compensation, H. Michael Bagley, J. Benson Ward

Mercer Law Review

The 2016-2017 survey period was relatively quiet for workers' compensation developments, but the workers' compensation system was nonetheless impacted by appellate decisions during this period. Such decisions involve issues ranging from statutes of limitations to willful misconduct, including two decisions from the Georgia Supreme Court reversing cases featured in last year's survey.


Orwell's 1984 And A Fourth Amendment Cybersurveillance Nonintrusion Test, Margaret Hu Dec 2017

Orwell's 1984 And A Fourth Amendment Cybersurveillance Nonintrusion Test, Margaret Hu

Washington Law Review

This Article describes a cybersurveillance nonintrusion test under the Fourth Amendment that is grounded in evolving customary law to replace the reasonable expectation of privacy test formulated in Katz v. United States. To illustrate how customary law norms are shaping modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence, this Article examines the recurrence of judicial references to George Orwell’s novel, 1984, within the Fourth Amendment context when federal courts have assessed the constitutionality of modern surveillance methods. The Supreme Court has indicated that the Fourth Amendment privacy doctrine must now evolve to impose meaningful limitations on the intrusiveness of new surveillance technologies. …

The Fda's Guidance On Dietary Supplement Naming And The Emperor's New Clothes, Neal D. Fortin Dec 2017

The Fda's Guidance On Dietary Supplement Naming And The Emperor's New Clothes, Neal D. Fortin

Journal of Food Law & Policy

In 2016 the FDA revised the agency’s guidance on dietary supplement labeling. This modification permits the term “dietary supplement” be the entire statement of identity for a dietary supplement. This is an error in the interpretation of the plain language of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the plain language of 21 C.F.R. § 101.3(g); and does not comport with numerous rules of statutory interpretation. Moreover, this change violates the Administrative Procedures Act and the FDA’s rules on notice and comment. This change is a disguised rescission of 21 C.F.R. § 101.3(g) without a proper opportunity for the public to …

Varying Instructional Approaches To Physical Extraction Of Mobile Device Memory, Joan Runs Through, Gary D. Cantrell

Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law

Digital forensics is a multidisciplinary field encompassing both computer science and criminal justice. This action research compared demonstrated skill levels of university students enrolled in a semester course in small device forensics with 54 hours of instruction in mobile forensics with an emphasis on physical techniques such as JTAG and Chip-Off extraction against the skill levels of industry professionals who have completed an accelerated 40 hour advanced mobile forensics training covering much of the same material to include JTAG and Chip-Off extraction. Participant backgrounds were also examined to determine if those participants with a background in computer science had an …


Digital Forensic Readiness In Organizations: Issues And Challenges, Nickson Menza Karie, Simon Maina Karume Dr. Dec 2017

Digital Forensic Readiness In Organizations: Issues And Challenges, Nickson Menza Karie, Simon Maina Karume Dr.

Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law

With the evolution in digital technologies, organizations have been forced to change the way they plan, develop, and enact their information technology strategies. This is because modern digital technologies do not only present new opportunities to business organizations but also a different set of issues and challenges that need to be resolved. With the rising threats of cybercrimes, for example, which have been accelerated by the emergence of new digital technologies, many organizations as well as law enforcement agencies globally are now erecting proactive measures as a way to increase their ability to respond to security incidents as well as …


Broadband Router Security: History, Challenges And Future Implications, Patryk Szewczyk, Rose Macdonald Dec 2017

Broadband Router Security: History, Challenges And Future Implications, Patryk Szewczyk, Rose Macdonald

Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law

Consumer grade broadband routers are integral to accessing the Internet and are primarily responsible for the reliable routing of data between networks. Despite the importance of broadband routers, security has never been at the forefront of their evolution. Consumers are often in possession of broadband routers that are rich in consumer-orientated features yet riddled with vulnerabilities that make the routers susceptible to exploitation. This amalgamation of theoretical research examines consumer grade broadband routers from the perspective of how they evolved, what makes them vulnerable, how they are targeted and the challenges concerning the application of security. The research further explores …

Droning On: The State And Federal Legal Response To The Deregulation Of U.S. Airspace For Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Lisa K. Decker

Journal of Criminal Justice and Law

With the 2012 congressional mandate that the Federal Aviation Administration promulgate rules allowing the use of small unmanned aircraft systems (commonly called drones) in U.S. airspace, many have expressed concerns about potential invasions of privacy by both private citizens and law enforcement agencies. This article provides a survey of the state and federal case law and legislative responses to such concerns through August of 2016, with a detailed focus on legislative enactments creating crimes related to civilian drone use and regulating the law enforcement use of drones to collect evidence in criminal investigations. The article also analyzes and attempts to …

Transparency Behind Bars: A History Of Kansas Jail Inspections, Current Practices, And Possible Reform, Melanie K. Worsely, Amy Memmer

Journal of Criminal Justice and Law

Accountability in the corrections system is essential to protecting the well-being and safety of inmates. To provide a better understanding of the methods of ensuring the humane treatment of inmates, this article traces the history of Kansas’s jail inspection policy, beginning with passage of the state’s 1973 jail inspection statute. An examination of the legislative history of Kansas’s inspection statute and jail inspection reports, in addition to oral history interviews with corrections officials, reveals that the statute was effective in providing accountability and producing measurable improvements in jail conditions. The history of Kansas’s jail inspection statute, including its repeal in …


Grand Juries And Cases Of Police Use Of Deadly Force: Are Prosecutors Opening A Closed Door?, Joseph P. Conti Dec 2017

Grand Juries And Cases Of Police Use Of Deadly Force: Are Prosecutors Opening A Closed Door?, Joseph P. Conti

Journal of Criminal Justice and Law

In recent years, considerable national attention has been focused upon cases in which police officers used deadly force that resulted in the death of private citizens. The officers often contended that the use of deadly force was justified under the circumstances. Prosecutors then presented these cases to grand juries to determine whether criminal prosecutions were warranted. Some prosecutors have elected to provide full grand jury reviews that include the presentation of exculpatory evidence or at least evidence favorable to the police. Although prosecutors have no constitutional obligation to provide such reviews, those who elect to provide full grand jury reviews …


County Judges And Cosmetologists: A Preliminary Inquiry Into “Constitutional” County Courts, Larry Karson Dec 2017

County Judges And Cosmetologists: A Preliminary Inquiry Into “Constitutional” County Courts, Larry Karson

Journal of Criminal Justice and Law

Since at least the days of Prohibition there has been a discussion regarding the professionalism of the individuals involved in the American criminal justice system. From the police officers being required to have some college education along with months of academy training in the law and procedures of the justice system to attorneys being mandated, after college, to complete a 3 year program of formalized academic training in the law and passing a state administered exam of competence, the requirements that determined competency have increased as society and the law have become more complex.

Federalism And Constitutional Criminal Law, Brenner M. Fissell Dec 2017

Federalism And Constitutional Criminal Law, Brenner M. Fissell

Hofstra Law Review

A vast body of constitutional law regulates the way that police investigate crimes and the way that criminal cases are handled at trial. The Supreme Court has imposed far fewer rules regarding what can be a crime in the first place, how it must be defined, and how much it can be punished. What explains this one-sided favoring of “procedure” over “substance?” This Article aims to unearth and assess the justification that the Court itself most often uses when it refuses to place constitutional limits on substantive criminal law: federalism. While the Court often invokes the concept to rationalize its …


Legal Barriers And Disincentives To Self-Sufficient Disaster Preparation In The United States, Haley Palfreyman Jankowski Dec 2017

Legal Barriers And Disincentives To Self-Sufficient Disaster Preparation In The United States, Haley Palfreyman Jankowski

Hofstra Law Review

In the wake of Hurricane Harvey and a slew of other natural disasters affecting the United States, all Americans cannot help thinking about effective damage control for current and future disasters. I grew up in Houston, Texas where we went through countless hurricanes, torrential rainstorms, and the resulting power outages, and after surviving each one, we inevitably thought: What can we do to prepare better for the next one? Preparing to be self-sufficient in the aftermath of a life-changing disaster should be a top priority not just for individuals but for the government as well. After all, the more prepared …
