The Online Criminal Trial As A Public Trial, Stephen Smith
The Online Criminal Trial As A Public Trial, Stephen Smith
Faculty Publications
There are two ways of favorably conceiving online trials in Sixth Amendment terms. One is that an online trial is a public trial, by its terms. The other is that an online trial may not be public, for Sixth Amendment purposes, but may nonetheless satisfy applicable constitutional demands for trials considered “closed.” This Essay proposes both: that an online trial is fundamentally “public” for Sixth Amendment purposes and, if it is not, it may still be a constitutional accommodation of the Sixth Amendment’s public trial guarantee, in appropriate circumstances.
The constitutionality of an online trial may be largely an idle …

Fear, Loathing, And The Hemispheric Consequences Of Xenophobic Hate, Ernesto Sagás, Ediberto Román

Out Of Reach: The Mdlea’S Impermissible Extraterritorial Reach On Maritime Drug–Traffickers, Andres Chinchilla
Out Of Reach: The Mdlea’S Impermissible Extraterritorial Reach On Maritime Drug–Traffickers, Andres Chinchilla
University of Miami Inter-American Law Review
46 U.S.C. § 70503, known as the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act (MDLEA), prohibits individuals on board covered vessels from manufacturing, distributing, or possessing with an intent to distribute or manufacture, a controlled substance. The statute, as enacted, permits the prosecution of individuals arrested beyond U.S. jurisdiction and even within the territorial seas of other States. This provision is argued to be an impermissible extraterritorial reach absent a nexus requirement—showing a connection between the drug smuggling activity and the U.S. Recently, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals held the statute’s extraterritorial reach and lack of nexus requirement as unconstitutional under …
Blackwater Rising: The Legal Issues Raised By The Unprecedented Privatization Of U.S. Military Functions, Robert D. Peltz
Blackwater Rising: The Legal Issues Raised By The Unprecedented Privatization Of U.S. Military Functions, Robert D. Peltz
University of Miami Law Review
The Army has used civilian contractors to provide supplies and services to its forces in the field since the Revolutionary War. These early contractors fed the cavalry’s horses and transported supplies. Over the years, the role of the civilian contractor has dramatically evolved. Following the Vietnam War and the end of the draft, there has been an ever-increasing privatization of functions previously performed by the military.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which began in response to the September 11 attacks and have only recently started to come to a formal end, have significantly accelerated this process. As a result, …
Peraturan Mahkamah Agung Republik Indonesia Nomor 13 Tahun 2016 Tentang Tata Cara Penanganan Perkara Tindak Pidana Oleh Korporasi; Solusi Sementara Upaya Meminta Pertanggungjawaban Pidana Korporasi, Wahyu Prestianto
"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI
The desire of the community so that corporations in Indonesia can be held liable today seems to have been granted with the imposition of crimes against several corporations in Indonesia. This was realized with the issuance of the Indonesian Supreme Court Regulation No. 13 of 2016 concerning Procedures for Handling Criminal Acts by Corporations that is said have filled the vacuum of Indonesian criminal procedure law, which had been said to be an inhibiting factor in corporate action by law enforcement officials. It is important to discuss what are the obstacles to the prosecution process of the corporation and whether …
Police Or Pirates? Reforming Washington's Civil Asset Forfeiture System, Jasmin Chigbrow
Police Or Pirates? Reforming Washington's Civil Asset Forfeiture System, Jasmin Chigbrow
Washington Law Review
Civil asset forfeiture laws permit police officers to seize property they suspect is connected to criminal activity and sell or retain the property for the police department’s use. In many states, including Washington, civil forfeiture occurs independent of any criminal case—many property owners are never charged with the offense police allege occurred. Because the government is not required to file criminal charges, property owners facing civil forfeiture lack the constitutional safeguards normally guaranteed to defendants in the criminal justice system: the right to an attorney, the presumption of innocence, the government’s burden to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, …
How The Gun Control Act Disarms Black Firearm Owners, Maya Itah
How The Gun Control Act Disarms Black Firearm Owners, Maya Itah
Washington Law Review
Through 18 U.S.C. § 924(c), the Gun Control Act (GCA) outlaws the possession of a firearm “in furtherance of” a drug trafficking crime. The statute’s language is broad, and federal courts have interpreted it expansively. By giving prosecutors wide discretion in charging individuals with § 924(c) violations, the language enables the disproportionate incarceration of Black firearm owners.
This Comment addresses this issue in three parts. Part I discusses the ways early gun control laws overtly disarmed Black firearm owners. Additionally, Part I provides context for the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968, which coincided with the backlash to …

Juvenile Justice: How The Theory Of Rehabilitation Influences Procedural Protections And Punishment In Juvenile And Criminal Courts, Cydney Carter
Juvenile Justice: How The Theory Of Rehabilitation Influences Procedural Protections And Punishment In Juvenile And Criminal Courts, Cydney Carter
Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive
There is a general consensus that when children are accused of committing criminal offenses, the main goal is rehabilitation. In order to achieve this goal, separate juvenile courts have been created with different punishments and procedures. However, children can still be tried in criminal court. This paper compares the procedural protections and punishments used in juvenile and criminal courts and analyzes how both court systems have failed to adequately rehabilitate juvenile offenders. It also looks abroad at international standards and other countries' juvenile reform efforts for inspiration on how to reform juvenile justice in the United States to better achieve …

Informed Consent: Disclosure Of The Presentence Investigation Report Before A Guilty Plea, George D. Bell
Informed Consent: Disclosure Of The Presentence Investigation Report Before A Guilty Plea, George D. Bell
University of Miami Law Review
The Constitution bestows upon all accused persons the right to a trial by jury, the right to confront accusers, the right to remain silent, and the right to be presumed innocent. The law requires waiver of these rights to be done voluntarily, with the fullest possible knowledge of material consequences. Punishment is possibly the most material consequence of a guilty plea, yet criminal defendants who pleaded guilty are forced to relinquish their rights before punishment is determined. Our jurisprudence of due process prohibits this kind of practice, but it is routine in Federal court. For a guilty plea to comport …
Talking Back In Court, M. Eve Hanan
Talking Back In Court, M. Eve Hanan
Washington Law Review
People charged with crimes often speak directly to the judge presiding over their case. Yet, what can be seen in courtrooms across the U.S. is that defendants rarely “talk back” in court, meaning that they rarely challenge authority’s view of the law, the crime, the defendant, the court’s procedure, or the fairness of the proposed sentence.
With few exceptions, legal scholars have treated the occasions when defendants speak directly to the court as a problem to be solved by appointing more lawyers and better lawyers. While effective representation is crucial, this Article starts from the premise that defendants have important …

Caring Against The Carceral: How Families Mediate The Social Death Of Incarceration, Jessica Claire
Caring Against The Carceral: How Families Mediate The Social Death Of Incarceration, Jessica Claire
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Incarceration, especially in the United States, is deeply related to issues of racism, poverty, and citizenship. These particular experiences are the result of a history of biopolitical control affecting Black and brown communities and have a quintessential origin in enslavement. Those who are incarcerated are isolated, dishonored, and powerless as a result of the criminalization of race and poverty. These observations led to questions surrounding the particular impact families may have on the experiences of those who are incarcerated. Families of Incarcerated Loved ones, or FOILs, mediate incarceration through intentional socialization which has the potential to counteract the realities of …

Public Job Ethics And Their Effects On Federal Penal Law Of United Arab Emirates, Prof. Dr. Hisham Mohammed Rustom
UAEU Law Journal
In the preface, the author tackled a number of research matters closely related to his subject, which he later put under four parts:
In part I, he defined the duties of job function performance and facing any deficiencies thereto criminally since federal penal law forbade employees from leaving their work locations or deliberately reject to handle any of its functions considering it as an independent deliberate crime. Its scope covers all public employees as more particularly defined under article five of Penal Law, but does not cover those assigned public service for they are not specifically mentioned.
In part II, …

Provisions Of The Penalty Of Community Service In The Algerian And The French Legal Systems: A Comparative Study, M’Hamedi Bouzina Amina
Provisions Of The Penalty Of Community Service In The Algerian And The French Legal Systems: A Comparative Study, M’Hamedi Bouzina Amina
UAEU Law Journal
The penalty of community service is a new system put in place of alternative penalties for short-term sentences. Some countries have adopted it as pilot program in order to find the most effective ways to rehabilitate the offenders and ensure that they don’t return to committing crimes. Contemporary legislation, including the French, which adopted this system of community service under Law No. 09/01, the French legislator tried to develop a semi-integrated system in the framework of the punishment, which is one of the best models that have been successful in the application of the penalty of community service to rehabilitate …

Fake News & International Criminal Law, Sara L. Ochs
Fake News & International Criminal Law, Sara L. Ochs
Saint Louis University Law Journal
In a decade defined by fake news, nations have weaponized disinformation to attack political, legal, and social systems throughout the world. Specifically, in recent years, government leaders have spread fake news about the International Criminal Court (“ICC”) in efforts to turn public opinion against the ICC and deter its attempts to investigate and prosecute controversial cases. Given the ICC’s reliance on state party cooperation, not only does this use of fake news hamper the Court’s likelihood of successfully prosecuting crimes that are of most concern to the international community, but it also promotes a version of history that denies victims …

Preserving Due Process: Require The Frye And Daubert Expert Standards In State Gang Cases, Fareed Nassor Hayat
Preserving Due Process: Require The Frye And Daubert Expert Standards In State Gang Cases, Fareed Nassor Hayat
New Mexico Law Review
Police officers are almost universally offered and admitted as experts in gang prosecutions. Without being subjected to the stringent requirements of Frye and Daubert expert standards, criminal Defendants’ due process rights are violated. Once admitted, police officers are permitted to testify to the psychology, customs, motivations, social structures and subjective mental states of individual gang members and gang organizations. Police gang expert testimony should only be admitted after the underlying criminal matter has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and even then, only if the police gang expert testimony abides by clearly defined rules of evidence. This article advocates for …
