The Immorality Of Originalism, Jack M. Beermann Oct 2023

The Immorality Of Originalism, Jack M. Beermann

Catholic University Law Review

The central claim of this essay is that in interpreting the U.S. Constitution, it is immoral to choose original intent over social welfare, broadly conceived. Once this argument is laid out and defended on its own terms, I support the central claim with a variety of arguments, including the defective process pursuant to which the Constitution was enacted, the deeply flawed substantive content of the Constitution, the incongruity of fidelity to the views of a generation of revolutionaries, the current virtual imperviousness of the Constitution to amendment, the failure of the Constitution to resolve fundamental questions concerning the allocation of …


Defending Against Projects Of Faction: Reforming The Congressional Investigation Process, John Sullivan Oct 2023

Defending Against Projects Of Faction: Reforming The Congressional Investigation Process, John Sullivan

Catholic University Law Review

Throughout American history, the power to investigate has been one of key powers of the U.S. Congress. This power, shaped by the Congress itself and the courts, has evolved into a critical tool used to hold parties accountable and to promote effective legislation for the American people. Yet as much as it can be used to further the interests of all Americans, so too can it be used to further a party’s own political agenda. Today, the congressional investigation process has become overly-politicized, misused for fundraising purposes, and overseen by members of Congress who are not investigators by trade.

As …


Unreimbursed Medical Expense Tax Deductions In Light Of Per-And Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, Tyler Young Oct 2023

Unreimbursed Medical Expense Tax Deductions In Light Of Per-And Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, Tyler Young

Catholic University Law Review

Per– and Ployfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) have been used in a wide variety

of products due to their ability to reduce friction. However, studies have shown

that exposure to PFAS can cause harmful effects in humans. In fact, it has been

called a “national emergency” in testimony before Congress. As a result, there

have been efforts to limit exposure to the disease-causing substances through

abatement and avoidance. The Internal Revenue Code, through the

unreimbursed medical expense tax deduction of I.R.C. § 213, may offer one

policy solution for individuals seeking to participate in abatement activities.

This comment explores the development and …


Keeping Fair Chance Laws Fair: Implications For Employers And Employees Given The Expansion And Variety Of Fair Chance Laws In The United States, Caitlin T. Gaines Oct 2023

Keeping Fair Chance Laws Fair: Implications For Employers And Employees Given The Expansion And Variety Of Fair Chance Laws In The United States, Caitlin T. Gaines

Catholic University Law Review

Jurisdictions around the United States have adopted, and are considering adopting, fair chance laws, also known as “ban the box” laws, to improve access to employment opportunities for those with criminal histories. For years, individuals with criminal records – approximately one in four U.S. adults – have been disadvantaged when employers heavily rely upon criminal background checks during the hiring process. Now, with the proliferation of fair chance laws which require employers to avoid considering criminal history in hiring decisions, public and private employers are faced with implementation concerns as they adapt their hiring practices to ensure compliance with the …


Press Freedom Under Threat In Europe: Slapps And Democracy, Maya Oleary-Cyr Oct 2023

Press Freedom Under Threat In Europe: Slapps And Democracy, Maya Oleary-Cyr

Claremont-UC Undergraduate Research Conference on the European Union

This paper critically examines the legal systems of European countries and their relationship to press freedom, particularly the vexatious legal threats used by government officials and corporations to silence journalists. These legal threats are known as SLAPPs (strategic lawsuits against public participation) and their use has increased exponentially in the last decade. Although the issue is global, this research analyzes the issue through the lens of Greece, Italy, and Hungary. As member states, each one of these countries has an obligation to uphold the democratic standards put forth by the EU. Journalists are a vital aspect of the democratic process …

America’S Two Pastimes: Baseball And Constitutional Law; Review Of Adrian Vermeule, Common Good Constitutionalism, Paul J. Larkin Oct 2023

America’S Two Pastimes: Baseball And Constitutional Law; Review Of Adrian Vermeule, Common Good Constitutionalism, Paul J. Larkin

Catholic University Law Review

For the last 50 years, the two prevailing constitutional interpretation methodologies have been Originalism and Living Constitutionalism. The former treats the Constitution almost like a contract and demands that interpreters focus on the ordinary contemporary understanding its terms would have received when they became law. The latter treats the Constitution as a charter for the structure of a new government that would survive and mature as needed to protect both the nation and its people as new threats to government and civil liberties arise. Professor Adrian Vermeule’s book Common Good Constitutionalism offers a new approach to constitutional interpretation, one that …


Symposium On A Pluralist Theory Of Constitutional Justice, Floersheimer Center For Constitutional Democracy Oct 2023

Symposium On A Pluralist Theory Of Constitutional Justice, Floersheimer Center For Constitutional Democracy

2023 Event Invitations

Illiberalism and populism challenge liberal constitutionalism and its nexus to distributive justice in its three dimensions of material welfare, identitarian recognition and democratic representation. A Pluralist Theory of Constitutional Justice by University Professor Michel Rosenfeld (Oxford University Press 2022) develops a pluralist approach leading to the “justice essentials” designed to meet the above challenge and to reinvigorate liberal constitutionalism.

Island States Turn To The Law To Fight Climate Change, Adam Auerbach Oct 2023

Island States Turn To The Law To Fight Climate Change, Adam Auerbach

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review (CICLR) Blog

The sea is rising. 2023 has seen the highest annual average sea level in recorded history, with sea level measuring four inches above 1993 levels. To many, this may seem inconsequential. However, for those in developing countries, particularly small island nations, rising sea levels present a very real, very pressing threat. For these island countries, the danger of losing their statehood and sovereignty is all too real “as their land surface may be totally covered by the sea or become fully inhabitable” in the near future.

This post was originally published on the Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review on …


Religious Reformation And The Law Of Unnatural Death In England, Trayce Hockstad Oct 2023

Religious Reformation And The Law Of Unnatural Death In England, Trayce Hockstad

Nebraska Law Bulletin (Selected Issues)

This comment was written as a supplement to a previous article, The Wrong, the Wronged, and the Wrongfully Dead: Deodand Law as a Practice of Absolution, 101 Neb. L. Rev. 731, (2023).

The men and women of Tudor England were, by and large, pragmatists. Grumbling, they sold off as much of their Catholic past as they could not hide or keep, and called in the carpenters to set boards on trestles and fix the forms round the communion tables.

Berman wrote that an essential element of each of the great revolutions that shaped the Western legal tradition was an apocalyptic …

Brief Of Amicus Curiae Notre Dame Law School Religious Liberty Clinic In Support Of Plaintiffs' Motion For Summary Judgment, Casey M. Nokes, Meredith Kessler Oct 2023

Brief Of Amicus Curiae Notre Dame Law School Religious Liberty Clinic In Support Of Plaintiffs' Motion For Summary Judgment, Casey M. Nokes, Meredith Kessler

Court Briefs

No. 1:22-cv-00156-CL
St. Timothy's Episcopal Church v. City of Brookings

From the Argument

Congress unanimously enacted the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA) to provide sweeping protection for religious exercise against discrimination in land-use regulation. To accomplish this goal, the statute generally prohibits the government from implementing land-use regulations in a manner that imposes a substantial burden on the religious exercise of a person or organization. And several provisions—including the statute’s capacious definition of “religious exercise” and its broad-construction mandate—emphasize the statute’s breadth.

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

The outer space territory and celestial bodies are unfathomably rich in strategic mineral resources worth trillions of dollars such as water ice, helium-3, platinum, iron, cobalt, and ammonia. These space resources, distinct from their space territorial and celestial bodies loci, need to be located, characterized, captured, processed, concentrated, and transported to points of use in-situ or on Earth by capable state and private space investors, stakeholders, or national agencies, for private benefits. Investors in this embryonic space mining industry need legal certainty and predictability under unambiguous legal and policy frameworks that guarantee property interests over extracted minerals. The Problem is …
