Five Views Of Federalism: "Converse-1983" In Context, Akhil R. Amar
Five Views Of Federalism: "Converse-1983" In Context, Akhil R. Amar
Vanderbilt Law Review
In 1987, I published an overly long article in the Yale Law Journal entitled Of Sovereignty and Federalism. In it, I advanced a "converse-1983" model of federalism-a model that highlighted the ways in which state laws can provide remedies when federal officials violate federal constitutional rights.

The Public Interest And The Unconstitutionality Of Private Prosecutors, John Bessler
All Faculty Scholarship
This article discusses the history of private and public prosecution in the United States, including standards governing prosecutorial ethics. It argues that the use of private prosecutors is unethical and violative of defendants' constitutional rights. In particular, the article asserts that the use of such prosecutors violates due process principles and creates, at the very least, an unacceptable appearance of impropriety. The article contends that the public's interest in not having its members erroneously charged or convicted in the criminal process outweighs an interested party's right to retain a private prosecutor as set forth in some state laws. In addition …
