Putting A Slam On Alcohol Violators Through Dram- How The State Of Ohio Can Improve The Day-To-Day Safety Of Its Residents Through Dram Laws, Steven Iwanek
Honors Projects
In the realm of legal frameworks governing the service and consumption of alcohol, Dram Shop Liability Laws play a pivotal role in holding establishments accountable for the consequences of alcohol-related incidents. These laws, known as dram laws, vary across states, delineating the responsibilities of alcohol servers and establishments in preventing the overconsumption of alcohol and the resultant harm. This examination delves into a comprehensive background of dram laws, particularly focusing on their historical evolution, their present implications, and the imperative need for refinement.
As societal dynamics and patterns of alcohol consumption evolve, so too must the legislative mechanisms designed to …
The Use Of Oral Fluid Samples To Test For Driving Under The Influence Of Marijuana, Ian Wise
The Use Of Oral Fluid Samples To Test For Driving Under The Influence Of Marijuana, Ian Wise
Georgia Criminal Law Review
Driving Under the Influence of Drugs (DUID) cases pose unique challenges to the criminal justice system. An evidentiary chemical test is a vital piece of evidence in a DUID prosecution because unlike alcohol, drugs do not cause impairment in a uniform fashion. Breath tests cannot detect drugs, and the intrusiveness of blood and urine tests has been the focus of Court cases over the past half-century with decisions in Missouri v. McNeely and Birchfield v. North Dakota curtailing the government’s ability to obtain this evidence without a warrant.
The need for a less intrusive alternative is driven by the doubling …
Mandatory Sentences As Strict Liability, William W. Berry Iii
Mandatory Sentences As Strict Liability, William W. Berry Iii
Washington and Lee Law Review
Strict liability crimes—crimes that do not require a criminal intent—are outliers in the world of criminal law. Disregarding criminal intent risks treating the blameworthy the same as the blameless.
In a different galaxy far, far away, mandatory sentences—sentences automatically imposed upon a criminal conviction—are unconstitutional in certain contexts for the exact same reason. Mandatory death sentences risk treating those who do not deserve death the same as those that might.
Two completely separate contexts, two parallel rules of law. Yet courts and commentators have failed to see the similarities between these two worlds, leaving an analytical black hole. Indeed, equity …
Is There A Georgia Supreme Court, Problem? Analyzing The Georgia Supreme Court’S New Peculiar Approach Towards Breathalyzers And Implied Consent Law, Brian Fussell Jr.
Is There A Georgia Supreme Court, Problem? Analyzing The Georgia Supreme Court’S New Peculiar Approach Towards Breathalyzers And Implied Consent Law, Brian Fussell Jr.
Mercer Law Review
Alcohol and criminal behavior often accompany each other as anyone with any experience with the justice system (or intoxicated people in general) can attest to. A significant percentage of the population would probably say their worst decisions and mistakes came about while under the influence of booze or other intoxicants, and crime statistics would back this up. Alcohol-related crime statistics in the United States compiled by AlcoRehab show around 500,000 cases of alcohol related violence every year and also demonstrate that an incredible 86% of homicides and 60% of sexual abuse or rape cases were committed under the influence of …

Sb 1 - C.J.'S Law, Michael C. Duffey, Stephen Swanson
Georgia State University Law Review
The Act primarily functions to increase the penalty for drivers who cause death or serious bodily injury as a result of a vehicular accident and then flee the scene. Also known as C.J.’s Law, the Act establishes a maximum prison sentence of ten years for such a hit-and-run violation. In addition, the Act rewords and clarifies existing statutory language regarding license suspensions subsequent to reckless driving or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The Beginning Of The Next Bac Revolution?, Ginny Hogan
The Beginning Of The Next Bac Revolution?, Ginny Hogan
SLU Law Journal Online
In 1983, Utah led the charge in drunk-driving enforcement, lowering its legal BAC from 0.10 to 0.08. Now the Beehive State has once again lowed legal BAC limits. Ginny Hogan discusses whether this is the start of another BAC revolution.
Drunk Driving, Blood, And Breath: The Impact Of Birchfield V. North Dakota, Simon Bord
Drunk Driving, Blood, And Breath: The Impact Of Birchfield V. North Dakota, Simon Bord
Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy
Birchfield v. North Dakota is a landmark decision that will influence criminal procedure jurisprudence for years to come. Birchfield drew a distinction between the level of intrusiveness inherent in a breath test versus a blood test, upholding warrantless searches incident to a DUI arrest involving the former, but not the latter. In addition, the Court ruled that criminal penalties for refusing to consent to a blood draw were unconstitutional, but such penalties were an acceptable punishment for motorists who refused to undergo a breath test. Because Birchfield failed to establish a clear rule regarding the permissible scope of implied consent …

Potholes: Dui Law In The Budding Marijuana Industry, Zack G. Goldberg
Potholes: Dui Law In The Budding Marijuana Industry, Zack G. Goldberg
Brooklyn Law Review
The rapid legalization of marijuana across the United States has produced a number of novel legal issues. One of the most confounding issues is that presented by the marijuana-impaired driver. In jurisdictions that have legalized the use of marijuana, how high is too high to get behind the wheel? This note assesses the various marijuana DUI laws that states have implemented to combat marijuana-impaired driving. Many of these statutes have followed in the footsteps of the BAC-based standard used to combat drunk driving—using THC measurements to quantify a driver’s level of marijuana-based impairment. Unfortunately, unlike alcohol, the scientific properties of …

Imposing Punitive Damage Liabiliity On The Intoxicated Driver, Martin A. Kotler
Imposing Punitive Damage Liabiliity On The Intoxicated Driver, Martin A. Kotler
Akron Law Review
It is important to keep in mind throughout this discussion that awareness and acknowledgement of the existence of a problem, even a very serious problem, should not make us overreact and thereby accept an unworkable solution in our zeal to do something. The imposition of punitive damages is, for the most part, just such an unworkable solution. More specifically, I will attempt to demonstrate that, with the possible exception of the case of the recidivist, non-alcoholic defendant, the imposition of punitive damages simply cannot be justified. That being the case, we must look elsewhere for a solution to an admittedly …
Seizure By Roadblock: Decisional Law On The Constitutionality Of Drunk Driving Roadblocks, Scott Freed
Seizure By Roadblock: Decisional Law On The Constitutionality Of Drunk Driving Roadblocks, Scott Freed
Akron Law Review
This comment will examine decisions addressing the constitutionality of roadblock stops. First, it will examine Delaware v. Prouse and other Supreme Court decisions which have developed what is referred to as the neutral criteria standard for judging the reasonableness of temporary automobile seizures at roadblock-type stops. Under the neutral criteria standard, law enforcement officers may conduct suspicionless seizures of vehicles at roadblocks for certain specific purposes. The neutral criteria standard requires that the seizure be carried out pursuant to a plan embodying explicit, neutral limitations on the conduct of individual officers. Second, the comment will examine decisions which have found …
Ohio's Administrative License Suspension: A Double Jeopardy And Due Process Analysis, Max Kravitz
Ohio's Administrative License Suspension: A Double Jeopardy And Due Process Analysis, Max Kravitz
Akron Law Review
This Article examines whether Ohio's imposition of an administrative license suspension "ALS" immediately upon arrest for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol "OMVI" bars a subsequent prosecution for the substantive offense.' Traditionally, administrative license suspensions have been considered civil, administrative and primarily remedial. However, increasingly punitive amendments to Ohio's ALS statutory scheme raise the substantial question of whether an ALS is truly remedial, or whether the imposition of an ALS constitutes punishment triggering double jeopardy and due process protection.
Ending Drunk Driving With A Flash Of Light, Andrew Sullivan
Ending Drunk Driving With A Flash Of Light, Andrew Sullivan
Law Student Publications
Among the methods used to combat drunk driving is mandating a person convicted of driving under the influence/driving while intoxicated install an ignition interlock device (“IID”) in his/her vehicle as a condition of restoring his/her driving privileges.This comment argues that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) has the authority to issue such a regulation; it need only be presented with a workable opportunity to do so. The present state of IID technology is a poor candidate to make this hypothetical regulation workable, but advances in Near Infrared (“near-IR”) Spectroscopy will provide the technology necessary to make a discussion of …
Ending Drunk Driving With A Flash Of Light, Andrew Sullivan
Ending Drunk Driving With A Flash Of Light, Andrew Sullivan
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Drunk driving exacts an enormous toll on our society. Every year, alcohol-driven crashes kill over ten thousand people, injure hundreds of thousands more, and cost the national economy tens of billions of dollars. States largely have been left to combat this problem through their own criminal regimes. Among the methods used to combat drunk driving is mandating a person convicted of driving under the influence/driving while intoxicated3 install an ignition interlock device (“IID”) in her vehicle as a condition of restoring her driving privileges.

Closing The Door On The Public Policy Exception To At- Will Employment: How The Washington State Supreme Court Erroneously Foreclosed Wrongful Discharge Claims For Whistleblowers In Cudney V. Alsco, Inc., Laura A. Turczanski
Seattle University Law Review
In 2008, Matthew Cudney was terminated from his employment with ALSCO, Inc. a few weeks after reporting to his supervisor and human resources manager that he observed the branch general manager appearing intoxicated at work and driving away in a company vehicle. Cudney brought an action for wrongful discharge in violation of public policy, claiming that he was terminated in retaliation for reporting the manager’s drinking and driving. In a 5–4 decision, the Washington Supreme Court held that Cudney’s tort claim of wrongful discharge in violation of public policy could not proceed. This Note contends that the Cudney court erred …
Marijuana Impaired Driving: Proposed Updates To California Vehicle Code Sections 13353.2, 23152 & 23153, B. Otis Felder Esq.
Marijuana Impaired Driving: Proposed Updates To California Vehicle Code Sections 13353.2, 23152 & 23153, B. Otis Felder Esq.
B. Otis Felder Esq.
The article discusses the current problems in prosecuting driving under the influence of marijuana and the evolution of the paradigm in prosecuting driving under the influence of alcohol. To deter those who use marijuana from driving impaired, the article proposes that Sections 23152 and 23153 of California’s Vehicle Code, which govern driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, should be updated to set an objective limit. Whether a per se limit or an inference is implemented, the article also proposes that Vehicle Code Section 13343.2 be amended so as to authorize the California Department of Motor Vehicles to be …
Have You Been Drinking Tonight Ms. Prynne - Ohio's Scarlet Letter For Ovi/Dui Offenders: A Violation Of First Amendment Protection Against Compelled Speech, William Livingston
Have You Been Drinking Tonight Ms. Prynne - Ohio's Scarlet Letter For Ovi/Dui Offenders: A Violation Of First Amendment Protection Against Compelled Speech, William Livingston
Cleveland State Law Review
This note examines the history of scarlet letter punishments. These types of sanctions raise many constitutional concerns; this Note will specifically address First Amendment compelled speech. Different standards of constitutional review for First Amendment violations and probation conditions will also be discussed. The note will also explain how Ohio's special license plate violates the First Amendment. Because the license plate is a legislative requirement that infringes upon free speech and eliminates judicial sentencing discretion, the state's interest must pass strict scrutiny. This analysis will confirm that the state's interest is legitimate but not compelling. The special license plate fails to …

Faculty Scholarship
This Article explores the use of implied consent laws as a method of deterring and punishing alcohol-impaired driving. Part I introduces the history and purpose of implied consent laws. Part II discusses the inadequacies of current statutory implied consent provisions and their failure to effectively attain their designed purpose. This section also highlights two particularly detrimental aspects of the law as currently implemented: (1) the lack of uniformity in the application of the laws by individual states; and (2) the disparate treatment of persons who refuse to submit to BAC testing, both in terms of consequences of refusal to submit …

This Article explores different ways to effectively discourage the crime of alcohol impaired driving. Part I analyzes the trend of utilizing preventive educational measures to counteract societal acceptance of this crime and the shortcomings of relying exclusively on this measure. Part II discusses OUI prevention based on deterrence and the use of stricter penalties, such as mandatory jail sentences, to stop alcohol impaired drivers. This section explores whether the trend of increasing the severity of the punishment for OUI offenses is effective in stopping the crime. This section also discusses the shortcomings of OUI legislation that make deterrence of OUI …

Georgia State University Law Review
The Act amends several Code sections to correct inconsistencies in Georgia's DUI and drivers' license revocation laws. More importantly, it alters some provisions that were created in the 1999 Act, known as Heidi's Law, regarding the use of an automobile ignition interlock device (IID). The Act allows a concurrent running of license revocation and the administrative suspension period for individuals under twenty-one years of age. Additionally, the Act increases the mandatory suspension of a driver's license to ten months for a person convicted of two DUIs within five years and eliminates the limited driving permits that were previously available to …
