Pushing For The Injury: Tort Law's Influence In Defining The Constitutional Limitations On Punitive Damage Awards, Jill Wieber Lens Jan 2011

Pushing For The Injury: Tort Law's Influence In Defining The Constitutional Limitations On Punitive Damage Awards, Jill Wieber Lens

Hofstra Law Review

The limitations on a punitive damage award depend on the conception of punitive damages. Is it a private law remedy, limited to resolving the dispute between the parties? Or is it a public law remedy, capable of addressing public harm and achieving public good? The Supreme Court has not wavered from public law ideas of punitive damages - that the damages serve the state’s interests and are similar to criminal punishments. At the same time, the Court has focused on the actual injury to the plaintiff in its holdings and prohibited punitive damages from punishing harm to nonparties, indicating that …

Due Process Denied: Judicial Coercion In The Plea Bargaining Process, Richard Klein Jan 2004

Due Process Denied: Judicial Coercion In The Plea Bargaining Process, Richard Klein

Hofstra Law Review

Over the years, a pattern has emerged where judges routinely engage in practices that violate the constitutional rights of the defendants who come before them, and which run counter to the ethical conduct that we have a right to expect and demand from those empowered to engage in critical decisions concerning the liberty of our citizens. The Supreme Court, when it held that plea bargaining between a prosecutor and defense counsel did not violate the defendant's constitutional rights, offered a caveat: "Of course, the agents of the State may not produce a plea by actual or threatened physical harm or …

Minor Rights: The Adolescent Abortion Cases, Martin Guggenheim Jan 2002

Minor Rights: The Adolescent Abortion Cases, Martin Guggenheim

Hofstra Law Review

This article focuses on two Supreme Court decisions (Planned Parenthood v. Danforth and Bellotti v. Baird) in which the Court redefined the entire conception of children's rights. The article suggests that the Supreme Court used a construct of children's constitutional "rights" to restrict the rights of children. By doing so, the Court decisively derailed an incipient children's rights movement that had the potential to liberate children from the dominion of adults. In Danforth, the Court considered for the first time the constitutionality of a state statute that contained a mandatory parental consent provision. The Court struck down that part of …
