On The Evasion Of Executive Term Limits, Tom Ginsburg, Zachary Elkins, James Melton Jan 2011

On The Evasion Of Executive Term Limits, Tom Ginsburg, Zachary Elkins, James Melton

Articles

Executive term limits are precommitments through which the polity restricts its ability to retain a popular executive down the road. But in recent years, many presidents around the world have chosen to remain in office even after their initial maximum term in office has expired. They have largely done so by amending the constitution, sometimes by replacing it entirely. The practice of revising higher law for the sake of a particular incumbent raises intriguing issues that touch ultimately on the normative justification for term limits in the first place. This Article reviews the normative debate over term limits and identifies …

Normative Foundations For Reasonable Expectations Of Privacy, Hamish Stewart Jan 2011

Normative Foundations For Reasonable Expectations Of Privacy, Hamish Stewart

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

The right to be “secure against unreasonable search or seizure” in section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms applies only where the Charter applicant has a reasonable expectation of privacy in the place searched or the information obtained. The Supreme Court of Canada’s methodology for deciding whether an applicant has such a reasonable expectation appears well settled. The Court asks first whether the applicant had a subjective expectation of privacy, and second whether, in light of a long list of factors, that expectation was reasonable. But the Court’s decisions reveal at least two potentially incompatible ways of …

Schiavo Revisited? The Struggle For Autonomy At The End Of Life In Italy, Kathy L. Cerminara

Faculty Scholarship

Kathy Cerminara, Schiavo Revisited? The Struggle for Autonomy at the End of Life in Italy, 12 Marquette University Elder's Advisor 295 (2011). Politically strident debates surrounding end-of-life decisionmaking have surfaced once again, this time across the Atlantic in Italy. Eluana Englaro died early this year after a prolonged court fight, causing the international press to compare her case to that of Theresa Marie Schiavo, who passed away in 2005 in Florida after nearly sparking constitutional crises on both state and federal levels. In many respects, the facts of Ms. Englaro’s case are similar to Schiavo, but a close analysis …

Recent Developments Concerning Preferred Stockholder Rights Under Delaware Law, Marilyn Blumberg Cane, Joong-Sik Choi, Scott B. Gitterman Jan 2011

Recent Developments Concerning Preferred Stockholder Rights Under Delaware Law, Marilyn Blumberg Cane, Joong-Sik Choi, Scott B. Gitterman

Faculty Scholarship

This is a timely article focusing on the conflicting duties owed to preferred and common stockholders. Delaware is the leading corporate law jurisdiction in the United States. Preferred stock is a key component in angel and venture capital transactions. Historically the Delaware courts have accepted as a general principle the proposition that since the preferred rights are contractual in nature, they must be expressly defined in the preferred stock contract in order for the preferred to successfully assert those rights. Accordingly, the directors owe correlative duties to the preferred to the extent that the rights are articulated in the contract. …


The Fifth Freedom: The Constitutional Duty To Provide Public Education, Areto Imoukhuede Jan 2011

The Fifth Freedom: The Constitutional Duty To Provide Public Education, Areto Imoukhuede

Faculty Scholarship

“The fifth freedom is freedom from ignorance. It means that every[one], everywhere, should be free to develop his [or her] talents to their full potential – unhampered by arbitrary barriers of race or birth or income.” Lyndon B. Johnson This article argues that education is a fundamental human right that the U.S. Supreme Court has failed to recognize because of the Court’s bias towards negative, rather than positive rights. Viewed from the limited perspective of rights as liberties, the concern with declaring a fundamental right to education is that education legislation would be strictly scrutinized, thus causing the undesired result …
