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

Event Invitations 2023

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.


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 …


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

CICLR Online

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.

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.

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 …


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 …


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 …

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 …

Drug Courts: The Risk Of An Increased Number Of Drug-Related Arrests And Long Jail Sentences, Wayne A. Comstock Oct 2023

Drug Courts: The Risk Of An Increased Number Of Drug-Related Arrests And Long Jail Sentences, Wayne A. Comstock

University of Miami Race & Social Justice Law Review

In June 1971, President Richard Nixon declared a War on Drugs. As the War on Drugs continued throughout the 1980s, drug-related convictions increased, leading to overcrowding in prisons across the United States. Drug courts operate as an alternative to incarceration in which criminal defendants enter court mandated drug treatment programs. Judges monitor the progress of drug court participants through scheduled status hearings. However, contrary to their purpose, drug courts may contribute to incarceration by presenting the risk of an increased number of drug-related arrests in those jurisdictions that have implemented drug courts and long jail sentences imposed as sanctions for …


Police Brutality & Unions: Collective Bargaining Is The Problem, Not Law Enforcement, Falco Anthony Muscante Ii Oct 2023

Police Brutality & Unions: Collective Bargaining Is The Problem, Not Law Enforcement, Falco Anthony Muscante Ii

University of Miami Race & Social Justice Law Review

When Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes, and when Jason Van Dyke fired sixteen rounds at Laquan McDonald who was walking away from the responding officers, were Chauvin and Van Dyke acting exclusively of their own volition, or were their actions indicative of a deeper, systemic issue? Nearly 60% of law enforcement officers enjoy collective bargaining protections from their police unions, but these protections create a lack of accountability.

Police unions can bargain collectively with police departments because of state legislation, which typically allow for negotiation over matters affecting wages, hours, and terms and …

Privacy Harm And Non-Compliance From A Legal Perspective, Suvineetha Herath, Haywood Gelman, Lisa Mckee Oct 2023

Privacy Harm And Non-Compliance From A Legal Perspective, Suvineetha Herath, Haywood Gelman, Lisa Mckee

Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice

In today's data-sharing paradigm, personal data has become a valuable resource that intensifies the risk of unauthorized access and data breach. Increased data mining techniques used to analyze big data have posed significant risks to data security and privacy. Consequently, data breaches are a significant threat to individual privacy. Privacy is a multifaceted concept covering many areas, including the right to access, erasure, and rectify personal data. This paper explores the legal aspects of privacy harm and how they transform into legal action. Privacy harm is the negative impact to an individual as a result of the unauthorized release, gathering, …


Adoption Of Cybersecurity Policies By Local Governments 2020, Donald F. Norris Phd, Laura K. Mateczun Jd Oct 2023

Adoption Of Cybersecurity Policies By Local Governments 2020, Donald F. Norris Phd, Laura K. Mateczun Jd

Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice

This paper should be of interest to the readers of this journal because it addresses a subject that has received little scholarly attention; namely, local government cybersecurity. The U.S. has over 90,000 units of local government, of which almost 39,000 are “general purpose” units (i.e., municipalities, counties, towns and townships). On average, these governments do not practice cybersecurity effectively (Norris, et al., 2019 and 2020). One possible reason is that they do not adopt and/or implement highly recommended cybersecurity policies. In this paper, we examine local government adoption or lack of adoption of cybersecurity policies using data from three surveys. …
