The Elephant In The Dark Room: A Response To Fair Notice, The Rule Of Law And Reforming Qualified Immunity, Teressa E. Ravenell Sep 2024

The Elephant In The Dark Room: A Response To Fair Notice, The Rule Of Law And Reforming Qualified Immunity, Teressa E. Ravenell

Faculty Publications

In response to Professor Chapman’s Fair Notice, the Rule of Law, and Reforming Qualified Immunity, this article examines the viability of Chapman’s proposal to reform qualified immunity by focusing on the “fair notice” rationale. Chapman argues that government officials should not be shielded from liability in cases where they acted in bad faith, violated criminal laws, or engaged in conduct malum in se. This article explores whether such a proposal could meaningfully alter qualified immunity litigation and concludes that significant procedural and historical barriers make this reform unlikely to succeed.

Rightsizing Local Legislatures, Brenner M. Fissell Jan 2023

Rightsizing Local Legislatures, Brenner M. Fissell

Faculty Publications

Local councils, boards, and commissions have all the lawmaking powers of a legislature—including the power to criminalize conduct—but they are far too small to deserve them. With an average size of only four members, local legislatures depart from the norm observable at all other levels of government. Only in the past few years have legal scholars turned their attention to the institutional design of these bodies, but this developing literature has yet to address their most striking feature—their small size.

This Article takes up this project. It claims that local microlegislatures are comparatively unrepresentative and undemocratic, and that their size …
