Disorder In The Court: The Death Penalty And The Constitution, Robert A. Burt

Michigan Law Review

This article has two purposes. Its first aim is to trace the significance of these shifting characterizations of American society in the Justices' successive approaches to the death penalty by retelling the story of the Court's capital punishment jurisprudence. Its second purpose is to suggest that belief in implacable social hostility destroys the coherence of the judicial role in constitutional adjudication. America may indeed be an irreconcilably polarized society; I cannot dispositively prove or disprove the proposition. I mean only to claim that in constitutional adjudication a judge is obliged to act as if this proposition were false; and, moreover, …

Aids Discrimination Under Federal, State, And Local Law After Arline, Robert P. Wasson, Jr.

Florida State University Law Review

In School Board v. Arline, the United States Supreme Court determined that people who suffer from tuberculosis can be protected from employment discrimination by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Arline is certain to affect people afflicted with AIDS-related disorders who suffer discrimination. In this Article, Professor Wasson examines the Arline decision and the effect it will have on AIDS-related discrimination. Also, he examines provisions of the United States Constitution, acts of Congress, state law, and municipal ordinances, all of which might provide alternative measures of protection for those who suffer AIDS-related discrimination.

Bootstrapping A Malice Requirement Into Adea Liquidated Damage Awards—Dreyer V. Arco Chemical, 801 F.2d 651 (3d Cir. 1986), Cert. Denied, 55 U.S.L.W. 3586 (U. S. Mar. 2, 1987) (No. 86-1062), Rebecca Marshall

Washington Law Review

In Dreyer v. ARCO Chemical, the Third Circuit announced a standard for double damage awards under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) that departs radically from the standard the Supreme Court deemed acceptable in Trans World Airlines v. Thurston. The ADEA protects employees over forty from discrimination on the basis of age. In order to enforce the Act, Congress created a two-tier remedy scheme: one, equitable and legal remedies to reimburse discrimination victims; and two, liquidated damages (hereinafter "double damages") to punish and deter employers from committing "willful" violations. Although the Third Circuit correctly identified a possible internal inconsistency …

Washington's Retreat From Civil Rights Enforcement—Meyer V. University Of Washington, 105 Wn. 2d 847, 719 P.2d 98 (1986), Jack Warner Widell

Washington Law Review

Congress passed the Civil Rights Attorneys' Fees Awards Act of 1976 (the Fees Act) to provide fees sufficient to attract competent counsel for civil rights plaintiffs, and thereby to promote private enforcement of civil rights laws. Ten years later, in Meyer v. University of Washington, the Washington Supreme Court transformed the Fees Act into a shield for civil rights violators which will deter bona fide civil rights claims. This Note reviews the history of the Fees Act, critiques the Meyer court's analysis of the Act, and proposes alternate methods of evaluating claims of prevailing defendants. The Meyer court misinterpreted the …

Racism In Great Britain: Drawing The Line On Free Speech, Kenneth Lasson

All Faculty Scholarship

On any given Sunday in Hyde Park, London's huge urban sanctuary of tailored ponds and manicured gardens, one is likely to hear outrageous and provocative public utterances about race and religion. A few of those venting their spleen here are practicing rhetoricians, a few are clearly acting-but others are absolutely sincere in their hatemongering and passionate in their vilification. All of them are focal points for assembled spectators of varying classes, many of whom are professional hecklers. The police, milling about to put down possible disturbances of the peace, are seldom called upon to quell roused rabble. Thus is this …

Do The United States Sentencing Guidelines Deprive Defendants Of Due Process?, Bradford Mank

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

It is difficult to determine whether due process requires individualized sentencing because sentencing goals and practices have varied greatly during the course of this nation's history. A court applying Judge Bork's original intent doctrine of constitutional interpretation would probably reach a result different from that reached by a court employing a more liberal view of due process protections.1o It is likely that liberals and conservatives on the current Supreme Court would disagree on whether the Guidelines violate due process.

This article argues that the Guidelines can be saved and can satisfy due process requirements if the Supreme Court interprets the …

Section 1983: Absolute Immunity For Pretrial Police Testimony, Jack Kaufman

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note discusses the development of the Supreme Court's approach to section 1983 immunity for trial witnesses. Central to this discussion is an overview of the history of common-law immunities for government officials, the history and purpose of section 1983, and the history of the Supreme Court's section 1983 immunity decisions. The author discusses the current disagreement in the circuits over extending section 1983 immunity to pretrial police testimony. The author also analyzes various possible answers to the question of whether to extend witness immunity under section 1983 to specific pretrial proceedings by applying the current Supreme Court "functional categories" …
