The Faces Of Student Cell Phone Regulations And The Implications Of Three Clauses Of The Federal Constitution, Joseph O. Oluwole, William Visotsky Oct 2010

The Faces Of Student Cell Phone Regulations And The Implications Of Three Clauses Of The Federal Constitution, Joseph O. Oluwole, William Visotsky

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article examines the constitutionality of school district regulations on student cell phones, focusing on the Due Process Clause, the Free Speech Clause, and the Fourth Amendment. It argues that while schools have the authority to regulate cell phones to maintain an educational environment, such regulations must comply with legal standards to avoid infringing on students' rights. The analysis concludes that schools can enforce cell phone policies but must adhere to constitutional protections, particularly the Tinker test for speech and the T.L.O. test for searches.

Self-Incrimination And The Epistemology Of Testimony, Michael S. Pardo Dec 2008

Self-Incrimination And The Epistemology Of Testimony, Michael S. Pardo

Cardozo Law Review

The Supreme Court's limitation of the privilege against self-incrimination to evidence of a testimonial nature has been controversial. The doctrinal reliance on a distinction between physical and testimonial evidence has proven difficult to apply in practice, and it has been criticized as being descriptively inaccurate, analytically incoherent, and normatively indefensible. This article offers a defense of the distinction on epistemological grounds. The philosophical focus on testimony as a source of knowledge provides some insight into what makes testimony distinct as an epistemic source. These considerations are used to provide a coherent and principled way to distinguish what evidence to treat …

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The note examines the dismissal of a negligence lawsuit against MySpace, arguing that interactive computer services should not be held liable for offline harms committed by users. It emphasizes the importance of protecting such platforms under the Communications Decency Act (CDA) and highlights the need to balance free speech and technological development against concerns for user safety.

Harmless Constitutional Error And The Institutional Significance Of The Jury, Roger Fairfax Jan 2008

Harmless Constitutional Error And The Institutional Significance Of The Jury, Roger Fairfax

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Appellate harmless error review, an early twentieth-century innovation prompted by concerns of efficiency and finality, had been confined to nonconstitutional trial errors until forty years ago, when the U.S. Supreme Court extended the harmless error rule to trial errors of constitutional proportion. Even as criminal procedural protections were expanded in the latter half of the twentieth century, the harmless error rule operated to dilute the effect of many of these constitutional guarantees-the Sixth Amendment right to jury trial being no exception. However, while a tradeoff between important process values and the Constitution's protection of individual rights is inherent in the …


Immigration Reform In America: Past, Present, And Future, Thaddeus Coffman May 2007

Immigration Reform In America: Past, Present, And Future, Thaddeus Coffman

Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects

This paper examines immigration legislation throughout the history of the United States. The author has divided the focus of legislative activity into four main eras: the Laissez- Fair Era (1789-1875), the Anti-Asian Era (1876-1920), the National Origin Quotas Era (1921-1953), and the Illegal Immigration Era (1954-present). While these eras are not all inclusive, they are indicative of the main focus of legislation passed during their time. The author then compares the impact of major legislation passed during these eras to three current proposals aimed at addressing the increasing issue of illegal immigration: two versions of a guest-worker program and amnesty/legalization …


A Complete Property Right Amendment, John H. Ryskamp Oct 2006

A Complete Property Right Amendment, John H. Ryskamp

ExpressO

The trend of the eminent domain reform and "Kelo plus" initiatives is toward a comprehensive Constitutional property right incorporating the elements of level of review, nature of government action, and extent of compensation. This article contains a draft amendment which reflects these concerns.


Conversational Standing: A New Approach To An Old Privacy Problem, Christopher M. Drake Sep 2006

Conversational Standing: A New Approach To An Old Privacy Problem, Christopher M. Drake

ExpressO

American society has long considered certain conversations private amongst the participants in those conversations. In other words, when two or more people are conversing in a variety of settings and through a variety of media, there are times when all parties to the conversation can reasonably expect freedom from improper government intrusion, whether through direct participation or secret monitoring. This shared expectation of privacy has been slow to gain judicial recognition. Courts have indicated that the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution only protects certain elements of the conversation, such as where and how it takes place, but that …

Who Are The Good Guys? The Legacy Of Watergate And The Tangled Webs We Weave, Jeffrey A. Breinholt Sep 2005

Who Are The Good Guys? The Legacy Of Watergate And The Tangled Webs We Weave, Jeffrey A. Breinholt

ExpressO

This article examines the astounding revelation that Deep Throat, the anonymous source that brought down the Nixon Presidency, was Mark Felt, the man who ran the FBI during the Watergate Scandal. Was Mark Felt a hero or a villain? Thanks to the recent publication of Bob Woodward’s The Secret Man in combination with historical case law, we now have more historical evidence about what motivated Felt and how he reacted to his own legal misfortunes. This article examines this record and shows that categorizing Felt along the hero/villain continuum is not an easy task, but argues that this type of …

Naked Before The Law: Reality Porn And The Capacity To Contract, Benjamin J. Cooper Jan 2005

Naked Before The Law: Reality Porn And The Capacity To Contract, Benjamin J. Cooper

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the legal challenges surrounding reality pornography, particularly through the lens of the Girls Gone Wild series, highlighting the tension between First Amendment protections for producers and the rights of participants. It argues that the legal framework governing consent, exploitation, and contractual agreements in this context is unclear and often fails to protect participants, many of whom face severe consequences. The analysis underscores the complexities of balancing public interest, contractual capacity, and the rights of minors in this lucrative yet legally fraught industry.

Justice Under Attack: The Federal Government's Assault On The Attorneyclient Privilege, Robert J. Anello May 2003

Justice Under Attack: The Federal Government's Assault On The Attorneyclient Privilege, Robert J. Anello

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article argues that the federal government, particularly through the Department of Justice, has launched a multi-faceted assault on the attorney-client privilege, undermining its protections. Recent laws, rules, and policies, such as the Attorney General's monitoring rules for inmate communications and the Department of Justice's guidelines pressuring corporations to waive privilege, threaten the confidentiality essential to the attorney-client relationship. These actions, often justified under the guise of national security and combating corporate fraud, erode constitutional rights and the adversarial system of justice.


Taint Teams And Firewalls: Thin Armor For Attorney-Client Privilege, Heidi Boghosian May 2003

Taint Teams And Firewalls: Thin Armor For Attorney-Client Privilege, Heidi Boghosian

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article argues that post-9/11 U.S. government policies, particularly the monitoring of attorney-client communications and the indictment of Lynne Stewart, significantly erode the attorney-client privilege and the Sixth Amendment right to effective counsel. These actions, justified under national security, undermine constitutional protections and set a dangerous precedent for legal representation, especially for controversial or politically sensitive cases.


How The Overturn Of The Child Pornography Prevention Act Under Ashcroft V. Free Speech Coalition Contributes To The Protection Of Children, Emily D. Goldberg Jan 2003

How The Overturn Of The Child Pornography Prevention Act Under Ashcroft V. Free Speech Coalition Contributes To The Protection Of Children, Emily D. Goldberg

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the Supreme Court's decision in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, which struck down portions of the Child Pornography Prevention Act (CPPA) as unconstitutional under the First Amendment. The Court ruled that the CPPA's ban on virtual child pornography was overbroad, as it prohibited lawful speech that could have artistic, literary, or scientific value. The decision highlights the tension between protecting children from exploitation and safeguarding free speech, ultimately emphasizing the importance of allowing narratives that confront and address difficult issues like child sexual abuse.

Archie Cox is a teacher. He taught generations of law students at Harvard Law School and, more recently, at Boston University School of Law.

In his first weeks as Watergate Special Prosecutor, Cox carried with him a stack of blue books, Labor Law examinations he still had to grade (p. 263).
