Safety Valve Closed: The Removal Of Non-Violent Outlets For Dissent And The Onset Of Anti-Abortion Violence, Mark L. Rienzi Jan 2000

Safety Valve Closed: The Removal Of Non-Violent Outlets For Dissent And The Onset Of Anti-Abortion Violence, Mark L. Rienzi

Scholarly Articles

This Note examines abortion opposition over the past two centuries and the extent to which recent trends toward violence have followed from the elimination of major nonviolent methods of dissent. Part I explores the history of abortion opposition prior to Roe, noting that opponents during this period relied almost exclusively on legislative action to effect change. Roe removed this principal nonviolent outlet, and the first wave of anti-abortion violence in American history en-sued. Even within this post-Roe violence, an examination of the rise and fall of mass nonviolent civil disobedience in the late i98Os and the dramatic increase in anti-abortion …

What Do You Do When You Meet A "Walking Violation Of The Sixth Amendment" If You're Trying To Put That Lawyer's Client In Jail?, Vanessa Merton Jan 2000

What Do You Do When You Meet A "Walking Violation Of The Sixth Amendment" If You're Trying To Put That Lawyer's Client In Jail?, Vanessa Merton

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

For the purpose of this article, the relevance of my experience as a criminal defense attorney is this: if ever one might expect to find a prosecutor inclined to err on the side of fairness of process and protecting the rights of defendants, it ought to be me. Also, for more than twenty years, I have been something of a professional ethicist--as research fellow, teacher, staff member of an ethics center, chair and/or member of several institutional review boards, pro bono trial counsel to a disciplinary committee, ethics consultant, and expert witness--and, therefore, one might think, especially susceptible to the …


Inverting The Viability Test For Abortion Law, Bruce Ching Jan 2000

Inverting The Viability Test For Abortion Law, Bruce Ching

Journal Articles

The abortion controversy is likely to become even more pressing with the development of technological advancements that enhance the chances for fetal survival of the abortion procedure. This essay explores the consequences of recognizing that keeping the fetus alive does not depend on keeping the fetus in utero.


The First Amendment, The Right Not To Speak And The Problem Of Government Access Statutes, Anna M. Taruschio Jan 2000

The First Amendment, The Right Not To Speak And The Problem Of Government Access Statutes, Anna M. Taruschio

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The dual principles of promoting the marketplace of ideas and protecting individual autonomy lie at the core of the First Amendment. When the government assumes an affirmative role by opening opportunities for public speech, it places individuals' negative liberties, such as the right not to speak, at risk. This conflict cannot be avoided by analyzing compelled speech outside of the First Amendment; the autonomy promised by the Bill of Rights and repeatedly affirmed by Supreme Court jurisprudence protects the right not to speak. Scholars, jurists, and practitioners therefore should pay close attention to the right not to speak when the …


The Pain Relief Promotion Act: Will It Spell Death To "Death With Dignity" Or Is It Unconstitutional?, Joy Fallek Jan 2000

The Pain Relief Promotion Act: Will It Spell Death To "Death With Dignity" Or Is It Unconstitutional?, Joy Fallek

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note explores Congress' attempts to restrict Oregon's Death with Dignity Act by enacting two the Lethal Drug Abuse and Prevention Act of 1998 ("LDAP Act") and the Pain Relief Promotion Act of 1999 ("PRPA"). It explores constitutional decisions concerning physician-assisted suicide and those which tend to show that the Supreme Court demonstrated federalist leanings during this time. The Note concludes that this Congressional legislation is a premature attempt to restrict experimentation concerning physician-assisted suicide and that the Supreme Court should strive to thwart attempts to cut off such experimentation.


Stopping Hate Without Stifling Speech: Re-Examining The Merits Of Hate Speech Codes On University Campuses, Catherine B. Johnson Jan 2000

Stopping Hate Without Stifling Speech: Re-Examining The Merits Of Hate Speech Codes On University Campuses, Catherine B. Johnson

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note explores legislative attempts to help reduce incidents of hate speech on university campuses. It begins by analyzing the rise in hate speech codes at public universities and examining two U.S. Supreme Court decisions in R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul and Wisconsin v. Mitchell. The author argues that a hate speech code that implements forward-looking, long-term education objective would work towards stopping hate on campus without violating students' First Amendment rights. This Note reaches the conclusion that a narrowly drawn hate speech code based on recognized First Amendment exceptions, implemented along with with education initiatives, could facilitate the …


Child Access Prevention Laws: Keeping Guns Out Of Our Children's Hands, Rachel Shaffer Jan 2000

Child Access Prevention Laws: Keeping Guns Out Of Our Children's Hands, Rachel Shaffer

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note explores the Child Access Prevention ("CAP") law and laws which are generally intended to limit children's access to guns at home. The author proposes a model CAP law that should be enacted in the United States. This Note discusses the evolution of CAP laws and presents for arguments for and against such laws. It delves into the National Rifle Association's ("NRA") powerful influence that improperly prevents CAP laws from being enacted by the federal government. Additionally, it is argued that unless the federal government enacts a CAP law, innocent children will continue to be injure and lose their …


The Gang's All Here: Anti-Loitering Laws In The Face Of City Of Chicago V. Morales, Robert Delchin Jan 2000

The Gang's All Here: Anti-Loitering Laws In The Face Of City Of Chicago V. Morales, Robert Delchin

Cleveland State Law Review

This Comment examines Morales and the Court's treatment of anti-gang loitering statutes under the vagueness doctrine. Part II examines the City of Chicago's attempt to tackle the problem of gangs terrorizing its citizens and how the Illinois courts dealt with the ordinance. Part III then examines the reasons for the United States Supreme Court invalidating the ordinance, with equal emphasis placed on all the Justice's opinions. Part IV then analyzes the implications of the Court's decision, criticizing the plurality's creation of a fimdamental right to loiter and demonstrating how the ordinance survives a vagueness challenge.


The Confrontation Clause: Statements Against Penal Interest As A Firmly Rooted Hearsay Exception, Amy N. Loth Jan 2000

The Confrontation Clause: Statements Against Penal Interest As A Firmly Rooted Hearsay Exception, Amy N. Loth

Cleveland State Law Review

This Article will explore why these types of confessions, called self-inculpatory statements, should be admissible under the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment. Part IIA of this Article will discuss the two-part test set forth in Ohio v. Roberts. Part IIB will address Lilly v. Virginia, the Supreme Court's first attempt to resolve whether statements against penal interest are sufficiently reliable to be admissible under the Confrontation Clause. Part IIB will also explore the distinction between self-inculpatory and non-self-inculpatory statements, what constitutes a "firmnly rooted" hearsay exception, and also the policy concerns behind creating a "firmly rooted" hearsay exception. Part …


Prosecution Of Christian Scientists: A Needed Protection For Children Or Insult Added To Injury, Daniel Vaillant Jan 2000

Prosecution Of Christian Scientists: A Needed Protection For Children Or Insult Added To Injury, Daniel Vaillant

Cleveland State Law Review

A young child is dead. The death occurred because the parents refused to take their child to a doctor. Now, ordinarily, this refusal to obtain medical attention for a dying child would result in immediate indictments against the parents for involuntary manslaughter. But what if the parents are Christian Scientists? This question of whether Scientists should be treated differently because of their faith is a very controversial one in America today. If we allow the Scientists to practice their religion without government interference, children who could be medically treated and possibly saved may die. If, on the other hand, we …


The Standing Of Citizens To Enforce Against Violations Of Environmental Statutes In The United States, Jeffrey G. Miller Jan 2000

The Standing Of Citizens To Enforce Against Violations Of Environmental Statutes In The United States, Jeffrey G. Miller

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Judicial actions by private citizens have played a critical role in the development and enforcement of federal environmental law in the United States over several decades. The courts' general receptivity to the standing of private environmental plaintiffs has made that role possible. A troika of Supreme Court decisions on standing in environmental cases authored by Scalia J over the last decade had eroded that general receptivity, casting doubt on the continued vitality of private actions in developing and implementing environmental law. The Court's recent decision in Friends of the Earth Inc v Laidlaw Environmental Services halts this erosion. To explain …
