The Persistence Of The Confederate Narrative, Peggy Cooper Davis, Aderson Francois, Colin Starger Jan 2017

The Persistence Of The Confederate Narrative, Peggy Cooper Davis, Aderson Francois, Colin Starger

Tennessee Law Review

Ever since the United States was reconstituted after the Civil War, a Confederate narrative of states' rights has undermined the Reconstruction Amendments' design for the protection of civil rights. The Confederate narrative's diminishment of civil rights has been regularly challenged, but it stubbornly persists. Today the narrative survives in imprecise and unquestioning odes to state sovereignty.

We analyze the relationship, over time, between assertions of civil rights and calls for the protection of local autonomy and control. This analysis reveals a troubling sequence. the Confederate narrative was shamefully intertwined with the defense of American chattel slavery. It survived profound challenges …

The Case Against Prudential Standing: Examining The Courts' Use Of Prudential Standing Before And After Lexmark, Kylie Chiseul Kim Jan 2017

The Case Against Prudential Standing: Examining The Courts' Use Of Prudential Standing Before And After Lexmark, Kylie Chiseul Kim

Tennessee Law Review

Through Lujan and Lexmark, Justice Scalia constructed one of his greatest legacies: a sound and manageable definition of standing. However, a threat to this legacy, prudential standing, persists after his death. Lujan defines standing-in simplified terms-as injury, causation, and redressability. Lexmark undermines prudential standing, which exceeds Lujan's definition of standing and which encompasses the rule against assertion of a generalized grievance, assertion of an interest outside the zone of interests protected by the law invoked, and assertion of the right of a third party. Despite these cases, lower courts continue to use prudential standing, confusing standing's definition. Arguing for a …

America First: Improving A Recalcitrant Immigration And Refugee Policy, M. Akram Faizer Jan 2017

America First: Improving A Recalcitrant Immigration And Refugee Policy, M. Akram Faizer

Tennessee Law Review

This paper will discuss the need for developed and mature democracies, such as the United States, to take in substantially more refugees and economic migrants in view of the demand surge for international migration and the obvious humanitarian imperative. It will then argue that this will not happen under the current paradigm, whereby rich-world democracies that allow refugees and economic migrants to settle fail to take adequate measures to ensure safe repatriation and resettlement to migrants' countries of origin. This failure leads to unconsented permanent residency and subsequent naturalization that fuels a backlash by nativists and social conservatives, as evidenced …

Acting Gay, Acting Straight: Sexual Orientation Stereotyping, Luke A. Boso Jan 2016

Acting Gay, Acting Straight: Sexual Orientation Stereotyping, Luke A. Boso

Tennessee Law Review

What does it mean to discriminate because of sexual orientation? This legal question will increasingly arise as many states and municipalities enact laws that include sexual orientation as a protected trait. Without evidence of overt hostility towards or moral disapproval of gays as a group, plaintiffs may introduce evidence of sexual orientation stereotyping to make their case: i.e., evidence that an actor relied on group-based sexual orientation stereotypes in deciding to discriminate against an individual plaintiff. But how should courts determine whether the stereotyping relates to sexual orientation? It is important to answer this question for the litigants and judges …

Beyond Liberty: Toward A History And Theory Of Economic Coercion, Hiba Hafiz Jan 2016

Beyond Liberty: Toward A History And Theory Of Economic Coercion, Hiba Hafiz

Tennessee Law Review

The concept of economic coercion-that a relationship or transaction can be economically exploited for the benefit of some over others-is elaborated at the intersection of economic theory and economic realities, moral and political understandings of freedom, jurisprudence and the lived application of the law to facts. As a category of criminal and civil wrong, it has been directly and indirectly adjudicated in a breathtaking array of contexts of private and public ordering. Theories of economic coercion are decisive in drawing the line between what constitutes labor market competition and forced labor, which federal programs constitutionally encourage state action and which …

Developing Skills Of Leadership Through Service Learning: Alice's Adventures In Wonderland And A Path To Effective Leadership, R. Brad Morgan Jan 2016

Developing Skills Of Leadership Through Service Learning: Alice's Adventures In Wonderland And A Path To Effective Leadership, R. Brad Morgan

Tennessee Law Review

"What could a children's book have to say about leadership?" you may be thinking, "much less leadership in the legal profession?" Well, to that question I defer to one of the book's primary antagonists, the Duchess, and her simple, reassuring words: "'Tut, tut, child!' said the Duchess. 'Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it."'" And with that introduction, dear friends, I invite you to join me as we go down the rabbit hole ...

The New Diversity Crisis In The Federal Judiciary, Jason Iuliano, Avery Stewart Jan 2016

The New Diversity Crisis In The Federal Judiciary, Jason Iuliano, Avery Stewart

Tennessee Law Review

For much of its history, the federal judiciary was characterized by a complete lack of surface-level (i.e., demographic) diversity. Over the past fifty years, efforts to promote surface-level diversity have yielded significant gains and the modern judiciary now looks more like the citizenry it serves than it has at any other point in history. Although this particular diversity crisis has abated, a new one has taken shape.

Today, deep-level diversity is at an all-time low. This type of diversity denotes those attributes that are non-demographic in nature. It includes characteristics such as work experience, values, attitudes, and educational background. Given …


Distinctions With A Difference: Why Proper Rule 59(E) Motions Should Not Be Subject To "Second Or Successive" Habeas Analysis, Imad S. Matini Jan 2016

Distinctions With A Difference: Why Proper Rule 59(E) Motions Should Not Be Subject To "Second Or Successive" Habeas Analysis, Imad S. Matini

Tennessee Law Review

Motions to reconsider-filed under either Rule 59(e) or 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure--are often considered one in the same, whether due to imprudent labeling by a litigant or due to the belief that little distinction exists between the two. In the context of habeas corpus petitions filed by pro se prisoners, motions under Rule 59(e) and Rule 60(b) are often interchangeably filed. Within this context, however, the following issue persists: whether a motion filed under either rule is subject to the "second or successive" restriction under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA). The Supreme Court …
