The 'Show' In The 'Show Trial': Contextualizing The Politicization Of The Courtroom, Awol K. Allo
The 'Show' In The 'Show Trial': Contextualizing The Politicization Of The Courtroom, Awol K. Allo
Barry Law Review
Questioning the indifference of the law to its own normative correctness and its claim to legitimacy, this article explores the epistemological and ontological foundations upon which the concept and lexicon of show trial is predicated. By invoking the theory of performativity, the article distinguishes between the different models of show trials to allow for a more complex and nuanced reading of the particular nature of the show in judicial practices often called ‘show trials.’ By emphasizing the peculiarity of the ‘show’ in each ‘show trial’, the article seeks to reconceptualize the ambit of the criminal trial. Arguing against the emphasis …

Reform In California's Immigration Enforcement And Immigration Court, Nelson E. Gil
Reform In California's Immigration Enforcement And Immigration Court, Nelson E. Gil
CMC Senior Theses
According to the Department of Homeland Security, Office of Immigration Statistic, California accounts for approximately 2,600,000 illegal immigrants in 2009. This number represents about 25 percent of the entire estimated illegal immigrant population in the United States, which is roughly 10.8 million. Between 2003 and 2008, the U.S. government removed 1,446,338 noncitizens from the United States. This rise in deportation is a result o the changes that have been enacted by the federal government over the years that transformed the nature of immigration enforcement. This thesis explores the California Immigration Enforcement system from the programs established to apprehend illegal aliens …

Jamming The Revolving Door: Legislative Setbacks For Mental Health Court Systems In Virginia, Sheila Moheb
Jamming The Revolving Door: Legislative Setbacks For Mental Health Court Systems In Virginia, Sheila Moheb
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
Proponents of MHCs assert that alternative court systems will provide efficient jail diversion programs and reduce the number of individuals with mental illness in the criminal justice system by directing them to appropriate community treatment facilities. At the same time, MHCs must serve as only one branch of a larger, cohesive community effort to deter individuals with mental illness from incarceration, if not from conviction. Both advocates and adversaries of MHCs remain wary of the potential misuse of mental health courts, which may subject people with mental illness to greater criminalization or lead to greater fragmentation of the mental health …

Regulatory Adjudication, Marcia L. Mccormick
Regulatory Adjudication, Marcia L. Mccormick
All Faculty Scholarship
Calls for increased regulation are flying fast and furious these days. We use regulation in the United States to prevent harm that various kinds of activities might cause and also to create positive external benefits that those activities could yield, but might not without incentives. Most regulatory programs in the United States provide a blend of measures designed to create these positive external benefits, promote good practices in the industry, prevent harms, and provide those harmed with remedies. At a time in which we contemplate new ways to regulate to deal with the crises of the day and prevent the …
Situating Inherent Power Within A Rules Regime, Samuel P. Jordan
Situating Inherent Power Within A Rules Regime, Samuel P. Jordan
All Faculty Scholarship
My goal in this short Essay is to describe the way that inherent power is understood and applied within our procedural framework, and to suggest the need for a more robust account of the contemporary relationship between inherent power and formal procedural rules. Part I describes two roles – one legitimate and one not – that inherent power can play vis-à-vis the rules. Part II examines how those roles are often confused or manipulated, with the result that inherent power remains available to justify judicial action in an undesirably large class of cases. Finally, Part III explores ways to clarify …
Local Rules And The Limits Of Trans-Territorial Procedure, Samuel P. Jordan
Local Rules And The Limits Of Trans-Territorial Procedure, Samuel P. Jordan
All Faculty Scholarship
Local rules have been unfairly cast as procedural villains. Their qualifications for the role are purportedly numerous, but chief among them is that they violate a fundamental principle embedded in our post-1938 procedural regime: that the procedural rules applied in a federal case should not be sensitive to location. It must of course be conceded that local rules do produce territorial variations in procedure. But in practice, the principle of trans-territoriality is aspirational, and is undermined by an array of factors – ranging from competing interpretations of written rules to the supplementation of those rules through exercises of inherent power …

Student Works (2010-2019)
This study discusses the issues of harta sepencarian (jointly-accumulated wealth) in the Syariah Court of Singapore. The objectives of this study are to examine the meaning and interpretation of harta sepencarian, and the influence of direct and indirect contributions in determining the amount received by the husband and wife from the harta sepencarian. Although the AMLA has provided general guidelines and interpretation on the factors which need to be taken into consideration when determining the distribution of harta sepencarian, but these guidelines do not distinguish between the main and supporting factors. Through literature studies, case-studies of Court cases and interviews, …

Cooperative Interbranch Federalism: Certification Of State-Law Questions By Federal Agencies, Verity Winship
Cooperative Interbranch Federalism: Certification Of State-Law Questions By Federal Agencies, Verity Winship
Vanderbilt Law Review
When an unresolved state-law question arises in federal court, the court may certify it to the relevant state court. The practice of certification from one court to another has been widely adopted and has been touted as "help[ing] build a cooperative judicial federalism." This Article proposes that states promote cooperative interbranch federalism by allowing federal agencies to certify unresolved state-law questions to state courts. It draws on Delaware's recent expansion of potential certifying entities to the Securities and Exchange Commission to argue that this innovation should be extended to other states and other federal agencies. Certification from federal agencies to …

"Objection: Your Honor Is Being Unreasonable!"--Law And Policy Opposing The Federal Sentencing Order Objection Requirement, Benjamin K. Raybin
Vanderbilt Law Review
"I think you ought to object, counselor," boomed the judge.' One could not help but to be taken aback: this instruction was not directed towards a pro se defendant, nor was it addressing an action by an opposing party. Instead, the judge had actually suggested-with a straight face and a hint of irony-that an attorney object to the sentence the judge had just imposed. Unlike the attorney, the judge had been following the development of a quirk in the circuit's sentencing law. In United States v. Vonner, the Sixth Circuit had recently held that a party must object to a …
The Many Faces Of Strict Scrutiny: How The Supreme Court Changes The Rules In Race Cases, Evan Gerstmann, Christopher Shortell
The Many Faces Of Strict Scrutiny: How The Supreme Court Changes The Rules In Race Cases, Evan Gerstmann, Christopher Shortell
Political Science Faculty Publications and Presentations
In this paper, we argue that there is no single test called strict scrutiny when the Court considers claims of racial discrimination. In fact, the Court changes the rules depending on why and how the government is using race. By examining racial redistricting, remedial affirmative action, and diversitybased affirmative action cases, we show how the Court uses at least three very different versions of strict scrutiny. The costs of maintaining the fiction of unitary strict scrutiny is high. In the area of racial profiling, for example, courts refuse to apply strict scrutiny for fear that it will either overly hamper …
