Back To The Future: Does Apprendi Bar A Legislature's Power To Shift The Burden Of Proof Away From The Prosecution By Labeling An Element Of A Traditional Crime As An Affirmative Defense?, Leslie Yalof Garfield Jan 2003

Back To The Future: Does Apprendi Bar A Legislature's Power To Shift The Burden Of Proof Away From The Prosecution By Labeling An Element Of A Traditional Crime As An Affirmative Defense?, Leslie Yalof Garfield

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This Article considers whether it would be sound to extend the Apprendi rule to affirmative defenses. Part II of this Article considers the historical foundation of the Due Process Clause and the evolution of the assignment of the burden of proof for affirmative defenses and sentencing factors. Part II also reviews Mullaney and its progeny through the most current case, Apprendi. Part III discusses the Court's model for determining which categories of statutory language constitute elements requiring proof beyond a reasonable doubt and which are "nonessential element[s] of an offense." Part IV evaluates whether it is appropriate to assign the …


Ruminations On Terrorism & Anti-Terrorism In Law And Literature, Christopher L. Blakesley Jan 2003

Minnesota's Sex Offender Commitment Program: Would An Empirically-Based Prevention Policy By More Effective?, Eric S. Janus Jan 2003

Minnesota's Sex Offender Commitment Program: Would An Empirically-Based Prevention Policy By More Effective?, Eric S. Janus

Faculty Scholarship

Minnesota’s sex offender commitment scheme is not just a bad idea; it likely has bad consequences. It is a huge and disproportionate sink for resources that ight be put to more effective use in the fight against sexual violence. Worse, its demand for resources will continue to grow, thus predetermining to a large extent how prevention and treatment dollars are spent. It is very possible that a more rational allocation of these resources would actually prevent more violence than the allocation that is automatically produced by the sex offender commitment scheme. At the very least, the fight against sexual violence …


Invisible Targets: Juvenile Prostitution, Crackdown Legislation, And The Example Of California, Pantea Javidan Jan 2003

Invisible Targets: Juvenile Prostitution, Crackdown Legislation, And The Example Of California, Pantea Javidan

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the contradiction in California's legal framework where minors are criminalized for prostitution under California Penal Code section 647(b), despite being legally incapable of consenting to sex. It argues that such laws fail to protect child prostitutes, who are often victims of exploitation, and instead perpetuate their harm by punishing them rather than addressing the root causes of their situation.


The Silencing Of A Woman's Choice: Mandatory Arrest And No Drop Prosecution Policies In Domestic Violence Cases, Jessica Dayton Jan 2003

The Silencing Of A Woman's Choice: Mandatory Arrest And No Drop Prosecution Policies In Domestic Violence Cases, Jessica Dayton

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article critiques mandatory arrest and no-drop prosecution policies in domestic violence cases, arguing that these policies undermine the autonomy of women by taking away their right to make decisions about their own safety and legal actions. The author advocates for a more flexible, victim-centered approach that respects each woman's unique circumstances and empowers her to make informed choices.


The Closet Becomes Darker For The Abused: A Perspective On Lesbian Partner Abuse, Marnie J. Franklin Jan 2003

The Closet Becomes Darker For The Abused: A Perspective On Lesbian Partner Abuse, Marnie J. Franklin

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that lesbian partner abuse is systematically overlooked in both academic discourse and legal systems, which predominantly rely on heteronormative frameworks that fail to account for same-sex relationships. This exclusion perpetuates the marginalization of abused lesbians, who face unique barriers due to societal homophobia, internalized shame, and the legal system's reliance on heterosexual models of domestic violence.


Creating A New Tango: Re-Imagining Gender, Phyllis Goldfarb Jan 2003

Creating A New Tango: Re-Imagining Gender, Phyllis Goldfarb

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article explores how feminist legal theory is applied and developed through case studies and media analysis, emphasizing the interplay between theory and practice. It highlights the need to challenge traditional gender hierarchies and the role of media in shaping gender perceptions, advocating for a reimagined understanding of gender roles.

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.


Some Troubling Elements In The Treaty Language Of The Rome Statute Of The International Criminal Court, Catherine R. Blanchet Jan 2003

Some Troubling Elements In The Treaty Language Of The Rome Statute Of The International Criminal Court, Catherine R. Blanchet

Michigan Journal of International Law

This Note will examine problems that arise from the language of the Rome Statute itself. Part II will examine the potential strategic uses of the Rome Statute's jurisdictional aspects. It will also examine how the fairness concerns raised by this potential usage are exacerbated when the potential State abuser is a permanent member of the Security Council. Part III will look at the language of the Rome Statute's definition of crimes against humanity. It will also examine the various and varying interpretations of this language by the scholars and commentators who have examined the issue.


The Black Market For Wildlife: Combating Transnational Organized Crime In The Illegal Wildlife Trade, Mara E. Zimmerman Jan 2003

The Black Market For Wildlife: Combating Transnational Organized Crime In The Illegal Wildlife Trade, Mara E. Zimmerman

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Trade in endangered wildlife has been a concern in the global community since the dawn of international environmental law. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), one of the most successful international environmental treaties established, addresses the issue through regulation of international trade in certain wildlife species. However, the effectiveness of the treaty has been greatly undermined through illegal wildlife trading. Recently, the illegal wildlife trade has attracted the attention of organized criminal groups, whose participation in the trade have helped make the black market for wildlife the second largest in the world. …


Anger And Intent For Murder: The Supreme Court Decisions In R. V. Parent, Joanne Klineberg Jan 2003

Anger And Intent For Murder: The Supreme Court Decisions In R. V. Parent, Joanne Klineberg

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

In R v. Parent, the Supreme Court of Canada recently held that intense anger alone is not, of itself, a defence to murder, although anger does play a role in reducing murder to manslaughter in connection with the defence of provocation. The Court's brief decision ignores twenty years of contrary jurisprudence and fails to provide detailed reasons for its conclusion, resulting in uncertainty about the scope and application of the decision. In this article, the author explores the relationship between anger and intent for murder, and outlines some possible arguments the Court could have relied on that would have provided …
