The Politicization Of The Designation Of Foreign Terrorist Organizations: The Effect On The Separation Of Powers, Julie B. Shapiro Apr 2008

The Politicization Of The Designation Of Foreign Terrorist Organizations: The Effect On The Separation Of Powers, Julie B. Shapiro

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article critiques the U.S. process for designating foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA) and subsequent amendments, arguing that the concentration of power in the Executive Branch undermines the separation of powers and risks politicization. The process, while intended to deter terrorism, often lacks transparency, adequate oversight, and judicial scrutiny, leading to potential misuse and unintended consequences, such as radicalizing targeted groups. The author advocates for reforms to restore constitutional principles and ensure the process remains effective and legitimate.


Let My People Go: Human Capital Investment And Community Capacity Building Via Meta/Regulation In A Deliberative Democracy-A Modest Contribution For Criminal Law And Restorative Justice, Bruce P. Archibald Apr 2008

Let My People Go: Human Capital Investment And Community Capacity Building Via Meta/Regulation In A Deliberative Democracy-A Modest Contribution For Criminal Law And Restorative Justice, Bruce P. Archibald

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article explores the integration of restorative justice within Canada's criminal justice system, emphasizing its potential to enhance human capital development and community capacity through deliberative democratic processes. It argues that restorative justice offers a more effective and responsive approach compared to traditional punitive measures, which often fail to address the root causes of crime and may even exacerbate recidivism. By examining the Nova Scotia Restorative Justice Program as a model, the analysis highlights the benefits of combining restorative practices with formal criminal justice systems, advocating for a shift towards more inclusive and rehabilitative approaches to crime.

Incest And Sex Offender Registration: Who Is Registration Helping And Who Is It Hurting?, Jocelyn Ho Jan 2008

Incest And Sex Offender Registration: Who Is Registration Helping And Who Is It Hurting?, Jocelyn Ho

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note argues that sex offender registration and notification laws, such as Megan's Law, disproportionately harm victims and offenders in cases of incest. It contends that incest is distinct from other sex crimes due to its familial nature and low recidivism rates, making its inclusion in public registries unnecessary and counterproductive. The psychological and social consequences of registration extend to victims, violating their privacy and perpetuating stigma. The note advocates for a shift in policy focus toward prevention, victim empowerment, and rehabilitation rather than punitive measures.

Strict Liability And Negligent Rape: Or How I Learned To Start Worrying And Question The Criminal Justice System, Dini Rosenbaum Jan 2008

Strict Liability And Negligent Rape: Or How I Learned To Start Worrying And Question The Criminal Justice System, Dini Rosenbaum

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note critiques strict liability and negligent rape standards, advocating for a more nuanced approach that prioritizes subjective fault and societal education to address the limitations of current rape laws. It emphasizes the need to align legal standards with the defendant's actual state of mind while addressing systemic barriers to justice, particularly in date rape cases. The analysis highlights the gap between legal reforms and their practical application, suggesting that education could be a more effective tool for prevention than relying solely on legal changes.

Reporting Sexual Assault Of Women In The Military, Jodie Friedman

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the underreporting of sexual assaults in the military and the impact of policy changes aimed at addressing this issue. It highlights the challenges faced by victims, including fears of retaliation and the lack of confidentiality, and evaluates the effectiveness of the 2005 restricted reporting policy. The analysis suggests that while progress has been made, systemic issues persist, and further reforms are needed to protect victims' rights and ensure justice.

Straddling The Civil-Criminal Divide: A Bifurcated Approach To Understanding The Nature Of Immigration Removal Proceedings, Peter L. Markowitz Jan 2008

Straddling The Civil-Criminal Divide: A Bifurcated Approach To Understanding The Nature Of Immigration Removal Proceedings, Peter L. Markowitz

Articles

The article challenges the traditional classification of removal proceedings as civil, arguing that expulsion, particularly for permanent residents, functions similarly to criminal punishment and should therefore be treated as criminal. It proposes a bifurcated approach distinguishing exclusion and expulsion, advocating for criminal protections in expulsion proceedings to align with historical and constitutional principles.

Search And Seizure On Steroids: United States V. Comprehensive Drug Testing And Its Consequences For Private Information Stored On Commercial Electronic Databases, Aaron Seiji Lowenstein Oct 2007

Search And Seizure On Steroids: United States V. Comprehensive Drug Testing And Its Consequences For Private Information Stored On Commercial Electronic Databases, Aaron Seiji Lowenstein

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The Ninth Circuit's decision in United States v. Comprehensive Drug Testing erodes Fourth Amendment protections by allowing government agents to search and seize private information from commercial electronic databases without a warrant or particularized suspicion, raising significant concerns about privacy rights in the digital age. The ruling permits the government to retain and use evidence beyond the scope of the original warrant, undermining constitutional safeguards and disproportionately impacting industries like healthcare. The decision highlights the tension between law enforcement needs and individual privacy, with the dissent warning of far-reaching consequences for personal data security.

The Practicability Of Amnesty As A Non-Prosecutory Alternative In Post-Conflict Uganda, Kathleen Ellen Macmillan Oct 2007

The Practicability Of Amnesty As A Non-Prosecutory Alternative In Post-Conflict Uganda, Kathleen Ellen Macmillan

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The note argues that amnesty can be a necessary and effective tool for achieving peace in conflict-ridden regions, even when the International Criminal Court (ICC) is involved. It focuses on Uganda's situation, where the government's amnesty offer to the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) was crucial for a ceasefire. The analysis suggests that the ICC should consider deferring to national processes, such as Uganda's Amnesty Act of 2000, to support transitional justice and reconciliation, rather than prioritizing prosecution. The note concludes that amnesty, integrated with traditional justice mechanisms, can be both legally permissible and morally justifiable in certain contexts.

Deterrence, Retributivism, And The Law Of Evidence, Richard A. Bierschbach, Alex Stein Sep 2007

Deterrence, Retributivism, And The Law Of Evidence, Richard A. Bierschbach, Alex Stein

Articles

Legal scholarship has long treated substantive criminal law and evidence as two separate and distinct fields. The former largely concerns itself with evaluating substantive criminal law rules by reference to various animating theories-most prominently, those of deterrence and retributivism.' Scholars, students, and policymakers laud or condemn doctrines based on notions of "just deserts" or ideas about the incentives they create for those disposed to commit a crime. When it comes to the numerous evidentiary and other rules that determine the course of prosecutions and proof, however, the conversation is different. Here, questions of reliability, evidential worth, and accuracy in fact-finding …


Mediating Rules In Criminal Law, Richard A. Bierschbach, Alex Stein Sep 2007

Mediating Rules In Criminal Law, Richard A. Bierschbach, Alex Stein

Articles

This Article challenges the conventional divide between substantive criminal law theory, on the one hand, and evidence law, on the other, by exposing an important and unrecognized function of evidence rules in criminal law. Throughout the criminal law, special rules of evidence work to mediate conflicts between criminal law's deterrence and retributivist goals. They do this by skewing errors in the actual application of the substantive criminal law to favor whichever theory has been disfavored by the substantive rule itself The mediating potential of evidentiary rules is particularly strong in criminal law because the substantive law's dominant animating theories-deterrence and …
