Trafficking Smuggled Migrants: An Issue Of Vulnerability, Rachel A. Hews Jan 2016

Trafficking Smuggled Migrants: An Issue Of Vulnerability, Rachel A. Hews

Global Tides

This paper analyzes why the UN’s efforts against the sex trafficking of smuggled migrants, specifically regarding the Palermo and Smuggling Protocols, have been inadequate in preventing migrant smuggling. It concludes that the crime-based focus on prosecution overshadows prevention of the crime and protection of the victims, and that a human rights approach addressing the vulnerability of smuggled migrants would be more effective in reducing migrant smuggling long-term. Proposed solutions include decreasing both the “push” and “pull” factors of migration by ratifying existing legislation regarding basic human rights, implementing national policies that increase migrant rights in destination countries, and shifting further …

Same-Sex Families And Adoption Discrimination Post Marriage Equality, Joel Viramontes-Gallegos Jan 2016

Same-Sex Families And Adoption Discrimination Post Marriage Equality, Joel Viramontes-Gallegos

Public Interest Law Reporter

With the major judicial holding of Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court of the United States legally recognized same sex-marriage. Advocates of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community celebrated in the granting of what many deemed a fundamental right. Now, with the ability to freely marry, same-sex couples are looking to grow their family through adoption, with some adoption agencies seeing a slight increase in upwards of 700 applicants a month. This article will address the legal challenges, and proposed solutions, to expanding American same-sex couples' legal rights to adopt children outside of the United States.

Solitary Confinement Banned In Federal Juvenile System, Bethany Dixon Jan 2016

Solitary Confinement Banned In Federal Juvenile System, Bethany Dixon

Public Interest Law Reporter

In January, President Obama banned solitary confinement - the confinement of a prisoner in a cell for virtually the entire day without environmental stimulation and limited opportunity for social interaction - for juveniles in the federal prison system. In his announcement, he stated that solitary confinement has been overused and has the potential to cause tremendous psychological consequences. His decision came after a review by the Justice Department. The report stated that the practice of solitary confinement reduces the chances that a prisoner can be eventually rehabilitated to society. This article will examine the anticipated impact of the President's executive …

The Threat Of Predatory Lending, Marko Stojkovic

Public Interest Law Reporter

This Article is part one of a two-part series exploring the dangers of predatory lending and how Dodd-Frank and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau have solved predatory lending and ended the possibility of another subprime debacle. In this part, what will be shown is that due to the U.S. government's deregulation and the greed of banks and predatory lenders in the housing market, predatory lending wreaked havoc on minority, low-income, and immigrant communities, and was the main cause of the 2008 economic collapse.

The Transformative Influence Of International Law And Practice On The Death Penalty In The United States, Richard Wilson Jan 2016

The Transformative Influence Of International Law And Practice On The Death Penalty In The United States, Richard Wilson

Contributions to Books

No region of the world has been more vocal and persistent in its opposition to U.S. death penalty practice than Europe, which has itself become a death penalty-free zone.

It then will examine U.S. interactions with its treaty partners in the area of extradition, where death penalty policy is acted out in the exchanges of …
