Policing In The Era Of Permissiveness: Mitigating Misconduct Through Third-Party Standing, Julian A. Cook Iii
Policing In The Era Of Permissiveness: Mitigating Misconduct Through Third-Party Standing, Julian A. Cook Iii
Brooklyn Law Review
On April 4, 2015, Walter L. Scott was driving his vehicle when he was stopped by Officer Michael T. Slager of the North Charleston, South Carolina, police department for a broken taillight. A dash cam video from the officer’s vehicle showed the two men engaged in what appeared to be a rather routine verbal exchange. Sometime after Slager returned to his vehicle, Scott exited his car and ran away from Slager, prompting the officer to pursue him on foot. After he caught up with Scott in a grassy field near a muffler establishment, a scuffle between the men ensued, purportedly …
Police Impunity In Mexico: Creating Openings For Justice In A New Democracy, Emily Boyce
Police Impunity In Mexico: Creating Openings For Justice In A New Democracy, Emily Boyce
Honors Theses
In this project, I investigate why police impunity has persisted in Mexico, and why the application of justice, when it does occur, happens unequally. Mexico has undergone a democratic transition with a specific focus on increasing accountability in the judiciary. These persistent trends of police impunity and unequal application of justice are especially puzzling in the face of these recent shifts. Existing literature argues that the institutional changes that occur as a result of democratization should yield changes that further the individual rights of citizens. A majority of the scholarly work regarding police impunity and justice in Mexico focuses on …

Evading Miller, Robert S. Chang, David A. Perez, Luke M. Rona, Christopher M. Schafbuch
Seattle University Law Review
Miller v. Alabama appeared to strengthen constitutional protections for juvenile sentencing that the United States Supreme Court recognized in Roper v. Simmons and Graham v. Florida. In Roper, the Court held that executing a person for a crime committed as a juvenile is unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment. In Graham, the Court held that sentencing a person to life without parole for a nonhomicide offense committed as a juvenile is unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment. In Miller, the Court held that a mandatory sentence of life without parole for a homicide offense committed by a juvenile is also unconstitutional under …

Prisoners Of Debt: Costs And Consequences Of Civil Penalties And Routine Criminal Procedures, Russell C. Gabriel, Charles E. Auslander Iii, Sarah Geraghty, Edward Brumby
Working in the Public Interest Conferences
This panel will consider the costs incurred by people when their lives become entwined with law enforcement, the collateral consequences of criminal sentences, and civil penalties. From the fees associated with probation, to the costs that a person incurs when they are arrested for a failure to appear in court, to the consequences of being jailed when bail exceeds a person's means, are the punitive consequences proportionate to the offense? This panel discussed the costs incurred by citizens who become trapped in a cycle of debt and imprisonment and the options for alleviating undue collateral consequences.

Letting Innocence Suffer: The Need For Defense Access To The Law Enforcement Dna Database, Jason Kreag
Letting Innocence Suffer: The Need For Defense Access To The Law Enforcement Dna Database, Jason Kreag
Cardozo Law Review
Law enforcement has gradually amassed a sizable DNA database that holds considerable promise for solving cold cases and identifying suspects. The Supreme Court has blessed this effort, allowing investigators to include profiles of arrestees as well as convicted persons in the database. At present, though, law enforcement has a near monopoly on use of the DNA database, leaving defendants at the whim of the law enforcement officials who control access to this tool. Legal scholars have alternatively praised and decried the database, but none has examined its prospects for proving defendants' innocence post-conviction. This Article fills that void by identifying …

Lawyers Represent Clients ... Or Do They?, Alan Mills
Lawyers Represent Clients ... Or Do They?, Alan Mills
Public Interest Law Reporter
In most cases, lawyers file cases on behalf of clients. However, lawyers do not-get to make substantive decisions about the cases we work on; our clients do. Illinois Rule of Professional Conduct 1.2 makes this clear: [A] lawyer shall abide by a client's decisions concerning the objectives of representation and .. . Shall consult with the client as to the means by which they are to be pursued. But what happens in a class action lawsuit? Once a class is certified, lawyers represent both named plaintiffs and every member of the class. What happens when there is a conflict between …
Making Higher Education An Option: Taking A Look At The Chicago Support System For Undocumented High School Students, Martha Laura Garcia
Making Higher Education An Option: Taking A Look At The Chicago Support System For Undocumented High School Students, Martha Laura Garcia
Public Interest Law Reporter
From the injunction on the President's Executive Action to expand the current immigration policies to the current language presidential candidates have used when speaking about immigration reform, immigrants have more than enough reasons to feel uneasy about their future in this country. All is not bad, however, especially for undocumented students. Cities like Chicago, a city of immigrants, are making great strides to create welcoming and supportive communities for immigrants. Compared to other U.S. cities, Chicago is very immigrant-friendly, with people working across the city to provide support for undocumented students and ensure that they have access to higher education. …

How Chicago Is Criminalizing Homelessness, Anthony Wadas
How Chicago Is Criminalizing Homelessness, Anthony Wadas
Public Interest Law Reporter
Chicago passed an ordinance banning "aggressive panhandling," and the definition is rather broad, providing no clear definition of what constitutes "aggressive." The ordinance outright bans panhandling in certain locations, such as within ten feet of any CTA bus stop, "L" entrance, ATMs, or certain businesses including currency exchanges, banks, and outdoor cafes. Additionally, individuals are prohibited from soliciting people in vehicles for donations. Further, it prohibits soliciting in a manner that a reasonable person would find intimidating. Faced with these efforts to criminalize the homeless condition, individuals living on the streets face additional struggles when trying to escape poverty. People …
Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform: Is Chicago Making The Grade?, Austin Spillar
Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform: Is Chicago Making The Grade?, Austin Spillar
Public Interest Law Reporter
Civil asset forfeiture allows police to seize a person's cash and property without charging or convicting them of a crime, or even without making an arrest. The police simply just have to suspect that the assets are tied to an illegal activity. This leads some to call it "legal robbery," while law enforcement sees it as a tool to fight crime and supplement their budget. This article will examine civil asset forfeiture and its proceeds, emerging efforts for reform, and recent data and case law on civil asset forfeiture in Chicago.
