In Defense Of Making Government Pay: The Deterrent Effect Of Constitutional Tort Remedies, Myriam E. Gilles Jan 2001

In Defense Of Making Government Pay: The Deterrent Effect Of Constitutional Tort Remedies, Myriam E. Gilles

Georgia Law Review

I will argue in this Essay that there are a number of reasons to expect that the imposition of constitutional tort damage awards against individual officers or their municipal employers does have a deterrent effect on the behavior of these governmental actors and entities. In Part I, I will focus on the ways in which the imposition of constitutional tort remedies against an individual officer does deter. While Professor Levinson decries the inability of the law and economics paradigm to explain government actors' response to constitutional tort damages, he fails to meaningfully account for the role of the qualified immunity …


Turning Section 1983'S Protection Of Civil Rights Into An Attractive Nuisance: Extra-Textual Barriers To Municipal Liability Under Monell, Brian J. Serr Jan 2001

Turning Section 1983'S Protection Of Civil Rights Into An Attractive Nuisance: Extra-Textual Barriers To Municipal Liability Under Monell, Brian J. Serr

Georgia Law Review

This essay addresses the problem of "Making Government Pay" from a different perspective than Professor Levinson's article.1 Instead of focusing on social and economic barriers to deterrence and corrective justice, this essay will focus on the arbitrary legal barriers that the Supreme Court has placed between a constitutionally injured citizen and the municipal treasury. These legal barriers are more fairly attributable to the Supreme Court than to Congress because the barriers to establishing municipal liability under the Court's § 1983 jurisprudence are hardly self-evident from the statutory text of § 1983, nor are those barriers readily inferrable from that text. …


Afterword, Marshall S. Shapo Jan 2001

Afterword, Marshall S. Shapo

Georgia Law Review

It is a great pleasure to comment on these papers on a subject that has fascinated me since the beginning of my teaching career. My observations will no doubt reflect the roots of my thinking in an article I wrote on the subject in 1965' and other early publications, and, doubtless, my relative ignorance of the immense amount of case law that has flowed from courts since the mid-sixties. However, informed by a little independent study and refreshed by the commentaries, I venture a few somewhat angular thoughts. They do not" in any way pretend to be exhaustive with respect …


Corrective Justice And Constitutional Torts, Bernard P. Dauenhauer, Michael L. Wells Jan 2001

Corrective Justice And Constitutional Torts, Bernard P. Dauenhauer, Michael L. Wells

Georgia Law Review

Tort liability in the private realm may be understood both as "an instrument aimed... at deterrence... [and] a way of achieving corrective justice between the parties."' Following the common law model, the Supreme Court has borrowed this normative framework for constitutional torts, ruling that the aims of liability for damages are to vindicate constitutional rights and to deter constitutional violations. A recent article by Daryl Levinson takes issue vith this approach. Levinson argues that the superficial similarities between public torts and private torts conceal real differences, to which neither the Court nor scholars have paid adequate attention. The main point …

Challenges To Humanitarian Legal Approaches For Eliminating The Hazards Of Drunk Alcoholic Drivers, Joseph W. Little Jan 1970

Challenges To Humanitarian Legal Approaches For Eliminating The Hazards Of Drunk Alcoholic Drivers, Joseph W. Little

Georgia Law Review

Two epidemics ravage this country. One is the plague of highway crashes that claims the lives of three scores of thousands of Americans each year. The other is the scourge of alcoholism that brings not only personal degradation to the lives of six million sufferers but also despair, hardship, suffering and death to countless nonalcoholic persons. As even a cursory review of current legal literature will reveal, research findings demonstrate beyond any doubt that these two epidemics are not mutually independent. Although one is rarely able to place definite causal blame upon any single factor in any instance, statistical evidence …


False Or Suppressed Evidence: Why A Need For The Prosecutorial Tie, Ronald L. Carlson Dec 1969

False Or Suppressed Evidence: Why A Need For The Prosecutorial Tie, Ronald L. Carlson

Scholarly Works

Many United States Supreme Court decisions have overturned criminal convictions for the reason that the government employed false evidence to obtain the conviction or failed to disclose relevant evidence important to the defense. In reversing federal or state judgments, the Court often has located direct proof of wrongdoing by the prosecutor. The notorious "bloody shorts" case is an example in point.' There, the state introduced as evidence a pair of men's "blood-stained" undershorts to achieve conviction of the accused. When the blood turned out to be red paint, the Supreme Court granted habeas corpus relief to the defendant because "[it …


Chronic Alcoholic Court Offenders: An Alternative To The Drunk Tank, Jack H. Watson, Jr Jan 1968

Chronic Alcoholic Court Offenders: An Alternative To The Drunk Tank, Jack H. Watson, Jr

Georgia Law Review

T HE social problem of alcoholism may be divided into two categories: (1) that of the "visible" alcoholic or "chronic alcoholic court offender" whose illness is manifested hundreds of thousands of times per year either on city streets, or in countless city and county stockades acoss the country; and (2) that of the "invisible" alcoholic whose illness is just as serious, but whose social and economic position permits him to suffer through years of alcoholism without being arrested or taken before a magistrate for being drunk in public. It is estimated that over 6,500,000 persons in the United States are …
