The "Enlightened Barbarity" Of Inclusive Fitness And Wrongful Death: Biological Justifications For An Investment Theory Of Loss In Wycko V. Gnodtke, Ryan Shannon
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Wrongful death laws should permit and encourage courts and juries to consider the survivors' investment in decedents when determining wrongful death damages, given new biological justifications for this theory of loss. The investment theory of damages, which permits an award of damages based on the investment of financial resources relatives make in one another, originated in Michigan's courts in the early 1 960s, but as of present day has been largely abrogated. In the context of modern understandings of evolutionary biology, including kin selection theory and sociobiology, the investment theory of recovery accords with the goals of corrective justice as …
Presumed Guilty Until Proven Innocent: The Burden Of Proof In Wrongful Conviction Claims Under State Compensation Statutes, Daniel S. Kahn
Presumed Guilty Until Proven Innocent: The Burden Of Proof In Wrongful Conviction Claims Under State Compensation Statutes, Daniel S. Kahn
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Despite significant efforts to uncover and prevent wrongful convictions, little attention has been paid to the compensation of wrongfully convicted individuals once they are released from prison. State compensation statutes offer the best path to redress because they do not require the claimant to prove that the state was at fault for the wrongful conviction and because they are not susceptible to the same political influences as other methods of compensation. However, even under compensation statutes, too many meritorious claims are dismissed, settled for far too little, or never brought in the first place. After examining the current statutory framework, …
Enforcing International Corrupt Practices Law, Paul D. Carrington
Enforcing International Corrupt Practices Law, Paul D. Carrington
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Essay strives to advance the current international movement to deter the transnational corrupt practices that have long burdened the global economy and weakened governments, especially in "developing" nations. Laws made in the last decade to address this longstanding global problem have not been effectively enforced. Described here are the moderately successful efforts in the United States since 1862 to reward private citizens serving as enforcers of laws prohibiting corrupt practices. It is suggested that this American experience might be adapted by international organizations to enhance enforcement of the new public international laws.
Receiverships In The Prison Litigation Context: Factors Necessary For An Effective Judicial Remedy Of Last Resort, Liat Weingart
Receiverships In The Prison Litigation Context: Factors Necessary For An Effective Judicial Remedy Of Last Resort, Liat Weingart
Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
This note examines the effectiveness of judicial receiverships as a last-resort remedy in institutional reform litigation, particularly in the context of prison systems. It argues that the success of receiverships depends on the court's ability to supervise effectively and ensure the receiver's independence from political influence. The analysis highlights that appointing executive agents as receivers often leads to conflicts of interest, undermining the remedy's effectiveness, and emphasizes the need for robust supervisory structures, such as Special Masters, to ensure accountability and alignment with court objectives.
Background Principles, Takings, And Libertarian Property: A Reply To Professor Huffman, J.B. Ruhl, Michael C. Blumm
Background Principles, Takings, And Libertarian Property: A Reply To Professor Huffman, J.B. Ruhl, Michael C. Blumm
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
One of the principal, if unexpected, results of the Supreme Court's 1992 decision in "Lucas v. South Carolina" Coastal Commission is the rise of background principles of property and nuisance law as a categorical defense to takings claims. Our writings on the background principles defense have provoked Professor Huffman, a devoted advocate for an expanded use of regulatory takings to protect landowner development rights, to mistakenly charge us with arguing for the use of common law principles to circumvent the rule of law, Supreme Court intent, and the takings clause. Actually, ours was not a normative brief at all, but …
Punitive Damages In Securities Arbitration: An Empirical Study, Stephen Choi, Theodore Eisenberg
Punitive Damages In Securities Arbitration: An Empirical Study, Stephen Choi, Theodore Eisenberg
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
This article provides the first empirical analysis of punitive damages in securities arbitrations. Using a data set of over 6,800 securities arbitration awards, we find that claimants prevailed in 48.9 percent of arbitrations and that 9.1 percent of those claimant victories included a punitive damages award. The existence of a punitive damages award was associated with claims that suggested egregious misbehavior and with claims that provided higher compensatory awards. The pattern of punitive awards is more consistent with a traditional view of punitive damages that incorporates a retributive component than with a law and economics emphasis on efficient deterrence. We …

Optimal Fines For False Patent Marking, Thomas F. Cotter
Optimal Fines For False Patent Marking, Thomas F. Cotter
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
This Essay proposes that, in order to avoid imposing arbitrary (and perhaps unnecessarily large) fines for false patent marking, courts should seek guidance in the law of remedies for false advertising and copyright infringement. In particular, courts should attempt to approximate the social harm caused by actionable false marking by taking into account (1) the plaintiff's loss (if any) and the defendant's gain (if any) attributable to the false marking at issue; (2) the plausibility of substantial but less easily quantifiable harms to consumers and to nonparty competitors; and (3) the risks, on the one hand, of underdeterring statutory violations …
Sliding Towards Educational Outcomes: A New Remedy For High-Stakes Education Lawsuits In A Post-Nclb World, Christopher A. Suarez
Sliding Towards Educational Outcomes: A New Remedy For High-Stakes Education Lawsuits In A Post-Nclb World, Christopher A. Suarez
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
Sheff v. O'Neill ushered in a new wave of education reform litigation that may challenge the constitutionality of de facto segregation under state education clauses, but its remedy has been inadequate. This Note proposes a new desegregation remedy-the sliding scale remedy-to address socioeconomic isolation in this unique constitutional context. The remedy employs varying degrees of equity power depending on students' academic outcomes. It balances concerns over local control and separation of powers with the court's need to effectuate right, establishes a clear remedial principle, and ensures that states and school districts focus on students as they implement remedies.
Punitive Damages And Class Actions, Francis Mcgovern
Punitive Damages And Class Actions, Francis Mcgovern
Faculty Scholarship
The union of punitive damages and class actions can be aptly described with Samuel Johnson’s famous quotation regarding marriage: “The triumph of hope over experience.” By most conventional wisdom, there is little future for plaintiffs or defendants who desire to resolve punitive damages claims globally using the procedural vehicle of a class action. From a conceptual perspective, however, there are circumstances under which the union could function. This Article explores those possibilities, not in the spirit of normative support, but in the spirit of exploring theories that may have some prospective vitality. Notwithstanding the chilly reception that punitive damages class …

This paper serves to fill that gap, using the history, players, and processes involved as a means to refocus sentencing reform. Part II provides a historical overview of drug sentencing from its conception to its current state. Part III looks at drug sentencing reforms, identifying the players involved and explaining their diverse motivations. Part IV presents lessons learned and proposes a moderate set of normative remedies.
Class Actions In The European Union?: Importing Lessons Learned From The United States' Experience Into European Community Competition Law, Tiffany Chieu
Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
The note argues that the European Union (EU) needs to establish an effective collective redress mechanism to address the challenges faced by victims of anticompetitive practices, who currently struggle to obtain adequate compensation. While the European Commission has proposed opt-in collective redress and representative actions, the note contends that an opt-out mechanism, akin to the U.S. class action system, would better deter wrongdoing and enhance compensation without fostering excessive litigation. The EU can draw lessons from the U.S. experience but must tailor its approach to avoid the pitfalls of a litigious culture.

The statistic of rape cases in Malaysia is obviously increasing since the year 2000-2006.

It is timely to make a research about rape as a brutal crime and also the compensation for victims in Malaysia. The main objective of this research is to suggest a rape compensation system to be practiced in Malaysia, by looking at the principles laid down by Islam as well as by looking to the practices in Western …

There is no specific nas (justification) provided in the Al-Quran and the Al-Sunnah with regards to divorce outside the Court without due permission. However, over the years this ongoing problem has led the scholars to view their justifications on the matter. In view of this, the purpose of this dissertation is to feature the study on divorce cases outside Court and without the Court’s permission and its implementation to Malaysian law specifically in reference to cases from the Syariah Courts in Selangor. The Selangor Islamic Family Law Enactment 1984 for instance, as proposed by the Syariah Court has come up …

This study discusses the issues of harta sepencarian (jointly-accumulated wealth) in the Syariah Court of Singapore. The objectives of this study are to examine the meaning and interpretation of harta sepencarian, and the influence of direct and indirect contributions in determining the amount received by the husband and wife from the harta sepencarian. Although the AMLA has provided general guidelines and interpretation on the factors which need to be taken into consideration when determining the distribution of harta sepencarian, but these guidelines do not distinguish between the main and supporting factors. Through literature studies, case-studies of Court cases and interviews, …
