Tennessee’S Unique Religious Protections In Employment: Do They Mean What They Say?, Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr., Brian A. Pierce
Tennessee’S Unique Religious Protections In Employment: Do They Mean What They Say?, Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr., Brian A. Pierce
Belmont Law Review
Tennessee has a long history of strongly held and diverse religious beliefs and practices. Equally firmly established is its “at-will” employment rule that allows businesses to create and control their workforces to maximize operations and profits to the benefit of employers and employees. When an employee’s religious beliefs conflict with his obligations to his employer, state and federal laws resolve the tension. Employees who experience this tension and feel they have been discriminated against based on their religion generally have the choice to bring their claims of discrimination under federal law, state law, or both. Because claims under federal law …

Medicaid Expansion By Any Other Name: Exploring The Feasibility Of Expanded Access To Care In The Wake Of Nfib V. Sebelius, Michele Johnson, Kristin Ware
Belmont Law Review
This Article will examine aspects of the Tennessee Plan for Medicaid coverage in order to make the argument that Tennessee must either accept the Medicaid expansion as codified in the Affordable Care Act, or make modifications to the Tennessee Plan that better comport with the federal waiver program, the central goals of Medicaid, the United States Constitution, and the spirit of cooperative federalism.
Judicial Selection In Tennessee: Deciding “The Decider”, Margaret L. Behm, Candi Henry
Judicial Selection In Tennessee: Deciding “The Decider”, Margaret L. Behm, Candi Henry
Belmont Law Review
This article includes an overview of judicial selection in Tennessee, as well as providing the author's personal perspectives on the subject. The quality of judges and the manner of selecting them matters; this is a basic premise underpinning the rule of law in the United States. From the inception of the United States’ democratic system, the judiciary’s Damoclean Sword has been the threat of subrogation at the hands of the Legislature, and perhaps the easiest way to rattle the sword has been to legislatively interfere with judicial selection — whether by changing the manner of appointment or by simply refusing …

Belmont Law Review
This Note analyzes the MDMA drug equivalency ratio under the current Guidelines and argues that the ratio is based on incomplete and inaccurate information.

Part II discusses the rise of MDMA and the legislative response.

Whose Rights Should Prevail? Toward A Child-Centric Approach To Revocation Of Birthparent Consent In Domestic Infant Abortion, David L. Thibodeaux
Whose Rights Should Prevail? Toward A Child-Centric Approach To Revocation Of Birthparent Consent In Domestic Infant Abortion, David L. Thibodeaux
Belmont Law Review
Though overhaul of adoption laws across the United States has been nearly universal, there is still no uniformity among the states in approach to voluntary relinquishment of parental rights: the very issue at the heart of the controversial cases that sparked reform. This Note attempts to track the development of domestic adoption laws as they affect birthparent consent in infant adoptions, the competing policies driving these developments, and the way states have attempted to reconcile that friction. Part I of this Note provides an underpinning of adoption terminology by outlining the actors involved, the basic elements required for infant adoption …
Proactive Protection: How The Idea Can Better Address The Behavioral Problems Of Children With Disabilities In Schools, Patrick Ober
Proactive Protection: How The Idea Can Better Address The Behavioral Problems Of Children With Disabilities In Schools, Patrick Ober
Belmont Law Review
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (“IDEA”) needs to be amended to proactively promote positive behavioral interventions and reduce unnecessary and highly dangerous uses of restraint and seclusion. The IDEA purports to advance these goals, but in reality the relevant provisions of the IDEA require behavioral plans only as a reactionary measure to violent or disruptive behavior. This Note proposes an amendment to the IDEA to address these problems proactively.
Reforming Tennessee's Rules Of Appellate Procedure: Separate Notices Of Appeal...Or Not?, Robert F. Parsley, Travis R. Mcdonough, Marcia M. Eason
Reforming Tennessee's Rules Of Appellate Procedure: Separate Notices Of Appeal...Or Not?, Robert F. Parsley, Travis R. Mcdonough, Marcia M. Eason
Belmont Law Review
When it comes to the filing of separate notices of appeal, Tennessee’s Rules of Appellate Procedure contain an internal inconsistency. This inconsistency, which has yielded two conflicting and incompatible lines of judicial interpretation, undermines the coherence of Tennessee appellate procedure and poses unfairly contradictory outcomes for similarly situated appellants. To resolve this inconsistency, Tennessee’s Rules of Appellate Procedure should be reformed.

"Made-Whole" Made Fair: A Proposal To Modify Subrogation In Tennessee Tort Actions, John A. Day
Belmont Law Review
This Article proposes the adoption of the “Modified Made-Whole Doctrine Proposal." Part I begins by explaining the roots of the law of subrogation rights and its current jurisprudential inconsistencies. It also explores the relationship between such subrogation rights and the made-whole doctrine in the context of Tennessee tort law as well as how this doctrine would be applied in Tennessee today. Part II briefly outlines some of the general questions regarding Tennessee’s current application of the made-whole doctrine, particularly the unresolved issues surrounding the impact of comparative fault on subrogation rights. These are questions which the author’s suggested Proposal is …
The Future Of Ediscovery In Tennessee, Roe Frazer, Marc Jenkins
The Future Of Ediscovery In Tennessee, Roe Frazer, Marc Jenkins
Belmont Law Review
This Article begins by outlining changes in the modern digital world through an examination of essential laws of computing unfamiliar to most lawyers but crucial to an understanding of the changing landscape of technology and its projected impact on modern society. Part II then applies these principles to the practice of law in the context of electronic discovery, pointing to the challenges posed under the current Rules of Civil Procedure, an ever-increasing overabundance of discoverable data, and the inadequacy of existing technology and processes possessed by the typical lawyer to deal with these challenges. Finally, Part III of this Article …
What Might Have Been: 25 Years Of Robert Bork On The United States Supreme Court, Benjamin Pomerance
What Might Have Been: 25 Years Of Robert Bork On The United States Supreme Court, Benjamin Pomerance
Belmont Law Review
This Article tries to briefly attempt an answer to what would have happened if Robert Bork had sat on the Supreme Court bench. Part I examines the backgrounds of Judge Bork and Justice Kennedy, and then studies some of the major cases decided by the Court in four key areas — abortion, freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, and civil rights — during the last twenty-five years. Part II then evaluates the voting record of Justice Kennedy in these cases, as well as the views held by Judge Bork — based on Bork’s own writings, on opinions that …
