Law, Growth, And The Identity Hurdle: A Theory Of Legal Reform, Martin W. Sybblis
Law, Growth, And The Identity Hurdle: A Theory Of Legal Reform, Martin W. Sybblis
Faculty Articles
This Article offers a new theoretical approach to understanding resistance to legal change in the corporate and commercial context by introducing the sociological concept of "community economic identity" (CEI) into legal scholarship. I argue that community leaders (typically, but not exclusively, from the political, legal, and business spheres) generate public and recognizable identities-e.g., "Coal Country" or "Motor City"-with respect to some commercial activities.

CEI complicates the prevailing public choice narrative regarding the influence of special interests in the law reform process. …

The Attrition Of Rights Under Parole, Tonja Jacobi, Song Richardson, Gregory Barr
Faculty Articles
We conduct a detailed doctrinal and empirical study of the adverse effects of parole on the constitutional rights of both individual parolees and the communities in which they live. We show that parolees' Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights have been eroded by a multitude of punitive conditions endorsed by the courts. Punitive parole conditions actually increase parolees' vulnerability to criminal elements, and thus likely worsen recidivism. Simultaneously, the parole system broadly undermines the rights of nonparolees, including family members, cotenants, and communities. We show that police target parolee-dense neighborhoods for additional Terry stops, even when income, race, population, and …
