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.

Section 702 And The Collection Of International Telephone And Internet Content, Laura K. Donohue

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) authorizes the NSA to collect the electronic communications of non-U.S. targets located overseas. Recent media reports and declassified documents reveal a more extensive program than publicly understood. The article begins by considering the origins of the current programs and the relevant authorities, particularly the transfer of part of the post-9/11 President’s Surveillance Program to FISA. It outlines the contours of the 2007 Protect America Act, before its replacement in 2008 by the FISA Amendments Act (FAA). The section ends with a brief discussion of the current state of foreign intelligence collection …

Racketeering After Morrison: Extraterritorial Application Of Civil Rico, Daniel Hoppe

Northwestern University Law Review

In Morrison v. National Australia Bank Ltd., the Supreme Court set forth a framework to identify the extraterritorial reach of a federal statute. The Supreme Court required that a statute demonstrate congressional intent to apply to extraterritorial conduct. Under this framework, federal courts have found that civil RICO does not apply to extraterritorial conduct. However, the courts have been inconsistent in their analysis of RICO under Morrison. Some courts have found that RICO does not apply to extraterritorial enterprises while others have found that RICO does not apply to extraterritorial conduct. But the courts have been consistent in …

Reasonable Expectations Of Privacy Settings: Social Media And The Stored Communications Act, Christopher J. Borchert, Fernando M. Pinguelo, David Thaw

Duke Law & Technology Review

In 1986, Congress passed the Stored Communications Act (“SCA”) to provide additional protections for individuals’ private communications content held in electronic storage by third parties. Acting out of direct concern for the implications of the Third-Party Records Doctrine—a judicially created doctrine that generally eliminates Fourth Amendment protections for information entrusted to third parties—Congress sought to tailor the SCA to electronic communications sent via and stored by third parties. Yet, because Congress crafted the SCA with language specific to the technology of 1986, courts today have struggled to apply the SCA consistently with regard to similar private content sent using different …

Survey Of State Civil Shoplifting Statutes, Ryan Sullivan

Nebraska College of Law: Faculty Publications

Acts of shoplifting cost retailers billions of dollars each year. In an effort to reduce the frequency and economic impact of this type of theft, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have enacted civil shoplifting statutes. These statutes, which operate independently of and in addition to the respective state’s criminal statutes, provide retailers a special civil remedy against individuals who shoplift from their stores. Most civil shoplifting statutes permit a retailer to recover from the shoplifter not only the actual damages suffered as a result of the incident of shoplifting, but also a substantial civil penalty. In Mississippi, …
