The 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, And 3d Printed Guns, Josh Blackman 2014 University of Tennessee College of Law

The 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, And 3d Printed Guns, Josh Blackman

Tennessee Law Review

We are standing at the dawn of the next great industrial revolution. With 3D printers people can print an infinite number of personalized and customized "things." However, one manifestation of this bold new technology threatens to cast a specter on innovation: 3D printed guns. This Article explores how efforts to regulate, or even ban 3D guns, must satisfy constitutional scrutiny under both the First and Second Amendments.

The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms includes a subsidiary right to acquire arms-what else are you going to keep and bear-which covers both the buyer, and seller in the transaction. …

Constitutional Trespass, Laurent Sacharoff 2014 University of Tennessee College of Law

Constitutional Trespass, Laurent Sacharoff

Tennessee Law Review

The Supreme Court has recently created a trespass test for Fourth Amendment searches without explaining what type of trespass it envisions-one based on the common law of 1791, on the specific trespass law of the state where the search occurred, or on some other trespass principles. Indeed Florida v. Jardines, decided in 2013, raises the question whether the Court has created a trespass test at all, a seeming turnabout that largely recapitulates the Court's 125- year history of confusion in which it has embraced, rejected, or simply ignored trespass as a test from era to era or even year to …

Rethinking Presumed Knowledge Of The Law In The Regulatory Age, Michael Cottone 2014 University of Tennessee College of Law

Rethinking Presumed Knowledge Of The Law In The Regulatory Age, Michael Cottone

Tennessee Law Review

"But the guilty person is only one of the targets of punishment. For punishment is directed above all at others, at all the potentially guilty."


Skepticism About Deterrence, Thomas S. Ulen 2014 Swanlund Chair Emeritus, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Skepticism About Deterrence, Thomas S. Ulen

Loyola University Chicago Law Journal

In this Essay I first review the standard law-and-economics model of how rational potential criminals decide whether to commit a crime, and how rational criminals might be deterred from committing crime by raising the expected costs of crime. I also show how that model has had a deep impact on criminal-justice-system policy in the United States since at least 1980. I then express deep skepticism about the continued effectiveness of this model and its policy implications. First, I show how modern empirical research on deterrence argues that we have gone much too far in our use of incarceration; in brief, …

Anti-Justice, Melanie D. Wilson 2014 University of Tennessee College of Law

Anti-Justice, Melanie D. Wilson

Tennessee Law Review

This Article contends that, despite their unique, ethical duty to "seek justice," prosecutors regularly fail to fulfill this ethical norm when removed from the traditional, adversarial courtroom setting. Examples abound. For instance, in 2013, Edward Snowden leaked classified information revealing a government-operated surveillance program known as PRISM. That program allows the federal government to collect metadata from phone companies and email accounts and to monitor phone conversations. Until recently, prosecutors relied on some of this covertly acquired intelligence to build criminal cases against American citizens without informing the accused. In failing to notify defendants, prosecutors violated the explicit statutory directives …

Educating Athletes Re-Envisioning The Student-Athlete Model, William W. Berry III 2014 University of Tennessee College of Law

Educating Athletes Re-Envisioning The Student-Athlete Model, William W. Berry Iii

Tennessee Law Review

This article contends that if the NCAA and universities are serious about saving the current student-athlete model, then they should double-down on the concept of "student" in the student-athlete model. In particular, this paper suggests that adopting a more realistic approach to educating athletes will benefit both the universities and student-athletes, relieving pressure on the current model and improving educational outcomes.

Specifically, this article argues for a revised student-athlete model. First, the new model would require mandatory six-year scholarships for student-athletes and a reduction in the required academic hours "in-season" from nine to three. The model also mandates that students …
