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 …

What Jurors Want To Know: Motivating Juror Cognition To Increase Legal Knowledge & Improve Decisionmaking, Sara Gordon 2014 University of Tennessee College of Law

What Jurors Want To Know: Motivating Juror Cognition To Increase Legal Knowledge & Improve Decisionmaking, Sara Gordon

Tennessee Law Review

What do jurors want to know? Jury research tells us that jurors want to understand the information they hear in a trial so they can reach the correct decision. But like all people, jurors who are asked to analyze information in a trial-even jurors who consciously want to reach a fair and accurate verdict-are unconsciously influenced by their internal goals and motivations. Some of these motives are specific to individual jurors; for instance, a potential juror with a financial interest in a case would be excluded from the jury pool. But other motivations, like the motive to understand the law …
