The M Word, Tamara L. Kuennen

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

The push to incorporate mindfulness into the practice of law is gaining traction. Defined as "paying attention, on purpose, to the present moment, non-judgmentally," mindfulness can be both a state of being (a reaction to a given situation or moment in time as a calm observer of what is happening within it) as well as a trait of being (a larger approach to all of life's moments; a perspective). This Idea more fully defines mindfulness and its value to the practice and teaching of law, and it shows how clinical law professors in particular have embraced mindfulness as a core …

The legal profession tends to look inward and backward when faced with crisis and uncertainty. The legal profession could make greater advances by looking outward and forward to find in society and culture the causes of and connections with the legal profession’s crises. Doing so would allow the profession to grow with society, solve problems with rather than against the flow of society, and be more attuned to the society the profession claims to serve.

Clapper V. Amnesty International: Two Or Three Competing Philosophies Of Standing Law?, Bradford C. Mank 2014 University of Tennessee College of Law

Clapper V. Amnesty International: Two Or Three Competing Philosophies Of Standing Law?, Bradford C. Mank

Tennessee Law Review

In its 2013 decision Clapper v. Amnesty International, the United States Supreme Court invoked separation-of-powers principles by holding that public interest groups alleging that the Government was spying on their foreign clients failed to demonstrate Article III standing because they could not prove that the future surveillance injury that they purportedly feared was "certainly impending." Justice Breyer's dissenting opinion argued that "commonsense" suggested that the Government was spying on the plaintiffs' foreign clients and proposed a "reasonable" or "high" probability standing test. Implicitly, the Clapper decision also presented a third approach to standing decisions. In footnote 5 of the opinion, …

Buying The American Dream: Using Immigration Law To Bolster The Housing Market, Kit Johnson 2014 University of Tennessee College of Law

Buying The American Dream: Using Immigration Law To Bolster The Housing Market, Kit Johnson

Tennessee Law Review

Escaping notice in debate about immigration reform is a proposal that would give residency visas to foreign nationals on the condition that they buy an expensive home. Proponents see visas as a simple way to shore up the U.S. housing market. Yet complications abound. This Article scrutinizes the history, logic, economics, and morals of the proposed homebuyer visa, as well as its intersection with state laws that restrict foreign ownership of land.

Could Windsor Revive Federalism? The States' Right To Protect Citizens Following Doma's Demise, Mark A. Fulks, Ronald S. Range III 2014 University of Tennessee College of Law

Could Windsor Revive Federalism? The States' Right To Protect Citizens Following Doma's Demise, Mark A. Fulks, Ronald S. Range Iii

Tennessee Law Review

The United States Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Windsor was perhaps the most anticipated decision of the October 2012 Term. By invalidating the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the Court settled one hotly debated issue. But the Court's rationale gives rise to a litany of questions. Under the rubric of the Fifth Amendment, the Court invalidated a federal statute that denied certain citizens the right to liberty, which was rooted in the state's definition of marriage, and the equal dignity the state sought to protect. In doing so, the Court announced a new test to determine where supreme …

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.
