Slaying The Gerrymander: How Reform Will Happen In The Commonwealth, Brian Cannon, Ben Williams
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
Gerrymandering is a political tool that snuck its way into Virginia politics long ago. It has become problematic over time, threatening true democracy in the Commonwealth. This article outlines what those problems are, how other states reacted to similar issues, and what Virginia politicians have done to respond to gerrymandering. It offers proposed solutions to the issues, and calls upon the Virginia General Assembly and elected governor to take action.
A Reform Long Overdue: Raising Virginia's Felony Grand Larceny Threshold,

A Reform Long Overdue: Raising Virginia's Felony Grand Larceny Threshold, Bill Rice
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
Virginia has one of the lowest felony grand larceny thresholds in the nation. This low threshold has not been adjusted with inflation since 1980 and, thus, results in a high number of felony convictions in the state today. This article examines the current debate surrounding Virginia’s felony grand larceny threshold and presents a remedy that will reasonably man- age the state’ s interests in preventing future larcenies while not unduly punishing citizens for committing minor crimes.
Capital Sentencing For Children In Virginia In The Wake Of Miller V. Alabama And Montgomery V. Louisiana,

Capital Sentencing For Children In Virginia In The Wake Of Miller V. Alabama And Montgomery V. Louisiana, Julie E. Mcconnell
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
Recent United States Supreme Court decisions have declared it unconstitutional to sentence a juvenile to mandatory life in prison without an opportunity for parole. Virginia, a state that abolished parole in 1995, has yet to recognize the federally mandated prohibition against disproportionate punishment imposed on juveniles, particularly in cases where the mandatory minimum sentence is life without parole. This article proposes the General Assembly should amend current laws that reflect the unconstitutionality of these statutes as applied to juveniles.
Amending The Virginia Residential Landlord-Tenant Act Regarding Liability For Bedbug Extermination,

Amending The Virginia Residential Landlord-Tenant Act Regarding Liability For Bedbug Extermination, Lisa Allen
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
An addition to the Virginia Code has caused complications for residential tenants who experience bedbugs in their rental units. A proposed amendment to this law will hold landlords liable for dealing with bedbugs infestations because landlords are in a position that makes them most able to afford treatment. This amendment would also address bedbugs effectively according to scientific research and align with federal housing guidelines.

Sometimes It Takes A Tragedy: How The Death Of A Mentally Ill Inmate May Become A Catalyst For A New Horizon Of Mental Health Reform In Virginia, Snapper Tams
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
This comment recounts a recent tragedy that occurred in the Common- wealth of Virginia that resulted from neglect of a mentally ill inmate in the state’s correctional system. Mentally ill inmates have been long ignored by the Commonwealth as a result of lack of funds and resources available to correctional facilities. The General Assembly has considered legislation that would prevent stories like the one in this comment, but legislators delayed action and prioritized other matters. This comment calls upon the General Assembly to take these tragedies seriously and put mentally ill in- mates on the agenda in 2018.

A Century Of French International Law Scholarship, Emmanuelle Jouannet
Maine Law Review
In this study of contemporary French scholarship in the field of international law, I aimed to reveal its reality at the dawn of the 21st century, but I quickly discovered that it is difficult to understand the current trends in this area of scholarship without first placing French international legal thought in the broader context of the evolution of international law itself. It seems that the increased stature of international law and its considerable expansion since 1945 are both accepted and problematic. This evolution is not problematic in and of itself; the problem lies in the increased interest it arouses …

Joseph Weiler, Eric Stein, And The Transformation Of Constitutional Law, Daniel Halberstam
Book Chapters
This chapter pursues that idea in three parts. Part I reviews the key contributions of The Transformation of Europe. Part II takes us back for a critical analysis of the idea of ‘constitutionalism’ as first developed by Eric Stein and then deployed by Joseph Weiler. On closer inspection, we shall see here that The Transformation of Europe may have neglected a core element of constitutional law, something this chapter terms a ‘generative space’ for law and politics. As this part further explains, recognising this generative element of constitutionalism lies at the heart of the struggle to make sense both practically …

Maine Law Review
Each day when I go to my study, I see a wood block print of two owls gazing at me with unblinking eyes. Ever alert, they remind me of the artist, who in his neat, fine hand, titled the print “Deux Hiboux,” inscribed it to the recipients and signed it simply “FMC 8-2-87.” In addition to his talents as an artist and friend in all seasons, FMC was a remarkable public servant in all three branches of the federal government and, with his friend and colleague Edmund S. Muskie, a creative political reformer for the State of Maine. Throughout his …
