Carrots, Sticks And Problem Drug Use: The Law Enforcement Lobby's Contribution To The Policy Discourse On Drug Use & The Opioid Crisis, Taleed El-Sabawi 2019 Florida International University College of Law

Carrots, Sticks And Problem Drug Use: The Law Enforcement Lobby's Contribution To The Policy Discourse On Drug Use & The Opioid Crisis, Taleed El-Sabawi

Faculty Publications

Despite the growing support for the idea that problem drug use should be treated like a chronic medical disease, some law enforcement interest groups, including trial court judges associations, prosecuting attorneys associations, and police associations (“law enforcement groups” or “criminal justice actors”), continue to argue for the use of the criminal justice system to address the nation’s drug crises. The justification for the use of the criminal justice system to oversee the psychological and medical treatment of persons with substance use disorders (SUDs) is based on the belief that persons with SUDs are deviants, who cannot refrain from engaging in …

The State Of The Death Penalty, Ankur Desai, Brandon L. Garrett 2019 Duke Law School

The State Of The Death Penalty, Ankur Desai, Brandon L. Garrett

Faculty Scholarship

The death penalty is in decline in America and most death penalty states do not regularly impose death sentences. In 2016 and 2017, states reached modern lows in imposed death sentences, with just thirty-one defendants sentenced to death in 2016 and thirty-nine in 2017, as compared with over three hundred per year in the 1990s. In 2016, only thirteen states imposed death sentences, and in 2017, fourteen did so, although thirty-one states retain the death penalty. What explains this remarkable and quite unexpected trend? In this Article, we present new analysis of state-level legislative changes that might have been expected …

Proactive Resolution Of Sovereign And Subnational Debt, Steven L. Schwarcz 2019 Duke Law School

Proactive Resolution Of Sovereign And Subnational Debt, Steven L. Schwarcz

Faculty Scholarship

Sovereign debt restructuring strategies have been mostly reactive, applying only once a nation’s debt burden becomes unsustainable. Reactive strategies are suboptimal for many reasons, including that international law does not yet provide mechanisms—in the corporate sector, provided by bankruptcy law—for correcting collective action and other market failures that impede the restructuring of sovereign debt. A financially troubled nation often faces a dilemma: paying its debt would reduce its ability to provide critical public services, but defaulting would further damage the nation’s fiscal integrity and reputation and could even shock the broader economy. Building on “proactive” strategies designed to resolve corporate …


Prosecuting In The Shadow Of The Jury, Anna Offit 2019 Southern Methodist University, Dedman School of Law

Prosecuting In The Shadow Of The Jury, Anna Offit

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

This article offers an unprecedented empirical window into prosecutorial discretion drawing on long-term participatory research between 2013 and 2017. The central finding is that jurors play a vital role in federal prosecutors’ decision-making, professional identities, and formulations of justice. This is because even the remote possibility of lay scrutiny creates an opening for prosecutors to make common sense assessments of (1) the evidence in their cases, (2) the character of witnesses, defendants and victims, and (3) their own moral and professional character as public servants. By facilitating explicit consideration of the fairness of their cases from a public vantage point, …


A “Critical” Question Of State Law: Georgia’S Ambiguous Treatment Of Initial Appearance Hearings And Implications Of Bail Reform, Anne Miller Reynolds 2019 University of Georgia School of Law

A “Critical” Question Of State Law: Georgia’S Ambiguous Treatment Of Initial Appearance Hearings And Implications Of Bail Reform, Anne Miller Reynolds

Georgia Law Review

The Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees criminal defendants the right to counsel at critical stages of a proceeding. While the U.S. Supreme Court has not addressed whether initial bail hearings are critical stages of a proceeding, several states have elected to provide greater protection for criminal defendants by holding that bail hearings are critical stages. However, Georgia has avoided this question, as Georgia has held that initial appearance hearings, in which questions of bail are often decided, are “not often” critical stages of a proceeding. Logically, it follows that initial appearance hearings must sometimes be critical stages of …


Education Under Fire?: An Analysis Of Campus Carry And University Autonomy In Georgia, Brooke Anne Carrington 2019 University of Georgia School of Law

Education Under Fire?: An Analysis Of Campus Carry And University Autonomy In Georgia, Brooke Anne Carrington

Georgia Law Review

In 2017, Georgia’s controversial campus carry bill was signed into law despite protest from the state’s Board of Regents, university officials, and students. Georgia is one of ten states that has implemented campus carry. Georgia’s campus carry statute is unique in that it may conflict with Georgia’s Constitution, which vests the powers of “government, control, and management” of the University System of Georgia in the Board of Regents. Georgia courts have not yet addressed what this provision of the Constitution means. This Note applies general principles of constitutional interpretation to the provision.

This Note analyzes the framers’ intent when drafting …


Carrying Capacity: Should Georgia Enact Surrogacy Regulation?, Madeline Mae Neel 2019 University of Georgia School of Law

Carrying Capacity: Should Georgia Enact Surrogacy Regulation?, Madeline Mae Neel

Georgia Law Review

While modern gestational surrogacy technology has existed for almost forty years, surrogacy is viewed as a matter of state law because the United States has yet to regulate it at the federal level. Many have advocated for either federal legislation or their own individual states to enact legislation addressing surrogacy, but Georgia is one of many states that still lacks any laws regulating—or even mentioning—surrogacy agreements. To make the process more uncertain for couples contemplating surrogacy, Georgia also lacks any case law that could provide parties to surrogacy agreements with guidance on how to proceed or how any dispute may …


St. Louis Vacancy Collaborative: 2019-2021 Work Plan, Dana M. Malkus 2019 Saint Louis University School of Law

St. Louis Vacancy Collaborative: 2019-2021 Work Plan, Dana M. Malkus

All Faculty Scholarship

Our City has a serious vacant property challenge. To effectively address vacancy, we must understand and respond to the factors that cause and perpetuate it. Much of the story of vacancy in our city, like other cities, includes a legacy of racism, disinvestment, and disengagement that has led to a breakdown in trust. We know that vacancy can result from incomplete foreclosure, bankruptcy, prolonged probate or lack of proper probate, investors with little incentive to care, judgment proof owners, bank ownership, lack of resources to repair or redevelop, lack of value, the foreclosure crisis, sprawl and weak markets.1 In …


Administrative States: Beyond Presidential Administration, Jessica Bulman-Pozen 2019 Columbia Law School

Administrative States: Beyond Presidential Administration, Jessica Bulman-Pozen

Faculty Scholarship

Presidential administration is more entrenched and expansive than ever. Most significant policymaking comes from agency action rather than legislation. Courts endorse “the presence of Presidential power” in agency decisionmaking. Scholars give up on external checks and balances and take presidential direction as a starting point. Yet presidential administration is also quite fragile. Even as the Court embraces presidential control, it has been limiting the administrative domain over which the President presides. And when Presidents drive agency action in a polarized age, their policies are not only immediately contested but also readily reversed by their successors.

States complicate each piece of …
