Several situations cause a case to be moot. These include settlement agreements, party collusion, changes in litigant status, and extrinsic circumstances thwarting the court from granting any relief. The final reason is unilateral mootness—when a defendant ends a lawsuit against a plaintiff’s wishes by giving them everything for which they ask. In practice, this allows defendants to strategically stop lawsuits when it is clear they are not going to win. By doing so, they prevent the court from handing down adverse precedent and preserve the opportunity to engage in similar behavior with impunity. Courts have established a series of mootness exceptions to limit such gamesmanship. These exceptions are based on vague standards, which do little to guide judges making mootness decisions. The result is that some cases are heard on the merits, while other, nearly identical ones are dismissed. Unilateral mootness fails as a prudential doctrine. It struggles to limit disparate outcomes, prevent defendant gamesmanship, or save judicial resources, and alternative solutions do not fully address these three problems. This Note argues that the best recourse is to scrap unilateral mootness completely. Barring a settlement, collusion, or impossibility of relief, judges should never dismiss a case as moot.
有几种情况会导致案件没有实际意义。这些包括和解协议、当事人串通、诉讼身份的改变,以及阻碍法院给予任何救济的外在情况。最后一个原因是单方面的不确定性——当被告违背原告的意愿结束诉讼,给予原告所要求的一切。在实践中,这允许被告在明显不会赢的情况下策略性地停止诉讼。通过这样做,他们防止法院做出不利的先例,并保留了从事类似行为而不受惩罚的机会。法院已经建立了一系列的情绪例外来限制这种游戏。这些例外是基于模糊的标准,这对指导法官做出有意义的决定几乎没有帮助。结果是,一些案件是根据案情审理的,而另一些几乎相同的案件则被驳回。单边情绪作为审慎原则是失败的。它努力限制不同的结果,防止被告耍花招,或节省司法资源,而替代解决方案并不能完全解决这三个问题。本文认为,最好的解决办法是完全放弃单边情绪。除非达成和解、共谋或无法获得救济,否则法官绝不应将案件视为没有实际意义而不予受理。

Error Aversions and Due Process 避免错误和正当程序
IF 2.7 2区 社会学 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-01-01 DOI: 10.36644/mlr.121.5.error
Brandon L. Garrett, G. Mitchell
William Blackstone famously expressed the view that convicting the innocent constitutes a much more serious error than acquitting the guilty. This view is the cornerstone of due process protections for those accused of crimes, giving rise to the presumption of innocence and the high burden of proof required for criminal convictions. While most legal elites share Blackstone’s view, the citizen jurors tasked with making due process protections a reality do not share the law’s preference for false acquittals over false convictions. Across multiple national surveys sampling more than 12,000 people, we find that a majority of Americans consider false acquittals and false convictions to be errors of equal magnitude. Contrary to Blackstone, most people are unwilling to err on the side of letting the guilty go free to avoid convicting the innocent. Indeed, a sizeable minority view false acquittals as worse than false convictions; this group is willing to convict multiple innocent persons to avoid letting one guilty person go free. These value differences translate into behavioral differences: we show in multiple studies that jury-eligible adults who reject Blackstone’s view are more accepting of prosecution evidence and are more conviction-prone than the minority of potential jurors who agree with Blackstone. These findings have important implications for our understanding of due process and criminal justice policy. Due process currently depends on jurors faithfully following instructions on the burden of proof, but many jurors are not inclined to hold the state to its high burden. Courts should do away with the fiction that the reasonable doubt standard guarantees due process and consider protections that do not depend on jurors honoring the law’s preference for false acquittals, such as more stringent pretrial screening of criminal cases and stricter limits on prosecution evidence. Further, the fact that many people place crime control on par with, or above, the need to avoid wrongful convictions helps explain divisions in public opinion on important policy questions like bail and sentencing reform. Criminal justice proposals that emphasize deontic concerns without addressing consequentialist concerns are unlikely to garner widespread support.
威廉·布莱克斯通(William Blackstone)有一个著名的观点,即判定无辜者有罪比宣告有罪要严重得多。这一观点是为被控犯罪的人提供正当程序保护的基石,导致了无罪推定和刑事定罪所需的高额举证责任。虽然大多数法律精英都赞同布莱克斯通的观点,但负责实现正当程序保护的公民陪审员并不赞同法律对虚假无罪释放的偏好,而不是虚假定罪。在对超过1.2万人进行的多项全国性调查中,我们发现,大多数美国人认为虚假无罪释放和虚假定罪是同等严重的错误。与布莱克斯通相反,大多数人都不愿意为了避免让无辜者定罪而放了有罪的人。事实上,相当多的少数人认为虚假无罪释放比虚假定罪更糟糕;这个组织愿意给多个无辜的人定罪,以避免让一个有罪的人逍遥法外。这些价值差异转化为行为差异:我们在多项研究中表明,与少数同意布莱克斯通观点的潜在陪审员相比,反对布莱克斯通观点的符合陪审团资格的成年人更容易接受检方证据,也更容易定罪。这些发现对我们理解正当程序和刑事司法政策具有重要意义。正当程序目前取决于陪审员忠实地遵循关于举证责任的指示,但许多陪审员并不倾向于要求州政府承担高昂的举证责任。法院应该摒弃合理怀疑标准保证正当程序的幻想,并考虑不依赖于陪审员遵守法律对虚假无罪释放的偏好的保护措施,例如更严格的刑事案件审前筛选和对控方证据的更严格限制。此外,许多人认为控制犯罪与避免错误定罪同等重要,甚至更重要,这一事实有助于解释公众在保释和量刑改革等重要政策问题上的分歧。强调道义问题而不解决结果主义问题的刑事司法提案不太可能获得广泛支持。

Justice Without Power: Yemen and The Global Legal System 没有权力的正义:也门与全球法律体系
IF 2.7 2区 社会学 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-01-01 DOI: 10.36644/mlr.121.5.justice
Amulya Vadapalli
The war in Yemen has remained the world’s worst humanitarian crisis since 2015, and yet it is shockingly invisible. The global legal system fails to offer a clear avenue through which the Yemeni people can hold the state actors responsible for their harm accountable. This Note analyzes international legal mechanisms for vindicating war crimes and human rights abuses perpetrated in Yemen. Through the lens of Yemen’s humanitarian crisis, it highlights gaps in the global legal structure, proposes alternative accountability processes, and uses a variety of sources—including interviews with practitioners and Arabic language legal scholarship—to explicate a victim-centered transitional justice process for the Yemeni people.
自2015年以来,也门战争一直是世界上最严重的人道主义危机,但令人震惊的是,它是无形的。全球法律体系未能提供一条明确的途径,使也门人民能够追究对他们的伤害负有责任的国家行为者的责任。本说明分析为在也门犯下的战争罪和侵犯人权行为辩护的国际法律机制。通过也门人道主义危机的镜头,它突出了全球法律结构中的差距,提出了可替代的问责程序,并使用各种来源-包括对从业者的访谈和阿拉伯语法律奖学金-为也门人民阐明了以受害者为中心的过渡司法程序。

Revisiting the “Tradition of Local Control” in Public Education 重新审视公共教育中的“地方控制传统”
2区 社会学 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-01-01 DOI: 10.36644/mlr.122.1.revisiting
Carter Brace
In Milliken v. Bradley, the Supreme Court declared “local control” the single most important tradition of public education. Milliken and other related cases developed this notion of a tradition, which has frustrated attempts to achieve equitable school funding and desegregation through federal courts. However, despite its significant impact on American education, most scholars have treated the “tradition of local control” as doctrinally insignificant. These scholars depict the tradition either as a policy preference with no formal legal meaning or as one principle among many that courts may use to determine equitable remedies. This Note argues that the Supreme Court conceived of the tradition not merely as good policy or remedial law but as a principle that was supported by multiple freestanding constitutional provisions. It shows how the policy and remedial law explanations for the tradition do not fully explain the Court’s reasoning. It then demonstrates that the Court located the tradition in the federal Constitution’s guarantees of substantive due process, the right to vote, federalism, and the separation of powers.
在米利肯诉布拉德利案中,最高法院宣布“地方控制”是公共教育唯一最重要的传统。米利肯和其他相关案件发展了这种传统的概念,这种传统使通过联邦法院实现公平的学校资助和废除种族隔离的努力受挫。然而,尽管它对美国教育产生了重大影响,但大多数学者认为“地方控制传统”在理论上是微不足道的。这些学者将这一传统描述为一种没有正式法律意义的政策偏好,或者是法院可能用来确定公平救济的众多原则之一。本说明认为,最高法院认为这一传统不仅是好的政策或补救性法律,而且是一项得到多项独立宪法条款支持的原则。它表明,对传统的政策和补救法解释如何不能充分解释法院的推理。然后,它表明法院将传统置于联邦宪法对实质性正当程序、投票权、联邦制和三权分立的保障中。

The Oligarchic Courthouse: Jurisdiction, Corporate Power, and Democratic Decline 寡头法院:管辖权、公司权力和民主衰落

Jurisdiction is foundational to the exercise of judicial power. It is precisely for this reason that subject matter jurisdiction, the species of judicial power that gives a court authority to resolve a dispute, has today come to the center of a struggle between corporate litigants and the regulatory state. In a pronounced trend, corporations are using jurisdictional maneuvers to manipulate forum choice. Along the way, they are wearing out less-resourced parties, circumventing hearings on the merits, and insulating themselves from laws that seek to govern their behavior. Corporations have done so by making creative arguments to lock plaintiffs out of court and push them into arbitration, and failing that, to lock plaintiffs into federal court rather than state court, or to punt federal cases to administrative agencies that may lack the power or will to resolve the underlying issues in the case. These efforts have largely been successful. This Article offers a panoramic view of how over recent decades federal courts have acquiesced in a corporate-driven effort to leverage jurisdictional doctrines to their unique private advantage, and contends that together, these doctrinal changes constitute an inflection point in U.S. law and procedure. We argue that corporate adjudicatory practice has slanted judicial power in favor of deregulatory efforts that undermine legal commitments to equality, dignity, and participation. The shifts in jurisdiction, which may seem to be merely technical and apolitical, are a core part of the architecture of what we call the oligarchic courthouse—one where courts as public institutions transform their procedures to meet private, corporate interests at the expense of public goals, thereby cementing economic power and translating it into concentrated political power that undermines the possibility of robust democratic life. The trends we describe in federal subject matter jurisdiction resonate with earlier corporate battles at the turn of the twentieth century. But the construction of today’s oligarchic courthouse holds implications for democracy that are not simply a reprise of earlier corporate efforts. To show the scope of the implications, the Article steps back and clarifies why jurisdiction matters to democracy. Drawing on law and social mobilization literature, we argue that jurisdiction functions as a political resource that facilitates opportunities for democratic contestation and both reflects and shapes the openness and closedness of the state. Having centered jurisdiction in a larger account of democracy, we explore how the oligarchic courthouse, by entrenching economic power and narrowing participatory options for workers, consumers, and other less-resourced litigants, can be nested in a larger account of democratic decline in the United States.
管辖权是司法权行使的基础。正是由于这个原因,客体管辖权,即赋予法院解决纠纷权力的司法权,今天已经成为公司诉讼当事人与监管国家之间斗争的中心。在一个明显的趋势中,公司正在利用管辖权来操纵论坛的选择。在此过程中,他们正在消耗资源较少的政党,回避对案情的听证会,并使自己免受试图管理其行为的法律的约束。公司的做法是提出创造性的理由,将原告排除在法庭之外,并将他们推向仲裁,如果做不到这一点,就将原告锁定在联邦法院而不是州法院,或者将联邦案件推给可能缺乏权力或意愿来解决案件中潜在问题的行政机构。这些努力在很大程度上是成功的。本文提供了近几十年来联邦法院如何默许公司驱动的努力,以利用司法理论为其独特的私人优势的全景视图,并认为,这些理论变化共同构成了美国法律和程序的拐点。我们认为,公司审判实践使司法权倾向于放松管制的努力,这破坏了对平等、尊严和参与的法律承诺。司法权的转移,可能看起来仅仅是技术性和非政治性的,是我们所说的寡头法院架构的核心部分——法院作为公共机构,以牺牲公共目标为代价,改变他们的程序来满足私人和公司的利益,从而巩固了经济权力,并将其转化为集中的政治权力,从而破坏了健全民主生活的可能性。我们在联邦主体管辖权中描述的趋势与二十世纪之交的早期公司之争产生了共鸣。但是,今天寡头法院的构建对民主的影响并不仅仅是早期企业努力的重演。为了显示其影响的范围,该条退后一步,澄清了为什么司法管辖权对民主很重要。根据法律和社会动员文献,我们认为司法权作为一种政治资源发挥作用,促进了民主竞争的机会,既反映又塑造了国家的开放性和封闭性。将管辖权集中在更大范围的民主中,我们将探讨寡头法院如何通过巩固经济权力和缩小工人、消费者和其他资源较少的诉讼当事人的参与选择,来嵌入美国民主衰落的更大范围。

Pocket Police: The Plain Feel Doctrine Thirty Years Later 袖珍警察:三十年后的平原主义
IF 2.7 2区 社会学 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-01-01 DOI: 10.36644/mlr.121.5.pocket

The idea that a police officer can park in a low-income neighborhood, pull someone over because of their race, frisk everyone in the car, let them go if their pockets are empty, and do the whole thing over and over again until the officer finds something illegal seems deeply upsetting and violative, to say the least. And yet, pretextual traffic stops are constitutional per a unanimous Supreme Court in Whren v. United States, 517 U.S. 806 (1996), as is seizing obvious contraband during a frisk per Minnesota v. Dickerson, 508 U.S. 366 (1993). In the thirty years since these cases were decided, their disproportionate impact on minority communities has become clear, and yet courts have struggled to place meaningful limits on officer discretion. Amid the growing national conversation on police practices, this Note analyzes the role of Dickerson’s plain feel doctrine, which permits an officer to seize contraband during a frisk so long as the illicit nature of the item is immediately apparent upon “plain feel.” First, it reviews the doctrine as it was established in Dickerson and traces its roots to understand the rationale behind the ruling. Second, it identifies the key factors state and federal courts consider when applying Dickerson and demonstrates that courts presented with similar facts routinely come to conflicting conclusions. Third, this Note assesses the ways modern plain feel doctrine is in tension with core Fourth Amendment principles and argues that, in the thirty years since Dickerson, it has quietly become an ever-broadening loophole enabling the ongoing targeting of minority populations. As calls to address inequitable policing grow louder, the plain feel doctrine is a crucial site for reform.
一名警察可以把车停在低收入社区,因为种族原因让某人靠边停车,对车里的每个人搜身,如果他们的口袋是空的就放他们走,一遍又一遍地做这一切,直到警察发现一些违法的东西,这种想法至少可以说是非常令人沮丧和违法的。然而,根据最高法院在Whren v. United States案(517 U.S. 806)(1996)中一致通过的裁决,借口的交通拦截是符合宪法的,正如明尼苏达州诉迪克森案(508 U.S. 366)(1993)中在搜身时扣押明显违禁品也是符合宪法的。在这些案件判决后的30年里,它们对少数族裔社区不成比例的影响已经变得很明显,但法院一直在努力对官员的自由裁量权施加有意义的限制。在越来越多的关于警察行为的全国性讨论中,本文分析了迪克森的朴素感觉原则的作用,该原则允许警察在搜身时扣押违禁品,只要该物品的非法性质在“朴素感觉”上立即显现出来。首先,它回顾了在迪克森案中确立的原则,并追溯其根源,以理解裁决背后的基本原理。其次,它确定了州法院和联邦法院在适用迪克森案时考虑的关键因素,并表明法院在面对类似事实时通常会得出相互矛盾的结论。第三,本报告评估了现代平心原则与第四修正案核心原则之间的紧张关系,并认为,自迪克森案以来的30年里,它已悄然成为一个不断扩大的漏洞,使少数民族人口成为持续的目标。随着要求解决不公平警务问题的呼声越来越高,“平心”原则是改革的关键所在。
{"title":"Pocket Police: The Plain Feel Doctrine Thirty Years Later","authors":"Kelly Recker","doi":"10.36644/mlr.121.5.pocket","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36644/mlr.121.5.pocket","url":null,"abstract":"The idea that a police officer can park in a low-income neighborhood, pull someone over because of their race, frisk everyone in the car, let them go if their pockets are empty, and do the whole thing over and over again until the officer finds something illegal seems deeply upsetting and violative, to say the least. And yet, pretextual traffic stops are constitutional per a unanimous Supreme Court in Whren v. United States, 517 U.S. 806 (1996), as is seizing obvious contraband during a frisk per Minnesota v. Dickerson, 508 U.S. 366 (1993). In the thirty years since these cases were decided, their disproportionate impact on minority communities has become clear, and yet courts have struggled to place meaningful limits on officer discretion. Amid the growing national conversation on police practices, this Note analyzes the role of Dickerson’s plain feel doctrine, which permits an officer to seize contraband during a frisk so long as the illicit nature of the item is immediately apparent upon “plain feel.” First, it reviews the doctrine as it was established in Dickerson and traces its roots to understand the rationale behind the ruling. Second, it identifies the key factors state and federal courts consider when applying Dickerson and demonstrates that courts presented with similar facts routinely come to conflicting conclusions. Third, this Note assesses the ways modern plain feel doctrine is in tension with core Fourth Amendment principles and argues that, in the thirty years since Dickerson, it has quietly become an ever-broadening loophole enabling the ongoing targeting of minority populations. As calls to address inequitable policing grow louder, the plain feel doctrine is a crucial site for reform.","PeriodicalId":47790,"journal":{"name":"Michigan Law Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69686581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
