Litigation and Delay at Guantánamo Bay
No full textThis article explores litigation delays occurring at the Guantámo Bay Naval Base. The author uses his clients to illustrate some of the issues that have arisen with overseas detention cases. Through his clients’ experience of detainment for over five years without being charged with a crime, he discusses the many roadblocks the United States government employs to delay litigation. The author also describes both the toll these delays take on not only the detainees’ physical and mental health, but also the rule of law in the United States.

NJBankers 2017-18 Economic Survey: Final Anaylsis and Report of Survey Results
No full textUnder the direction of James Hughes, the Bloustein School surveyed all 92 member institutions of the New Jersey Bankers Association and received a 73 percent response rate.
This year’s survey results indicate a soaring confidence in the US economy. Nearly 85 percent of respondents indicated the national economy’s health as “good,” and a record 10 percent rated it as “excellent.” For the first time in the survey’s history, no one rated it as “poor.” While somewhat more muted than sentiments toward the national economy, confidence in the NJ economy is nonetheless surging. 42 percent of respondents rated New Jersey’s economic health as “good” in 2018, compared to 15 percent in 2016. Still, 2018 marks the eighth consecutive year in which no respondent has rated New Jersey’s economy as “excellent.”Survey conducted for New Jersey Bankers Association by Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. Field period: February 26-April 20, 2018. Published May, 2018

An Empirical Critique of JCAR and the Legislative Veto in Illinois
No full textThis Article collects and analyzes nearly four decades’ worth of data concerning the legislative oversight of administrative agency rulemaking in Illinois. Its chief purpose is to assess the efficacy of the state’s legislative veto scheme. In particular, the Article focuses on the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (“JCAR”), a bipartisan legislative committee that is authorized to review rules produced by administrative agencies in the executive branch. Since late 2004, JCAR has possessed veto power over agency rulemaking, meaning the committee may permanently stop implementation of new rules upon the vote of three-fifths of its twelve members. For even longer, the Illinois General Assembly has been authorized by statute to block agency rules through passage of joint resolutions, which do not require presentment to the Governor for a potential executive veto. In a companion piece, the author argued that the legislative veto scheme in Illinois is unconstitutional, primarily because it allows the General Assembly to engage in lawmaking without meeting the state constitutional requirements of bicameralism and/or presentment. This piece addresses the distinct question of whether legislative vetoes are an effective and desirable method for policing agency rulemaking. Such analysis is warranted, notwithstanding the alleged unconstitutionality of the extant legislative veto scheme, because the Illinois constitution could be amended to allow legislative vetoes, as has been done in other states. The Article offers several observations and conclusions. The data suggests that the threat of a legislative veto may drive agencies toward creating smaller and arguably more optimal volume of rules annually. But it also shows that in the years since JCAR was granted veto powers the number of rules that JCAR has prohibited and suspended has increased markedly, correlating with a further drop in rulemaking volume that raises questions about whether the state’s agencies are being over-policed. In addition, a qualitative assessment of JCAR’s veto activity since 2005 reveals that JCAR has in multiple ways deployed its veto authority in a manner beyond its statutory authority. The Article concludes that the General Assembly’s grant of legislative veto powers to JCAR, while well-intentioned and in some ways beneficial, has disrupted the balance of power among the governmental branches in the state, obscuring lines of political accountability and wresting too much institutional control of rulemaking power from the executive. The Article recommends that, if the Illinois Supreme Court eventually rules the legislative veto unconstitutional, the people of Illinois reject efforts to reinstate the veto through constitutional amendment

Pro Bono Scholars Idea Could Enhance Legal Education, Provide Aid to Needy
No full textNew York’s chief judge, Jonathan Lippman, is floating an idea that in one fell swoop would alter the structure of legal education in his state and enhance legal services for the poor. His Pro Bono Scholars proposal would allow law students to take the bar exam in February of their 3L year, on the condition that they spend the last semester of law school doing unpaid legal work for the poor. There are many hoops to jump through before the plan becomes reality in New York, but the innovative concept is one that Illinois should seriously consider too
The Due Process Failings of Student Disciplinary Board Hearings
No full textIf you want to understand why the “technicalities” of a criminal trial are important — things like hearsay rules, an elevated burden of proof and the right to counsel — try sitting in on a university disciplinary hearing, where students face penalties as severe as expulsion but where such protections don’t apply
