What principles should guide the U.S. Supreme Court in deciding whether to adhere to one of its precedents?

/in /by

1. What does the Court mean when it says, “Stare decisis is not an inexorable command; rather, it ‘is a principle of policy and not a mechanical formula of adherence to the latest decision’”?
2. What would it mean for the American system of criminal justice if stare decisis actually were an “inexorable command” or “a mechanical formula of adherence to the latest decision”?

Consider whether fairness (due process) or some other constitutional provision is violated by a strict liability statutory rape statute.

/in /by

Work on a research project about how community organizations can be more sustainable. Specifically, this research project can address issues such as how community organizations can continue operations in a crisis period, attract financing/ financial support, get people to volunteer, etc. Part of this research project can be general and part should be specific to a particular community organization (Syracuse, NY, USA). It should therefore include specific tactics and “a plan.” This project must include research (using appropriate references and data); it is not an “opinion piece.”

For the discussion this week, describe what you read about juvenile drug courts. You may wish to focus on the varying missions and processes, how drug use policy in the U.S. influenced the development of drug courts, treatment oriented interventions in the criminal justice system, or the provision of drug testing, case management, or related health and social services. You may want to also consider the experience of culturally diverse or unique populations. How do they fit into the drug court model? What provisions, if any, would be helpful for diverse populations?
