But if the law is to continue to limit contributions because of the dangers of corruption and the appearance of corruption they pose, and to maintain the integrity of the contribution/expenditure distinction that has been a foundational part of our campaign finance law for nearly four decades, it is essential to redefine coordination to address the emergence of single-candidate Super PACs. The proposal in this Essay is intended as a contribution to that process.]]> http://www.columbialawreview.org/coordination-reconsidered_briffault/feed/ 0 http://www.columbialawreview.org/lessons-on-terrorism-and-mistaken-identity-from-oak-creek_sidhu/ http://www.columbialawreview.org/lessons-on-terrorism-and-mistaken-identity-from-oak-creek_sidhu/#comments Wed, 01 May 2013 18:26:56 +0000 ExecSidebarPosting http://www.columbialawreview.org/?p=9585 By: Dawinder S. Sidhu The tragic events in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, thrust upon an obscure religious community, and more broadly upon our laws and society, provide us with an opportunity to assess the efficacy of the law and conceptual explanations, not only as they apply to this incident, but also to those that may occur in the future. As discussed here, Oak Creek indicates why the definition of “terrorism” should be amended to not rely on the subjective motivation underlying the random killing of innocents, and how the disability-rights context may facilitate understanding and undermine criticisms of the media that are premised on notions of offensiveness or political value judgments. Oak Creek offers at least these lessons.]]> http://www.columbialawreview.org/lessons-on-terrorism-and-mistaken-identity-from-oak-creek_sidhu/feed/ 0 http://www.columbialawreview.org/bluebook-invitational-press-release/ http://www.columbialawreview.org/bluebook-invitational-press-release/#comments Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:46:42 +0000 BusinessOffice http://www.columbialawreview.org/?p=9501 http://www.columbialawreview.org/bluebook-invitational-press-release/feed/ 0 http://www.columbialawreview.org/just-undercompensation-the-idiosyncratic-premium-in-eminent-domain/ http://www.columbialawreview.org/just-undercompensation-the-idiosyncratic-premium-in-eminent-domain/#comments Mon, 01 Apr 2013 19:03:13 +0000 BusinessOffice http://www.columbialawreview.org/?p=9627 http://www.columbialawreview.org/just-undercompensation-the-idiosyncratic-premium-in-eminent-domain/feed/ 0 http://www.columbialawreview.org/dividing-sovereignty-in-tribal-and-territorial-criminal-jurisdiction/ http://www.columbialawreview.org/dividing-sovereignty-in-tribal-and-territorial-criminal-jurisdiction/#comments Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:58:02 +0000 BusinessOffice http://www.columbialawreview.org/?p=9624 http://www.columbialawreview.org/dividing-sovereignty-in-tribal-and-territorial-criminal-jurisdiction/feed/ 0 http://www.columbialawreview.org/deregulate-but-still-disclose-disclosure-requirements-for-ballot-question-advocacy-after-citizens-united-v-fec-and-doe-v-reed/ http://www.columbialawreview.org/deregulate-but-still-disclose-disclosure-requirements-for-ballot-question-advocacy-after-citizens-united-v-fec-and-doe-v-reed/#comments Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:35:18 +0000 BusinessOffice http://www.columbialawreview.org/?p=9620 http://www.columbialawreview.org/deregulate-but-still-disclose-disclosure-requirements-for-ballot-question-advocacy-after-citizens-united-v-fec-and-doe-v-reed/feed/ 0 http://www.columbialawreview.org/the-confusion-of-fusion-inconsistent-application-of-the-establishment-clause-nondelegation-rule-in-state-courts/ http://www.columbialawreview.org/the-confusion-of-fusion-inconsistent-application-of-the-establishment-clause-nondelegation-rule-in-state-courts/#comments Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:23:28 +0000 BusinessOffice http://www.columbialawreview.org/?p=9617 http://www.columbialawreview.org/the-confusion-of-fusion-inconsistent-application-of-the-establishment-clause-nondelegation-rule-in-state-courts/feed/ 0 http://www.columbialawreview.org/the-upside-of-losing/ http://www.columbialawreview.org/the-upside-of-losing/#comments Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:06:43 +0000 BusinessOffice http://www.columbialawreview.org/?p=9613 http://www.columbialawreview.org/the-upside-of-losing/feed/ 0 http://www.columbialawreview.org/south-carolinas-evolutionary-process/ http://www.columbialawreview.org/south-carolinas-evolutionary-process/#comments Fri, 29 Mar 2013 22:44:25 +0000 ExecSidebarPosting http://www.columbialawreview.org/?p=9038 By: Ellen D. Katz There is an additional narrative the Justices should consider when they evaluate how far places subject to the VRA’s regional provisions have evolved. This narrative posits that section 5 is far from obsolete and operates not only as a restraint on the ill-intentioned, but also as an affirmative tool of governance. On this account, one of the VRA’s most critical, albeit least appreciated, functions is the way in which it helps public officials navigate complex contemporary questions concerning equality of opportunity in the political process.]]> http://www.columbialawreview.org/south-carolinas-evolutionary-process/feed/ 0 http://www.columbialawreview.org/beyond-perfection-can-the-insights-of-perfecting-criminal-markets-be-put-to-practical-use/ http://www.columbialawreview.org/beyond-perfection-can-the-insights-of-perfecting-criminal-markets-be-put-to-practical-use/#comments Wed, 27 Mar 2013 15:08:05 +0000 ExecSidebarPosting http://www.columbialawreview.org/?p=8936 By: Caren Myers Morrison David Jaros’s thought-provoking new Article, Perfecting Criminal Markets, sheds light on a heretofore unappreciated effect of our obsession with criminalization: that merely by creating new crimes, lawmakers may inadvertently strengthen existing criminal markets.]]> http://www.columbialawreview.org/beyond-perfection-can-the-insights-of-perfecting-criminal-markets-be-put-to-practical-use/feed/ 0 http://www.columbialawreview.org/bargaining-in-the-shadow-of-the-debt-ceiling-when-negotiating-over-spending-and-tax-laws-congress-and-the-president-should-consider-the-debt-ceiling-a-dead-letter/ http://www.columbialawreview.org/bargaining-in-the-shadow-of-the-debt-ceiling-when-negotiating-over-spending-and-tax-laws-congress-and-the-president-should-consider-the-debt-ceiling-a-dead-letter/#comments Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:14:06 +0000 ExecSidebarPosting http://www.columbialawreview.org/?p=7296 By: Neil H.
