  • Sen. Jeff Sessions's Record on Criminal Justice
    Analysis: Sen. Jeff Sessions’s Record on Criminal Justice By Ames C. Grawert This analysis provides a brief summary of Sen. Jeff Sessions’s past statements, votes, and practices relating to criminal justice. Specifically, this analysis finds that: • Sen. Sessions opposes efforts to reduce unnecessarily long federal prison sentences for nonviolent crimes, despite a consensus for reform even within his own party. In 2016, he personally blocked the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act, a bipartisan effort spearheaded by Sens. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), Mike Lee (R-Utah), and John Cornyn (R- Texas), and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), and supported by law enforcement leadership. As Attorney General, Sen. Sessions could stall current congressional efforts to pass this legislation to recalibrate federal sentencing laws. • Drug convictions made up 40 percent of Sen. Sessions’s convictions when he served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama — double the rate of other Alabama federal prosecutors. Today, state and federal law enforcement officers have begun to focus resources on violent crime, and away from archaic drug war policies. But Sen. Sessions continues to oppose any attempts to legalize marijuana and any reduction in drug sentences. As Attorney General, Sen. Sessions could direct federal prosecutors to pursue the harshest penalties possible for even low-level drug offenses, a step backward from Republican- supported efforts to modernize criminal justice policy. • Unlike many Republican legislators, Sen. Sessions supports the use of “civil asset forfeiture,” which allows police to confiscate property from people who may not even be accused of a crime.

  • USC Dornsife in the News Archive - 2015
    USC Dornsife in the News Archive - 2015 December Wednesday, December 23, 2015 CBS News featured research presented by John Platt of USC Dornsife College to the American Geophysical Union that may explain mysterious fault lines. Platt said when two faults collide, they may merge like a zipper, instead of breaking past one another. "It may solve some long-standing and intractable problems concerning the timing and displacement on faults," he said. EdTech wrote about a $2.7 million U.S. Department of Education grant for a digital game project by Daphna Oyserman, Dean’s Professor of Psychology and professor of psychology, education and communication. Oyserman will work with the nonprofit McREL, game developer Filament Games, and the South Centeral Colorado Board of Cooperative Education Services to build and test the game based on Oyserman's "identity-based motivation" for teens. The Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed by Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics, about Sen. Lindsey Graham's decision to end his presidential campaign. Tuesday, December 22, 2015 The Nation highlighted research by Manuel Pastor, Turpanjian Chair in Civil Society and Social Change and professor of sociology and American studies and ethnicity, and colleagues on the economic impact of Prop. 13 in California. If Prop. 13 was reformed so that commercial and industrial properties were taxed at market rate, the state could generate between $8.2-10.2 billion. Pastor noted that Prop. 13 affects younger Californians - who are predominantly non-white - more than older, more established residents. Daily Mail featured research by Margaret Gatz, professor of psychology, gerontology and preventive medicine, and Andrew Petkus, a postdoctoral researcher in psychology, along with colleagues finding that long-term anxiety can increase the risk for dementia.

  • The U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Department of Justice, and State Efforts to Legalize Marijuana
    LINCOLN MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW _________________________________ VOLUME 4 SPRING 2017 ISSUE 2 _____________________________________ THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, AND STATE EFFORTS TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA Zachary C. Bolitho1 I. INTRODUCTION A hypothetical young entrepreneur named Ernest recently read an article reporting that marijuana distribution was a lucrative business. After extensive research and discussions with some friends who work in the “marijuana industry,” Ernest decided to open a retail store selling marijuana in his hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina. He entered a supply agreement with a local horticulturist who was also an expert marijuana grower. Ernest named his business “Best Buds Dispensary, Inc.,” registered it with the secretary of 1Assistant Professor, Campbell University School of Law, Raleigh, North Carolina. The author would like to thank Evan Wright and the staff of the Lincoln Memorial University Law Review for the invitation to present this article as part of the law review’s symposium.

His dispensary sold loose-leaf marijuana, marijuana joints, and so-called “marijuana edibles.” The business operated on a cash-only basis, and business was booming due in part to an advertising campaign Ernest started on social media. In the first week, Ernest sold over 60 kilograms of marijuana and generated a profit of $50,000.
