  • Personal Liability As Administrative Law
    Personal Liability as Administrative Law David Zaring* Abstract Administrative law has almost exclusively concerned itself with lawsuits against agencies as collective entities, under the auspices of the Administrative Procedure Act. In light of the growing number and prominence of suits by war on terror plaintiffs against senior government officials, this Article considers the use of personal liability to discipline government officials and assesses it as an alternative to traditional administrative law. It compares the civil suits to criminal prosecutions of these officials and compares both of them to less- obviously law related scandal campaigns. Personal sanctions—of which Bivens complaints are a principal example—are worth more attention. These mechanisms, and the constitutional tort in particular, are case studies of the popular inclination to decentralize government, of the value of symbolic laws, and, increasingly, of the personalization of law and politics. Solving some of the problems of personal liability, as it works today, might best be done not by enhancing the bite of the always-challenged lawsuits and prosecutions, but by making sure that the law makes it more possible for political cases to be made against government officials, rather than legal ones.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Notre Dame Law Review by an authorized administrator of NDLScholarship. For more information, please contact [email protected]. CRIME-TORTS: DUE PROCESS OF COMPENSATION FOR CRIME VICTIMS Luis Kutner* This article is concerned with the due process rights of victims of crimes to bring a civil action for damages against the government responsible for maintaining law and order, whether it is federal, state or municipal. Since criminal law is that part of social control which is enforced by public officers, what rights inure to the public when social control breaks down? Since indi- vidual freedom is limited by social control, what remedy is there when limitations on individual freedom prevent effective self-protection? One of the risks of living in society is the recurrence of criminal violence. Since it is a continuing, serious social problem - one that cannot ever be com- pletely eliminated - countless thousands of victims will suffer violence upon their person through no fault of their own. The obligation to redress the wrongs arising out of criminal violence rests upon the local government, which has a duty to furnish adequate police protection.

THE GOVERNOR'S POWER TO REMOVE COUNTY OFFICIALS. On the night of January 30, 1925, a fight occurred in a pool room in the city of Hazard. The sheriff and one of his deputies went to the pool room. When they arrived the fighting had ceased, but the participants were threatening to renew it. The sheriff, who was in an intoxicated condition, dispersed the crowd by ejecting every one from the pool room. He did this in a rough and violent manner, shoving, pushing, and peremptorily ordering them out, hitting several with his pistol, kicking at one, and striking a crippled boy over the head with his pistol, producing an ugly wound. The boy at the time was a spectator, sitting on a stool, and taking no part in the difficulty.
