Mendez 7 State of Tennessee Claire Kim Governor My fellow Tennesseans, It is my honor to be the first to thank you for participating in the 67th annual Tennessee YMCA Youth in Government Conference. I am ecstatic that all of you have demonstrated such passion as delegates of this conference. Although we won't have the opportunity to walk the halls and sit in the chairs of our own legislators in one of the most magnificent functioning capitols in this nation due to the recent outbreak of COVID-19, I firmly believe that Youth in Government stands as a once-in-a-lifetime experience to be involved in civic engagement. Youth in Government has been an integral part of my high school experience. Ever since my freshman year, the program has not only allowed me to learn about various aspects of our government system and have distinct outlooks on democracy, but has also empowered me to grow as an individual. I hope that this conference can provide the same experience for you all.

  • The Reconstruction Congress
    ARTICLE The Reconstrnction Congress David P Curriet The Editors of The University of Chicago Law Review wish to acknowledge the passing of Professor Currie while this Article was being preparedfor press.We offer our condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. This article is a sequel to The Civil War Congress,which appeared not long ago in The University of Chicago Law Review.' Both are ele- ments of a continuing study of extrajudicial interpretation of the Con- stitution, with an emphasis on the debates in Congress.2 The present installment begins where the preceding one left off: with the accession of Andrew Johnson to the presidency upon the assassination of Presi- dent Lincoln in April 1865. The war was over. There was no peace treaty, of course. One makes treaties with foreign countries, not with rebels at home. The overriding task confronting Congress and the new President was to restore the states that had attempted to secede to their proper place in the Union. Six years would pass before this goal was fully achieved. Three Congresses would sit during that period, and this article is correspond- ingly divided into three parts. The first two years were dominated by issues respecting Reconstruction itself, culminating in the famous Re- construction Act of 1867,' and by congressional efforts, first by statute and then by constitutional amendment, to guarantee the civil rights of the newly freed slaves. During the following two years, Reconstruction took something of a back seat to the impeachment of President John- t Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor of Law Emeritus, The University of Chicago.

  • IN the SUPREME COURT of TENNESSEE at NASHVILLE November 1, 2011 Session
    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF TENNESSEE AT NASHVILLE November 1, 2011 Session STATE OF TENNESSEE v. NIGEL KAVIC WATKINS Appeal by Permission from the Court of Criminal Appeals Criminal Court for Smith County No. 04-194 John Wootten, Judge No. M2009-00348-SC-R11-CD - Filed March 9, 2012 We granted the State permission to appeal to determine whether the defendant’s dual convictions for reckless homicide and aggravated child abuse violate either the federal or state constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy. Following briefing, oral argument, and a careful study of Tennessee law governing the issue presented, we ordered the parties in this appeal, and two other pending appeals involving related issues, to submit additional briefs addressing certain specific questions concerning the analyses that Tennessee courts apply in single prosecution cases when determining whether separate convictions under different statutes constitute the same offense for purposes of the double jeopardy protection against multiple punishments. We also scheduled consolidated reargument of these three appeals and invited certain prosecutorial and defense organizations to submit amicus curiae briefs. Having thoroughly reviewed relevant federal and state precedent and carefully considered the briefs provided by the parties and by the amici curiae, we have concluded that the four-factor test set forth in State v. Denton, 938 S.W.2d 373 (Tenn. 1996) should be abandoned. Furthermore, we have not found, nor have we been provided with, any textual reason or historical basis for interpreting the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Tennessee Constitution differently from the Double Jeopardy Clause of the United States Constitution. Accordingly, we adopt the same elements test enunciated in Blockburger v.

Plater* Introduction Legal history is usually written from one of two time perspec tives: as a narrative of events and changing conditions over a span of years or as an extended exploration of one fertile moment in time. In examining the intriguing entity known as the Tennessee Valley Authority, others in this symposium will no doubt chroni cle the life of that agency-corporation since its creation in 1933. This article —which compiles some of the recollections, subjective impressions, and analytical observations of a participant1 —draws upon that chronological history to some extent.
