50 U.C. Davis Law Review 1845 (June, 2017) |
Law Review Articles and Other Secondary Sources |
|
The law contains a diverse range of doctrines--slayer rules that prevent murderers from inheriting, restrictions on trade in conflict diamonds, the Fourth Amendment's exclusion of evidence obtained through unconstitutional search, and many more--that seem to instantiate a general principle that it can be wrong to profit from past harms or... |
