Petition of the day

Thepetition of the day is:

Issues:(1) Whether the Supreme Court’s decision inHeck v. Humphreybars actions under 42 U.S.C. 1983 when the writ of habeas corpus was not available as a federal constitutional collateral attack on a state criminal conviction, as six circuits have held; or whetherHeck v. Humphreybars actions under 42 U.S.C. 1983 regardless of habeas corpus availability, as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit held here, and four other circuits have held; and (2) whether a juvenile adjudication noting a violation of a criminal statute constitutes a criminal conviction triggering theHeck v. Humphreybar when state law expressly states that juvenile adjudications are not criminal convictions, and juveniles are not afforded basic constitutional protections required for criminal proceedings.
