Race And Sentencing Equality In Kentucky, Robert L. Hurley
Race And Sentencing Equality In Kentucky, Robert L. Hurley
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Disparity in sentencing felons based on racial considerations has long has been considered a problem for civil libertarians and scholars alike. Examining data gathered in Kentucky, this thesis addresses this issue through the application of recently developed methodological techniques. Utilizing an index of sentencing equality, this study shows that while differences do exist in black and white offender offense characteristics, these differences do not account for the variations in sentences rendered in cases of white as opposed to black felons. This exploratory research reviews and critiques previous research and provides evidence which should prove useful in resolving the problem of …

What Does Bakke Require Of Law Schools? The Salt Board Of Governors Statement, Howard Lesnick
Statements
In 1979, Professor Lesnick wrote a statement for the Board of Governors of the Society of American Law Teachers after the Supreme Court's decision in University of California v. Bakke, 438 U.S. 265 (1978). The question addressed in the statement is: What changes (if any) in minority-admissions programs are university law schools now obligated to make to comply with the Supreme Court's decision in Bakke?

Comment: Race, Property Rights, And The Economic Consequences Of Reconstruction, Robert B. Jones
Comment: Race, Property Rights, And The Economic Consequences Of Reconstruction, Robert B. Jones
Vanderbilt Law Review
Professors Haws and Namorato are to be praised for their pioneer work in studying the operation of a county court system in the Reconstruction era. They break new historical ground in this effort that has the potential for greatly contributing to the study of the legal history of the South. More scholars must engage in this endeavor if the field of legal history is to reach its full maturity. While their efforts are to be complimented it must be pointed out, however, that they generally fail to make their case in this Article. They do not show a significant link …

Bakke As Precedent: Does Mr. Justice Powell Have A Theory, Vincent A. Blasi
Faculty Scholarship
What does it all mean? The Supreme Court's decision in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke invites assessment at many levels. Was it really a "Solomonic compromise" worthy of our constitutional tradition, as some prominent scholars have suggested? Or does the decision represent, as I believe it does, a disturbing failure by the Court to discharge its responsibility to give coherent, practical meaning to our most important constitutional ideals? Does the uncharacteristically opaque and simplistic opinion of Justice Stevens mask deep divisions and ambivalences among the four justices who subscribed to it? Can there be any validity to …

The Unresolved Problems Of Reverse Discrimination, Kent Greenawalt
The Unresolved Problems Of Reverse Discrimination, Kent Greenawalt
Faculty Scholarship
The current widespread use of remedial affirmative action programs makes the legitimacy of reverse discrimination a pragmatic social concern. That alone, however, would not explain the intense interest generated by Regents of the University of California v. Bakke. The question posed in the case compels our attention because it forces a choice between two values that occupy a high place in the liberal conception of justice and claim substantial support in the equal protection clause. On the one hand, justice requires that groups that have previously suffered gross discrimination be given truly equal opportunity in American life; on the other, …
