The Progress Of Passion, Kathryn Abrams Aug 2019

The Progress Of Passion, Kathryn Abrams

Kathryn Abrams

Like an abandoned fortress, the dichotomy between reason and the passions casts a long shadow over the domain of legal thought. Beset by forces from legal realism to feminist epistemology, this dichotomy no longer holds sovereign sway. Yet its structure helps to articulate the boundaries of the legal field; efforts to move in and around it infuse present thinking with the echoes of a conceptually distinct past.

Hearing The Call Of Stories, Kathryn Abrams Aug 2016

Hearing The Call Of Stories, Kathryn Abrams

Kathryn Abrams

In this Article, Professor Abrams examines the emergence of feminist narrative scholarship as a distinctive form of critical legal discourse. Arguing that the failure to debate publicly the conventions and merits of this form has perpetuated misunderstandings about its claims and disadvantaged its practitioners, she begins by examining several of the critiques that have been offered, in nonpublic settings, of feminist narratives. To provide background and context for examining these critiques, she then analyzes four recent examples of feminist narrative legal scholarship. In the final section of the Article, Professor Abrams returns to the opening critiques. She argues that their …

The Outsider Within: The Radical, Not-So-Scary Feminist Jurisprudence Of Ann Scales, Kathryn Abrams Feb 2015

The Outsider Within: The Radical, Not-So-Scary Feminist Jurisprudence Of Ann Scales, Kathryn Abrams

Kathryn Abrams

In her aspirations for the law, in the methods by which she exhorted readers to engender change, in her unique, transgressive, often outrageous voice, Ann Scales was the consummate "outsider." But she also understood the importance of engaging those who could make change possible. Thus Ann not only spoke truth to power, but also knew how to communicate it in registers that legal decision makers could at least sometimes apprehend. This Essay explores the work of Ann Scales in both "outsider" and "insider" modes, and examines the ways her teachings resonate in contemporary controversies over abortion and military service.
