The Gettysburg Address: Lincoln’S Model Legal Argument, Patrick J. Long
The Gettysburg Address: Lincoln’S Model Legal Argument, Patrick J. Long
Buffalo Law Review
The Gettysburg Address does not appear to be a legal argument. One cannot find a rule anywhere in its few words. Nor does there seem to be any application of a rule to the facts of the case. There is a simple reason for this absence: the law in 1863 was wrong. Lincoln knew that, but he was too much the lawyer to advocate law-breaking. Instead, he used all the skills he had learned from his years in the courtroom to urge his listeners to look beyond the law’s flaws to find the truth of the Declaration’s “self-evident truth.”

Buffalo Law Review
This Essay examines several possibilities for improving our thinking about the vexing, multifaceted problem of revitalizing languishing regions of the United States.

Focusing Presidential Clemency Decision-Making, Paul J. Larkin Jr.
Buffalo Law Review
The Article II Pardon Clause grants the President authority to award clemency to any offender. The clause contains only two limitations.

Genocide Denial And The Law: A Critical Appraisal, Paul Behrens
Buffalo Human Rights Law Review
Genocide denial carries particular relevance for international law: it is the negation of international crimes, and it can prepare the ground for new crimes of this kind. But its criminalization raises concerns as well. The danger of a clash with human rights, particularly with the freedom of ex- pression, cannot be dismissed lightly. This article explores reasons for and repercussions of the criminalization of denial. It also investigates alterna- tives, including the use of truth and reconciliation, and evaluates methods that focus on direct confrontation of the deniers.
