After Steel Co.: 'Hypothetical Jurisdiction' In The Federal Appellate Courts, Joan E. Steinman Apr 2001

After Steel Co.: 'Hypothetical Jurisdiction' In The Federal Appellate Courts, Joan E. Steinman

All Faculty Scholarship

In Steel Co. v. Citizens for a Better Environment, the United States Supreme Court, sua sponte, denounced the doctrine of "hypothetical jurisdiction," a doctrine that, in some circumstances, allowed courts to assume, arguendo, the existence of jurisdiction and to address the merit questions presented by cases. Several of the Justices distanced themselves from the denunciation, however, and despite the vociferousness of the position taken by the majority, even it found that there were exceptional circumstances in which the Court had acted properly (and presumably in which other courts would act appropriately) in assuming jurisdiction arguendo and addressing merits questions. The …

Managing Punitive Damages: A Role For Mandatory "Limited Generosity" Classes And Anti-Suit Injunctions?, Joan E. Steinman Jan 2001

Managing Punitive Damages: A Role For Mandatory "Limited Generosity" Classes And Anti-Suit Injunctions?, Joan E. Steinman

All Faculty Scholarship

In this Article, I consider whether "limited generosity" classes may be used to determine a defendant's entire liability for punitive damages arising from a defined course of conduct. The goals of such a class action would include adequately punishing and deterring the defendant, keeping the defendant's liability within state-mandated and constitutional limits, and facilitating equitable distribution of the damages among injured plaintiffs. The Article describes the legal limits on punitive damages liability that states have established and that the Supreme Court has held substantive due process to impose, and then carefully examines whether such limits constitute a predicate for mandatory …

The Myth Of The Nullifying Jury, Nancy S. Marder Feb 1999

The Myth Of The Nullifying Jury, Nancy S. Marder

All Faculty Scholarship

Jury nullification, an issue that has received much public attention, has been used loosely to describe verdicts with which members of the press and public disagree. One aim of this article is to explain what nullification is and to identify and describe three different situations in which nullification is likely to arise. Another aim is to offer two conceptions of the jury before assessing whether nullification is helpful or harmful to the judicial system. One conception, "a conventional view," largely held by judges, regards the jury as a fact-finding body and little more. My own conception, which I have labeled …

Consorting With The Forests: Rethinking Our Relationships To Natural Resources And How We Should Value Their Loss, Katharine K. Baker Jan 1995

Consorting With The Forests: Rethinking Our Relationships To Natural Resources And How We Should Value Their Loss, Katharine K. Baker

Katharine K. Baker

Section I of this article defines the contours of the natural resource damage cause of action by explaining who sues, on whose behalf they sue, and for what they sue. It is in this section that I take issue with the environmentalists' claim that trees should have standing and the economists' claim that the right at stake is a property right. Section II explores the nature of the human connection to the environment, how that connection is affected by natural resource damage loss, and why it is legitimate to compensate for the loss of that connection. Analysis of the subjective …
