Aliens On The Bench: Lessons In Identity, Race And Politics From The First "Modern" Supreme Court, Lori A. Ringhand
Aliens On The Bench: Lessons In Identity, Race And Politics From The First "Modern" Supreme Court, Lori A. Ringhand
Scholarly Works
Every time a Supreme Court vacancy is announced, the media and the legal academy snap to attention. Even the general public takes note; in contrast to most of the decisions issued by the Court, a majority of Americans are aware of and have opinions about the men and women who are nominated to sit on it. Moreover, public opinion about the nominee has a strong influence on a senator's vote for or against the candidate. If the confirmation hearing held before the Senate Judiciary Committee is largely an empty ritual, why do so many people seem so enthralled by it? …

Somos constantemente bombardeados com desgraças. Os telejornais coleccionam desgraças pelo mundo, até de poucos mortos, todas juntas. O catastrofismo é empolado por privilegiados e ociosos (que disso não se dão conta), que gostariam de mais privilégios, e cuja ociosidade precisa de ser preenchida com emoções fortes, ainda que artificiais. Quando é necessário unir os Portugueses e trabalhar muito, precisamente nos acenam com o mito do Dom Sebastião... Como seria a desilusão dos incautos por eles arrastados se acaso triunfassem as suas pretensões... O presente artigo pretende sublinhar a importância do triunfo do princípio da responsabilidade sobre os impulsos tanáticos, suicidas, …
Do Judges Vary In Their Treatment Of Race?, David S. Abrams, Marianne Bertrand, Sendhil Mullainathan
Do Judges Vary In Their Treatment Of Race?, David S. Abrams, Marianne Bertrand, Sendhil Mullainathan
All Faculty Scholarship
Are minorities treated differently by the legal system? Systematic racial differences in case characteristics, many unobservable, make this a difficult question to answer directly. In this paper, we estimate whether judges differ from each other in how they sentence minorities, avoiding potential bias from unobservable case characteristics by exploiting the random assignment of cases to judges. We measure the between-judge variation in the difference in incarceration rates and sentence lengths between African-American and White defendants. We perform a Monte Carlo simulation in order to explicitly construct the appropriate counterfactual, where race does not influence judicial sentencing. In our data set, …
República E Justiça Social, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
República E Justiça Social, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Será a República socialmente indiferente? Algumas experiências concretas (e desde logo a I República portuguesa) levaram alguns, sobretudo mais adeptos de transformações mais profundas e violentas, a criticar o republicanismo por contrário à Justiça Social, ou, pelo menos, como muito tímido nessa matéria. Mas será que a República é, por natureza, anti-social, a-social ou mesmo conservadora? Não nos parece...

República, Adjectivos E Números, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Políticos e comentadores que falam em renovação das instituições e a tal querem dar novo nome, caem quase sempre em expressões de conotação perigosa à luz da História política.Felizmente as nossas Repúblicas não têm numeração oficial. Em tempo de comemorações, há quem fale em mais Repúblicas do que duas. E mesmo quem se preocupe com os 100 anos da República se não se contar o interregno, o “Estado Novo”. Mas o que os republicanos comemoram é um século desde a implantação da República (1910). É esse momento que se celebra.
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor: Token Or Triumph From A Feminist Perspective, Margaret A. Miller
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor: Token Or Triumph From A Feminist Perspective, Margaret A. Miller
Golden Gate University Law Review
This Comment will examine the feminist perception of Sandra Day O'Connor's record on the Supreme Court on issues affecting women. It will analyze how her decisions have fulfilled and how they have disappointed feminist expectations. In view of her performance on the Court, can Justice Sandra Day O'Connor be, considered a "token" or a "triumph" for feminists?
Panel: Judicial Review And Constitutional Limitations
Panel: Judicial Review And Constitutional Limitations
Golden Gate University Law Review
The Constitutional Law Panel of the NAWJ brought together distinguished theoreticians and practitioners of judicial review. Deans Choper and Ely presented abbreviated versions of their recently published theories on the legitimacy of judicial review in a democratic society. Justice Abrahamson and Judge Wald responded with observations on the practical applications of state and federal constitutional principles to the cases they must adjudicate daily.
Panel: Pretrial Case Management In The Federal System - "Keeping The Cost Of Justice Reasonable"
Panel: Pretrial Case Management In The Federal System - "Keeping The Cost Of Justice Reasonable"
Golden Gate University Law Review
Participants in and critics of the judiciary agree that unless some solution to the problem of clogged court calendars is found, our system of justice will grind to a standstill. Against this backdrop, the panel members explored methods of expediting case flow through the federal system so that litigants are assured a just and speedy resolution of their disputes whether through settlement, arbitration, or trial.
Gender, Affirmative Action, And Recruitment To The Federal Bench, Elliot E. Slotnick
Gender, Affirmative Action, And Recruitment To The Federal Bench, Elliot E. Slotnick
Golden Gate University Law Review
In the analysis which follows, an effort will be made to assess the historical record of the appointment of women to the federal bench. Extended consideration will be given to the Carter administration's judicial recruitment behavior in an effort to assess the thrust and implications of the President's affirmative action concerns. How successful was Carter in appointing women to the federal judiciary and how did the women appointees differ, if at all, from their male colleagues? Do women appointees follow a different "path" to the bench than males? Did affirmative action "dilute" the quality of the federal bench as many …

Women Judges: A Preface To Their History, Beverly B. Cook
Golden Gate University Law Review
A special concern of this paper is the presence of women at the top of the judicial hierarchy. Understanding why women are (or are not) able to move up the opportunity structure requires data on the number and percentage of women on these prestigious courts. Appendix I provides a list arranged by state of every woman who has served on a prestigious court. The following examines the relationship between the increase in the number of positions in the courts and the presence of women. The next section examines the steps in the opportunity structure to prestigious judgeships, and the gatekeeping …
