Changing Every Wrong Door Into The Right One: Reforming Legal Services Intake To Empower Clients, Jabeen Adawi
Changing Every Wrong Door Into The Right One: Reforming Legal Services Intake To Empower Clients, Jabeen Adawi
Articles
It’s recognized that people affected by poverty often have numerous overlapping legal needs and despite the proliferation of legal services, they are unable to receive full assistance. When a person is faced with a legal emergency, rarely is there an equivalent to a hospital’s emergency room wherein they receive an immediate diagnosis for their needs and subsequent assistance. In this paper, I focus on the process a person goes through to find assistance and argue that it is a burdensome, and demoralizing task of navigating varying protocols, procedures, and individuals. While these systems are well intentioned from the lawyer’s perspective, …
Public Choice Revisited, Daniel A. Farber, Philip P. Frickey
Public Choice Revisited, Daniel A. Farber, Philip P. Frickey
Daniel A Farber
Although not the first book on public choice_ for a legal audience, Max Stearns's Public Choice and Public Law is the first full-scale textbook for law school use. An ambitious undertaking by a rising young scholar, the book provides law students with a comprehensive introduction to public choice. Public choice - essentially, the application of economic reasoning to political institutions - has become a significant aspect of public law scholarship. Indeed, in his Foreword, Saul Levmore hails public choice as "[t]he most exciting intellectual development in law schools in the last decade" (p. xi). Be that as it may, the …

The Methodology Of The Behavioral Analysis Of Law, Avishalom Tor
The Methodology Of The Behavioral Analysis Of Law, Avishalom Tor
Avishalom Tor
This article examines the behavioral analysis of law, meaning the application of empirical behavioral evidence to legal analysis, which has become increasingly popular in legal scholarship in recent years. Following the introduction in Part I, this Article highlights four central propositions on the subject. The first, developed in Part II, asserts that the efficacy of the law often depends on its accounting for relevant patterns of human behavior, most notably those studied by behavioral decision scientists. This Part therefore reviews important behavioral findings, illustrating their application and relevance to a broad range of legal questions. Part III then argues that …

The Liberal Commons, Hanoch Dagan, Michael A. Heller

Following the Civil War, black Americans began acquiring land in earnest; by 1920 almost one million black families owned farms. Since then, black rural landownership has dropped by more than 98% and continues in rapid decline-there are now fewer than 19,000 black-operated farms left in America. By contrast, white-operated farms dropped only by half, from about 5.5 million to 2.4 million. Commentators have offered as partial explanations the consolidation of inefficient small farms and intense racial discrimination in farm lending. However, even absent these factors, the unintended effects of old-fashioned American property law might have led to the same outcome. …
Public Choice Theory And The Fragmented Web Of The Contemporary Administrative State, Jim Rossi
Public Choice Theory And The Fragmented Web Of The Contemporary Administrative State, Jim Rossi
Michigan Law Review
Since World War II, public choice theory - defined broadly as the application of the assumptions and methodology of microeconomics to describe or predict the way public officials exercise power - has grown from a fledgling movement, gaining mainstream acceptance and respect for its insights into voting behavior, judicial decisionmaking, and other public actions. Although a theory first explored by economists and political scientists, public choice's normative insights have earned credibility in recent years in academic legal literature. Public choice's acceptance in the law school curriculum is demonstrated by the recent publication of course material on the topic. However, despite …
