How People Judge Institutional Corruption, Elinor Amit, Eugy Han, Ann-Christin Posten, Steven Sloman
Connecticut Law Review
Institutional corruption refers to actions that are legal yet carry negative consequences for the greater good. Such legal yet harmful behaviors have been observed among politicians and donors who establish quid-pro-quo relationships in exchange for money and among doctors who receive gifts from pharmaceutical companies in return for recommending the companies’ drugs. How does the general public reconcile the tension between the legal status of an action and its impact on the greater good and judge the action’s moral acceptability? We explored this question empirically by comparing the relative weight people give to the legal status of actions and to …

Liberalism's Ambivalence, Anne Dailey
Liberalism's Ambivalence, Anne Dailey
Faculty Articles and Papers
This short comment on Nomi Stolzenberg's symposium paper, Liberalism in Love (28 Quinnipiac L. Rev. 593 (2010)), addresses the enduring conflict between rationalism and romanticism as it manifests itself in law. In psychology, the cognitive/behavioral revolution has brought about a dramatic decline in the prominence of psychoanalytic research and therapy. But I argue that this conquest should be seen more in terms of an ambivalence. In law, rationalist ideas about the self and individual decision making necessarily coexist with more romantic ideas about identity and selfhood. Nomi Stolzenberg's essay moves us to think about law in integrated terms: not defined …

H. L. A. Hart’s well known attempt to show that a legal system need not satisfy moral standards to be such, and thereby to disprove the alleged thesis of natural lawyers that a wicked law is no law at all, apparently assumes the fact-value dichotomy in its most radical formulation. As part of his project, Hart advanced a putatively value-neutral analysis of legal obligation that holds distinct attraction even for those who question Hart’s broader project. My paper argues that a less extreme view of the fact-value dichotomy would have excused Hart from defending his view of legal obligation in …

Liberalism And Republicanism: In Federal Indian Law, Bethany Berger
Liberalism And Republicanism: In Federal Indian Law, Bethany Berger
Faculty Articles and Papers
This essay shows the ways that, despite apparent contradictions, tribal claims fit within the liberal and republican strands of American democratic theory. Critics of tribal sovereignty and, I believe, the modern Supreme Court, are influenced by the seeming conflict between tribal interests and a liberal philosophical framework. I argue that properly understood, most tribal claims do fit within classical liberal theory, with its emphasis on equality and freedom. It is true that some tribal claims are distinctly those of groups or peoples, and so cannot be adequately captured by an individualist liberal framework. Drawing on the later work of John …
