Morality, Slavery And The Jurists In The Later Roman Republic, Alan Watson
Morality, Slavery And The Jurists In The Later Roman Republic, Alan Watson
Scholarly Works
The problem I wish to discuss is the moral attitude of the later Republican jurists to slavery. The prominent jurists of the time belong to the upper classes and, although it would be wrong to generalize from the jurists to other members of the aristocracy, we shall have a certain glimpse into the social attitudes of the period if we can gain a reasonably clear picture from the jurists. I will deal only with juristic discussion, and not with the statutes and edicts which concern slavery. No doubt the jurists would play a part in shaping these, but public political …
The American Doctrine Of Sovereign Immunity: An Historical Analysis, Daniel T. Murphy
The American Doctrine Of Sovereign Immunity: An Historical Analysis, Daniel T. Murphy
Law Faculty Publications
Although more than one hundred and fifty years old, the case vivifying the concept of sovereign immunity, The Schooner Exchange v. M cFaddon, is still repeatedly referred to in judicial opinions. Significantly, it is cited not for purposes of distinction or historical perspective, but rather, is employed as a present underpinning for sovereign immunity, even though the political and social circumstances of today differ considerably from those existing in 1812.
Subsequent cases, however, while often justifying the conclusions reached by references to Marshall's discussion in The Schooner Exchange, have intertwined into the concept of sovereign immunity notions distinct from Chief …

Religious Freedom And The Church-State Relationship In Maryland, Kenneth Lasson
Religious Freedom And The Church-State Relationship In Maryland, Kenneth Lasson
All Faculty Scholarship
Maryland holds the unique and admirable distinction of having been the State whose early history most directly ensured, and whose citizenry was most directly affected by, the first amendment's grant of religious liberty. The Supreme Court's docket is still liberally sprinkled with petitions calling for renewed interpretation of the establishment clause, and Marylanders will soon vote upon a proposed new state constitution with a similar provision - hence, the opportuneness for tracing Maryland's contribution to the cause of toleration and to the principle of church-state separation.
The scope of this article will not extend beyond a sketch of the important …
Law Vs. Politics: The Self-Image Of The American Bar, Maxwell Bloomfield
Law Vs. Politics: The Self-Image Of The American Bar, Maxwell Bloomfield
Scholarly Articles
The advent of Jacksonian democracy in American politics coincided with a vigorous leveling movement in American law. In one sense the latter crusade was nothing new: hostility toward the elitism of the legal fraternity had been rife since the days of the Revolution. But whereas earlier critics had worked to simplify the content of the law, reformers in the 1830's and 1840's attacked the problem from a different angle. Eschewing substantive changes, they sought instead to bring the administrators of the law under more direct popular control. Their program embraced a wide range of legislative measures in which worried conservatives …
