A Critical Approach To Section 1983 With Special Attention To Sources Of Law, Jack M. Beermann
A Critical Approach To Section 1983 With Special Attention To Sources Of Law, Jack M. Beermann
Faculty Scholarship
The Civil Rights Act of 18711 ("§ 1983") establishes a tort-like remedy for persons deprived of federally protected rights "under color of law."'2 While the statute's broad language provides a remedy for violations of federal constitutional and statutory rights, the statute itself provides little or no guidance regarding important subjects such as the measure of damages, the availability of punitive damages, the requirements for equitable relief, the statute of limitations, survival of claims, proper parties, and immunities from suit.3...
...The first part of this article examines the narrowly "legal" analysis of § 1983 in the cases …
Law Without Mind, Steven D. Smith
Law Without Mind, Steven D. Smith
Michigan Law Review
A large part of the work done by lawyers and judges involves the interpretation of enacted law - primarily, statutes and the Constitution. Not surprisingly, legal scholars offer a good deal of advice, usually unsolicited, about how the task of interpretation should be performed. At present, such scholarly advice commonly recommends variations on an approach that may be called "present-oriented interpretation." This approach discourages judges from equating a law with its historical meaning or "original understanding." Instead, it urges them to construe statutes and constitutional provisions in a way that will render the law "the best it can be" in …

Baseline Questions In Legal Reasoning: The Example Of Property In Jobs, Jack M. Beermann, Joseph William Singer
Baseline Questions In Legal Reasoning: The Example Of Property In Jobs, Jack M. Beermann, Joseph William Singer
Faculty Scholarship
In what follows, we critique at-will employment by focusing on the baselines that underlie the analysis. Our ultimate goal is to develop persuasive arguments to move courts and businesses to provide greater job security for workers. One possible reason the courts have been so reluctant to change employment law is that judges analyze job security issues from the standpoint of a series of baselines which have the effect of creating a presumption against job security that is almost impossible to overcome. These baseline assumptions effectively place the burden of proof on advocates of job security.
Judges fail to recognize that …

Jean-Luc Godard And Critical Legal Studies (Because We Need The Eggs), Jeffrey L. Harrison, Amy R. Mashburn
Michigan Law Review
The New Wave in filmmaking is now thirty years old. Critical Legal Studies (CLS) has been around in one form or another for approximately a third of that time. We believe that by examining the avant-garde movement in film we may be able to anticipate what is in store for the avant-garde movement in law. Our conclusion is that just as New Wave film methodology has had only a limited impact on the film industry generally, CLS is likely to have a limited - perhaps only stylistic - effect on jurisprudential development.
The reason for the shortfall is that Godard …
Untangling "Operation Common Sense": Reopening And Review Of Social Security Administration Disability Claims, Elizabeth S. Ferguson
Untangling "Operation Common Sense": Reopening And Review Of Social Security Administration Disability Claims, Elizabeth S. Ferguson
Michigan Law Review
Part I of the Note outlines how the SSA processes a disability claim and illustrates the ambiguity in the language of the reopening regulations that has caused the split in the courts. Part II examines the four interpretations of the reopening regulations created by courts. Part II begins with the Secretary's interpretation and concludes that this interpretation is plainly inconsistent with the language of the regulations. Thus, courts need not defer, as they normally would, to an agency's interpretation of its own regulation. This Part next examines the alternative interpretations of these regulations advanced by various courts, and describes how …

The Egalitarian Fallacy, Ann Puckett

Professor Puckett contends that a policy of treating all law library staff members as equals is an injustice to the professional librarian, dilutes the inherent strength of any library, and impairs library services by requiring professionals to spend valuable time on nonprofessional tasks.
The Public Dimension In Legal Education, Mark R. Macguigan
The Public Dimension In Legal Education, Mark R. Macguigan
Dalhousie Law Journal
Legal education, while always a subject of fascination to law students and professors, only periodically becomes a matter of more general interest. But that is what I believe has happened in Canada in the mid-1980s as the result of three publishing events.
The Myth Of The Disposable Opinion: Unpublished Opinions And Government Litigants In The United States Courts Of Appeals, Lauren K. Robel
The Myth Of The Disposable Opinion: Unpublished Opinions And Government Litigants In The United States Courts Of Appeals, Lauren K. Robel
Michigan Law Review
This article discusses the courts' adoption of the limited publication plans and analyzes the methods used by the courts to discourage the use of unpublished opinions. It also discusses the results of a survey conducted to determine if, and how, government litigants - some of the chief unanticipated beneficiaries of the publication plans make use of unpublished opinions. Finally, it challenges the assumption that limited publication is essential in an age of caseload crisis.

Changes In The Publication Of I.C.J. Reports: Effects Of These Suggestions On Teaching International Law, Ignaz Seidl-Hohenveldern
Michigan Journal of International Law
In August, 1986, the Joint Inspection Unit ("J.I.U.") transmitted to the Secretary General of the United Nations a report on the Publications of the International Court of Justice. The report stressed the desirability of extending the U.N. language regime to the publications of the International Court of Justice. Hitherto, the Judgments and Advisory Opinions of the I.C.J. have been published in English and French only. The texts in these two languages are published in juxtaposition (en regard). The J.I.U. report proposes to publish in the future only a limited number of copies in this way "for the use …

Punitive Damages: A Supporting Theory, Harold See
Punitive Damages: A Supporting Theory, Harold See
Law Faculty Scholarship
Scholarly opinion overwhelmingly opposes the trend toward truly punitive damages. If Lord Keynes's observation is correct, then damages intended to punish are, after only a brief maturity, condemned to pass away. The winds of the popular and judicial summer will carry them off because there is no hedgerow of theory to break that wind and hold them fast.

Handbook On Virginia Civil Procedure, A Guide To Legal Research In Virginia, Gail Starling Marshall, Steven D. Hinckley
Handbook On Virginia Civil Procedure, A Guide To Legal Research In Virginia, Gail Starling Marshall, Steven D. Hinckley
University of Richmond Law Review
Professor Bryson's Handbook on Virginia Civil Procedure ("Handbook") which is now out in an expanded second edition, was written as an introduction to Virginia civil procedure for the students who study with him at the T.C. Williams School of Law at the University of Richmond. However, it will find an appreciative audience among two other distinct and occasionally overlapping groups of readers: active litigators who seek a ready reference on Virginia's civil-law procedures and practices, and legal history buffs who enjoy an excursus on the Anglo-American antecedents of Virginia's sometimes unique approach to civil litigation.
