The Paradox Of Justice John Paul Stevens, Sonja R. West, Dahlia Lithwick
The Paradox Of Justice John Paul Stevens, Sonja R. West, Dahlia Lithwick
Scholarly Works
In the days following Justice John Paul Stevens’s death last year, numerous tributes and remembrances immediately poured forth. Former clerks, journalists, and legal scholars all grasped for the perfect words to capture the man and the justice we had just lost.
Yet many readers of these tributes and homages might have begun to wonder whether they were actually all talking about the same person. Because, taken together, the various portraits appeared to be full of contradictions. In one piece, for example, Justice Stevens is described as a frequent lone dissenter, while in another he is praised for his consensusbuilding leadership. …
Justice Stevens, The Writer, Sonja R. West
Justice Stevens, The Writer, Sonja R. West
Scholarly Works
In any discussion about United States Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, you're likely to hear him labeled in a variety of ways--as a brilliant “judge's judge,” the highly successful leader of the Court's more liberal wing, the prolific “maverick,” and a shrewd questioner from the bench. You might also hear him described simply as a polite and humble Midwesterner, bow-tie aficionado and diehard Cubs fan. Yet while Justice Stevens is and was all of these things, there is another important title he richly deserves yet often does not receive--Justice Stevens, the excellent writer.
This essay strives to close that …

Representing Saddam Hussein: The Importance Of Being Ramsey Clark, Lonnie T. Brown, Jr.
Representing Saddam Hussein: The Importance Of Being Ramsey Clark, Lonnie T. Brown, Jr.
Scholarly Works
This article examines the professional life of former United States Attorney General Ramsey Clark in an effort to understand the many controversial representations and causes that he has undertaken during his post-government career. I do so through the vehicle of perhaps his most perplexing client choice - deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Although Hussein had other competent attorneys prepared and willing to represent him, Ramsey Clark nevertheless felt compelled to volunteer his services to the defense team. Why would he do so, and was his decision an ethically proper one under the circumstances?
These are the specific questions that this …

On The Passing Of My Friend, Dick Wellman, Paul M. Kurtz

Writing the introduction to a symposium in memory of a friend is a great honor, of course, and one that I seized immediately, for fear that the Editor in Chief might change his mind.

In Memoriam: Vaughn Charles Ball (1915-1985), C. Ronald Ellington
Scholarly Works
Vaughn C. Ball was the Thomas Reade Rootes Cobb Professor of Law at the University of Georgia School of Law from 1974 until his retirement in 1983. Vaughn's death on December 2, 1985, deprived those of us who were fortunate to know him well of a wonderful colleague whose keen mind, wry humor, and engaging wit added sparkle to any conversation.
Mason Ladd--In Memoriam, Ronald L. Carlson
Mason Ladd--In Memoriam, Ronald L. Carlson
Scholarly Works
Mason Ladd's life in the law of evidence will never be stilled. The contributions are too thoughtful, too productive, too filled with impact for that ever to happen. In the galaxy of great figures that includes Wigmore, Clearly, Morgan, Maguire, Weinstein, McCormick, Louisell, and others, Dean Ladd's star shone brightly. The mix of insight, humor, and good will that he brought to teaching and scholarly writing is unmatched. The influence of Mason Ladd is perhaps best summarized by this tribute: You can lose a man like Dean Ladd by your own death, but not by his.
