When Can A State Be Sued?, William W. Van Alstyne Jan 2001

When Can A State Be Sued?, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Scholarship

In her Popular Government article "When You Can't Sue the State: State Sovereign Immunity" (Summer 2000), Anita R. Brown-Graham described a series of recent decisions in which a sharply divided U.S. Supreme Court barred individuals from suing states for money damages for certain violations of federal law, such as laws prohibiting discrimination against employees because of their age. In the response that follows, William Van Alstyne argues that this barrier to relief is neither unduly imposing nor novel. The debate over the significance of these decisions is likely to continue. In February 2001, in another case decided by a five-to-four …

The Right To Self-Government After Bush V. Gore, Paul D. Carrington, H. Jefferson Powell Jan 2001

The Right To Self-Government After Bush V. Gore, Paul D. Carrington, H. Jefferson Powell

Faculty Scholarship

'Bush v. Gore' was decided a year ago. As expected, it evoked a flood of journalistic and academic commentary. The present authors write to express dissatisfaction with the resulting literature. They find it in general to be dominated by the usual political discourse conducted from opposite ends of the usual political spectrum, with both ends sharing an assumption that the Supreme Court was animated in its decision by the usual political motives that it has become conventional to see in the actions of that institution. Left almost completely out of view have been the more personal selfish motives of the …

Punitive Damages By Juries In Florida: In Terrorem And In Reality, Neil Vidmar, Mary R. Rose Jan 2001

Punitive Damages By Juries In Florida: In Terrorem And In Reality, Neil Vidmar, Mary R. Rose

Faculty Scholarship

In recent years there have been numerous proposals for punitive damage reform. Proponents of such reform have often asserted that punitive damages are both common and exorbitant. In this Article, Professor Vidmar and Dr. Rose examine the validity of these and other empirical claims about punitive damages. They do so by studying punitive damage awards reported in the Florida Jury Verdict Reporter. Ultimately, they conclude that there is no empirical support for the claims made by proponents of tort refrom in Florida.

State Sovereign Immunity And Stare Decisis: Solving The Prisoners’ Dilemma Within The Court, Neil S. Siegel Jan 2001

State Sovereign Immunity And Stare Decisis: Solving The Prisoners’ Dilemma Within The Court, Neil S. Siegel

Faculty Scholarship

This Comment argues that the liberal and conservative blocs on the U.S. Supreme Court are embroiled in a Prisoners' Dilemma with respect to whether they should follow precedent on the question of congressional abrogation of state sovereign immunity. The analytical consequence of this strategic situation within the Court is that, over the long run, all of the Justices would more fully realize their views of the merits of Eleventh Amendment cases by demonstrating more--not less--respect for the independent value of stare decisis. This Comment uses game theory to substantiate this claim, after which it offers a potential, contingent solution to …
