Principled Adjudication: Tort Law And Beyond, Richard W. Wright

Richard W. Wright

The article briefly discusses the impossibility of a strict formalist or positivist approach to legal adjudication and the necessity and plausibility of a principled approach, according to which it is necessary to resort, explicitly or implicitly, to the principles underlying the positive expressions or sources of law to identify, interpret and apply the law, in easy as well as hard cases. The legitimacy of the principled approach crucially depends on resort to the community's moral principles as embedded in the existing law -- those moral principles which best explain as much as possible of the existing law -- rather than …

A User's Guide To Proposals To Replace The U.S. Tax System And Strangle Fiscal Policy, Neil H. Buchanan

Neil H. Buchanan

This article reviews several familiar plans to alter the structure of taxation, including the flat tax, a VAT, and the USA Tax. With the significant exception of a simplified income tax system, every plan to replace the current U.S. federal tax system would move us in precisely the wrong direction. These plans would abandon income taxation entirely in an attempt to solve problems that do not exist, and they are based on a flawed ideal of a neutral tax code. The companion to these plans is an even more misguided set of proposals (some in the form of constitutional amendments) …

Caveat Loquens: Let The Speaker Beware, William A. Herbert

William A. Herbert

This article discusses the gap between First Amendment expectations and realities with respect to the scope of protected speech in the public sector workplace. While it is highly unlikely that the courts will recognize a qualified immunity against adverse action for traditional First Amendment activities, the article highlights the difficulty that both public employers and employees face in trying to discern the scope and limitations of protections emanating from the First Amendment.

Judges As Tort Law Un-Makers: Recent California Experience With "New" Torts, Stephen D. Sugarman

Stephen D Sugarman

Part of the DePaul Law School's 1999 Clifford Symposium, this article explores the role of "judges as lawmakers" by examining the tort law decisions of the California Supreme Court for the past 15 years -- the final three years that Chief Justice Rose Bird sat on the court and the twelve years after she was removed from office. The article presents the sea change in tort law thinking, doctrine and results that have taken place over this period of time -- essentially through the abandonment of notions of enterprise liability (Calabresi thinking about cheaper cost avoiders and cheaper loss spreaders). …

Enforcement Of Settlement Contracts: The Problem Of The Attorney Agent, Grace M. Giesel

Grace M. Giesel

The issue of the enforceability of settlement agreements entered into by an attorney on behalf of a client is the subject of much confusing judicial comment. this article urges a return to traditional agency concepts. While not widely accepted in the United States, the position that retention of an attorney creates authority should be viewed as a logical and viable position not inconsistent with other rules of law or ethics.

Our Nonuniform Constitution: Geographical Variations Of Constitutional Requirements In The Aid Of Community, Mark D. Rosen

Mark D. Rosen

This Article highlights an overlooked but integral aspect of American constitutional law: that some activities believed to be flatly unconstitutional are permissible in select locations. Contrary to what the Constitution has been construed to proscribe in most jurisdictions, for example, governments in some places in our country can ban political speeches by citizens, impose prior restraints with regard to petitions to government officials, and disallow defendants at risk of incarceration from having counsel. The Article brings together the case law that creates nonuniformity across geographical locations. It first explains the mechanics by which this "geographical constitutional nonuniformity" is generated and …

Taxes, Saving, And Macroeconomics, Neil H. Buchanan

Neil H. Buchanan

In response to increasing calls for policies to raise the U.S. saving rate, proposals are once again being offered in Congress to change the tax base from income to consumption. Beyond the important issues of income distribution (that is, outright unfairness) inherent in such a plan, it would simply not work. Indeed, it is based on a fundamental mismeasurement of what counts as saving in the U.S. economy. The logical sequence underlying this proposal is wrong at two crucial points: lowering or eliminating taxes on saving is unlikely to increase saving, and higher saving would be unlikely to increase investment …
