O Estado De Necessidade Legislativo E As Medidas Provisórias, Ivo T. Gico Jr., Danielle C. Lanius
Ivo Teixeira Gico Jr.
As medidas legislativas de urgência são geralmente motivadas por uma necessidade premente de normatização que não comporta - em tese - o trâmite legislativo normal. O presente trabalho explora a regulação desse Estado de Necessidade Legislativo no Brasil e no Direito Comparado para tentar identificar limites jurídicos à legislação de urgência.

Righting The Balance: An Inquiry Into The Foundations And Limits Of Freedom Of Expression, Steven J. Heyman
Righting The Balance: An Inquiry Into The Foundations And Limits Of Freedom Of Expression, Steven J. Heyman
Steven J. Heyman
Contemporary disputes over the First Amendment often result in deadlock. One side stresses the paramount value of free speech, while the other side points to the harms that particular kinds of speech can cause. It is difficult to see how this impasse can be broken without a more general account of the scope of free expression: a view that integrates both the justifications and the limits of freedom of speech into a coherent whole. This Article makes a start toward developing such a theory. Its central thesis is that freedom of speech is a right that is limited by the …
Toward A More Coherent Dormant Commerce Clause: A Proposed Unitary Framework, Michael Anthony Lawrence
Toward A More Coherent Dormant Commerce Clause: A Proposed Unitary Framework, Michael Anthony Lawrence
Michael Anthony Lawrence
The Dormant Commerce Clause (DCC), bane of generations of law students, lawyers, judges and state & local legislators, does not lend itself to easy analysis. Indeed, the U.S. Supreme Court itself at various times has described its own DCC doctrine as “hopelessly confused,” “a quagmire,” and “not predictable.” This article attempts to aid in simplifying the analytical task by providing a new Unitary Framework taxonomy designed to bring order and improved predictability to the Court’s DCC doctrine.
Abortion And Women's Legal Personhood In Germany: A Contribution To The Feminist Theory Of The State, D. A. Jeremy Telman
Abortion And Women's Legal Personhood In Germany: A Contribution To The Feminist Theory Of The State, D. A. Jeremy Telman
D. A. Jeremy Telman
This article looks at abortion regulation in Germany in the context of the full range of laws through which the state specifies the status of women as legal persons. Reviewing Germany's most important abortion law decisions in 1975 and 1993, the article contends that while the Constitutional Court struck a balance between the East German legacy of reproductive freedom and West Germany's robust protections of the right to life, it did so by undermining the legal structures that had facilitated full civil, economic and political equality for women in East Germany through legal regimes geared towards protecting women's reproductive autonomy.
Permissible Content Discrimination Under The First Amendment: The Strange Case Of The Public Employee, Lawrence Rosenthal
Permissible Content Discrimination Under The First Amendment: The Strange Case Of The Public Employee, Lawrence Rosenthal
Lawrence Rosenthal
The speech of public employees poses special problems under the First Amendment. As Justice O'Connor once explained, a rule that forbids employees who deal with the public from being rude to customers should be permissible in the public sector, even though a statute containing the very same prohibition would be considered impermissibly vague when applied to private-sector employees. Recognizing that a special rule for public employees is necessary, the Supreme Court has held that only when public employees speak on a matter of public concern does their speech qualify for constitutional protection, and even then, the employee's interest must be …
