What Did Punitive Damages Do? Why Misunderstanding The History Of Punitive Damages Matters Today, Anthony J. Sebok
What Did Punitive Damages Do? Why Misunderstanding The History Of Punitive Damages Matters Today, Anthony J. Sebok
Articles
In 2001 the Supreme Court, in Cooper Industries, Inc. v. Leatherman Tool Group, Inc. suggested that, although modern punitive damages punish, in earlier times they almost exclusively compensated for noneconomic damages that were ignored by a less progressive legal system. This article demonstrates that the historical foundation upon which the Supreme Court bases its argument is groundless. In the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries punitive damages served a number of functions, but none of them were to provide the noneconomic damages identified by the court. Instead, as the article shows, the sort of injuries for which punitive damages were once demanded …

Law Without Authority: Sources Of The Welfare State In Spinoza's Tractatus Theologico-Politicus, Arthur J. Jacobson
Law Without Authority: Sources Of The Welfare State In Spinoza's Tractatus Theologico-Politicus, Arthur J. Jacobson
Articles
In his Tractatus Theologico-Politicus (1670), Spinoza mounts an attack on authority in all its forms, including the authority of law and the state. Because authority in all its forms is a product of the imagination, obligation can never be justified. The subjects of Spinoza's commonwealth have no duties, only rights. Spinoza replaces the authority of the commonwealth with the welfare of subjects as the sign and the source of the commonwealth's flourishing. Spinoza was thus the first to propose that the only way for commonwealths to maintain the illusion of authority is by attending to the welfare of their citizens.

The Market For Contingent Fee-Financed Tort Litigation: Is It Price Competitive?, Lester Brickman
The Market For Contingent Fee-Financed Tort Litigation: Is It Price Competitive?, Lester Brickman
Articles
Tort liability has undergone an enormous expansion in the past 40 years. So too has the effective hourly rate obtained by plaintiff lawyers which has increased well over 1000% in that time frame (adjusted for inflation). That the enormous increases in effective hourly rates parallel the enormous expansion in tort liability raises a number of issues. In this article, I examine one of them: whether the market for contingent fee-financing of tort litigation is price competitive. To do so, I examine certain indicia of a noncompetitive market including the fact of uniform pricing, the absence of economic justification for uniform …
The Traumatic Dimension In Law, David G. Carlson
The Traumatic Dimension In Law, David G. Carlson
Articles
This paper applies Jacques Lacan's theory of retrospective cause to the jurisprudence of H.L.A. Hart and his followers. The thesis is that "effect" (judicial decision) precedes "cause" (law). The proper tense for legal discourse is, therefore, future anterior. The following points follow from this: (1) Positivism asserts that law is not necessarily connected to morality, but this is a priori wrong. Law wishes to be separate from morality, but it necessarily fails. (2) The theory vindicates Dworkin's notorious "right answers" theory, but makes the additional point that there is only one answer: you are guilty; you failed to conform to …

The Legal System's Use Of Epidemiology, Arthury H. Bryant, Alexander A. Reinert
The Legal System's Use Of Epidemiology, Arthury H. Bryant, Alexander A. Reinert
Articles
Both law and science are truth-seeking endeavors. In at least one respect, lawyers and scientists are like Agent Mulder on the X-Files: we believe that the truth is out there and our goal is to find it. This article is devoted to exploring and improving the means by which law relies on scientific disciplines, particularly epidemiology, to ascertain the truth.

The Admissibility Of Expert Testimony About Cognitive Science Research On Eyewitness Identification, Edward Stein
The Admissibility Of Expert Testimony About Cognitive Science Research On Eyewitness Identification, Edward Stein
Articles
Eyewitness identifications are important to jurors, especially in criminal trials. Psychological research has shown, however, that eyewitness testimony is systematically fallible in ways that undermine the goals of the rules of evidence. This article assesses the arguments for and against admitting expert testimony concerning cognitive science research about eyewitness identification. The article concludes that experts should in many instances be allowed to testify about the problems with eyewitness identification testimony.
