The Employee's Contractual Duty Of Fidelity, Andrew Frazer Jan 2015

The Employee's Contractual Duty Of Fidelity, Andrew Frazer

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

[not published: supplied by author] Although the implied contractual duty of employees to serve with fidelity and good faith has long been recognised, its origins have been unclear. It is usually dated from a series of cases in the late nineteenth century. It has been contended that this duty is really a transmogrified form of fiduciary duty. This article shows that the duty of fidelity is not only considerably older than usually recognised, but has been formulated by the courts in a consistent manner and relying exclusively on contract principles. Recent decisions which distinguish contractual and fiduciary obligations are not …


Legal Ethics As A Moral Idea: A Theory Of Philosophical Legal Ethics Based On The Work Of Lon Fuller, Emanuel Raul Tucsa Jan 2014

Legal Ethics As A Moral Idea: A Theory Of Philosophical Legal Ethics Based On The Work Of Lon Fuller, Emanuel Raul Tucsa

LLM Theses

The legal philosophy of Lon Fuller, both in his idea of internal morality and in his theory of legal interpretation, is particularly useful for the purpose of making sense of the relationship between law and morality vis-à-vis the legal profession. Legal ethicists have recently developed accounts of legal ethics that are based on jurisprudential theories. These include the exclusive positivist theory of Tim Dare, the inclusive positivist approach of Bradley Wendel, and the substantive contextual judgment view of William Simon. Additionally, David Luban has proposed and evaluated an insightful interpretation of Fuller’s legal philosophy.

In this paper, I will argue …

Book Review Of Daniel Markovits' A Modern Legal Ethics, Dorothy M. Hong

Dorothy M Hong

Modern Legal Ethics demands lawyerly virtue of fidelity to limit liability and avoid cost by lawyer's occupying a role with skill and expertise for each client for each case each time embracing cosmopolitanism and realist approach to lawyering to describe understanding of human condition that would tend to favor client without portraying an understandable scenario that would seem appropriate for his audience betraying nastalgia.


The Place Of History And Philosophy In The Moral Reading Of The American Constitution, James E. Fleming Jan 2009

The Place Of History And Philosophy In The Moral Reading Of The American Constitution, James E. Fleming

Faculty Scholarship

Dworkin argues that commitment to interpretive fidelity requires that we recognize that the Constitution embodies abstract moral principles rather than laying down a particular historical conception, and that interpreting those principles requires fresh judgments of political theory about how they are best understood. This interpretive strategy — Dworkin's ‘moral reading’ of the Constitution — stands in opposition to the narrow originalists' claim that interpretive fidelity requires following the rules laid down by the framers of the Constitution. Some theorists have responded to the originalists by attempting to carve out an intermediate theory between narrow originalism and the moral reading. Dworkin …

Constitutional Fidelity And The Commerce Clause: A Reply To Professor Ackerman, Elizabeth Price Foley, Elizabeth C. Price Jan 1998

Constitutional Fidelity And The Commerce Clause: A Reply To Professor Ackerman, Elizabeth Price Foley, Elizabeth C. Price

Faculty Publications

Can the Constitution be legitimately, albeit implicitly, amended by the Supreme Court? The possibility of implicit constitutional amendment - most forcefully advocated by Professor Bruce Ackerman as "transformative" Supreme Court decisions - has been articulated to justify, legitimate, and entrench various radical reinterpretations of the Constitution, most notably the New Deal Court's vast expansion of the power to regulate commerce. The article concludes that such implicit constitutional amendments are theoretically illegitimate and provide strong disincentives for "We the People" to become politically active in order to "correct" flaws in the original Constitution or interpretations thereof that are deemed no longer …
