The Place Of Law: The Role And Limits Of Law In Society, Larry Barnett
The Place Of Law: The Role And Limits Of Law In Society, Larry Barnett
Larry D Barnett
The Place of Law addresses two questions that are critical to understanding law. Why is law an evidently universal, enduring institution in modern societies? And why do the concepts and doctrines of law differ between jurisdictions (states or nations) at one point in time and vary within a jurisdiction over time? In this stimulating volume, Barnett suggests answers to these questions, and in doing so, he challenges popular assumptions regarding law in structurally complex, technologically advanced, democratic societies. In particular, Barnett questions the assumption that social behaviors central to such societies are effectively controlled by law and the assumption that …

The Public-Private Dichotomy In Morality And Law, Larry D. Barnett
The Public-Private Dichotomy In Morality And Law, Larry D. Barnett
Larry D Barnett
The article advances the thesis that the doctrines and concepts of law are attributable to the properties of society and to the forces molding these properties. The thesis, after being illustrated with the federal Investment Advisers Act, is assessed quantitatively using data from the General Social Survey. The Survey interviews a national sample of adults in U.S. households, and in 1991, it ascertained whether interviewees classified morality as a private matter or as a public issue. The social values of interviewees on the public-private nature of morality were the dependent variable in a study that assumed (i) an activity is …
The Financial Sector Upheaval Of 2008: Sociological Antecedents And Their Implications For Investment Company Regulation, Larry Barnett
The Financial Sector Upheaval Of 2008: Sociological Antecedents And Their Implications For Investment Company Regulation, Larry Barnett
Larry D Barnett
In 2008, the United States experienced a severe contraction in the availability of credit, a marked reduction in the price of common stocks, and an appreciable increase in interest rates on debt instruments issued by business entities and by state and local governments. The premise of the instant article is that, although this upheaval was economic in form and sudden in occurrence, it stemmed from change that was sociological in character and that started in prior decades. Specifically, the 2008 upheaval in finance is traced to a shift in social values among Americans - namely, an increased prevalence of hedonism …
Mutual Funds, Hedge Funds, And The Public-Private Dichotomy In A Macrosociological Framework For Law, Larry D. Barnett
Mutual Funds, Hedge Funds, And The Public-Private Dichotomy In A Macrosociological Framework For Law, Larry D. Barnett
Larry D Barnett
Macrosociology considers law to be one of the institutions of society and, hence, a fundamental component of a social system. Four macrosociological propositions underlie the instant paper: (i) the institutions comprising a social system are, in the long term, compatible with one another; (ii) the compatibility of institutions involves, inter alia, concepts that are similar or identical across at least some institutions; (iii) the concepts and doctrines of the institution of law manifest the properties, including the central values, of the social system; and (iv) the properties of the social system are fashioned by system-level forces. Because the propositions are …
Law As Symbol: Appearances In The Regulation Of Investment Advisers And Attorneys, Larry D. Barnett
Law As Symbol: Appearances In The Regulation Of Investment Advisers And Attorneys, Larry D. Barnett
Larry D Barnett
From a macrosociological perspective, law is an institution of society, is shaped by conditions in society, and facilitates social life by inter alia producing symbols. Law accordingly adopts concepts and principles that focus on the appearance to society of certain phenomena and that are symbols when the phenomena are socially significant. To illustrate symbols in law, the article examines (i) the "hold oneself out" standard in defining an investment adviser under the federal Investment Advisers Act and (ii) the standard for ethical conduct that requires attorneys to avoid appearances of impropriety. If symbolic concepts and principles are tied to the …
The Regulation Of Mutual Fund Names And The Societal Role Of Trust: An Exploration Of Section 35(D) Of The Investment Company Act, Larry D. Barnett
The Regulation Of Mutual Fund Names And The Societal Role Of Trust: An Exploration Of Section 35(D) Of The Investment Company Act, Larry D. Barnett
Larry D Barnett
Section 35(d) of the Investment Company Act authorizes the Securities and Exchange Commission to regulate the names of investment companies that are registered with the Commission, and bars registered investment companies -- the vast majority of which are mutual funds -- from using names that contain words “that the Commission finds are materially deceptive or misleading.” The article relates the regulation of investment company names to the importance to society of trust. Pertinent case law under section 35(d) is reviewed, and Rule 35d-1 is discussed. The article also considers fund names that are not covered either by section 35(d) or …

The Goals And Missions Of Law Schools, Larry Barnett, W. Van Alstyne, Joseph Julin
The Goals And Missions Of Law Schools, Larry Barnett, W. Van Alstyne, Joseph Julin
Larry D Barnett
This provocative study explores the reasons for the public perception of "too many lawyers" and the failure of current legal education to meet present needs for competent legal services at an affordable cost. The principal reason for that failure, the authors argue, lies in the unquestioning acceptance of a Prestige Model created almost a century ago. The success of that model, largely unaltered to this day, has acted as a constraint on curriculum modification geared to the realities of today's society. The explosions of knowledge, population and government regulation in recent decades require recognition of the need for substantial curriculum …

Population Policy And Law In The United States, Larry D. Barnett
Larry D Barnett
The article suggests that a fruitful approach to curbing fertility and alleviating population pressures in the United States may be to reduce the support that childbearing receives from publicly owned goods and publicly operated services. Law relevant to the thesis is reviewed. The Journal is published at the Harvard University School of Law by the Harvard Society for Law & Public Policy.
