Success, Status, And The Goals Of A Law School, Jay Conison
Success, Status, And The Goals Of A Law School, Jay Conison
Law Faculty Publications
We all want to be successful, even if we can’t quite articulate what “success” means. Some of us measure success by wealth—a bumper sticker reads, “Whoever dies with the most toys, wins.” Some measure success by power. Others measure it by positive influence on the lives of others—hence, the many who choose public service, or teaching, or a career in one of the helping professions. Still others—the Aristotelians among us—measure success synoptically, by the ability to look back on a fulfilled and moral life.

La Vida Considerada Como Cosa: Un Error Norteamericano Fundamental, Richard Stith
La Vida Considerada Como Cosa: Un Error Norteamericano Fundamental, Richard Stith
Law Faculty Publications
El autor explica un error fundamental que puede subyacer a la aprobación, por el Tribunal Supremo norteamericano en el año 2000, del aborto durante el parto. Este error consiste en concebir la vida física como una mera cosa, como algo que puede existir sin que haya un ser humano que la viva. En cuanto al aborto, el error radica en la confusión entre desarrollo y construcción (del feto), confusión debida en parte a ciertas creencias medievales ya superadas por la ciencia moderna. En la segunda mitad del artículo, el autor sostiene que un error semejante puede proporcionar fácilmente un argumento …

Imperio Del Derecho Versus Imperio De Los Jueces, Richard Stith
Imperio Del Derecho Versus Imperio De Los Jueces, Richard Stith
Law Faculty Publications
¿Es posible el imperio del derecho (rule of law)? El derecho, para imperar, debe ser impuesto. Pero cuando es impuesto, puede no ser el derecho mismo sino aquellos que lo imponen quienes imperen. Para sujetar estas autoridades firmemente al derecho, ellas también tendrían que estar sometidas no sólo al derecho mismo sino a una fuerza aún más poderosa que podría ser igualmente arbitraria. De este modo, el sólo esfuerzo por asegurar el imperio del derecho conduce a la creación de potenciales tiranos cada vez más poderosos.
Dicho de otro modo: si se suprimen la policía y los tribunales de justicia, …
