Federalism, Congress, The States And The Tenth Amendment: Adrift In The Cellophane Sea, William Van Alstyne

Duke Law Journal

Like Gaul, this essay is divided into three parts. The first two parts are adapted from a public address delivered at the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, as part of its Bicentennial series, in 1987. The third part was added later, originally as an Addendum Note. The general subject was introduced by the moderator, Mr. Robert MacCrate, President of the American Bar Association, who put the following question: "Where does the federalism of the Constitution stand today?" Professor Martha Field of the Harvard Law School presented a paper in first response. This paper then followed, …


The International Patent System And Third World Development: Reality Or Myth?, A. Samuel Oddi Nov 1987

The International Patent System And Third World Development: Reality Or Myth?, A. Samuel Oddi

Duke Law Journal

This article examines the impact on Third World countries of their membership in the international patent system. Professor Oddi begins by discussing the traditional rationale for the existence of a patent system. He concludes that although this rationale may have some validity for developed countries, the rationale is not applicable to developing countries. The institution of a patent system in a developing country may confer significant social costs on that country; membership in the international patent system may exacerbate those costs. For those countries that do belong to the international patent system, Professor Oddi suggests changes to ameliorate the costs …

The Constitution In The Supreme Court: Civil Rights And Liberties, 1930-1941, David P. Currie Nov 1987

The Constitution In The Supreme Court: Civil Rights And Liberties, 1930-1941, David P. Currie

Duke Law Journal

This is the latest in Professor Currie's continuing series on the historical development of constitutional doctrine. In this article Professor Currie surveys the major decisions of the Supreme Court between 1930 and 1941 in the area of criminal procedure, civil rights and civil liberties. In the area of criminal procedure, Professor Currie concludes that in deciding what procedures were required or forbidden by due process, historical inquiry was displaced by a fundamental-rights test. In the area of civil liberties, Professor Currie concludes that the Court made modest progress. Finally, Professor Currie concludes that the Court's most important civil liberties work …

Interest Groups, Antitrust, And State Regulation: Parker V. Brown In The Economic Theory Of Legislation, William H. Page Sep 1987

Interest Groups, Antitrust, And State Regulation: Parker V. Brown In The Economic Theory Of Legislation, William H. Page

Duke Law Journal

The Parker doctrine requires that state regulatory arrangements seeking exemption from federal antitrust law be clearly articulated by the state "as sovereign." Professor Page argues that the clear-articulation requirement is justified because it reinforces representative political processes. He rejects Professor Wiley's capture preemption approach and the Supreme Court's analysis in Fisher v. City of Berkeley, arguing that both misconceive the nature of governmental relationships with interest groups. Professor Page concludes that the essentially collective nature of economic regulation supports adherence to the clear-articulation requirement as the measure of political legitimacy.

The Dormant Commerce Clause And The Constitutional Balance Of Federalism, Martin H. Redish, Shane V. Nugent Sep 1987

The Dormant Commerce Clause And The Constitutional Balance Of Federalism, Martin H. Redish, Shane V. Nugent

Duke Law Journal

Through the passage of time, the dormant commerce clause doctrine has acquired a patina of legitimacy; the doctrine frequently is used by the judiciary to overturn state regulation of commerce. Professor Martin Redish and Shane Nugent argue that time alone cannot legitimize such actions by the courts, and that the Constitution provides no textual basis for the exercise of this authority. Moreover, they contend that the doctrine actually undermines the carefully structured federal balance embodied in the text. They further argue that nontextual rationales are flawed, and that jurisprudence based on the text of the Constitution can deal adequately with …

Regulation Of Government Agencies Through Limitation Riders, Neal E. Devins Jun 1987

Regulation Of Government Agencies Through Limitation Riders, Neal E. Devins

Duke Law Journal

Congress often attaches limitation riders to appropriations bills to establish its policy directives. Professor Devins argues that the appropriations process is not the proper vehicle for substantive policymaking. In this article, he analyzes institutional characteristics that prevent the full consideration or articulation of policy in appropriations bills. Professor Devins also considers the extent to which Congress's use of limitation riders inhibits the effectiveness of the other branches of the federal government. Professor Devins concludes that, while Congress's use of limitation riders is sometimes necessary, Congress should be aware of the significant risks associated with policymaking through the appropriations process.
