The Nature Of The Contract Argument, David B. Lyons Aug 1974

The Nature Of The Contract Argument, David B. Lyons

Faculty Scholarship

As truth is the first virtue of belief, so justice is of social institutions. That is John Rawls's view, and it seems true, at any rate, of the law. Official acts, laws, and legal arrangements generally are characterized as just or unjust, while other moral categories are much less frequently invoked. Justice seems inseparable from good law. It is therefore striking and important that justice has recently been regarded by prominent legal theorists as rationally disreputable--as, in Kelsen's words, "an irrational idea." Many divergent conceptions of social justice have been propounded, and it is held that there is no rational …

Implications Of Minority Interest And Stock Restrictions In Valuing Closely-Held Shares, Alan L. Feld Apr 1974

Implications Of Minority Interest And Stock Restrictions In Valuing Closely-Held Shares, Alan L. Feld

Faculty Scholarship

The federal estate and gift taxes levy on the gratuitous transfer of wealth by both testamentary and lifetime disposition. The amount of the tax depends on the value placed on the property transferred by the decedent or donor. When the property transferred consists of shares of stock in a closely held corporation, there often exists no ready market to help in valuation. As a result, the value of the shares used to compute the federal estate or gift tax must be determined first by appraising the value of the enterprise, and then by allocating some portion of that value to …


Book Review: Woman's Consciousness, Man's World, Elizabeth Rapaport Jan 1974

Book Review: Woman's Consciousness, Man's World, Elizabeth Rapaport

Faculty Scholarship

Abstract of Book Review only. Women's Consciousness, Man's World is the third of Sheila Rowbotham's three recent books to reach the United States. In Women, Resistance and Revolution Rowbotham ranged over the history of pre-industrial and industrial Europe, the Russian, the Chinese and the more contemporary third world revolutions in Cuba, Algeria and Vietnam. She sought to recover the origins, development and fates of feminist ideas and movements, and most particularly their interaction with socialist movements, in opposition and in power. In Hidden From History she gives more detailed consideration to the history of feminism and socialism in England. With …


Flexibility, The Uniform Probate Code's Procedural Article And Some Comparisons With Kentucky Statutes, James W. Gordon Jan 1974

Flexibility, The Uniform Probate Code's Procedural Article And Some Comparisons With Kentucky Statutes, James W. Gordon

Faculty Scholarship

The present state of the law in America governing the succession to decedents' estates is badly in need of reform. There is a growing awareness of the inadequacy of present probate procedure even among ordinary citizens unschooled in the law. The public awareness of the problems of probate and its demand for reform are apparent from the spate of articles and books which have dealt with probate "pains" and methods for avoiding them. This demand and the efforts of reform-minded scholars have culminated in a proposed solution--the Uniform Probate Code (UPC). This Author argues that the probate scheme of the …

The Uses Of Scientific Information In Environmental Decision Making, Marcia R. Gelpe Jan 1974

The Uses Of Scientific Information In Environmental Decision Making, Marcia R. Gelpe

Faculty Scholarship

This Article explores the response of the legal system to the uncertainty which is inherent in the scientific analysis of environmental impact. The first principle of due process is that the assignment of responsibility correspond with the actor who did in fact cause the injury. We argue that existing concepts of cause-in-fact, the foundation of liability, place potentially severe constraints on the ability of the legal system to respond to the need to minimize the risks of future environmental injury. Further, these constraints exist to some degree regardless of whether the prohibitions or restrictions take the form of adjudication, administrative …

A Political And Constitutional Review Of United States V. Nixon, William W. Van Alstyne Jan 1974

A Political And Constitutional Review Of United States V. Nixon, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Scholarship

This comparison of United States v. Nixon and the Pentagon Papers case finds the greatest similarity and significance shared by the two cases was the anti-climactic nature of their conclusions. While both cases concerned constitutional questions of the highest order, centered around the scope of the executive power, both cases were drawn on such narrow grounds that there was hardly any effect on constitutional law doctrine.

Hart And Wechsler's The Federal Courts And Federal System, Henry Paul Monaghan Jan 1974

Hart And Wechsler's The Federal Courts And Federal System, Henry Paul Monaghan

Faculty Scholarship

The first edition of Hart & Wechsler's The Federal Courts and the Federal System, published in i953, has deservedly achieved a reputation that is extraordinary among casebooks and, indeed, rare even among learned treatises. Hart & Wechsler I is more than a stimulating collection of cases and basic source material, and its scope is not confined to the operation and functioning of the federal courts in the federal system. Through its extensive notes and its inimitable leading questions, the book constantly raised questions which have "prodded … students and [teachers] to think over their heads about the deepest problems …
