Symposium: Brown V. Board Of Education And Its Legacy: A Tribute To Justice Thurgood Marshall, Public Law Litigation And The Ambiguties Of Brown, Mark Tushnet

Fordham Law Review

Professor Tushnet posits that the Supreme Court's concern for gradually carrying out desegregation in the public schools ironically gave rise to "'public law litigation"---an aggressive form ofjudicial review. Specifically. Professor Tushnet argues that the "all deliberate speed" standard, which separated the right from the remedy, enabled the courts to become a more powerful institution in shaping social policy. Throughout his speech, Professor Tushnet provides insight into the thought processes of the Supreme Court justices at the time of the Brown decision.


A Stream Of Legal Consciousness: The Current Of Commerce Doctrine From Swift To Jones & Laughlin, Barry Cushman Jan 1992

A Stream Of Legal Consciousness: The Current Of Commerce Doctrine From Swift To Jones & Laughlin, Barry Cushman

Fordham Law Review

In this article on constitutional development and the New Deal Court. Professor Cushman argues that the conventional story of the Court's radical reversing of its jurisprudence in the face of the Court-packing plan is misconceived. The article instead seeks to demonstrate that Jones & Laughlin, one of the cases comprising the Constitutional Revolution of 1937 was conceptually, stylistically, and doctri- nally congruent with the Court's contemporary jurisprudence. The paradigm shift in commerce clause jurisprudence, Professor Cushman contends, came not in 1937, but in 1941 and 1942, after Roosevelt had had an opportunity to refash- ion the Court with a new …

Why So Many Lawyers? Are They Good Or Bad?, Robert C. Clark Jan 1992

Why So Many Lawyers? Are They Good Or Bad?, Robert C. Clark

Fordham Law Review

In this essay, Dean Clark examines the popular notion that the United States has too many lawyers and that this abundance burdens the nation. While acknowledging the great growth of law and lawyers in recent decades, Dean Clark argues that, before denouncing this trend, we should first seek to develop a fuller explanation of its causes and consequences. After discussing just what it is that lawyers do, Dean Clark critiques three current "cancerous growth" theories that attempt to explain why there has been such a great and unhealthy increase in the number of lawyers Dean Clark then offers and analyzes …


The Last Promissory Estoppel Article, Jay M. Feinman Jan 1992

The Last Promissory Estoppel Article, Jay M. Feinman

Fordham Law Review

In this essay, Professor Feinman argues that the doctrine of promissory estoppel has outlived its usefulness as a theory of contract Professor Feinman relies on an article written by Professors Edward Yorio and Steven Thel as an illustration of the debate over whether promissory estoppel is based upon the enforcement of promises or the protection of reliance. Professor Feinman rejects the conceptual framework upon which this debate is based and ultimately proposes that contract law should move to a relational analysis, ignoring the distinction between promise and reliance and replacing it with an analysis of the obligations involved in a …

He then examines the perennial controversies over congressional compensation in American historiy elucidating how in the 1980s and 1990s public anger at Congress reached critical mass sufficient to propel the 1789 compensation amendment into the Constitution. Finally, this …


Dances With Nonlawyers: A Perspective On Law Firm Diversification, Gary A. Munneke Jan 1992

Dances With Nonlawyers: A Perspective On Law Firm Diversification, Gary A. Munneke

Fordham Law Review

In this Article, Professor Munneke continues the debate over ethical rules governing lawyers' professional affiliations with nonlawyers, arguing in favor of the adoption of uniform rules that regulate lawyers' conduct in the context of specific ethical issues, such as confidentiality and conflicts of interest. In Professor Munneke's view, the retention of ethical rules that prohibit law firm diversification impedes the ability of lawyers to compete effectively in today's rapidly changing marketplace of professional services. Professor Munneke moreover questions whether state bar association rules that prohibit law firm diversification are capable of withstanding judicial scrutiny under the federal antitrust laws and …

Fordham Law Review

Justice Marshall was part of the majority in desegregation cases during his earlier years on the high Court subsequently, however, his role became one of dissenter.

Finally, the Article assesses the vitality of this legacy in light of two Supreme Court decisions issued after Justice Marshall's retirement.


The Value Of Friendship In Law And Literature, Michael J. Kaufman Jan 1992

The Value Of Friendship In Law And Literature, Michael J. Kaufman

Fordham Law Review

Once thought to be indespensible to a good life, the value of friendship has been swept away by the most recent trends in philosophical, literary, and legal thought. After tracing the subtle decline in the value of friendship, this Article employs these very trends to redefine and resurrect that value, particularly within American law. A good work of art is one which elevates its own art-form by successfully channeling the anxiety of influence created by competing art forms. A good judicial opinion, therefore, is one which elevates the art of judging above strong competing arts such as philosophy and literature. …


Toxic Reproductive And Genetic Hazards In The Workplace: Challenging The Myths Of The Tort And Workers' Compensation Systems, Jean Macchiaroli Eggen Jan 1992

Toxic Reproductive And Genetic Hazards In The Workplace: Challenging The Myths Of The Tort And Workers' Compensation Systems, Jean Macchiaroli Eggen

Fordham Law Review

In this Article, Professor Eggen discusses how various scientific studies suggest a causal connection between workers' reproductive and genetic injuries and their exposure to toxins in the workplace. Because of conflicts between scientific and legal causation standards, workers and affected family members often cannot prove a sufficient causal connection between toxic exposure and ensuing injury to recover under existing workers' compensation and tort laws. Thus, Professor Eggen proposes several specific reforms to both the workers' compensatoin and tort law systems to improve the availability of these relief mechanisms for toxic exposure victims.
