Developments In Antitrust And The First Amendment: The Disaggregation Of Noerr, Stephen Calkins Jan 1988

Developments In Antitrust And The First Amendment: The Disaggregation Of Noerr, Stephen Calkins

Law Faculty Research Publications

A legal doctrine conceived in ambiguity seldom achieves clarity with the passage of time. Such had been the experience with the Noerr-Penningon doctrine, the principal focus of this article. In its first Noerr-Pennington decision in 16 years, Allied Tube & Conduit Corp. v. Indian Head, Inc., the Supreme Court created new uncertainties. However, it also offered hope for resolution of some of the inconsistencies that have plagued the doctrine. It did this by distinguishing sharply between harm caused directly by petitioning activity (for which petitioners may be liable), and harm caused by requested government action (for which petitioners may …

Holmes And Brandeis: Libertarian And Republican Justifications For Free Speech, Pnina Lahav Jan 1988

Holmes And Brandeis: Libertarian And Republican Justifications For Free Speech, Pnina Lahav

Faculty Scholarship

Writing The Name of the Rose, observed Umberto Eco, made him aware of the "echoes of intertextuality." He discovered what "Homer, Rabelais and Cervantes have always known: . . .books always speak of other books, and every story tells a story that has already been told."' The same applies to political and legal theories: they weave the past into the present. Thus, in articulating justifications for freedom of speech, one may look to modern works such as Milton or John Stuart Mill, or one may reach farther back to Aristotle, Plato or Pericles. The choice of intellectual sources as …

Nicknamed the Wobblies, this group advocated a form of militant unionism built around the ideal of One Big Union embracing all industries. The I.W.W. enjoyed its strongest appeal among the miners, loggers, agricultural laborers, and construction workers of …

Articles & Book Chapters

We have seen in recent years a growing demand to recognize the victims’ rights and needs. In Canadian jurisdictions this has resulted in the introduction of victims-witness assistance programs that are designed to provide support to a victim of crime throughout the court process. Compensation boards have also been set up to provide financial remuneration w those who have suffered injury or loss at the hands of the perpetrator of the crime. In the United States, however, a more aggressive scheme for providing victim redress has been adopted by a number of the state legislatures. These "Son of Sam" laws, …
