Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
In considering American common law doctrines shaped during the nineteenth century, commentators have advanced differing theories on the primary judicial criteria employed by judges. Recent studies have argued that these doctrines reflect a criterion of economic efficiency. This work has been criticized for its failure to explain why there seems to be a correlation between efficiency and these decision rules or why judges might have preferred efficiency over other decisional criteria. Other studies have proposed that many judicial doctrines announced before the Civil War were intended to facilitate or ratify major shifts in the distribution of social wealth. This article …

The Supreme Court In American Popular Culture, Maxwell Bloomfield
Scholarly Articles
Until quite recently the judiciary—and the federal judiciary in particular—has been largely neglected by American novelists and playwrights. Literary historians such as Joseph Blotner and Gordon Milne, who have studied the American political novel in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, have found an abundance of works dealing with legislative or executive skullduggery, but only a handful of titles that examine issues of judicial power. Such relative disinterest in our noblesse de robe seems easily explainable. Judges have always been less visible to the public than, say, Congressmen or Governors, and the business of judging does not lend itself readily to …

In the spring of 958, Justice Harold Burton informed President Eisenhower of his decision to retire at the end of the Term, but, at the President's request, withheld public announcement until the latter was ready to name a successor. In September, Eisenhower appointed Potter Stewart, who became, at age forty-three, the second youngest person to serve on the Supreme Court since the Civil War.

Voir Dire In Kentucky: An Empirical Study Of Voir Dire In Kentucky Circuit Courts, William H. Fortune
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Voir dire is the stage of a jury trial at which prospective jurors are questioned under oath by court or counsel to determine their suitability as jurors in the case to be tried. Kentucky's high court has repeatedly recognized the importance of voir dire to the exercise of for-cause and peremptory challenges.
The trial judge's wide discretion in voir dire, however, necessarily makes a review of appellate decisions of minimal assistance in ascertaining what actually occurs during this important phase of a jury trial. Published opinions provide little guidance in this area; information about voir dire must come from a …

Is Washington Ready For Merit Selection Of Judges, Hugh D. Spitzer, William S. Bailey
Is Washington Ready For Merit Selection Of Judges, Hugh D. Spitzer, William S. Bailey
Articles
In 1980, Seattle established a judicial merit selection process for the Seattle Municipal Court, based on an approach used in many other jurisdictions and by the federal government under President Carter. The Seattle plan represents the first time a merit selection commission of lawyers and lay people has been used for nonfederal appointments in Washington. The two individuals subsequently appointed to the Seattle Municipal Court have gone through one of this state's most rigorous judicial selection processes.
In this article, we will review how judges are presently selected in this state, the various methods of choosing judges in other jurisdictions …

Two Modes Of Legal Thought, George P. Fletcher
Faculty Scholarship
We should begin with a confession of ignorance. We have no jurisprudence of legal scholarship. Scholars expatiate at length on the work of other actors in the legal culture – legislators, judges, prosecutors, and even practicing lawyers. Yet we reflect little about what we are doing when we write about the law. We have a journal about the craft of teaching, but none about the craft of scholarship.
In view of our ignorance, we should pay particular heed to our point of departure. I start with the observation that legal scholarship expresses itself in a variety of verbal forms. Descriptive …
