Justice, Bureaucracy, And Legal Method, Jospeh Vining Dec 1981

Justice, Bureaucracy, And Legal Method, Jospeh Vining

Articles

In the real world justice denied is not justice. Talking from the beginning about access to justice, rather than simply justice, emphasizes in a salutary way this commonplace of citizen and client. Justice that is inaccessible, delayed, refused does not just sit there glowing like a grail, which those separated from it may contemplate and yearn for. It is only in imagining that justice is available to someone, and in imagining what it would be like to be that someone, that one can see the thing as justice at all. To put it in economic terms, justice is not a …

The Proper Role Of A Target's Management In Responding To A Tender Offer, Frank H. Easterbrook, Daniel R. Fischel Apr 1981

The Proper Role Of A Target's Management In Responding To A Tender Offer, Frank H. Easterbrook, Daniel R. Fischel

Articles

Under existing federal and state law, a corporation's managers can resist and often defeat a premium tender offer without liability to either the corporation's shareholders or the unsuccessful tender offeror. Professors Easterbrook and Fischel argue that resistance by a corporation's managers to premium tender offers, even if it triggers a bidding contest, ultimately decreases shareholder welfare. Shareholders would be better off, the authors claim, were such resistance all but proscribed. The authors consider, but find wanting, a number of potential criticisms of their analysis; they conclude by proposing a rule of mangerial passivity capable of controlling resistance in actual cases.

Public Programs And Private Rights, Cass R. Sunstein, Richard B. Stewart Jan 1981

Public Programs And Private Rights, Cass R. Sunstein, Richard B. Stewart

Articles

By what right may courts seek to remedy deficient administrative performance, and by what methods should they do so? This question has been answered in fits and starts, in the context of several existing remedies: rights to contest regulatory impositions, hearing rights concerning government benefits, implied rights of action, and most recently, rights to require an agency itself to take enforcement action. Professors Stewart and Sunstein offer a theory to explain both the conceptual similarities and the evolutionary differences among these remedies. They show how the remedies are linked with particular conceptions of the deepest purposes particular statutes are meant …

Fact-Finding By International Nongovernmental Human Rights Organizations, David Weissbrodt, James Mccarthy

Articles

There are a considerable number of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) engaged in overseeing the implementation of human rights by governments throughout the world.1 Working at the international2 and national levels,s these organizations function as unofficial ombudsmen safeguarding human rights against govern- mental infringement, using such techniques as diplomatic initia- tives,4 reports,5 public statements,6 efforts to influence the deliber- ations of intergovernmental human rights bodies, campaigns to mobilize public opinion,8 and attempts to affect the foreign policy of some countries with respect to their relations with other coun- tries that regularly commit human rights violations.9


Juvenile Court Legislative Reform And The Serious Young Offender: Dismantling The "Rehabilitative Ideal", Barry C. Feld Jan 1981

Juvenile Court Legislative Reform And The Serious Young Offender: Dismantling The "Rehabilitative Ideal", Barry C. Feld

Articles

There are two principal mechanisms for transferring juvenile offenders to the adult criminal justice process. The most common mechanism is judicial waiver; the alternative is legislative waiver, i.e., the legislature redefines juvenile court jurisdiction to exclude from juvenile courts those youths charged with certain offenses. During 1980, the Minnesota Legislature actively reviewed the State's juvenile code and significantly modified several provisions focusing on the serious young offender, the certification process, and the interface between the juvenile and criminal courts in sentencing. Under the new legislation, the exclusively benevolent and rehabilitative purpose of the juvenile court remains only for children alleged …

The 1980 U.N. Commission On Human Rights And The Disappeared, David Kramer, David Weissbrodt

Articles

When the public debate began at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights on the question of disappeared persons, the atmosphere in the huge assembly hall was tense and expectant. The public gallery was jammed with the wives and families of those persons who had been "disappeared"- arrested, tortured, imprisoned, or possibly killed by governments which refused to admit any knowledge or responsibility. The concerned audience came from all over the world. A few had even been disappeared themselves, but had managed to escape.
