Francis A. Allen, Terrance Sandalow
Francis A. Allen, Terrance Sandalow
Articles
Writing a brief tribute to Frank Allen, a man I admire as much as any I have known, should have been easy and pleasurable. It has proved to be very difficult. The initial difficulty is the occasion for the tribute. Frank's decision to take early retirement from the University and to resettle in a warmer climate deprives the Sandalows of frequent contact with two of our favorite people. The act of writing requires an acceptance of that loss that I have not yet achieved. A second difficulty is that Frank has been an important influence in my life for ...
Francis A. Allen: 'Confront[Ing] The Most Explosive Problems' And 'Plumbing All Issues To Their Full Depth Without Fear Or Prejudice', Yale Kamisar
Articles
Frank Allen began his distinguished teaching career more than thirty-five years ago - at a time when, at more law schools than we like to remember, "the basic criminal law course was routinely assigned to the youngest and most vulnerable member of the faculty or to that colleague suspected of mild brain damage and hence incompetent to deal with courses that really matter."' That those of us who taught criminal law years later were warmly received by our colleagues is in no small measure a tribute to the quality of mind and character and intellectual energy of people like Allen, Herbert ...
Government Responsibility For Constitutional Torts, Christina B. Whitman
Government Responsibility For Constitutional Torts, Christina B. Whitman
Articles
This essay is about the language used to decide when governments should be held responsible for constitutional torts.' Debate about what is required of government officials, and what is required of government itself, is scarcely new. What is new, at least to American jurisprudence, is litigation against government units (rather than government officials) for constitutional injuries. 2 The extension of liability to institutional defendants introduces special problems for the language of responsibility. In a suit against an individual official it is easy to describe the wrong as the consequence of individual behavior that is inconsistent with community norms; the language ...
Free Speech And Corporate Freedom: A Comment On First National Bank Of Boston V. Bellotti, Carl E. Schneider
Free Speech And Corporate Freedom: A Comment On First National Bank Of Boston V. Bellotti, Carl E. Schneider
Articles
The corporation was born in chains but is everywhere free. That freedom was recently affirmed by the United States Supreme Court in First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti. In Bellotti, the Court overturned a Massachusetts criminal statute forbidding banks and business corporations to make expenditures intended to influence referenda concerning issues not "materially affecting" the corporation's "property, business, or assets." In doing so, the Court confirmed its discovery that commercial speech is not unprotected by the first amendment and announced a novel doctrine that corporate speech is not unprotected by the first amendment. Although several years have passed ...
Integrity And Circumspection: The Labor Law Vision Of Bernard D. Meltzer, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Integrity And Circumspection: The Labor Law Vision Of Bernard D. Meltzer, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Articles
Bernard Meltzer has testified under oath that he "rarely take[s] absolute positions." The record bears him out. While his colleagues among labor law scholars often strain to demonstrate that the labor relations statutes and even the Constitution support their hearts' desires, the typical Meltzer stance is one of cool detachment, pragmatic assessment, and cautious, balanced judgment. The "itch to do good," Meltzer has remarked wryly, "is a doubtful basis for jurisdiction" -or, he would likely add, for any other legal conclusion. In this brief commentary I propose to examine the Meltzer approach to four broad areas of labor law ...

An Overview Of The Law Of Professional Responsibility: The Rules Of Professional Conduct Annotated And Analyzed, Robert H. Aronson
Articles
This Article contains two parts with different purposes. The first part consists of an introduction and critique of the recently adopted Washington Rules of Professional Conduct.

The second part of this Article consists of an overview of the law of professional responsibility in Washington. It follows the organization and rule sequence of the RPC, with annotations, applications, and interpretations from ...

Of Lollipops And Law -- A Proposal For A National Policy Concerning Tender Offer Defenses, Ted J. Fiflis
Of Lollipops And Law -- A Proposal For A National Policy Concerning Tender Offer Defenses, Ted J. Fiflis
Articles
Early last year, Mesa Petroleum Company made a tender offer for shares of Unocal Corporation in an effort to take over Unocal. Unocal responded by using the "lollipop" defense, which is a discriminatory issuer self-tender offer. Unocal's use of this defense resulted in huge economic losses to many of Unocal's small shareholders who were not knowledgeable about the ramifications of their participation or non-participation in the tender offer. The Delaware Supreme Court upheld Unocal's use of this defense as an appropriate exercise of business judgment. A federal district court in California refused to strike down the lollipop ...

Law's Halo, Donald H. Regan
Law's Halo, Donald H. Regan
Articles
Like many people these days, I believe there is no general moral obligation to obey the law. I shall explain why there is no such moral obligation - and I shall clarify what I mean when I say there is no moral obligation to obey the law - as we proceed. But also like many people, I am unhappy with a position that would say there was no moral obligation to obey the law and then say no more about the law's moral significance. In our thinking about law in a reasonably just society, we have a strong inclination to invest ...
Statutes Of Limitations In Minnesota Choice Of Law: The Problematic Return Of The Substance-Procedure Distinction, Laura Cooper
Statutes Of Limitations In Minnesota Choice Of Law: The Problematic Return Of The Substance-Procedure Distinction, Laura Cooper
Articles
Assume that you are an attorney seeking to determine the statute of limitations applicable in Minnesota to a case with multistate aspects. Perhaps you consult the Dunnell Minnesota Digest 2d, which states succinctly: "If a cause of action not arising in this state or accruing to a citizen thereof is barred by the law of another state it is barred here." 1 The encylopedia then states several corollary propositions for multistate cases with different fact patterns and provices numerous case citations in support of the propositions. What the reference unfortunately fails to tell you is that the legal propositions and ...
The Role Of The Ninth Circuit In The Development Of The Law Of Attempt To Monopolize, Daniel J. Gifford
The Role Of The Ninth Circuit In The Development Of The Law Of Attempt To Monopolize, Daniel J. Gifford
Articles
The attempt clause 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act deals with unilateral behavior which produces or is likely to produce significant anticompetitive consequences. Justice Holmes, in his classic statement of the attempt offense in Swift & Co. v. United States, 2 identified the elements of the offense as the defendant's intent to monopolize and the dangerous probability that the defendant would succeed. In the classic model of the offense, the defendant's intent resolves the ambiguity of the defendant's present behavior by showing that it is instrumental to the forbidden goal of monopolization.
International Legal Action Against Apartheid, David Weissbrodt, Georgina Mahoney
International Legal Action Against Apartheid, David Weissbrodt, Georgina Mahoney
Articles
Apartheid in Southern Africa represents one of the greatest challenges, one of the greatest success stories, and one of the most frustrating defeats of the international human rights movement. This article first introduces international human rights and the in- ternational law of human rights-particularly as they relate to apartheid.Second, the article sketches the work of the Interna- tional Court of Justice, which has rendered three significant human rights decisions concerning Namibia. Having begun to dis- cuss Namibia, the article also examines the work of the Security Council, General Assembly, and other United Nations bodies con- cerning Namibia.
Hostile Share Acquisitions And Corporate Governance: A Framework For Evaluating Antitakeover Activities, John H. Matheson, Jon R. Norberg
Hostile Share Acquisitions And Corporate Governance: A Framework For Evaluating Antitakeover Activities, John H. Matheson, Jon R. Norberg
Articles
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of hostile share acquisitions of American businesses. The authors examine the validity of the various defensive measures employed by target companies to defeat or deter a hostile takeover bid. They argue that antitakeover activity should not be viewed as a separate subset of legal analysis; rather, it should be analyzed according to four traditional principles of corporate governance: (1) the discretion afforded corporate management by the business judgment rule; (2) the prohibition against discriminating between members of the same class of shareholders; (3) the prohibition against shifting control ...
Criminal Procedure In A Conservative Age: A Time To Rediscover The Critical Nonconstitutional Issues, Richard Frase
Criminal Procedure In A Conservative Age: A Time To Rediscover The Critical Nonconstitutional Issues, Richard Frase
Articles
Criminal procedure is changing fast these days, but teachers of criminal procedure are not. Most of us have probably given considerable thought to the philosophical and doctrinal significance of the Supreme Court's increasingly conservative approach to constitutional issues, but have we thought about the broader pedagogic and professional implications of this major doctrinal shift? For me. the current conservative trend raises fundamental questions about the kinds of issues we should be addressing in our teaching, research, and public service activities. In particular. we need to start asking ourselves whether our traditional heavy emphasis on constitutional issues (which has been ...
The Three "Theme" Special Rapporteurs Of The Un Commission On Human Rights, David Weissbrodt
The Three "Theme" Special Rapporteurs Of The Un Commission On Human Rights, David Weissbrodt
Articles
In March 1982, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights initiated the appointment of a Special Rapporteur on Summary or Arbitrary Executions. The Special Rapporteur on Summary or Arbitrary Executions has done far more than merely study that grave human rights problem; he has received complaints about impending and past executions, issued appeals to governments about threatened executions and the need to investigate past killings, and reported publicly on much of his activity. The Commission on Human Rights not only has renewed the Special Rapporteur on Summary or Arbitrary Executions in its subsequent annual sessions, but has followed this precedent ...

Dancing On The Edge Of Article 9, James J. White
Dancing On The Edge Of Article 9, James J. White
Articles
Despite the fact that Article 9 is a much more comprehensive personal property security statute than was ever found in American law prior to its enactment, cases continue to present issues on the scope of the Article. Gone are the cases in which a court was called upon to determine whether a "conditional sales contract" could be dealt with under the "factor's lien" law; it is now clear that all such personal property security devices are governed by Article 9. Yet many problems remain for the unwary lawyer. I will identify several and deal in detail with three of ...
