Is Subjectivity Possible - The Post-Modern Subject In Legal Theory, James Boyle Jan 1991

Is Subjectivity Possible - The Post-Modern Subject In Legal Theory, James Boyle

Faculty Scholarship

This article puts forward a thesis and then attempts to prove (or at least to develop) that thesis in two related areas. The thesis is that legal theory in general, and critical legal theory in particular, has concentrated too much on critiques of objectivity, wrongly assuming that "subjectivity" was an unproblematic term. Subjectivity, like mortality, has seemed not only attainable but inevitable. It is objectivity which is presumed to be the problematic goal of our theories and our attempts at doctrinal interpretation. This article reverses the focus, concentrating on the construction of subjectivity in law and social theory... Having pointed …

The Enduring Example Of John Marshall Harlan: “Virtue As Practice” In The Supreme Court, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Scholarship

Twenty years after his last term on the Supreme Court, whatever else complimentary may be written of Justice John Marshall Harlan's sixteen years on the Court (1955-1971), it ought not be said that, in the era of the Warren Court, he was a leading champion of civil liberties and of civil rights.

To Confront Or Not To Confront: Measuring Claiming Rates In Discrimination Grievances, Neil Vidmar, Herbert M. Kritzer, W. A. Bogart Jan 1991

To Confront Or Not To Confront: Measuring Claiming Rates In Discrimination Grievances, Neil Vidmar, Herbert M. Kritzer, W. A. Bogart

Faculty Scholarship

This note reexamines the generally accepted belief that persons with discrimination-related grievances are much less likely to complain about their problem than are persons with grievances arising from consumer purchases, torts, or other common kinds of personal problems. We find that previously reported analyses greatly overstate the gap between complaining in discrimination problems and other kinds of problems. Drawing on data from three surveys, each conducted in a different country (the United States, Canada, and Australia), we find that for some types of discrimination problems the level of complaining in fact equals or exceeds complaining in other arenas.


Criminal Abortion Revisited, Samuel W. Buell Jan 1991

Criminal Abortion Revisited, Samuel W. Buell

Faculty Scholarship

This note focuses on the issue of the state's application of the criminal law as a sanction against women who choose to have abortions. History reveals that pre-Roe criminal-abortion law-both by its terms and in its application-expressed an incoherent attitude toward the culpability of these women. While criminal-abortion laws treated the abortionist as a serious felon, sending him to prison for up to twenty years,' the same statutes either did not cover the woman seeking an abortion, or, if the statutes did deem her a criminal, prosecutors and courts refused or neglected to hold her liable criminally. The law instead …

The Aftermath Of Injury: Cultural Factors In Compensation Seeking In Canada And The United States, Neil Vidmar, Herbert M. Kritzer, W. A. Bogart Jan 1991

The Aftermath Of Injury: Cultural Factors In Compensation Seeking In Canada And The United States, Neil Vidmar, Herbert M. Kritzer, W. A. Bogart

Faculty Scholarship

Injury is common in all societies. Americans are perceived as quick to respond to injury by turning to the legal system. This article compares compensation seeking by Americans and Canadians, examining the degree to which cultural factors shape the response of injured parties in the two countries and the extent to which resources and experiences influence individual action. Drawing on two large-scale telephone surveys, one conducted in five federal judicial districts around the United States and one conducted in the Canadian province of Ontario, the article looks at the factors that influence claiming and seeking legal assistance. The overall patterns …


The New Order In Judicial Rulemaking, Paul D. Carrington Jan 1991

The New Order In Judicial Rulemaking, Paul D. Carrington

Faculty Scholarship

Factional politics is jeopardizing the federal rulemaking process. What is needed is an independent group to organize efforts to protect the rules in Congress and to provide a constituency for the Supreme Court in the exercise of its authority under the Rules Enabling Act.
