Nuremberg Sensibility: Telford Taylor's Memoir Of The Nuremberg Trials, Kenneth Anderson

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

This brief 1994 book review essay (5500 words) examines Telford Taylor's memoir, The Anatomy of the Nuremberg Trials (1992). The review is a personal one, set against two things - the author's work, while reading Taylor's memoir, in Iraq for Human Rights Watch leading a forensic team excavating Kurdish victims of the 1988 al-Anfal campaign, and the diplomatic discussions leading to the formation of the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia. The essay argues that the Nuremberg trials, according to Taylor, had a certain deflationary emotional affect - deliberately ratcheting down the emotions of what had occurred to the limited world …

Anatomy Of A Regulatory Program: Comment On 'Strategic Regulators And The Choice Of Rulemaking Procedures', Jeffrey Lubbers Jan 1994

Anatomy Of A Regulatory Program: Comment On 'Strategic Regulators And The Choice Of Rulemaking Procedures', Jeffrey Lubbers

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Besides being a very interesting, cogent, and even a tidy study, "Strategic Regulators" sheds some bright light on agency behavior and on the important issue of whether agency rulemaking may be "ossifying."

They started with all of the Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA's") hazardous waste regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") appearing in the Code of Federal Regulations ("CFR"), counting each decimal point CFR number as a separate rule. This yielded 697 rules. They then examined all EPA/RCRA guidance documents issued since the inception of the program …
