The Human Rights Dilemma: Rethinking The Humanitarian Project, Deborah M. Weissman Jan 2004

The Human Rights Dilemma: Rethinking The Humanitarian Project, Deborah M. Weissman

Deborah M. Weissman

This Article provides an interpretive account of the human rights discourse at a time when the U.S. legal community is deepening its relationship with these issues. It maps the context of the human rights project over the past one hundred years, with a critical eye and as a cautionary tale. It reviews the historical circumstances and the ideological framework in which human rights have been appropriated as an instrument of national policy, often to the detriment of humanitarian objectives.

Post-Realism, Or The Jurisprudential Logic Of Late Capitalism: A Socio-Legal Analysis Of The Rise And Diffusion Of Law & Economics, Eric M. Fink Dec 2003

Post-Realism, Or The Jurisprudential Logic Of Late Capitalism: A Socio-Legal Analysis Of The Rise And Diffusion Of Law & Economics, Eric M. Fink

Eric M Fink

One problem that is ripe for socio-legal inquiry is the emergence and diffusion of the Law and Economics movement. A socio-legal approach would consider Law and Economics not simply as a style of legal analysis or a school of thought within law, but as a discursive project, constituted by and constitutive of an emergent socio-legal matrix. That approach would be attentive not only to the instrumental significance of Law and Economics, but also what difference, if any, Law and Economics makes in deciding legal cases; who employs and benefits from Law and Economics; and similar concerns. This approach would additionally …


General Causation At A Crossroads In Toxic Tort Cases, Alani Golanski Dec 2003

General Causation At A Crossroads In Toxic Tort Cases, Alani Golanski

Alani Golanski

Traditional approaches to specific causation are not feasible in toxic tort litigations.

The middle way relies on the new judicial acceptance of certain forms of statistical proof. Epidemiological findings, especially when conjoined with case-specific differential diagnosis testimony, support causal inferences and should be attainable in a wide variety of toxic tort cases.
