Neutral No More: Secondary Effects Analysis And The Quiet Demise Of The Content-Neutrality Test, Mark Rienzi, Stuart Buck

Fordham Law Review

When the Supreme Court introduced the “secondary effects” doctrine to allow for zoning of adult businesses, critics fell into two camps. Some, like Justice William Brennan, predicted dire consequences for the First Amendment, particularly if the doctrine was used in political speech cases. Others, like Professor Laurence Tribe, predicted secondary effects analysis would be limited to sexually explicit speech and would not threaten the First Amendment.

A Fiduciary Theory Of Judging, Ethan J. Leib, David L. Ponet, Michael Serota

Faculty Scholarship

For centuries, legal theorists and political philosophers have unsuccessfully sought a unified theory of judging able to account for the diverse, and oftentimes conflicting, responsibilities judges possess. This paper reveals how the law governing fiduciary relationships sheds new light on this age-old pursuit, and therefore, on the very nature of the judicial office itself.
