Textualism Today: Scalia’S Legacy And His Lasting Philosophy, Chase Wathen
Textualism Today: Scalia’S Legacy And His Lasting Philosophy, Chase Wathen
University of Miami Law Review
Appointed to the Supreme Court in 1986 by President Reagan, Justice Antonin Scalia redefined the philosophy of textualism. Although methods like the plain meaning rule had been around for over a century, the textualist philosophy of today was not mainstream. While Scalia’s textualism is thought to be a conservative philosophy, Scalia consistently maintained that it was judicial restraint rather than conservatism at the heart of his method. The key tenant of Scalia’s new textualism was an outright rejection of legislative history, which he often brought up in opinions only to mock and dismiss as irrelevant. Starting with the hypothesis that …

Reconceiving Ethics For Judicial Law Clerks, Gregory Bischoping
Reconceiving Ethics For Judicial Law Clerks, Gregory Bischoping
St. Mary's Journal on Legal Malpractice & Ethics
Judicial law clerks hold a unique and critical position in our legal system. They play a central part in the functioning of the judiciary, oftentimes writing the first draft of their judge’s opinions and serving as their trusted researcher and sounding board. Moreover, they are privy to the many highly confidential processes and private information behind the important work of the judiciary. It stands to reason the comprehensive set of ethical duties that bind the world of lawyers and judges should also provide guidance for judicial law clerks. The most important among those ethics rules is a duty of confidentiality. …

Law And Literature In The Work Of Robert Cover, Tawia Ansah
Law And Literature In The Work Of Robert Cover, Tawia Ansah
Touro Law Review
This Article argues that although Robert Cover seems to discount the role and the practical efficacy of literary texts within the context of legal interpretation, Cover’s work nevertheless discloses an extensive exploration of literature and of literary interpretation to frame his own legal interpretive practices. This is particularly the case regarding the development of his theory of law’s violence. The Article attempts to show that a close reading of Cover’s interpretation of literary texts in the service of his legal analyses discloses a buried theme pursuant to the violence of law: the threshold concept, between law and not-law, of the …

Lawyering Paradoxes: Making Meaning Of The Contradictions, Susan P. Sturm
Lawyering Paradoxes: Making Meaning Of The Contradictions, Susan P. Sturm
Faculty Scholarship
Effective lawyering requires the ability to manage contradictory yet interdependent practices. In their role as traditionally understood, lawyers must fight, judge, debate, minimize risk, and advance clients’ interests. Yet increasingly, lawyers must ALSO collaborate, build trust, innovate, enable effective risk-taking, and hold clients accountable for adhering to societal values. Law students and lawyers alike struggle, often unproductively, to reconcile these tensions. Law schools often address them as a dilemma requiring a choice or overlook the contradictions that interfere with their integration.
This Article argues instead that these seemingly contradictory practices can be brought together through the theory and action of …
