Introduction: The Voices And Groups That Will Preserve (What We Can Preserve Of) Judicial Independence, John Q. Barrett
Introduction: The Voices And Groups That Will Preserve (What We Can Preserve Of) Judicial Independence, John Q. Barrett
Faculty Publications
As the 1996 election year commenced, the leading issues of the day included welfare reform, late-term abortions, Bosnia, immigration, drugs, taxes, the budget deficit, and the budget impasse that had shut parts of the federal government. The "hot" national issues did not include judicial philosophy, federal judicial appointments, individual judges or particular judicial decisions. Within weeks, however, that changed, thanks to a single judicial opinion. On January 22, 1996, United States District Judge Harold Baer, Jr., decided a pretrial motion to suppress evidence in the then (and now) obscure New York federal drug prosecution of a woman from Detroit named …
Residential Zoning Regulations And The Perpetuation Of Apartheid, Janai S. Nelson
Residential Zoning Regulations And The Perpetuation Of Apartheid, Janai S. Nelson
Faculty Publications
In January of 1996, the South African Parliament ratified the long-awaited Land Reform (Labour Tenants) Bill, which has engendered heated controversy since its inception. For many, the success of the Land Reform Bill portends the economic and political future of South Africa and is a gauge of apartheid's vital signs. Without land, most South Africans would remain in the same impoverished and disenfranchised conditions that they were in under the apartheid regime. With land, however, South Africans have an improved chance to achieve economic equality. Land reform and land use have become particularly crucial issues in light of President Mandela's …
Corporate Fiduciary Principles For The Post-Contractarian Era, Rutheford B. Campbell Jr.
Corporate Fiduciary Principles For The Post-Contractarian Era, Rutheford B. Campbell Jr.
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
The impact of the law and economics movement on legal scholarship, legal analysis, and, ultimately, on the rules under which our society operates is substantial. The proponents of this movement ("Contractarians") articulate their positions skillfully and apply their principles broadly across the entire spectrum of our laws, including, of course, the area of corporate law.
The purpose of this Article is to propose, explain, and defend broad and unifying principles to guide the development of fiduciary duties of corporate managers in the post-Contractarian period. These principles are based on Pareto criteria, which are demonstrably appealing to society and provide workable …

The System Worked: Our Schizophrenic Stance On Welfare, Robert L. Tsai
The System Worked: Our Schizophrenic Stance On Welfare, Robert L. Tsai
Faculty Scholarship
This is a review of Steven M. Teles's book, Whose Welfare? AFDC and Elite Politics (University Press of Kansas, 1996), which argues that welfare policy reflects a dynamic of elite dissensus, in which public policy fails to reflect popular opinion. I make two central points in the review: first, there are reasons to believe that welfare policy does, in fact, reflect a deeply conflicted American electorate; and second, such a conflict may reveal a healthy deliberative order struggling to reconcile changing priorities with enduring values.
Representations Of Law In Popular Culture: Knowledge Constructions, Media Deconstructions, Virginia Rivalland
Representations Of Law In Popular Culture: Knowledge Constructions, Media Deconstructions, Virginia Rivalland
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
This thesis investigates law and analyses its representations in popular culture. Law is a powerful institution within western society with a regulatory role that is supported by a range of complementary discourses that accord with society's dominant cultural values. This thesis proposes that while such institutional hegemony is never stable as there is always an expectation of challenge or resistance, law is currently experiencing a series of challenges on numerous fronts. Legal commentators themselves acknowledge that law now faces a ‘crisis of confidence' that may affect its status and impact on its power to control and regulate. Media are cultural …

J.E.B. V. Alabama Ex Rel. T.B.: Gender-Based Peremptory Challenges On Trial, Stacey L. Wichterman
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This note examines the United States Supreme Court decision holding that litigators may not discriminate on the basis of gender during the process of selecting jurors in that it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In addition to discussing the history of peremptory challenges and jury selection, the author proposes a limitation on the number of peremptory challenges allowed during jury selection. In doing so, the author explains that peremptory challenges have historically been a useful and integral part of jury selection, but the process is now a fertile ground for abuse. The author concludes that unless …

Schiro V. Farley: If At First You Don't Succeed, Trial And Trial Again; The Demise Of The Double Jeopardy Clause Within The Context Of Capital Punishment, Patrick L. Edgerton
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This note examines the United States Supreme Court decision allowing a trial judge in the sentencing phase to use as an aggravating circumstance to impose the death penalty, an element of which the jury was silent in the guilt or innocence phase. The author contends that the majority's application of the Double Jeopardy Clause, including the doctrines of collateral estoppel amid implied acquittal, was not only erroneous but also inconsistent in light of the Court's prior holdings treating capital cases as two trials: (1) guilt or innocence phase; and (2) sentencing phase. Focusing on the "trial-like" nature of the sentencing …
The Public Figure Doctrine: A Reexamination Of Gertz V. Robert Welch, Inc., In Light Of Lower Federal Court Public Figure Formulations, Mark D. Walton
The Public Figure Doctrine: A Reexamination Of Gertz V. Robert Welch, Inc., In Light Of Lower Federal Court Public Figure Formulations, Mark D. Walton
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This article focuses new attention oi the United States Supreme Court decision in Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., the seminal defamation case in which the Court sets out the current test for determining whether a defamation plaintiff is a public figure. The Courts of Appeals have differed in their formulations of the Gertz test, which in turn has led to inconsistent application of the public figure doctrine. Through an examination of the history of defamation law and an analysis of recent lower court public figure decisions, the author posits that the Gertz test is unlikely to ever be universally applied.

Retroactive Taxation: United States V. Carlton -- The Taxpayer Loses Again!, Ronald Z. Domsky
Retroactive Taxation: United States V. Carlton -- The Taxpayer Loses Again!, Ronald Z. Domsky
Northern Illinois University Law Review
Unlike criminal laws, the ex post facto constitutional protection does not extend to civil tax matters. Nor are the words "fairness" or "equity" found anywhere in the Internal Revenue Code. Even as this is written, Congress is debating major tax changes, some of which may be retroactive. Should taxpayers be required to plan their financial affairs always subject to pending tax legislation or legislation that hasn't even yet been proposed? The Carlton case is one of the most egregious examples of taxpayer abuse in this area.
Awareness Of Meaning In Libel Law: An Interdisciplinary Communication & Law Critique, Clay Calvert
Awareness Of Meaning In Libel Law: An Interdisciplinary Communication & Law Critique, Clay Calvert
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This article critiques, from a communication and law perspective, a proposal to add another element to the already complex calculus of constitutional libel law. The element--a subjective state of mind hurdle closely akin to the actual malice standard--requires libel plaintiffs to prove that defendants were aware of the defamatory meaning conveyed by their messages at the time of publication. The article suggests that while free speech and press interests under the First Amendment may militate in favor of courts adopting this element, it: 1) conflicts with tie reality of communication processes inherent in meaning determination; 2) denigrates the pivotal roles …
Designing A "System For Idiots": An Analysis Of The Impracticality Of Davis V. United States On Ambiguous Waivers Of The Right To The Presence Of Counsel, William G. Worobec
Designing A "System For Idiots": An Analysis Of The Impracticality Of Davis V. United States On Ambiguous Waivers Of The Right To The Presence Of Counsel, William G. Worobec
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This article explains the United States Supreme Court holding that police, upon a suspect's equivocal reference to their Fifth Amendment right to the presence of counsel during interrogation, are no longer required to clarify the suspect's true intent. The author contends the majority was erroneous in holding equivocal waivers to be equivalent to clear waivers, and that the decision could not be reconciled with Miranda and its progeny. The Court has impermissibly placed the burden of a mastery of the law on the less knowledgeable suspect, and consideration need be given to existing lower court proposals, or a modification thereof …
