Hypnotic Memories And Civil Sexual Abuse Trials, Jacqueline Kanovitz
Hypnotic Memories And Civil Sexual Abuse Trials, Jacqueline Kanovitz
Vanderbilt Law Review
In the next few paragraphs, the reader will eavesdrop on a psycho- therapy session. During this session, the therapist uses hypnosis, a common technique in clinical practice today. In the past, the legal system has paid little attention to the memory retrieval techniques used in psychotherapy because statutes of limitations have prevented patients from using memories of childhood wrongs uncovered in adult psycho-therapies to bring suit. However, recent changes will force the legal system to examine whether the memory restoring techniques used in psychotherapy can produce memory that is trustworthy enough for the legal system to accept. What follows is …
'Atomistic Man' Revisited: Liberalism, Connection, And Feminist Jurisprudence, Linda C. Mcclain
'Atomistic Man' Revisited: Liberalism, Connection, And Feminist Jurisprudence, Linda C. Mcclain
Faculty Scholarship
One of the major strains of feminist jurisprudence has criticized American law, and the liberal jurisprudence and political philosophy on which it is said to be grounded, as male or masculine.' A central theme of the critique has been that the law embodies a masculine perspective in emphasizing autonomy and the individual over interdependency and the community. Liberalism has been viewed as inextricably masculine in its model of separate, atomistic, competing individuals establishing a legal system to pursue their own interests and to protect them from others' interference with their rights to do so. Hence, it is said that liberal, …

The Survival Of Civil Law In North America: The Case Of Louisiana, Thomas E. Carbonneau
The Survival Of Civil Law In North America: The Case Of Louisiana, Thomas E. Carbonneau
Journal Articles
There are legitimate historical reasons for speaking seriously about a civil law heritage in Louisiana. French and Spanish civilian influences permeated the Louisiana Civil Code when it was first enacted in 1808. The current status of the civil law in Louisiana, however, is problematic; the American common law methodology has made significant inroads into the operation of the current legal system. Separated from its parenting source by geography, time, and culture, Louisiana civil law has become an ill-defined civilian entity that, in reality, is more of a common law process with civil law trappings. The civil law nonetheless has a …

The Revitalization Of The Common-Law Civil Writ Of Audita Querela As A Post-Conviction Remedy In Criminal Cases: The Immigration Context And Beyond, Ira Robbins
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Introduction: An alien lawfully enters the United States in 1972. He gets a job, gets married, and becomes a productive worker in the community. He is subsequently convicted of a felony, such as making false statements on a loan application. As a result, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) brings deportation proceedings against him. The individual will seek any means possible to vacate the conviction, in order to stay in this country.' This Article explores whether the writ of audita querela. primarily used to provide post-judgment relief in civil cases at common law, can be used to challenge criminal convictions …
Interpretation Of The Statutory Modification Of Joint And Several Liability: Resisting The Deconstruction Of Tort Reform, Gregory C. Sisk
Interpretation Of The Statutory Modification Of Joint And Several Liability: Resisting The Deconstruction Of Tort Reform, Gregory C. Sisk
Seattle University Law Review
This Article defends RCW 4.22.070 and opposes the deconstruction of legislative tort reform. The Article’s premise is that the legislature did indeed intend to accomplish a significant reform of the liability system and to take a long, purposeful stride toward the implementation of comparative fault as applied to all parties in tort litigation. The Article concludes that the legislature adopted language that adequately, if sometimes imperfectly, achieves that purpose. The Article discusses the following: the meaning of “fault” as applicable through RCW 4.22.070; the nature of the entities to whom fault must be allocated; the responsibility for raising the culpability …

Ex Post Facto In The Civil Context: Unbridled Punishment, Jane H. Aiken
Ex Post Facto In The Civil Context: Unbridled Punishment, Jane H. Aiken
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
This Article outlines the historical background of the Ex Post Facto Clause, focusing on the intent of the framers and the Supreme Court's narrowing of the Clause to apply only to criminal statutes and any civil statutes that are unmistakably punitive in nature. The focus then shifts to the problem of mixed motives in legislative acts.

The Poverty Of Privacy?, Linda C. Mcclain
The Poverty Of Privacy?, Linda C. Mcclain
Faculty Scholarship
This Article has two aims. First, it defends a continuing role for the right of privacy in arguments -for women's reproductive freedom against charges that privacy is an impoverished concept. Second, it raises cautions about certain feminist critiques of privacy that would ground this freedom in notions of reproductive responsibilities. As this Article was first presented at a conference, "Reproductive Issues in a Post-Roe' World," held in the wake of Webster v. Reproductive Health Services,2 the first question is: Are we now, given the Supreme Court's recent decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey,' in a "post-Roe world"? Furthermore, what remains …
The Role Of Local Control In School Finance Reform, Richard Briffault
The Role Of Local Control In School Finance Reform, Richard Briffault
Faculty Scholarship
Local control is a puzzle, or rather, a series of related puzzles that has both structured and hindered the uncertain development of school finance reform. The first puzzle is really a paradox: courts and commentators generally assume that local control of education exists, that it is a basic organizational principle of American public elementary and secondary education, and a norm that must be taken into account when the existing school finance system is challenged. Yet for the law of local government generally, local control is the exception, not the rule. The ground rule of state-local relations is state control and …

Paradigms Lost: The Blurring Of The Criminal And Civil Law Models – And What Can Be Done About It, John C. Coffee Jr.
Faculty Scholarship
Ken Mann's professed goal is to "shrink" the criminal law. To realize this worthy end, he advocates punitive civil sanctions that would largely parallel criminal sanctions, thereby reducing the need to use criminal law in order to achieve punitive purposes. I agree (heartily) with the end he seeks and even more with his general precept that "the criminal law should be reserved for the most damaging wrongs and the most culpable defendants." But I believe that the means he proposes would be counterproductive – and would probably expand, rather than contract, the operative scope of the criminal law as an …
