Practical Legal Studies And Critical Legal Studies, Jay M. Feinman Dec 1988

Practical Legal Studies And Critical Legal Studies, Jay M. Feinman

Michigan Law Review

The basic questions that Practical Legal Studies confronts are how judges decide cases and how judges should decide cases. The traditional analytic response to these questions has been that judges apply formal methods of legal reasoning, and the formal methods sufficiently comport with the courts' role in the political structure to provide legitimacy. That response has been untenable for a generation or more; thus PLS has moved to informal legal reasoning as a description of adjudication and as a source of legitimacy.

Posner presents a two-part response to the questions. First, judges can relatively easily arrive at the correct decision …


Judge Posner's Jurisprudence Of Skepticism, Steven J. Burton Dec 1988

Judge Posner's Jurisprudence Of Skepticism, Steven J. Burton

Michigan Law Review

This essay suggests that there is an instructive incompleteness in Judge Posner's transition from scientific observer to legal actor. His legal skepticism should be understood as a legacy of his days as an inquiring economist, observing and forming beliefs about law and the judicial process from the academy. His affirmation of judicial practices stems from his new respect for practical reason, which seems to result from the experience of performing judicial duties. This essay will argue that a more complete assimilation of the practical perspective of the legal actor would undercut Judge Posner's arguments for legal skepticism.

Lord Mansfield And Negotiable Instruments, Jane D. Samson Oct 1988

Lord Mansfield And Negotiable Instruments, Jane D. Samson

Dalhousie Law Journal

In any system of judge-made law the longevity, education and character of a judge have enhanced significance. The idea of a judge personifies Justice, blinded and impartial, but the law he creates will inevitably be infused with his personality. Where an individual develops an entire system of law, his contribution to legal history can be overwhelming. Lord Mansfield remains a case in point.


Judicial Discipline And Due Process In Washington State—In Re Deming, 108 Wash. 2d 82, 736 P.2d 639 (1987), Stephen Hobbs Jul 1988

Judicial Discipline And Due Process In Washington State—In Re Deming, 108 Wash. 2d 82, 736 P.2d 639 (1987), Stephen Hobbs

Washington Law Review

This Note evaluates recent developments in Washington State concerning due process rights in judicial disciplinary proceedings. The focus is on In re Deming, a recent disciplinary case decided by the Washington Supreme Court. The analysis by the court in Deming highlights the conflict between the desire to discipline wayward judges and the need to protect the autonomy of the judiciary. The historical and procedural background of the Deming case is discussed first, and then three important procedural issues raised in the opinion are analyzed. The Note concludes that, although the court's broad due process holdings lack foundation, its specific …

Formalism And Fairness: Matthew Deady And Federal Public Land Law In The Early West, Ralph James Mooney Apr 1988

Formalism And Fairness: Matthew Deady And Federal Public Land Law In The Early West, Ralph James Mooney

Washington Law Review

By 1880 Congress had passed nearly 3000 statutes granting or regulating parts of the public domain. Administrative and judicial case loads increased correspondingly, as many thousands of claims had to be verified and recorded and growing numbers of disputes adjudicated. This article recalls an early far-west chapter of the story, a remarkable series of decisions by Oregon federal district Judge Matthew P. Deady interpreting the cornerstone of Pacific Northwest public land law, the 1850 Oregon Donation Act. Although Deady decided other public land law questions as well, it is his Donation Act decisions helping to determine ownership of the Portland …

The Jurisprudence Of Skepticism, Richard A. Posner Apr 1988

The Jurisprudence Of Skepticism, Richard A. Posner

Michigan Law Review

The skeptical vein in American thinking about law runs from Holmes to the legal realists to the critical legal studies movement, while behind Holmes stretches a European skeptical legal tradition that runs from Thrasymachus (in Plato's Republic) to Hobbes and Bentham and beyond. Against the skeptics can be arrayed a vast number of natural lawyers, legal conventionalists, and formalists, including Cicero, Coke, Blackstone, and Langdell, not to mention the majority of contemporary lawyers, judges, and law professors. This article will set forth and defend a moderately skeptical approach to law and judging, one not so far-reaching as that of …
