The Declaration Of Independence And Constitutional Interpretation, Alexander Tsesis
The Declaration Of Independence And Constitutional Interpretation, Alexander Tsesis
Alexander Tsesis
This Article argues that the Reconstruction Amendments incorporated the human dignity values of the Declaration of Independence. The original Constitution contained clauses, which protected the institution of slavery, that were irreconcilable with the normative commitments the nation had undertaken at independence. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments set the country aright by formally incorporating the Declaration of Independence's principles for representative governance into the Constitution.
The Declaration of Independence provides valuable insights into matters of human dignity, privacy, and self-government. Its statements about human rights, equality, and popular sovereignty establish a foundational rule of interpretation. While the Supreme Court has …

On The Conceptual Confusions Of Jurisprudence, Aaron Rappaport
On The Conceptual Confusions Of Jurisprudence, Aaron Rappaport
Aaron Rappaport
For more than half a century, legal theorists have tried to identify and describe the concept of law, employing a method called “conceptual analysis” to pursue this goal. Yet the details of that methodology remain obscure, its merits largely accepted without careful analysis. A reassessment is long past due. This paper offers the first comprehensive survey of the way conceptual analysis has been used in legal theory. The paper identifies four different forms of conceptual analysis – the empirical, intuitive, categorical and contingent methods of analysis. After clarifying the core assumptions of each approach, the paper evaluates whether any of …
A Tragédia Do Judiciário: Subinvestimento Em Capital Jurídico E Sobreutilização Do Judiciário, Ivo T. Gico Jr.
A Tragédia Do Judiciário: Subinvestimento Em Capital Jurídico E Sobreutilização Do Judiciário, Ivo T. Gico Jr.
Ivo Teixeira Gico Jr.
Esta tese explora o subinvestimento em capital jurídico como uma explicação para o problema de congestionamento dos tribunais brasileiros. A análise indica que os magistrados brasileiros não possuem incentivos e mecanismos suficientes para investir em capital jurídico e uniformizar regras jurídicas. A insegurança jurídica resultante, combinada com o livre acesso ao serviço publico adjudicatório constitucionalmente garantindo, gera incentivos para a sobreutilização dos tribunais, resultando no problema endêmico de congestionamento, a Tragédia do Judiciário. O congestionamento atrai litigantes que desejam postergar suas obrigações pelo sistema judicial, enquanto litigantes legítimos são excluídos, um problema trágico de seleção adversa.

In this article I am primarily concerned with presenting Slavoj Žižek3 as a legal theorist. Žižek has been a valuable contributor to critical theory and deserves a place in the pantheon of legal thinkers.
While his diverse writings are often relegated to other disciplines, they also position him as an important contributor to law and public discourse. I seek to illuminate how he mediates and interrogates the law by demonstrating how his scholarship is important to the lives of legal thinkers, questions of success and the law, capitalism, political practice, and terrorism. Because Žižek’s work is interdisciplinary and expansive, this …
Metodologia E Epistemologia Da Análise Econômica Do Direito, Ivo T. Gico Jr.
Metodologia E Epistemologia Da Análise Econômica Do Direito, Ivo T. Gico Jr.
Ivo Teixeira Gico Jr.
Trata-se de uma contextualização da Análise Econômica do Direito – AED dentro da epistemologia jurídica em um contexto civilista. A partir de uma revisão dos paradigmas dominantes no direito brasileiro, contextualiza-se histórica e epistemologicamente a abordagem da AED. O objetivo é oferecer uma primeira abordagem por juristas e economistas, ressaltando algumas utilidades e limitações para ambos os campos. Uma vez contextualizada a AED no direito, alguns pontos não exaustivos da metodologia econômica e, portanto, da própria AED, são apresentados e analisados em termos de compatibilidade com os paradigmas dominantes do direito. O resultado é uma primeira aproximação do que seja …
