Law As Largess: Shifting Paradigms Of Law For The Poor, Deborah M. Weissman
Law As Largess: Shifting Paradigms Of Law For The Poor, Deborah M. Weissman
Deborah M. Weissman
The article examines the tension between the principles of the Rule of Law and cultural norms of self-sufficiency. It begins by reviewing the principles of the Rule of Law as an ideal, the pursuit of which has led to historical efforts to meet the legal needs of the poor. It then examines recent legal events including federal statutory changes, three Supreme Court cases, and a federal circuit court case which have limited legal resources for those who cannot pay. The article then examines these developments in the context of a sea-change in the political environment of the nation, coinciding with …
Linguistics In Law, Alani Golanski
Linguistics In Law, Alani Golanski
Alani Golanski
The "new textualism" is amenable to the use of linguists in legal cases. New textualists seek to interpret statutes "objectively," according to the "plain meaning" of the statutory terms; these jurists and scholars see plain-meaning analysis as linguistics, and linguistics as science. Law and linguistics pursue different ends, however, and linguists construing statutes will miss legally decisive issues. Modern linguistics theory is an area of central concern to cognitive psychologists as well as philosophers of mind and language. While not hegemonic, Chomsky's psychological program influences modern linguistics, and the linguist's approach often leads in a different direction from that taken …

Presiding Over The Ex-President: A Look At Superior Responsibility In The Light Of The Kosovo Indictment, Jackson N. Maogoto
Jackson Nyamuya Maogoto
Individual criminal responsibility, and command responsibility in particular, are important because, to deter human rights abuses, potential perpetrators must perceive prosecution as a possible consequence of their actions. Historically, the doctrine of command responsibility has been an important tool to hold accountable leaders who plan, participate in, or acquiesce in large-scale human rights abuses. The scope of the command responsibility doctrine remains one of the most important issues in prosecuting human rights atrocities. The scope of the doctrine determines the degree to which a leader can insulate himself from criminal culpability when the criminal acts were committed by others but …
The European Court Of Justice's Revolution: Its Effects And The Conditions For Its Consummation. What Europe Can Learn From Fiji, Theodor Jr Schilling
The European Court Of Justice's Revolution: Its Effects And The Conditions For Its Consummation. What Europe Can Learn From Fiji, Theodor Jr Schilling
Theodor JR Schilling
This article will first try to develop a strictly positivist view of the relationship between the Community and Member State legal systems. Starting from the assumption that the Community legal system is based on a revolution by the Court of Justice it will claim that this revolution does not (yet) apply to the Member State legal systems. In doing so, it will distinguish between an external, pluralistic, and an internal, monistic view of the systems in question. Taking the external point of view, this article will deny that there is, in our day, a single unified system comprising both the …
Theorizing The Connections Among Systems Of Subordination, Nancy Levit
Theorizing The Connections Among Systems Of Subordination, Nancy Levit
Nancy Levit
Theorizing the Connections Among Systems of Subordination introduces a symposium that addresses issues on the leading edge of identity theory, race theory, and critical social theory. It explains the concepts of anti-essentialism, intersectionality, multiple consciousness, multi-dimensionality, and post-intersectionality. It investigates the ways specific types of oppression - such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia - support and feed off of one another. It explores the dynamics of subordination that make different forms of subordination connected to each other - the mechanisms by which subordinating systems buttress each other. Where one sees sexism, one frequently can find racism; where classism exists, …
