Contraception As A Mask Of Personhood, Charles E. Rice
Contraception As A Mask Of Personhood, Charles E. Rice
Journal Articles
Sometimes you can learn something by teaching Torts. In my case it happened with the Palsgraf case and John Noonan did it. When we reached Palsgraf, I always discussed with the class Professor Noonan's analysis in Persons and Masks of the Law.
Mrs. Palsgraf lost as a matter of law in the Court of Appeals, and Chief Judge Cardozo wrote the opinion. Professor Noonan thinks she lost because her humanity was covered by the abstract persona, the mask, of an "unforeseeable plaintiff." He did not accuse Cardozo of misapplying the rule of law he used, but of myopia in selecting …
The Promise And Precondition Of Educational Autonomy, Neal K. Katyal
The Promise And Precondition Of Educational Autonomy, Neal K. Katyal
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Part One of this Essay defends the Court's [Grutter] analysis. The thesis here is a simple one: Universities should have a zone of freedom in which to conduct their academic affairs because they are better at making choices about educational matters than are generalist courts. This is the position I took, both in the Sixth Circuit and in the Supreme Court, as the chief counsel to the amicus deans of many of the nation's leading private law schools in Grutter. Academic freedom has become something of a pariah concept; indeed, our amicus brief contained the only substantial discussion, let alone …
Alarmism Versus Moderation In Responding To The Rehnquist Court, Mark V. Tushnet
Alarmism Versus Moderation In Responding To The Rehnquist Court, Mark V. Tushnet
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
I begin in Part I by offering a description of the Supreme Court's recent decisions as a less substantial repudiation of prior principles than many think them to be, and as leaving Congress with the means to achieve a quite substantial proportion of the policy goals it pursued in the statutes the Court invalidated. Part II explains why Congress is unlikely to do so, in light of our apparent commitment to divided government, and parties that are organized around distinctive ideologies because of divided government. Part III turns to the prospect for continued policy transformation, identifying the conditions under which …
Alternative Forms Of Judicial Review, Mark V. Tushnet
Alternative Forms Of Judicial Review, Mark V. Tushnet
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The invention in the late twentieth century of what I call weak-form systems of judicial review provides us with the chance to see in a new light some traditional debates within U.S. constitutional law and theory, which are predicated on the fact that the United States has strong-form judicial review. Strong- and weak-form systems operate on the level of constitutional design, in the sense that their characteristics are specified in constitutional documents or in deep-rooted constitutional traditions. After sketching the differences between strong- and weak-form systems, I turn to design features that operate at the next lower level. Here legislatures …

Justification And Excuse, Law And Morality, Mitchell N. Berman
Justification And Excuse, Law And Morality, Mitchell N. Berman
All Faculty Scholarship
Anglo-American theorists of the criminal law have concentrated on-one is tempted to say "obsessed over"-the distinction between justification and excuse for a good quarter-century and the scholarly attention has purchased unusually widespread agreement. Justification defenses are said to apply when the actor's conduct was not morally wrongful; excuse defenses lie when the actor did engage in wrongful conduct but is not morally blameworthy. A near consensus thus achieved, theorists have turned to subordinate matters, joining issue most notably on the question of whether justifications are "subjective"-turning upon the actor's reasons for acting-or "objective"-involving only facts independent of the actor's beliefs …

A Jurisprudence Of Dangerousness, Christopher Slobogin
A Jurisprudence Of Dangerousness, Christopher Slobogin
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
This article addresses the state's police power authority to deprive people of liberty based on predictions of antisocial behavior. Most conspicuously exercised against so-called "sexual predators," this authority purportedly justifies a wide array of other state interventions as well, ranging from police stops to executions. Yet there still is no general theory of preventive detention. This article is a preliminary effort in that regard. The article first surveys the various objections to preventive detention: the unreliability objection; the punishment-in-disguise objection; the legality objection; and the dehumanization objection. None of these objections justifies a complete prohibition on the state's power to …

Politicizing The Crime Against Humanity: The French Example, Vivian Grosswald Curran
Politicizing The Crime Against Humanity: The French Example, Vivian Grosswald Curran
Articles
The advantages of world adherence to universally acceptable standards of law and fundamental rights seemed apparent after the Second World War, as they had after the First. Their appeal seems ever greater and their advocates ever more persuasive today. The history of law provides evidence that caution may be in order, however, and that the human propensity to ignore what transpires under the surface of law threatens to dull and silence the ongoing self-examination and self-criticism required in perpetuity by the law if it is to be correlated with justice.
This Essay presents one side, the dark side, of the …
Child Placement Decisions: The Relevance Of Facial Resemblance And Biological Relationships, David J. Herring
Child Placement Decisions: The Relevance Of Facial Resemblance And Biological Relationships, David J. Herring
Articles
This article discusses two studies of evolution and human behavior addressing child-adult relationships and explores implications for policies and practices surrounding placement of children in foster homes. The first study indicates that men favor children whose facial features resemble their own facial features. This study may justify public child welfare decisionmakers in considering facial resemblance as they attempt to place children in safe foster homes.
The second study indicates that parents are likely to invest more in children who are biologically related to them, thus enhancing their long term well-being. Among other implications, this study may justify public child welfare …
Defending Korematsu?: Reflections On Civil Liberties In Wartime, Mark V. Tushnet
Defending Korematsu?: Reflections On Civil Liberties In Wartime, Mark V. Tushnet
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
According to Justice William J. Brennan, "After each perceived security crisis ended, the United States has remorsefully realized that the abrogation of civil liberties was unnecessary. But it has proven unable to prevent itself from repeating the error when the next crisis came along." This Article examines that observation, using Korematsu as a vehicle for refining the claim and, I think, reducing it to a more defensible one. Part I opens my discussion, providing some qualifications to the broad claim about threats to civil liberties in wartime. Part II then deals with Korematsu and other historical examples of civil liberties …
Equality And The Forms Of Justice, Susan Sturm
Equality And The Forms Of Justice, Susan Sturm
Faculty Scholarship
Justice and equality are simultaneously noble and messy aspirations for law. They inspire and demand collective striving toward principle, through the unflinching comparison of the "is" and the "ought." Yet, law operates in the world of the practical, tethered to the realities of dispute processing and implementation. The work of many great legal scholars and activists occupies this unstable space between principle and practice. Owen Fiss is one such scholar, attempting to straddle the world of the here-and-now and the imagined and then deliberately constructed future, the contours of which have been established during the founding moments of our constitutional …
Constitutional Legitimacy, Randy E. Barnett
Constitutional Legitimacy, Randy E. Barnett
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The problem of constitutional legitimacy is to establish why anyone should obey the command of a constitutionally-valid law. A lawmaking system is legitimate if there is a prima facie duty to obey the laws it makes. Neither "consent of the governed" nor "benefits received" justifies obedience. Rather, a prima facie duty of obedience exists either (a) if there is actual unanimous consent to the jurisdiction of the lawmaker or, in the absence of consent, (b) f laws are made by procedures which assure that they are not unjust. In the absence of unanimous consent, a written constitution should be assessed …
Re-Imagining Justice, Robin West
Re-Imagining Justice, Robin West
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
What do we mean by legal justice, as opposed to distributive, or social, or political justice; what is the justice, that is, we hope law promotes? What is the justice that lawyers and judges, peculiarly, are professionally committed to pursue? What is the virtue around which, arguably, this profession, and the individuals within it, have defined their public lives?
Justice -- and more particularly legal justice -- is a badly under-theorized topic in jurisprudence; perhaps surprisingly, there is little written on it. The paucity of writing of course has a history. It can be traced to the turn of the …
