Tis A Gift To Be Simple: Aesthetics And Procedural Reform, Janice Toran
Tis A Gift To Be Simple: Aesthetics And Procedural Reform, Janice Toran
Michigan Law Review
This essay advances the hypothesis that aesthetic considerations play a role in the formulation of new legal procedures and the preference for one procedure over another. Of course, other considerations like the social impact of a particular procedure or procedural system, its economic consequences, and its role within existing legal institutions are important, often decisive, factors influencing procedural choice.

The Negative Constitution: A Critique, Susan Bandes
The Negative Constitution: A Critique, Susan Bandes
Michigan Law Review
Part I describes the current approach, which demands adherence to the notion of a negative constitution. Part II critiques the assumptions underlying the current approach and demonstrates its undesirable consequences in decisional law. Part III explores the tenacious barriers to recognition of affirmative governmental duties: the constitutional, philosophical, and common law roots of the notion of a negative constitution, as well as the belief that recognizing affirmative duties would be an invitation to chaos. Finally, Part IV proposes discarding the rhetoric of negative rights and suggests an approach for constructing a theory better designed to effectuate constitutional goals.

The Virtue Of Liberality In American Communal Life, Linda R. Hirshman
The Virtue Of Liberality In American Communal Life, Linda R. Hirshman
Michigan Law Review
This article attacks the barriers to articulation of a theory of the good and advocates discussion of the substance of a good regime, specifically, a good American regime. Part I of this article addresses in some detail the civic republicans' revival of interest in the common life. I propose that it is dauntingly difficult, if not impossible, to articulate a satisfying version of a common life without a theory of the good life, an undertaking traditionally associated with authoritarianism and elitism. Rather than abandoning the enterprise, however, I propose to reopen the assumption that the association automatically rules out any …
