Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., James Wilson, And The Pursuit Of Equality And Liberty, Deborah A. Roy
Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., James Wilson, And The Pursuit Of Equality And Liberty, Deborah A. Roy
Cleveland State Law Review
This Article analyzes the jurisprudence of one of the most transformative Supreme Court Justices, William J.

The first thing that needs clarifying is what kind …
Soviet Theory Of Jurisprudence, Francis G. Homan Jr.
Soviet Theory Of Jurisprudence, Francis G. Homan Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
Any examination of Marxian theory and its embodiment in Soviet jurisprudence must first review its roots in Hegelian philosophy. Bolshevism, Fascism and National Socialism have all relied on Hegelian theory, with tremendous political impact on modern history.
