Turning Points In The History Of St. Mary’S University School Of Law (1980–1988), Vincent R. Johnson
St. Mary's Law Journal
St. Mary’s University School of Law in San Antonio, Texas has existed for nearly a century.

That period encompasses the bulk of the deanship of James …

Making The Modern American Legal Profession, 1969–Present, Michael Ariens
St. Mary's Law Journal
The American legal profession has changed dramatically over the past half-century greatly due to the solution and problem of “scale.” This was most noticeable after the American Bar Association’s adoption of the Code of Professional Responsibility. The reputation of lawyers and the legal community would continue to evolve in the eyes of the public. As such, the demand for lawyers and large law firms who had the capacity and means to handle such vast and varied issues would present itself. The increasing demand from large law firms over the years led to unprecedented growth and impact to the way in …

The History, Meaning, And Use Of The Words Justice And Judge, Jason Boatright
The History, Meaning, And Use Of The Words Justice And Judge, Jason Boatright
St. Mary's Law Journal
The words justice and judge have similar meanings because they have a common ancestry. They are derived from the same Latin term, jus, which is defined in dictionaries as “right” and “law.” However, those definitions of jus are so broad that they obscure the details of what the term meant when it formed the words that eventually became justice and judge. The etymology of jus reveals the kind of right and law it signified was related to the concepts of restriction and obligation. Vestiges of this sense of jus survived in the meaning of justice and judge. …

Reforming Military Justice: An Analysis Of The Military Justice Act Of 2016, David A. Schlueter
St. Mary's Law Journal
The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 USC §§ 801-946, is the statutory template for the United States' military justice system. The UCMJ addresses topics such as court-martial jurisdiction, and pretrial, trial, and appellate procedures. It also includes punitive articles which proscribe, not only common law offenses, but also offenses unique to the military. Congress made significant changes to the UCMJ in the Military Justice Act of 2016. The legislation not only amended a significant number of existing articles, but also added many new articles. In addition, Congress completely reorganized the punitive articles. In this article, Professor Schlueter addresses …

The Scientific Method In Legal Thought: Legal Realism And The Fourteen Principles Of Justice., C. Kaufman
St. Mary's Law Journal
The purpose of the law is to do justice. This has led to society believing that justice is a legitimate function of the law. Because of this, the decisions of courts and legislators reflect core principles of justice that underlay the law. By utilizing the scientific method’s process of looking at data and drawing a hypothesis to explain that data, these core principles of justice can be hammered out by examining the just explanations for different lines of cases or statutes and can be seen consistently running throughout recorded decisions. Because of the law’s purpose of justice, it should always …
