Three Governors: Herman Talmadge, The Georgia Supreme Court And The Gubernatorial Election Of 1946, Lucian E. Dervan Nov 2002

Three Governors: Herman Talmadge, The Georgia Supreme Court And The Gubernatorial Election Of 1946, Lucian E. Dervan

Lucian E Dervan

Herman Talmadge, who died March 21, 2002, was a governor, senator, and Georgia icon who controlled state politics for much of the last half of the 20th century. While many events in Talmadge’s life deserve attention, one event in particular stands out amongst the trials and tribulations, victories and scandals in this long American political life. In 1946, the Georgia gubernatorial election brought a state government to its knees, a state Supreme Court to the height of its power and Talmadge into the national spotlight as a revolver toting aspiring governor.

September 11 And The End Of History For Corporate Law, Kent Greenfield May 2002

September 11 And The End Of History For Corporate Law, Kent Greenfield

Kent Greenfield

Using the tragic events of September 11th as case study; this Essay critiques a prominent, recent article that suggests the ideology of shareholder primacy has become so dominant that the "end of history" is at hand for corporate law. The author suggests that a dedication to shareholder primacy helped create the context in which the events of September 11th could occur, by making the airlines less attentive to security concerns that did not affect the airline companies' stock prices. Shareholder primacy makes corporations more likely to externalize the costs of the firms' decisions onto constituencies other than shareholders, and such …

A Re-Evaluation Of The New York Court Of Appeals: The Home, The Market And Labor, 1885-1905, Felice J. Batlan Jan 2002

A Re-Evaluation Of The New York Court Of Appeals: The Home, The Market And Labor, 1885-1905, Felice J. Batlan

Felice J Batlan

Closely examining a range of New York Court of Appeals police‐power cases during the period 1885 to 1905, this article demonstrates that the New York Court had a long history of accepting and continually expanding the police power. In these police‐power cases, one finds the court grappling with an evolving sense of how to balance the concept of and need for a well‐regulated society against the rights of an individual in an increasingly complex and interconnected world, as well as a tenacious refusal to abandon Victorian bourgeois norms regarding the dichotomy between the home and workplace. By contextualizing and historicizing …

Race, Class, And Legal Ethics In The Early Naacp (1910-1920), Susan D. Carle Dec 2001

Race, Class, And Legal Ethics In The Early Naacp (1910-1920), Susan D. Carle

Susan D. Carle

INTRODUCTION: In 1916, Charles Anderson Boston, one of the members of the first national Legal Redress Committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, spoke at the organization's board of directors meeting to endorse the use of new litigation strategies in the fight against racial segregation. The "proper presentation of the legal fight against segregation," Boston urged, should focus on gathering "facts, not law" to demonstrate to the courts the law's "actual operation."' Boston's emphasis on using facts to demonstrate the law's operation accorded with the NAACP's litigation strategy, which relied not only on gathering and presenting …
