Markets Overt, Voidable Titles, And Feckless Agents: Judges And Efficiency In The Antebellum Doctrine Of Good Faith Purchase, Harold R. Weinberg
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
In considering American common law doctrines shaped during the nineteenth century, commentators have advanced differing theories on the primary judicial criteria employed by judges. Recent studies have argued that these doctrines reflect a criterion of economic efficiency. This work has been criticized for its failure to explain why there seems to be a correlation between efficiency and these decision rules or why judges might have preferred efficiency over other decisional criteria. Other studies have proposed that many judicial doctrines announced before the Civil War were intended to facilitate or ratify major shifts in the distribution of social wealth. This article …

The Bloodless Revolution: The Role Of The Fifth Circuit In The Integration Of The Deep South, Frank T. Read
Mercer Law Review
On October 1, 1981, the nation's foremost civil rights tribunal will be no more. On that date, the Fifth Circuit Reorganization Act will become effective and the famous United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit will be divided into two new circuits.' With the passing of the Fifth Circuit into history's dusty pages, it is appropriate to reflect on the contributions of that court in this nation's monumental struggle to desegregate the public schools of the Deep South.
On May 17, 1954, the United States Supreme Court, in its most important decision in this century, rejected the "separate …

A History Of Dalhousie Law School, L. E. Rozovsky, F. A. Rozovsky
Dalhousie Law Journal
As the author is at pains to tell us at the very beginning, this is not an earth-shaking book. Furthermore, Professor Willis states in his preface that the project was started by the late Dean Emeritus Horace Read and thus is the work of two hands; if Willis himself had originated the project, "The book I should like to have written about the Dalhousie Law School would be something very different from this .. ." At that point, the reviewer felt some unease about the task at hand. He need not have worried: the history is a successful and worthwhile …

Truth And Interpretation In Legal History, G. Edward White
Truth And Interpretation In Legal History, G. Edward White
Michigan Law Review
The essay consists of four sections. Section I discusses the nature of historical explanation, devoting some attention to the roles of "truth," interpretation, and detachment in historical scholarship. Section II continues that discussion by exploring the meaning and the purpose of what I call "interpretive detachment" in the writing of history. Section III considers the theoretical assumptions of Marxist legal historians from the point of view developed in preceding sections. Section IV, taking into account some issues that remain problematic or troublesome, restates my approach.
