American Constitutionalism: Volume Ii: Rights & Liberties, Howard Gillman, Mark Graber, Keith Whittington

Mark Graber

Constitutionalism in the United States is not determined solely by decisions made by the Supreme Court. Moving beyond traditional casebooks, renowned scholars Howard Gillman, Mark A. Graber, and Keith E. Whittington take a refreshingly innovative approach in American Constitutionalism. Organized according to the standard two-semester sequence--in which Volume I covers Structures of Government and Volume II covers Rights and Liberties--this text is unique in that it presents the material in a historical organization within each volume, as opposed to the typical issues-based organization.

Premisas Para Una Investigación Sobre La Historia Dogmática Y Los Perfiles Teóricos De La Limitación De Responsabilidad, Patricio Lazo Dec 2011

Premisas Para Una Investigación Sobre La Historia Dogmática Y Los Perfiles Teóricos De La Limitación De Responsabilidad, Patricio Lazo

Patricio Lazo

El trabajo explicita un marco teórico para una investigación que, tomando como punto de partida el legado del derecho romano, indague en torno a la constitución del dogma de la limitación de responsabilidad contractual. Uno de los aspectos centrales de la propuesta consiste en la constatación de que en el derecho moderno la labor de interpretación con miras a la solución de un conflicto no agota sus fundamentos en las normas jurídicas, sino que se extiende hacia nociones teóricas o a los dogmas jurídicos. En este contexto, el autor cree posible indagar en la historia dogmática de la limitación de …


Shaping The Disclosure Tort: A History Of Scholars' Early Importance And Modern Impotence, Jared A. Wilkerson Dec 2011

Shaping The Disclosure Tort: A History Of Scholars' Early Importance And Modern Impotence, Jared A. Wilkerson

Jared A. Wilkerson

Legal scholars have rarely encountered an area such as common law privacy, in which they had a guiding hand over the course of seventy-five years (1890–1965). Since then, however, scholars’ attempts to modify Prosser’s disclosure tort have failed. This article chronicles the early and potent scholarly influence from Warren and Brandeis to Hand, Pound, and Prosser. It continues with recent academic attempts to modify the disclosure tort, none of which has affected the narrow cause of action last touched by Prosser in the Restatement (Second).
