Litigant Access Doctrine And The Burger Court, Tinsley E. Yarbrough
Litigant Access Doctrine And The Burger Court, Tinsley E. Yarbrough
Vanderbilt Law Review
The decisions of potentially most far-reaching significance, however, are the Burger Court's pronouncements concerning the nature and application of the personal injury standard in the field of standing, the status of public action lawsuits, and the propriety of federal district court intervention in state judicial proceedings. This Article critically analyzes the Court's developing position in each of these areas and suggests that in each its doctrinal stance is conceptually weak, rarely serves the functions that it ostensibly was designed to perform, and is extremely vulnerable to capricious application.

The Decline Of The Rehabilitative Ideal In American Criminal Justice, Francis A. Allen
The Decline Of The Rehabilitative Ideal In American Criminal Justice, Francis A. Allen
Cleveland State Law Review
At this point I am going to advance a proposition. It is an analytic proposition, not an empirical statement, and relates to what characteristics a society must possess in order to maintain a flourishing rehabilitative ideal. Then I shall try to test that proposition by looking at two very different societies in which the rehabilitative ideal flourished.
