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. Finally, I shall ask whether those conditions are satisfied in modem America. My proposition is in two parts. First, you cannot have a flourishing rehabilitative ideal unless the society as a whole has a strong faith in the malleability of human behavior and …

Assuring "Detached But Passionate Investigation And Decision": The Role Of Guardians Ad Litem In Saikewicz-Type Cases, Charles Baron
Assuring "Detached But Passionate Investigation And Decision": The Role Of Guardians Ad Litem In Saikewicz-Type Cases, Charles Baron
Charles H. Baron
The author focuses this Article upon the aspect of the Saikewicz decision which determines that the kind of "proxy consent" question involved in that case required for its decision "the process of detached but passionate investigation and decision that forms the ideal on which the judicial branch of government was created." This aspect of the decision has drawn much criticism from the medical community on the ground that it embroils what doctors believe to be a medical question in the adversarial processes of the court system. The author criticizes the decision from an entirely opposite perspective, arguing that the court's …
