What Is A Constitutional Convention?, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
What Is A Constitutional Convention?, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
‘State constitutional assembly’ is defined along with three subsidiary definitions; difficulties are addressed and solutions proposed; a survey of the 994 assemblies (1775 to 2010) is supplied, and the proposed definition defended; issues for further development are noted.

Table Annexed To Article: Who Were The Superfounders?, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Thirty-two of the fifty-five delegates who attended the federal convention went on to attend a ratifying convention; twenty-five are Yes-Founders and one, Gov. Edmund Randolph, won his ‘SuperFounder’ status at the Virginia Ratifying Convention. Never before surveyed as a group, the table annexed names the SuperFounders and details their opposite numbers, the No-Founders.
Delegate Arrivals In Philadelphia Compared To Voting Records At The Ratification Conventions By State, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Delegate Arrivals In Philadelphia Compared To Voting Records At The Ratification Conventions By State, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Fifty-five delegates were appointed by twelve states to attend the federal convention in May, 1787. Eleven states ratified the Constitution between December 7, 1787 and July 26, 1788. When delegate arrival dates are compared with the order in which their respective state ratification conventions completed their business, a significant number of delegates supporting the constitution are missing in action.

When Did The Delegates Arrive In Philadelphia, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
When Did The Delegates Arrive In Philadelphia, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Twelve states appointed fifty-five delegates to attend the federal convention in May, 1787 at Philadelphia. The arrival of the delegates may conveniently be grouped by the order of their arrival; further information assigned to delegates. Information tabled by Farrand (1911, 1937) will be verified and expanded.

Table Annexed To Article: 'Fast And Fourteen:' Delegates Who Left The Federal Convention Early, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Of the fifty-five delegates who attended the federal convention at Philadelphia in 1787, fourteen left before the constitution concluded its business on September 17, 1787. Their voting records disclose that, just like those early arrivers who supported the Constitution, early leavers who opposed the Constitution were overwhelmed by the number of supporters who departed.

The American Legal Profession And The War Crimes Trials In Germany, 1942-1951, Robert G. Waite
The American Legal Profession And The War Crimes Trials In Germany, 1942-1951, Robert G. Waite
Robert G. Waite
Summary. As reports of Nazi atrocities became more common in the summer of 1942 the calls from within the American legal profession for the prosecution of those responsible grew too. A number of attorneys advocated strong criminal sanctions and they urged the leaders of those nations allied against Nazi Germany to establish tribunals to handle these cases. Advocates of stern legal measures and criminal prosecution believed that such actions were essential to the ensure justice for those who had been persecuted. These calls were soon overshadowed by those legal scholars who viewed legal action as crucial to the development of …

Felon Disenfranchisement The Judiciary’S Role In Renegotiating Racial Divisions, Brian Schaefer, Peter Kraska
Felon Disenfranchisement The Judiciary’S Role In Renegotiating Racial Divisions, Brian Schaefer, Peter Kraska
Peter Kraska
Felon disenfranchisement is deeply rooted in U.S. history as a form of punishment and as a tool to inhibit African Americans from voting. Today, there are 5.3 million U.S.
residents politically disenfranchised due to a felony conviction—about 2 million of whom are African Americans. The overrepresentation of African Americans disenfranchised, and the U.S. history of racism, brings forth the question of how these laws continue to exist. The objective of this study is to demonstrate, through a socio–legal approach, the federal court system’s role in perpetuating and maintaining the ethnoracial divisions in society through the validation and rationalization of felon …

Compromising The Safety Net: How Limiting Tax Deductions For High-Income Donors Could Undermine Charitable Organizations, Patrick Tolan
Compromising The Safety Net: How Limiting Tax Deductions For High-Income Donors Could Undermine Charitable Organizations, Patrick Tolan
Patrick E. Tolan Jr.
President Obama’s recent budget proposals have contemplated reducing the top rate for charitable deductions (and all itemized deductions) to twenty-eight percent. Because America’s largest donors are those in the highest marginal tax brackets, efforts to limit deductibility of charitable donations could have a chilling effect on charitable giving.
In this article the author looks at motivations for charitable donations and specifically at the impact of tax deductibility as a motivating factor. It takes a historical look at the philanthropic surveys and econometric models and examines empirical data concerning impacts of significant changes to the tax code in the 1980s that …

Intersektionella Analyser. Att Begreppsliggöra Ojämlikheter I Och Genom Rätten, Linnéa Wegerstad, Niklas Selberg
Niklas Selberg
Inledning till tema intersektionalitet
I inbjudan till detta temanummer skrev den svenska redaktionen att nordisk rättsvetenskaplig forskning under de senaste decennierna allt mer har uppmärksammat olika maktrelationer i förhållande till rätten, men att interaktioner mellan olika maktrelationer inte har analyserats i någon större utsträckning. Däremot har genusvetenskaplig forskning behandlat interaktioner mellan kön, klass, etnicitet, sexualitet, ålder eller funktionshinder inom vad som har kommit att kallas intersektionalitet. I det följande introducerar vi föreliggande nummers intersektionella analyser, och diskuterar det sammanhang de kan placeras i. 1980 hade Retfærd sitt första temanummer om kvinnorätt som fem år senare följdes upp av tema ’kvinderetfærd’. …
Rehabilitating Lawyers: Perceptions Of Deviance And Its Cures In The Lawyer Reinstatement Process, Bruce A. Green, Jane Moriarty
Rehabilitating Lawyers: Perceptions Of Deviance And Its Cures In The Lawyer Reinstatement Process, Bruce A. Green, Jane Moriarty
Jane Campbell Moriarty
State courts’ approach to lawyer admissions and discipline has not changed fundamentally in the past century. Courts still place faith in the idea that “moral character” is a stable trait that reliably predicts whether an individual will be honest in any given situation. Although research in neuroscience, cognitive science, psychiatry, research psychology, and behavioral economics (collectively “cognitive and social science”) has influenced prevailing concepts of personality and trustworthiness, courts to date have not considered whether they might change or refine their approach to “moral character” in light of scientific insights. This Article examines whether courts should reevaluate how they decide …

Book Review: The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration In The Age Of Colorblindness, Nick J. Sciullo
Book Review: The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration In The Age Of Colorblindness, Nick J. Sciullo
Nick J. Sciullo
Many in the legal academy have heard of Michelle Alexander’s new book, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in an Age of Colorblindness. It has been making waves. One need only attend any number of legal conferences in the past year or so, or read through the footnotes in recent law review articles. Furthermore, this book has been reviewed in journals from a number of academic fields, suggesting Alexander has provided a text with profound insights across the university and public spheres. While I will briefly talk about the book as a book, I will spend the majority of this …

The Many Languages Of Cctv, David J. Brooks Dr., Jeff Corkill
David J Brooks Dr.
Closed circuit television (CCTV) has become a common form of technology, infused within many parts of our life, such as public, private, social and work environments. Whether CCTV is used in the media in a voyeuristic mode for the production of Big Brother, in public transport to reduce assaults or in a public street surveillance system to improve safety, the technology is in essence the same. Over the last 20 years, there has been much discussion on CCTV effectiveness. This discussion, in particular from the UK, has been significant in its scope.

'Street Arabs, Gutter Snipes And Waifs': The Problem Of Wayward, Abandonned And Desitute Children In New York City, 1840-1920, Robert G. Waite
'Street Arabs, Gutter Snipes And Waifs': The Problem Of Wayward, Abandonned And Desitute Children In New York City, 1840-1920, Robert G. Waite
Robert G. Waite
The problem of wayward and destitute youths plagued New York City throughout the later 19th century. During these years an estimated 40,000 children lived much of their lives on the streets. A number of civic reformers launched a number of programs to combat these problem, to aid the children. This article focuses on the problem of the wayward youths. The essay is available on-line at the website newyorkhistoryreview.com (see attached) and it will be published in the annual volume for 2012.
Between “Metaphysics Of The Stone Age” And The “Brave New World”: H.L.A. Hart On The Law’S Assumptions About Human Nature, Péter Cserne
Between “Metaphysics Of The Stone Age” And The “Brave New World”: H.L.A. Hart On The Law’S Assumptions About Human Nature, Péter Cserne
Péter Cserne
This paper analyses H.L.A. Hart’s views on the epistemic character of the law’s assumptions about human behaviour, as articulated in Causation in the Law and Punishment and Responsibility. Hart suggests that the assumptions behind legal doctrines typically combine common sense factual beliefs, moral intuitions, and philosophical theories of earlier ages with sound moral principles, and empirical knowledge. An important task of legal theory is to provide a ‘rational and critical foundation’ for these doctrines. This does not only imply conceptual clarification in light of an epistemic ideal of objectivity but also involves legal theorists in ‘enlightenment’ about empirical facts, ‘demystification’ …
