The Unlikely Hero Of Dred Scott: Benjamin Robbins Curtis And The Constitutional Law Of Slavery, Earl M. Maltz

Cardozo Law Review

The standard account portrays Dred Scott v. Sandford as a story of villains and heroes. The villains are the members of the majority, led by Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney, who concluded that descendants of slaves could never become citizens of the Union and that Congress could not outlaw slavery in the territories. The heroes, on the other hand, are the two dissenters, John McLean and Benjamin Robbins Curtis, who rejected these conclusions and determined that Scott should be deemed a free man. McLean's opinion, however, was not tightly reasoned and was rather clearly designed to advance his presidential ambitions; …

Race, Gender, "Redlining," And The Discriminatory Access To Loans, Credit, And Insurance: An Historical And Empirical Analysis Of Consumers Who Sued Lenders And Insurers In Federal And State Courts, 1950-1995, Willy E. Rice

San Diego Law Review

This Article examines how state and federal courts have tried to resolve disputes involving “redlining”, unequal access to capital, and insurance discrimination during 1950-1995. The Article presents an overview of relevant federal and state statutes and an analysis of federal and state administrative enforcement activities. The Author argues that federal and state courts are ineffective arenas for resolving such highly complex and emotional issues, and he urges litigants to avoid these tribunals if they can not resolve their disputes.

Globalization: An Analytical Framework, Gordon R. Walker, Mark A. Fox

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

The paradigm example of globalization is the global integration

of financial markets. Globalization has significant implications for

New Zealand--a small island nation far from the centers of world

capital--that flow from the particular characteristics of New

Zealand's economy. In order to sustain current levels of economic

growth, the New Zealand government has adopted a liberal policy to

attractf oreign capital. In the future, a major taskf or New Zealand is

to align further the internal logic of the deregulatory process as

expressed in domestic legislation with an international environment

in which domestic economies are more globally integrated. This

article argues …

Republican Principles In International Law, Mortimer Sellers

Connecticut Journal of International Law

Two hundred years ago, in the wake of the modem world's first great republican revolutions in France and the United States, Immanuel Kant endorsed a federation of independent republics as the only valid basis of international law.' Kant's federation echoed the new federal Constitution of the United States, which guaranteed a "republican form of government" to every state in the Union.' Enlightenment scholars supposed that if ever some powerful people could form a republic, republican principles would become the basis of a just world order.3 So republican ideas permeated and inspired the developing jus gentium,4 and several new states emerged …

Race And Place: Geographic And Transcendent Community In The Post-"Shaw" Era, Lisa A. Kelly

Vanderbilt Law Review

In the Preface to Colored People, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., describes and explains for his daughter, Liza, communities characterized by race. Throughout his memoir, Professor Gates re- creates communities local and communities transcendent. In one passage, he insists that he is "from and of a time and place-Piedmont, West Virginia... slathered along the ridge of 'Old Baldie' mountain like butter on the jagged side of a Parker House roll." The geography of place, even within the small town of Piedmont, is central. Italian neighborhoods in the west, Irish neighborhoods up on "Arch Hill," wealthy white neighborhoods defined by the block …

Faith In Fantasy: The Supreme Court's Reliance On Commutation To Ensure Justice In Death Penalty Cases, Victoria J. Palacios

Vanderbilt Law Review

Since scarcely a decade after Furman v. Georgia,' the Supreme Court has struggled to avoid review of death penalty cases by narrowing the grounds defendants can use to challenge their sentences, as well as the procedures they can use to make those challenges. The Court supports its jurisprudence and the deregulation of death with an important but unexamined assumption: whatever shortcomings exist in the administration of the death penalty, ultimately injustice can and will be avoided by the exercise of the commutation power at the state level.

This Article argues that such an assumption is unwarranted. By substituting the fantasy …

Vote Dilution And The Census Undercount: A State-By-State Remedy, Christopher M. Taylor

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues that groups seeking to correct underrepresentation caused by the differential undercount do not have standing to sue the Secretary of Commerce but that they can sue their state governments in an effort to force them to use the best population data available in the construction of congressional districts. Part I details the deeply rooted character of the differential undercount, describes statistical means that could have been employed to adjust the 1990 census, and demonstrates that the adjusted count surpasses the official census as an accurate representation of the true population. Part II examines recent litigation that has …
