Law As A Social Science, R. Lynn Campbell

The purpose of the programme is to promote an awareness of the place of rules respecting human conduct in political, social and economic …


Patriation Of The Canadian Constitution: Comparative Federalism In A New Context, William C. Hodge Jun 1985

Patriation Of The Canadian Constitution: Comparative Federalism In A New Context, William C. Hodge

Washington Law Review

The Canadian constitution, also known as the British North America Act, 1867, has been "patriated." Of that bundle of sticks that, fastened together, constitute sovereign autonomy, a significant few continued to rest with the British Parliament until 1982—a condition the Canadians found humiliating and the British embarrassing. With the passage of the Canada Act by the Parliament of the United Kingdom on March 29, 1982, and with royal approval, the Canadians became masters of their own house, having gained complete internal powers of constitutional amendment. But an equally important constitutional event was the process of patriation itself inasmuch as it …

“Freedom” And ”Coercion”—Virtue Words And Vice Words, Peter Westen Jun 1985

“Freedom” And ”Coercion”—Virtue Words And Vice Words, Peter Westen

Duke Law Journal

Much has changed since young Thomas Jefferson took up his quill pen in the winter of 1781 and wrote by candlelight about "freedom" and "coercion." More has changed since Plato lauded freedom and derogated coercion two thousand years earlier. 2 The material changes in the way we live are obvious. The normative changes in what we value -- in what we regard as good and evil, right and wrong -- are equally dramatic: the abolition of chattel slavery, the disestablishment of religion, the end of indentured servitude, the demise of monarchy, the prohibition of torture and blood sanctions, the banning …

Historical Truth, Narrative Truth, And Expert Testimony, Marianne Wesson Apr 1985

Historical Truth, Narrative Truth, And Expert Testimony, Marianne Wesson

Washington Law Review

This article examines studies tending to cast doubt on the existence of any special faculty that enables psychoanalytically trained experts to discern the historical truth. It then illustrates, by examining the events at one trial, the distortions in the trial process that can arise when experts do purport to resolve issues of historical truth. Finally, it suggests some solutions to the problems described.

The topic is further explained in reference to various state laws, and the subsequent court cases extant at the time of the article's writing which defined the issue in terms of law.

Contract Compensation In Nonmarket Transactions, Joseph P. Tomain Jan 1985

Contract Compensation In Nonmarket Transactions, Joseph P. Tomain

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

Professor Tomain assails the myths holding that contract law is either complete and unitary or hopelessly indeterminate. He contends that a distinction must be made between market situations, which require a more formal analysis, and nonmarket transactions to which a more particularized analysis should be applied. Making the market/nonmarket distinction permits flexibility of methodology and considerations of economics, politics, and morals as appropriate, without forcing the conclusion that contracts analysis is totally without structure. Professor Tomain advocates application of reflective doctrinal analysis which tests the sufficiency of a rule of law and reforms the rule if it is not supported …


Suicide: A Constitutional Right?, Thomas J. Marzen, Mary K. O'Dowd, Daniel Crone, Thomas J. Balch Jan 1985

Suicide: A Constitutional Right?, Thomas J. Marzen, Mary K. O'Dowd, Daniel Crone, Thomas J. Balch

Duquesne Law Review

Recent advocacy of a right to suicide raises the question of whether statutes which penalize the assistance of suicide and the widespread practice of intervention to stop suicide attempts are unconstitutional. This article considers the claim that the right of privacy or substantive due process encompasses autonomy to do whatever affects no one else, and concludes that the Supreme Court has recognized only those forms of autonomy that it has deemed to be rooted in the traditions and history of our society. After outlining the attitudes toward suicide at various stages in Western Civilization, focusing on Anglo- American history and …


Whither Jurisprudence?, Anthony D'Amato Jan 1985

Whither Jurisprudence?, Anthony D'Amato

Faculty Working Papers

After considering the side road of critical legal studies, I shall try to indicate the major signposts to a more complete jurisprudence. These signposts take the form of questions or anomalies in our present understanding of law. I will conclude that only by following these signposts, by exploring these questions and anomalies, will we begin to uncover the nature of law and justice.

International Human Rights And Cultural Relativism, Fernando R. Tesón Jan 1985

International Human Rights And Cultural Relativism, Fernando R. Tesón

Scholarly Publications

I will argue that cultural relativism cannot be reconciled with the recognition in international law of fundamental rights of the individual. Part II will demonstrate that positive international law does not recognize cultural diversity as a justification for the failure to observe human rights. In Part HI, I will argue further that ethical relativism is a philosophically untenable position. Part IV includes a brief exposition on and critique of two by-products of relativism: the elitist and conspiracy theories of human rights. Finally, Part V sets forth some general conclusions.

Recovery For Mental Harm Under Article 17 Of The Warsaw Convention: An Interpretation Of Lesion Corporelle, Dana Stanculescu Jan 1985

Recovery For Mental Harm Under Article 17 Of The Warsaw Convention: An Interpretation Of Lesion Corporelle, Dana Stanculescu

UC Law SF International Law Review

The Warsaw Convention limits recovery in litigation involving international aircraft accidents. Although the text of the Convention originally was drafted in French, United States courts generally rely on an English translation for interpretation. This Note illustrates potential difficulties based on the use of each of these versions and focuses on the concept of "mental anguish" and its diverging interpretations under the civil-law and common- law systems. The Note concludes that uniformity of interpretation is best served if the French legal meaning of any controverted term is treated as controlling.
