Law Day 2050: Post-Professinalism, Moral Leadership, And The Law-As-Business Paradigm Symposium, Russell G. Pearce

Faculty Scholarship

Inspired by Ted Schneyer's future history of professional discipline' and Bob Gordon's descrption of "the hazy aspirational world" of the "Law Day Sermon,' I offer a vision of the legal profession 'a next fifty years in the form of a Law Day speech from the year 2050. Looking back on developments in the first half of the twenty-first century, this piece explores the implications of the analysis proposed in my earlier article, The Professionalism Paradigm Shift: Why Discarding Professional Ideology Will Improve the Conduct and Reputation of the Bar. The speech presents a projection of the moral leadership the bar …

The Treaty Of Amsterdam's Changes To The Common Foreign And Security Policy Chapter And An Overview Of The Opening Enlargement Process, Giorgio Maganza Jan 1998

The Treaty Of Amsterdam's Changes To The Common Foreign And Security Policy Chapter And An Overview Of The Opening Enlargement Process, Giorgio Maganza

Fordham International Law Journal

The European Union (“Union” or “EU”) is an important actor in the international arena. The Union behaves and acts as a political entity towards the outside world and it is perceived as such. That is certainly the case for international economic relations, where the European Community (“EC” or “Community”) has played a significant role as a major partner in multilateral negotiations for several years now. It is more frequently the case with respect to foreign policy matters, as a result of the choice made by the signatories to the Maastricht Treaty (“Treaty on European Union” or “TEU”) in which the …

Subsidiarity And Transparency, Christian Timmermans Jan 1998

Subsidiarity And Transparency, Christian Timmermans

Fordham International Law Journal

Subsidiarity and transparency are entirely different concepts. … However different, both concepts are twins in the continuing quest of the Framers of European integration to increase the legitimacy of Community decision-making vis-à-vis the citizens. Indeed, there always has been, and there still is a very serious problem of lack of legitimacy. … Increasing the powers of the European Parliament is not sufficient to bridge this legitimacy gap, although the Maastricht Treaty did make progress in that respect, for instance, by introducing the co-decision procedure. The problem is much vaster. At any rate, the negative experiences of the ratification discussions on …

Lawyering In The State Of Nature: Instinct And Automaticity In Legal Problem Solving , Ian Weinstein Jan 1998

Lawyering In The State Of Nature: Instinct And Automaticity In Legal Problem Solving , Ian Weinstein

Faculty Scholarship

This article explains why lawyers do not think or talk like other people, how they got this way, and why this is both a good thing and a bad thing. I have watched hundreds of law students leave their old ways of thinking and talking behind and begin to sound like lawyers. One marker of the progress from lay person to lawyer is the emergence of the ability to tell a coherent fact and law story about a new legal problem. I have sometimes celebrated this professional progress and sometimes lamented the loss of common sense, but my lawyerly analysis …

Regarding Rights: An Essay Honoring The Fiftieth Anniversary Of The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights Introduction: Locating Culture, Identity, And Human Rights Symposium In Celebration Of The Fiftieth Anniversary Of The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights, Tracy E. Higgins

Faculty Scholarship

The half-century since the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights' has been famously heralded as the "Age of Rights" and the concept of human rights described as "the only political-moral idea that has gained universal acceptance." During the same period, however, both terms defining the subject-human and rights-have become increasingly contested. Informed by the emergence of identity-based political movements, critics have attacked the category human has as bearing the baggage of Western Enlightenment assumptions about personhood and community, inherently racist, sexist, and classist. Theorists across the political spectrum have criticized the concept of rights as indeterminate, destructive of …

Constitutional Challenges To New York State's Death Penalty Statute, John M. Shields Jan 1998

Constitutional Challenges To New York State's Death Penalty Statute, John M. Shields

Fordham Urban Law Journal

New York State's death penalty statute is constitutionally flawed in many respects. It violates the state and federal prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment and provides unrestricted prosecutorial discretion to pursue the death penalty. This standardless and unfettered discretion creates the risk of arbitrary or discriminatory application of capital punishment.
