Corruption Of Religion And The Establishment Clause, Andrew Koppelman

Faculty Working Papers

Government neutrality toward religion is based on familiar considerations: the importance of avoiding religious conflict, alienation of religious minorities, and the danger that religious considerations will introduce a dangerous irrational dogmatism into politics and make democratic compromise more difficult. This paper explores one consideration, prominent at the time of the framing, that is often overlooked: the idea that religion can be corrupted by state involvement with it. This idea is friendly to religion but, precisely for that reason, is determined to keep the state away from religion.

If the religion-protective argument for disestablishment is to be useful today, it cannot …

Civic Lessons: Public Schools And The Civic Development Of Undocumented Students And Parents, John Rogers, Marisa Saunders, Veronica Terriquez, Veronica Valez

Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy

In the Court reasoned that by providing undocumented students with core academic instruction, public schools could contribute to their participation in democratic institutions and thus enhance civic life. This article assesses this and a set of related claims. Drawing on three data sets, the authors consider how access to public schools shapes the civic development and civic engagement of undocumented students and their parents. They first introduce data from a longitudinal study tracking the civic development of youth through high school and into adulthood. They then share survey data that indicates the relatively high levels of school participation among undocumented …

A Demographic And Sociological Perspective On, Jorge Chapa

Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy

In this article, Mr. Jorge Chapa focuses on the underlying appreciation of the humanity of undocumented immigrants in . In doing so, he attempts to provide lawmakers and policymakers with demographic information and sociological perspectives on undocumented immigrants. As such, he presents information on the racialization of undocumented immigrants (the assumption that all undocumented immigrants are Mexican), the guest worker program, employer recruiting efforts that can constitute a de facto guest worker program, and the use of undocumented immigrants in the meatpacking industry. He concludes that comprehensive immigration reform should take such demographic information and sociological perspectives into account to …

Global Law Firms: Globalization And Organizational Spaces Of Cross-Border Legal Work, James R. Faulconbridge, Jonathan V. Beaverstock, Daniel Muzio, Peter J. Taylor

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The aim of this paper is not, however, to generically chart the rise of the global law firm; others have already done this. Instead, our interest lies in better understanding how existing geographies of globalization of law and lawyers, alongside the new geographies of professional partnership and legal work, have created opportunities and challenges for global law firms. More specifically, we seek to unravel the complexities of: (a) the factors driving the presence and absence of global law firms in different cities; and (b) the way that law firms have been reconfigured to operate as spatially distributed organizations present in …

Globalization And The Business Of Law: Lessons For Legal Education, Carole Silver, David Van Zandt, Nicole De Bruin

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Cross-border law practice is growing to serve the increasingly global business of its clients, and U.S. and U.K. firms have been leaders in this global expansion of law practice. Expansion takes several forms, including the physical--with law firms opening offices in faraway locations to serve existing and new clients1--as well as the virtual--based on technology that supports the economics of cross-border activity by enabling practice apart from physical presence. Whether working for global or local organizations, lawyers today are increasingly faced with the prospect of working with colleagues and competitors who are diverse in terms of nationality, education and training, …

Lawyers, Law Firms, And The Stabilization Of Transnational Business, John Flood, Fabian Sosa

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Cross-border business transactions are complex. But in this globalized age, as commentators such as Ohmae have argued, business ought to be conducted simply despite national boundaries. Yet there are features of business that run counter to globalization and maintain a resolutely local character. A crucial aspect of this is the nature of law. No transaction can be carried out without a normative structure to provide a framework for the actors to operate within. Obligations, rights, warranties, covenants, and so on have to be specified and allocated. Even economists agree that the rule of law is essential for the conduct of …
