Translated Opinions

The petitions to the court related to the decision of the President of the State to pardon the Head of the General Security Service (G.S.S.) and three of his assistants in respect of all the offences attributed to them connected with the incident known as "bus no. 300". The pardons were granted by the President under sec. 11 (b) of the Basic Law: The President of the State, by which he is empowered "to pardon offenders and to lighten penalties by the reduction or commutation thereof." The principal issue raised in the petitions was whether the President had the power …

Text Into Theory: A Literary Approach To The Constitution, Richard H. Weisberg

Articles

The article explores the evolving dialogue between legal scholars and literary theorists, particularly focusing on how judicial opinions can be viewed as narrative fictions. It challenges traditional notions of textual autonomy in legal interpretation, suggesting that meaning is not fixed but is shaped by subjective readings. The analysis critiques the dichotomy between interpretivism and noninterpretivism, arguing that both approaches are inherently subjective.

Texaco V. Pennzoil: The Use And Creation Of Precedent By The Second Circuit, Peter Lushing

Articles

The article critiques the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit's decision in *Texaco Inc. v. Pennzoil Company*, arguing that the court's ruling was result-oriented and undermined the integrity of judicial precedent. The decision, which stayed the enforcement of a $11.12 billion state court judgment against Texaco, was based on an expansive interpretation of due process and civil rights law. However, the court's attempt to limit its holding to the "extraordinary circumstances" of the case raises concerns about the consistency and fairness of the judicial process, as it creates a precedent that may not be applicable to smaller stakeholders.

Judicially Ordered Social Reform: Neofederalism And Neonationalism And The Debate Over Political Structure, David Rudenstine

Articles

The article examines the ideological divide within the U.S. Supreme Court between neofederalism and neonationalism, two legal theories that shape the Court's approach to federalism and individual rights. Neofederalism emphasizes state autonomy and limits federal intervention in state institutions, while neonationalism advocates for a stronger federal role in protecting individual rights, even if it requires overriding state decisions. This divide significantly influences the Court's rulings on issues such as prison conditions and institutional reform, reflecting broader debates about the role of federalism in social reform and judicial decision-making.
