Confronting Deep Strictures: Robinson, Rickey, And Racism, Aviam Soifer

Cardozo Law Review

A strange and wonderful major league event in 1947 altered baseball and, perhaps, the consciousness of America. Viewed from a Critical Legal Studies perspective, however, that event-the integration of the National League by Jackie Robinson-is both more and less significant than it might otherwise seem. In this essay, Professor Soifer explains why.

A Response To Fish And White, Richard H. Weisberg

Articles

The article explores the dynamic interplay between the text and its interpreter within legal and literary hermeneutics, emphasizing the balance between the text's inherent qualities and the reader's contextual influences. It mediates between Fish's emphasis on professional context guiding interpretation and Fiss's advocacy for objective textual constraints, while highlighting White's view that judicial opinions should be complex and poetic, integrating cultural context.

Text And Intellect, Monroe E. Price

Articles

The article explores the intersection of Jewish identity, legal education, and professional practice, arguing that the Talmudic tradition of rigorous textual analysis and ethical inquiry has profoundly shaped the legal thinking and contributions of Jewish lawyers and judges, such as Justice Philip Halpern. It suggests that this tradition, emphasizing precision in language, respect for authority, and the pursuit of justice, provides a unique lens for understanding law as both a moral and social force.

Translated Opinions

The petition concerned the Respondent’s refusal to permit the Petitioners to pray beside the western entrance to the Temple Mount (the Mughrabi Gate) on Jerusalem Day, out of concern that conducting prayer at that particular site would lead to a breach of public order.

The High Court of Justice held:

A. (1) The right to assemble and demonstrate is a basic human right in Israel. It is not an absolute right, but rather a relative right, and when it comes into conflict with other rights or interests, it must, at times, retreat in accordance with an appropriate balancing formula.

(2) …
