Individual Autonomy And Collective Empowerment In Labor Law: Union Membership Resignations And Strikebreaking In The New Economy, David Abraham Dec 1988

Individual Autonomy And Collective Empowerment In Labor Law: Union Membership Resignations And Strikebreaking In The New Economy, David Abraham

Articles

In this Article, Doctor Abraham studies the tensions between individual rights and theories of collective action in the context of union membership resignations and strikebreaking. He argues that recent judicial and executive tendencies to value individual worker autonomy over collective union action are misguided, lacking a basis in both legal precedent and social reality. In support of his view, Abraham first explores the philosophical and historical-sociological roots of labor and labor-capital relations, focusing on the meaning of employment and the history of collective action. Next, he examines the social and legal origins of the judiciary's recent tendency to increase union …


Nollan, Henry George, And Exactions, Stewart E. Sterk Dec 1988

Nollan, Henry George, And Exactions, Stewart E. Sterk

Articles

The article examines the legal and economic implications of exactions, particularly in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Nollan v. California Coastal Commission. While exactions—requirements imposed on developers to provide municipal benefits—can theoretically promote efficiency and fairness, the analysis suggests that their practical implementation by municipalities is fraught with challenges. These challenges include the potential for inefficiency, unfairness, and arbitrary decision-making, which may undermine their effectiveness and raise constitutional concerns. The article argues that the concerns expressed in Nollan and other cases stem from the fear that exaction schemes could lead to inefficient and unfair municipal behavior, as well …

Lawyers And Informal Justice: The Case Of A Public Housing Eviction Board, Richard O. Lempert, Karl Monsma Sep 1988

Lawyers And Informal Justice: The Case Of A Public Housing Eviction Board, Richard O. Lempert, Karl Monsma

Articles

When lawyers think of civil procedure they almost invariably think of the rules of civil procedure and the formality they entail. A course in civil procedure focusing almost exclusively on the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is in most law schools part of the traditional first-year curriculum. Indeed some would argue that it is at the core of that curriculum, for more than any other first-year course it takes students away from familiar moral anchors and instructs them in a set of distinctively legal practices and values. The ability to manipulate the legal system's rules of procedure is the most …

Contract Rights And Property Rights: A Case Study In The Relationship Between Individual Liberties And Constitutional Structure, Michael W. Mcconnell Jan 1988

Contract Rights And Property Rights: A Case Study In The Relationship Between Individual Liberties And Constitutional Structure, Michael W. Mcconnell

Articles

In this Essay, Professor McConnell argues that constitutional interpretation should extend beyond the substantive principles expressed in the Constitution to the structural and institutional choices of the Framers. As an example, he explores possible explanations for the disparate treatment the Constitution accords to property and contract rights. Despite the Founders' general commitment to the preservation of private contract and property rights, the contracts clause, by its terms, applies only to state governments, while the just compensation clause applies solely to the federal government. Part I of the Essay summarizes the textual problem posed by the contracts and just compensation clauses. …
