In Pursuit Of Excellence -- A History Of The University Of Minnesota Law School, Part Vi: The Auerbach Years -- A Time Of Building, Controversy And Frustration, Robert Stein

Articles

When William B. Lockhart resigned from the deanship of the University of Minnesota Law School in June 1972, a productive sixteen-year tenure came to an end. Guided in the early years by the recommendations of the 1955 Law School Self-Survey, Lockhart and his faculty achieved significant success in improving the school's relationship with the bar, in revitalizing the educational program, in improving the quality of the student body, and in maintaining the quality of the faculty. In the later years of his tenure, the law school successfully responded, under Lockhart's leadership, to a variety of challenges presented in the turbulence …

In Pursuit Of Excellence -- A History Of The University Of Minnesota Law School, Part V: The Lockhart Years -- A Time Of Achievement And Challenge, Robert Stein

Articles

Following the long and successful administration of Dean Everett Fraser (1920-1948), the University of Minnesota Law School's fourth dean, Maynard E. Pirsig (1948-1955), presided over seven transitional years at the school. With a talent for attracting young faculty members of extraordinary quality, he did much to enhance the school's tradition of excellence. But, at the same time, his administration suffered from the tensions incident to a changing relationship between the faculty and the dean. In 1955, a faculty-drawn self-survey provided the impetus for a statement of a new division of responsibility between dean and faculty, which clearly articulated both the …


A Hard Look At Vermont Yankee: Environmental Law Under Close Scrutiny, William H. Rodgers, Jr. Jan 1979

A Hard Look At Vermont Yankee: Environmental Law Under Close Scrutiny, William H. Rodgers, Jr.

Articles

In Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. the Supreme Court unanimously reversed the District of Columbia Circuit in two cases that closely scrutinized decisions of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and, in so doing, questioned settled habits of judicial review of administrative action affecting the environment. In this article Professor Rodgers analyzes four implications of Vermont Yankee—substantive judicial review under the National Environmental Policy Act, judicial imposition of procedures upon agencies beyond the statutory minima of the Administrative Procedure Act, the obligation of the agencies to consider alternatives in the environmental impact statement without regard to …

Torture And Plea Bargaining, John H. Langbein Jan 1978

Torture And Plea Bargaining, John H. Langbein

Articles

In this essay I shall address the modem American system of plea bargaining from a perspective that must appear bizarre, although I hope to persuade you that it is illuminating. I am going to contrast plea bargaining with the medieval European law of torture. My thesis is that there are remarkable parallels in origin, in function, and even in specific points of doctrine, between the law of torture and the law of plea bargaining. I shall suggest that these parallels expose some important truths about how criminal justice systems respond when their trial procedures fall into deep disorder.

In Pursuit Of Excellence -- A History Of The University Of Minnesota Law School, Part I: The Pattee Years -- A Time Of Accommodation, Robert Stein

Articles

In September 1888, William S. Pattee, the newly elected dean of the University of Minnesota's infant law department,' began, with the help of lecturers from the practicing bars of Minneapolis and St. Paul, to educate some 67 '"young gentlemen of zeal and promise' 2 in the law. Ninety years later, the University of Minnesota Law School continues this mission, with 62 full-or part-time faculty members, for the benefit of about 750 students. During this period, the school has been shaped by the administrations of six deans, has conferred over 7,500 J.D. or LL.B. degrees,3 has affected the lives of many …

In Pursuit Of Excellence -- A History Of The University Of Minnesota Law School, Part Ii: The Vance Years -- A Time Of Ascendancy, Robert Stein

Articles

The first article in this series described the first two decades of the University of Minnesota Law School as a period marked by an accommodating and cautious regime.' The next decade, in contrast, was marked by a demanding and ambitious administration whose reforms altered the face of the school at a pace that remains unparalleled in the history of the institution. The first dean, William S. Pattee, had provided a firm foundation for legal education at the University but had sometimes compromised the quality of his vision because of the exigencies of the moment.


Some Impressions And Reflections On Observing Legal Proceedings In The People's Republic Of China, Christina B. Whitman, Sallyanne Payton Jan 1978

Some Impressions And Reflections On Observing Legal Proceedings In The People's Republic Of China, Christina B. Whitman, Sallyanne Payton

Articles

Very few foreign visitors have been allowed an opportunity to observe legal proceedings in the People's Republic of China. We were included in the first American group ever favored with a professional exchange legal tour. During the month of May 1977, we spent three weeks in China with a group of Black American judges and lawyers, headed by the Hon. George C. Crockett, Jr., Judge of the Recorder's Court of Detroit. Since we ourselves would be skeptical of the claim of a visitor to the United States who purported to have "studied" the American legal process during the course of …


The Federal Rules Of Evidence: A Model For Improved Evidentiary Decisionmaking In Washington, Robert H. Aronson Jan 1978

The Federal Rules Of Evidence: A Model For Improved Evidentiary Decisionmaking In Washington, Robert H. Aronson

Articles

This article discusses the underlying reasons for establishing rules of evidence, defines two unavoidable conflicts encountered in attempting to effectuate the purposes for adopting such rules, suggests that the Federal Rules of Evidence help resolve these conflicts by adhering to several clearly enunciated rationales, and, finally, indicates how the Rules recognize and accommodate important new scientific and social insights on the admissibility of evidence.
