Theorists' Belief: A Comment On The Moral Tradition Of American Constitutionalism, Jospeh Vining
Theorists' Belief: A Comment On The Moral Tradition Of American Constitutionalism, Jospeh Vining
Articles
The Moral Tradition of American Constitutionalism is one of those rare works that leads us to face, at the center of law and legal thought, the largest questions about human life and human purpose. There is a special reader's shudder, a certain gestural shift in the chair, reserved for that moment of realizing where one is being led-not to the edge, but to the center, so that the questions become insistent, and whatever we and others say and do in the face of them becomes our response to them.

The Original Constitution And Our Origins, John O. Mcginnis
The Original Constitution And Our Origins, John O. Mcginnis
Articles
The question why we should be bound by the original Constitution often is framed as why we should be guided by the dead hand of the past. The notion that this venerable document should be viewed as a possibly unfortunate constraint on our present potential as a society contains an implicit premise about man in history. According to this view, it is open to man to make his history in each generation through some collective cultural process. Given such a premise, it seems plausible to believe that each generation should enjoy the opportunity to decide anew whether to submit to …
The New Ethiopian Constitution: Its Impact Upon Unity, Human Rights And Development, Minasse Haile
The New Ethiopian Constitution: Its Impact Upon Unity, Human Rights And Development, Minasse Haile
Articles
The 1994 Ethiopian Constitution, while intended to address historical injustices, has exacerbated tribalism, human rights violations, and poverty by establishing a flawed federal system based on ethnic affiliation. The Constitution grants excessive autonomy to ethnic-based states, undermining national unity and central authority. Its lack of enforceable limitations on government power, absence of judicial review, and emphasis on secession have created a system prone to instability and human rights abuses. The article argues that the Constitution's structure, inspired by defunct Soviet models, is ill-suited to Ethiopia's needs, threatening its democracy, development, and cohesion.
Chix Nix Bundle-O-Stix: A Feminist Critique Of The Disaggregation Of Property, Jeanne L. Schroeder
Chix Nix Bundle-O-Stix: A Feminist Critique Of The Disaggregation Of Property, Jeanne L. Schroeder
Articles
Jeanne Schroeder's article critiques the traditional "bundle of sticks" metaphor of property theory, arguing that it erodes property's unity and essence. She integrates insights from Hegel and Lacan to propose a more cohesive understanding of property, emphasizing its role in mediating human interactions and freedom. Schroeder challenges gendered power dynamics in property theory and advocates for a feminist reimagining of property that transcends outdated metaphors.

Understanding Changed Readings: Fidelity And Theory, Lawrence Lessig
Understanding Changed Readings: Fidelity And Theory, Lawrence Lessig
Articles
In this article, Professor Lessig proposes a theory to explain how new readings of the Constitution may maintain fidelity with past understandings of the document's meaning and purpose. After defining schematically some terminology for this exercise in "fidelity theory," the author proposes a general typology of four justifications for changed constitutional readings: amendment, synthesis, fact translation, and structural translation. Describing this last justification as so far overlooked, he illustrates, by way of four historical case studies, how structural translation results from a pragmatic institutional response by judges to subtle changes in interpretive context-changes both in what Professor Lessig calls the …

Federalism, Efficiency, The Commerce Clause, And The Sherman Act: Why We Should Follow A Consistent Free-Market Policy, Daniel J. Gifford
Federalism, Efficiency, The Commerce Clause, And The Sherman Act: Why We Should Follow A Consistent Free-Market Policy, Daniel J. Gifford
Articles
The focus of the dormant commerce clause is on free trade among the states. Indeed, the Supreme Court, borrowing from the vocabulary of European integration, frequently asserts that the dormant commerce clause calls for an American "common market." 1 Borrowing from the language of international trade, the Court invalidates state or local legislation which is "protectionist." 2 This focus is consistent with the purpose of the Framers, who sought to prevent economic barriers to trade from threatening the new political order established by the United States Constitution. Stated in a more positive vein, the free-trade objectives incorporated in the dormant …

Art Of Judgement In Planned Parenthood V. Casey, James Boyd White
Art Of Judgement In Planned Parenthood V. Casey, James Boyd White
Articles
This article was excerpted and abridged with permission from a chapter in Professor White's recent book Acts of Hope: Creating Authority in Literature, Law, and Politics. In the book, he explores the nature of authority in various cultural contexts. Here he examines the Joint Opinion in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which has been attacked both from the right, on the grounds that it tried to keep Roe v. Wade alive, and from the left, on the grounds that it significantly weakens the force of that case. Professor White, by contrast, admires it greatly, and in this chapter explains …
The Challenge Of Asian Law, Whitmore Gray
The Challenge Of Asian Law, Whitmore Gray
Articles
Several years ago, when U.S. trade across the Pacific finally surpassed that across the Atlantic, a small group of U.S. lawyers were already responding to the challenge of representing clients in transactions in Asia. While few had had the opportunity to take courses dealing with Asian law during their law school years, many entered the field because of undergraduate language and area studies courses. A few had taught courses dealing with Asia before beginning their law studies.
Repo Madness: The Characterization Of Repurchase Agreements Under The Bankruptcy Code And The U.C.C., Jeanne L. Schroeder
Repo Madness: The Characterization Of Repurchase Agreements Under The Bankruptcy Code And The U.C.C., Jeanne L. Schroeder
Articles
The article examines the legal characterization of repurchase agreements (repos) under the Bankruptcy Code and the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.), with a focus on proposed revisions to Articles 8 and 9. It argues that repos should be treated as sales rather than secured loans, primarily due to the repo buyer's unrestricted right to deal with the collateral. This characterization is supported by court rulings in cases such as In re Bevill, Bresler & Schulman and SEC v. Drysdale Securities Corp., which emphasize the transfer of ownership and the buyer's ability to engage with the securities. The article critiques current methods …

The Market For Loyalties: Electronic Media And The Global Competition For Allegiances, Monroe E. Price
The Market For Loyalties: Electronic Media And The Global Competition For Allegiances, Monroe E. Price
Articles
The article critiques the traditional "marketplace of ideas" metaphor in First Amendment jurisprudence and proposes a more accurate framework: the "market for loyalties." This model highlights how powerful entities, including governments and private actors, use communication regulation to shape identities and allegiances. The First Amendment, under this interpretation, functions as a regulatory allocation among these entities rather than a guarantee of unfettered speech. The rise of global communication technologies and competing loyalties challenges the nation-state's ability to control this market, reshaping the role of law and governance in identity formation.
Virgin Territory: Margaret Radin's Imagery Of Personal Property As The Inviolate Feminine Body, Jeanne L. Schroeder
Virgin Territory: Margaret Radin's Imagery Of Personal Property As The Inviolate Feminine Body, Jeanne L. Schroeder
Articles
Margaret Jane Radin's theory of property for personhood posits that certain personal property is deeply intertwined with individual identity, necessitating legal protections that go beyond traditional property rights. While her approach offers a feminist perspective by emphasizing the body and body-like objects as extensions of selfhood, critics argue that her framework lacks an account of community and intersubjectivity, rendering it incomplete. The article suggests that integrating insights from Hegel and Lacan could provide a more comprehensive understanding of property relations, addressing both personal and communal dimensions.
Legality Of Secessions: The Case Of Eritrea, Minasse Haile
Legality Of Secessions: The Case Of Eritrea, Minasse Haile
Articles
The article critically examines the legal basis for Eritrea's secession from Ethiopia in 1993, arguing that the secession lacks a solid foundation under international law. It contends that Eritrea's independence does not meet the criteria for self-determination as defined by international instruments, emphasizing that the process was flawed and did not genuinely reflect the will of the Eritrean people. The analysis highlights the international community's opposition to secession to preserve territorial integrity and stability, asserting that Eritrea's secession undermines peace and security in the Horn of Africa.

Discussion And Decisions: A Proposal To Replace The Myth Of Self-Rule With An Attorneyship Model Of Representation, Marci A. Hamilton
Discussion And Decisions: A Proposal To Replace The Myth Of Self-Rule With An Attorneyship Model Of Representation, Marci A. Hamilton
Articles
The traditional model used by legal scholars to describe our system of representative democracy seeks to justify representation as a fulfillment of the self-rule ideal Many scholars, however, have argued that certain features of the modem legislative process undermine self-rule, and have proposed means by which judicial review can correct legislative failures and restore self-rule to primacy. Drawing on German philosopher Carl Schmitt's critique of parliamentary democracy in Weimar Germany, Professor Hamilton posits that scholarly attempts to reconcile self-rule with representative democracy are misguided. Representation based on self-rule will inevitably lead to interest-group politics, resulting in meaningless and endless debate …

Fuzzy Knowledge-Based Approach To Treating Uncertainty In Inventory Control, Dobrilla Petrovic, Edward Sweeney
Fuzzy Knowledge-Based Approach To Treating Uncertainty In Inventory Control, Dobrilla Petrovic, Edward Sweeney
Articles
Inventory control in complex manufacturing environments encounters various sources of uncertainity and imprecision. This paper presents one fuzzy knowledge-based approach to solving the problem of order quantity determination, in the presence of uncertain demand, lead time and actual inventory level. Uncertain data are represented by fuzzy numbers, and vaguely defined relations between them are modeled by fuzzy if-then rules. The proposed representation and inference mechanism are verified using a large numbers of examples. The results of three representative cases are summarized. Finally a comparison between the developed fuzzy knowledge-based and traditional, probabilistic approaches is discussed.
