To Outgrow A Mockingbird: Confronting Our History—As Well As Our Fictions—About Indigent Defense In The Deep South, Sarah Gerwig-Moore
To Outgrow A Mockingbird: Confronting Our History—As Well As Our Fictions—About Indigent Defense In The Deep South, Sarah Gerwig-Moore
Articles
To Kill a Mockingbird occupies a beloved space in law school classrooms and curricula, especially in its portrayal of Atticus Finch. Frequently held up as the model or “hero-lawyer,” Atticus’s character is powerful in fiction, but problematic in practice. His work is lauded, rather than scrutinized, despite his questionable ability to represent his client in life-or-death circumstances—specifically, a racially charged sexual assault case in the Deep South. Through considering examples of historical lawyers and texts which explore similar themes without the lens of fiction, those engaged in legal education and legal practice can and should look to others to study …
Review Of Chaim Saiman's The Rabbinic Idea Of Law, Suzanne Last Stone
Review Of Chaim Saiman's The Rabbinic Idea Of Law, Suzanne Last Stone
Articles
The article reviews Chaim Saiman's Halakhah: The Rabbinic Idea of Law, highlighting its contribution to understanding rabbinic law as a cultural and educational force. Saiman's work bridges legal and cultural scholarship by emphasizing halakhah's dual role as both regulatory and expressive, drawing on Robert Cover's paideic model of law and Lawrence Rosen's concept of law as cosmology. The book explores how Talmudic discourse embodies this duality, blending legal reasoning with moral, theological, and ethical inquiry, and examines the tension between maintaining religious meaning and legal detail.

Educating Lawyers For Community, Anthony V. Alfieri
Articles
This Essay is part of an ongoing classroom study and clinical service project addressing the mindful education of law students and the civic training of lawyers.

Pope John Paul Ii, Vatican Ii, And Capital Punishment, Howard Bromberg
Pope John Paul Ii, Vatican Ii, And Capital Punishment, Howard Bromberg
Articles
Part I of this Article describe s Pope John Paul II’s teaching on capital punishment as based on the Scriptures and expressed in Evangelium Vitae and the Catechism. Part II examines the authority with which this doctrine was issued. Part III suggests that this teaching represents the “traditional teaching of the Church,” although a “more perfect expression” of that teaching than has heretofore been recognized. Parts IV and V indicate why the papacy of John Paul II-—“this time, in which God in His hidden design has entrusted to me... very close to the year 2000”-—was ripe for this explicit articulation …

The Priest-Penitent Privilege – An Hibernocentric Exercise In Postcolonial Jurisprudence, Walter J. Walsh
The Priest-Penitent Privilege – An Hibernocentric Exercise In Postcolonial Jurisprudence, Walter J. Walsh
Articles
Although much has been written on the history of the priest-penitent privilege, this Article will show that such writing tends toward an unconscious, but strong, anglocentric tilt. It seems that no scholar has tried to locate and interpret all the Irish and American sources that inspired this initially hibernocentric, later more generally American, postcolonial deviation from the English common law. Since the Second World War, the significance of Philips and its 1828 New York codification have gained widespread recognition, but the scholarly inquiry has never advanced in any truly historical fashion. This article is thus the first history of the …
