Problems With Rules, Cass R. Sunstein
Problems With Rules, Cass R. Sunstein
Articles
Many of the most difficult issues in law involve the choice between rules and rulelessness in cases where both seem unacceptable. The principal goal of this Article is to point the way toward a more refined understanding of the ideal of the rule of law, one that sees a degree of particularity, and a degree of law-making at the point of application, as important parts of that ideal. The Article defends a form of casuistry and describes the potentially democratic foundations of the casuistical enterprise in law. It begins by describing the distinctive advantages of rules and law via rules, …

Judicial Waiver Policy And Practice: Persistence, Seriousness And Race, Marcy Rasmussen Podkopacz, Barry C. Feld
Judicial Waiver Policy And Practice: Persistence, Seriousness And Race, Marcy Rasmussen Podkopacz, Barry C. Feld
Articles
One of the most controversial contemporary criminal policy issues is whether serious or chronic young offenders should be tried and sentenced as juveniles or adults. Defining the boundary between juvenile and criminal courts depends upon the answers to a host of inter-related questions: Who are serious juvenile offenders? On the basis of what characteristics are they identified? Who should decide which system will deal with them and why? Does it make any difference, either symbolically or in terms of public safety, whether states try and sentence some youths as juveniles or adults? The diversity of legislative strategies to resolve these …

Violent Youth And Public Policy: A Case Study Of Juvenile Justice Law Reform, Barry C. Feld
Violent Youth And Public Policy: A Case Study Of Juvenile Justice Law Reform, Barry C. Feld
Articles
The purpose of this article by Feld was to examine the work of Minnesota's Juvenile Justice Task Force of 1994 in light of policy, case law, and prior task force recommendations. The author, a member and co-chair of the Task Force, analyzed revisions in the Minnesota juvenile justice adjudicatory system as it converged juvenile and criminal court adjudication procedures and philosophy. Ultimately, the recommendations of the Task Force were presented and accepted by the Minnesota legislature, and subsequently included Minnesota's 1994 Juvenile Crime Bill.
Judicial Ethics Simulation Based Training, Stephen M. Simon, Maury S. Landsman
Judicial Ethics Simulation Based Training, Stephen M. Simon, Maury S. Landsman
Articles
The Judicial Ethics Education Project trains trial judges to be aware of ethical issues that arise in the trial process. The project employs case simulations that raise ethical and management issues requiring immediate attention during the course of a trial. The goal of the project is to provide sitting judges with a basis on which to make similar decisions during trials. The project grew out of and is incorporated into the Minnesota Judicial Trial Skills Training Program ("MJTSTP") at the University of Minnesota, which was created in 1986 by Professor Steve Simon and Judge Bertrand Portisky and is mandatory for …

The Romance Of Revenge: An Alternative History Of Jeffrey Dahmer's Trial, Samuel R. Gross
The Romance Of Revenge: An Alternative History Of Jeffrey Dahmer's Trial, Samuel R. Gross
Articles
On Feb. 17, 1992, Jeffrey Dahmer was sentenced to fifteen consecutive terms of life imprisonment for killing and dismembering fifteen young men and boys. Dahmer had been arrested six months earlier, on July 22, 1991. On Jan. 13 he pled guilty to the fifteen murder counts against him, leaving open only the issue of his sanity. Jury selection began two weeks later, and the trial proper started on Jan. 30. The jury heard two weeks of horrifying testimony about murder, mutilation and necrophilia; they deliberated for five hours before finding that Dahmer was sane when he committed thos crimes. After …

Judicial Drag: An Essay On Wigs, Robes And Legal Change, Charles M. Yablon
Judicial Drag: An Essay On Wigs, Robes And Legal Change, Charles M. Yablon
Articles
The article explores the persistence of judicial wigs and robes in England, arguing that their continued use is not based on practical reasons but on historical and cultural path dependency. The tradition, despite its anachronistic nature, endures due to factors like dignity, anonymity, and economic interests, rather than any functional necessity. The author suggests that such legal customs often persist because of historical context rather than optimal design.
Security Interests In The Crucible Of Voidable Preference Law, David G. Carlson
Security Interests In The Crucible Of Voidable Preference Law, David G. Carlson
Articles
In this article, Professor David Gray Carlson analyzes the intersection of voidable preference law under 11 U.S.C. § 547 and security interests under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. The essay purports to articulate the metaphysical assumptions present in this intersection, no matter how rarified and peculiar, because, in this area of law, even the slightest and most fantastic metaphysical presupposition can change results and shift wealth between debtors and creditors. Given the current dearth of unsecured dividends in bankruptcy proceedings, everything turns on whether security interests survive the critique of voidable preference law. In his treatment, Professor Carlson …

Are Twelve Heads Better Than One?, Phoebe C. Ellsworth
Articles
The jury's competence, unlike that of the judge, rests partly on its ability to reflect the perspectives, experiences, and values of the ordinary people in the community - not just the most common or typical community perspective, but the whole range of viewpoints.
Deep Inner Lives, Individualism And People Of Honour, William I. Miller
Deep Inner Lives, Individualism And People Of Honour, William I. Miller
Articles
With the exception of St Augustine and perhaps Abelard, often praised as modern before their time, it is not unusual to find it maintained that the individual was not available in any serious conceptual, psychological or even sociological way before the seventeenth century. Our thick and deep self, according to this view, is thus a rather recent phenomenon. Some more expansive souls find the individual already emerging a century earlier, during the Reformation. Within the last three decades, medievalists, chagrined at being contemned by classicists on one flank and an alliance of Renaissance scholars, early modernists, modernists and post-modernists on …
Judging Girls: Decision Making In Parental Consent To Abortion Cases, Suellyn Scarnecchia, Julie Kunce Field
Judging Girls: Decision Making In Parental Consent To Abortion Cases, Suellyn Scarnecchia, Julie Kunce Field
Articles
Judges make determinations on a daily basis that profoundly affect people's lives. On March 28, 1991, the Michigan legislature enacted a statute entitled The Parental Rights Restoration Act (hereinafter "the Michigan Act" or "the Act"). This statute delegated to probate court judges the extraordinary task of deciding whether a minor girl may have an abortion without the consent of a parent. Nothing in law school and little in an average judge's experience provide a meaningful framework for making such a decision. Although many commentators, including the authors, argue that decisions about abortion should be left to the woman regardless of …

Against Assisted Suicide - Even A Very Limited Form (Symposium: Assisted Suicide, Health Care And Medical Treatment Choices), Yale Kamisar
Articles
Professor Robert Sedler is a leading constitutional law professor and a well-known civil liberties lawyer. I think he is right about many things. To cite but one example, I think he was right when he led the ACLU's successful legal attack on certain University of Michigan restrictions on "hate speech."' But I cannot agree with him about physician-assisted suicide, no matter how narrowly he frames the issue.2
Imagining Children's Rights, Suellyn Scarnecchia
Imagining Children's Rights, Suellyn Scarnecchia
Articles
Today, I will tell you some stories about real, live children, whose futures have been determined by our legal system. To speak of children's rights hypothetically, raises images of children suing to go live with their rich uncle or suing to demand a Nintendo system from their parents. I hope that by bringing you stories of the legal system's treatment of real children, you will have a better understanding of what I mean by children's rights and why they must be recognized. Although children's rights have been recognized in limited ways in the areas of free speech, criminal law and …
A Child's Right To Protection From Transfer Trauma In A Contested Adoption Case, Suellyn Scarnecchia
A Child's Right To Protection From Transfer Trauma In A Contested Adoption Case, Suellyn Scarnecchia
Articles
On August 2, 1993, I arrived at the home of Jan, Robby, and Jessica DeBoer' a few hours before the transfer. At 2:00 P.M. I would carry Jessica out of her home and deliver her to the parents who had won the case,2 her biological mother and father. This task probably would have been easier had I not spent eight days in the trial court listening to the experts explain that this transfer from one set of parents to another would harm Jessica.3 It would have been easier had I not recently obtained affidavits from other experts to persuade the …
