Liberty Without Equality: The Property-Rights Connection In A Negative Citizenship Regime, David Abraham Jan 1996

Liberty Without Equality: The Property-Rights Connection In A Negative Citizenship Regime, David Abraham

Articles

Why, in comparison with other liberal capitalist democracies, is the social welfare state so poorly anchored in American law and public discourse? Surely American political and social history have contributed much to the weakness of our "social state." But law, too, has played a significant material, as well as ideological, role and has provided the terrain for much of our social development. This essay explores the particular contribution of the property-liberty nexus to the stunted development of positive liberty and social citizenship in the United States. It traces this connection from the natural rights and bourgeois Founders through several key …

Chix Nix Bundle-O-Stix: A Feminist Critique Of The Disaggregation Of Property, Jeanne L. Schroeder Nov 1995

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gendered power dynamics in property theory and advocates for a feminist reimagining of property that transcends outdated metaphors.


Nonrefundable Retainers: A Response To Critics Of The Absolute Ban, Lester Brickman, Lawrence A. Cunningham Oct 1995

Nonrefundable Retainers: A Response To Critics Of The Absolute Ban, Lester Brickman, Lawrence A. Cunningham

Articles

In the short span of time since the New York Court of Appeals banned nonrefundable retainers, numerous other courts have joined in prohibiting this widespread practice of lawyers charging a fee for services in advance and keeping the fee even if the services are not performed. The alacrity with which the New York rule is being embraced may reflect increased judicial recognition of the effect of egregious fee practices on the image of the bar and the role such practices play in the declining esteem in which the legal profession is held. Not only has there been a sharp decline …

Testing Colour-Appearance Models: Guidelines For Coordinated Research, Mark Fairchild

Articles

These guidelines provide an overview of the many issues involved in generating visual data that can be used to evaluate the performance of colour-appearance models. the three main sections of these guidelines outline the parameters that must be evaluated and controlled in experimental setups for colour-appearance experiments, suggested psychophysical techniques for gathering the data, and some suggested techniques for data analysis. Experimental parameters addressed include models to be tested, illumination conditions, background and surround conditions, types of stimuli to be used, and issues relating to viewing technique. the psychophysical techniques of magnitude estimation, matching, and direct model testing (paired comparison) …

Freedom And Criminal Responsibility In The Age Of Pound: An Essay On Criminal Justice, Thomas A. Green Jun 1995

Freedom And Criminal Responsibility In The Age Of Pound: An Essay On Criminal Justice, Thomas A. Green

Articles

The concept of freedom has two main aspects: political liberty and freedom of the will. I am concerned here with the latter, although - as these two aspects of freedom are not entirely unrelated to each other - I shall touch also on the former. Enough has been written from a philosophical perspective on the relationship between free will and the law that it is not easy to justify yet another such undertaking. But there may still be room for some informal observations on the manner in which doubts about the concept of freedom of the will affected discussion of …

On The Duties And Rights Of Parents, Carl E. Schneider May 1995

On The Duties And Rights Of Parents, Carl E. Schneider

Articles

The law of the family is the law of the absurd. Law is a system of rules administered institutionally, and thus it must treat people categorically. When law regulates economic life, it finds people at arguably their most schematic, motivated-perhaps-by a relatively unitary conception of their interest pursued in relatively rational ways. But in family life, people are at their least schematic and at their most frustratingly human, various, idiosyncratic, irrational, and perverse, and the law's efforts to affect them are thus often quixotic. In Parents as Fiduciaries, 1 Professor Scott and Dean Scott strikingly and boldly deploy the …

Debt Collection As Rent Seeking, David G. Carlson Apr 1995

Debt Collection As Rent Seeking, David G. Carlson

Articles

The article presents an economic theory of debt collection, arguing that it can be viewed as a form of rent-seeking behavior where creditors extract wealth without adding economic value. The author, David Gray Carlson, posits that legal frameworks such as Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and bankruptcy laws are crucial in preventing local monopolies and promoting a competitive national credit market. These mechanisms reduce information asymmetry and prevent local creditors from exploiting debtors, thereby benefiting debtors and fostering economic efficiency.

Reading One Poet In Light Of Another: Herbert And Frost, James Boyd White Mar 1995

Reading One Poet In Light Of Another: Herbert And Frost, James Boyd White

Articles

In this paper I wish both to draw certain connections between Herbert and Frost and at the same time to say something in a general way about the process by which such connections can be made. It is with the latter question that I begin. Once the relation between two writers would have been thought of mainly in terms of "influence." And one might indeed argue that Herbert did have significant influence on Frost's poetic practice — if not directly, for Frost was not a great reader of Herbert, then indirectly, through Emerson, who was in many ways Frost's master …


On The 'Fruits' Of Miranda Violations, Coerced Confessions, And Compelled Testimony, Yale Kamisar Mar 1995

On The 'Fruits' Of Miranda Violations, Coerced Confessions, And Compelled Testimony, Yale Kamisar

Articles

Professor Akhil Reed Amar and Ms. Renee B. Lettow have written a lively, provocative article that will keep many of us who teach constitutional-criminal procedure busy for years to come. They present a reconception of the "first principles" of the Fifth Amendment, and they suggest a dramatic reconstruction of criminal procedure. As a part of that reconstruction, they propose, inter alia, that at a pretrial hearing presided over by a judicial officer, the government should be empowered to compel a suspect, under penalty of contempt, to provide links in the chain of evidence needed to convict him.


Understanding Changed Readings: Fidelity And Theory, Lawrence Lessig Feb 1995

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 …
