Federalism, Efficiency, The Commerce Clause, And The Sherman Act: Why We Should Follow A Consistent Free-Market Policy, Daniel J. Gifford Jan 1995

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 …

Resolution Of Traffic Accident Disputes And Judicial Activism In Japan, Daniel H. Foote Jan 1995

Resolution Of Traffic Accident Disputes And Judicial Activism In Japan, Daniel H. Foote

Articles

The topic of resolution of traffic accident cases in Japan has already seen two works in English: a 1989 article by J. Mark Ramseyer and Minoru Nakazato in the Journal of Legal Studies and a 1990 article by Takao Tanase in the Law and Society Review. Why yet another article?

First, despite the fine treatment of a wide range of issues in those articles, neither of those works gave much attention to what I regard as one of the most interesting and important aspects of the Japanese treatment of automobile accident cases: namely, the role of the judiciary and the …


How To Negotiate A Sales Contract, James J. White Jan 1995

How To Negotiate A Sales Contract, James J. White

Articles

A. Introduction 1. In my experience, lawyers begin negotiating only after the business people have decided upon the description and quality of the product, the time of delivery, and the mode and amount of payment. The lawyers are left with the pathological problems - who gets what in case of trouble. 2. Most of those pathological problems relate to the seller's responsibility if the product does not conform to the contract or otherwise fails to please the buyer. These failures can cause economic loss to the buyer, economic loss to a remote purchaser, or personal injury or property damage to …


Imagining Children's Rights, Suellyn Scarnecchia Jan 1995

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 Jan 1995

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 …


Deep Inner Lives, Individualism And People Of Honour, William I. Miller Jan 1995

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 …


The Challenge Of Asian Law, Whitmore Gray Jan 1995

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.


The Warren Court And Criminal Justice: A Quarter-Century Retrospective, Yale Kamisar Jan 1995

The Warren Court And Criminal Justice: A Quarter-Century Retrospective, Yale Kamisar

Articles

Many commentators have observed that when we speak of "the Warren Court," we mean the Warren Court that lasted from 1962 (when Arthur Goldberg replaced Felix Frankfurter) to 1969 (when Earl Warren retired). But when we speak of the Warren Court's "revolution" in American criminal procedure we mean the Warren Court that lasted from 1961 (when the landmark case of Mapp v. Ohio was decided) to 1966 or 1967. In its final years, the Warren Court was not the same Court that had handed down Mapp or Miranda v. Arizona.


Tripartite Voidable Preferences, David G. Carlson Jan 1995

Tripartite Voidable Preferences, David G. Carlson

Articles

This paper applies Jacques Lacan's theory of retrospective cause to the jurisprudence of H.L.A. Hart and his followers. The thesis is that "effect" (judicial decision) precedes "cause" (law). The proper tense for legal discourse is, therefore, future anterior. The following points follow from this: (1) Positivism asserts that law is not necessarily connected to morality, but this is a priori wrong. Law wishes to be separate from morality, but it necessarily fails. (2) The theory vindicates Dworkin's notorious "right answers" theory, but makes the additional point that there is only one answer: you are guilty; you failed to conform to …


Eti, Phone The Department Of Labor: Economically Targeted Investments, Ib 94-1 And The Reincarnation Of Industrial Policy, Edward A. Zelinsky Jan 1995

Eti, Phone The Department Of Labor: Economically Targeted Investments, Ib 94-1 And The Reincarnation Of Industrial Policy, Edward A. Zelinsky

Articles

In Interpretive Bulletin 94-1 (B 94-1), the Department of Labor defines economically targeted investments (ETIs) as investments which bear risk-adjusted, market rates of return and which also generate collateral economic benefits. lB 94-1 declares ETIs, so defined, to be consistent with the fiduciary provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). In his critique of lB 94-1, Professor Edward Zelinsky finds the ET1 concept unsound as a matter of policy and logic and incompatible with ERISA's statutory standards governing pension trustees' investment decisions. Professor Zelinsky views 1B 94-1 as resurrecting the discredited notion of industrial policy. He …

Standards Of Professional Conduct In Alternative Dispute Resolution, John Feerick, Carol Izumi, Kimberlee Kovach, Lela Love, Robert Moberly, Leonard Riskin, Edward Sherman

Articles

The Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of the Association of American Law Schools presented a program, at a 1995 AALS Conference, on current ethical issues that arise in mediation and how these issues should be addressed by the standards of professional conduct. The panel for the program was composed of leading mediation scholars and practitioners from throughout the country. The program was organized by Professor Edward Sherman who also acted as the panel moderator and provided the following introduction.


Grant Gilmore, Holmes, And The Anxiety Of Influence, Charles M. Yablon Jan 1995

Grant Gilmore, Holmes, And The Anxiety Of Influence, Charles M. Yablon

Articles

The article explores Grant Gilmore's ambivalent relationship with Oliver Wendell Holmes, particularly in The Death of Contract. Gilmore both praises Holmes's intellectual brilliance and critiques his formalistic approach to contract law. Drawing on Harold Bloom's The Anxiety of Influence, the analysis suggests that Gilmore engages in a struggle with Holmes's legacy, reflecting a mix of admiration and opposition, akin to how strong poets handle influential predecessors.
