The Market For Loyalties: Electronic Media And The Global Competition For Allegiances, Monroe E. Price Dec 1994

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.


Bioethics With A Human Face, Carl E. Schneider Oct 1994

Bioethics With A Human Face, Carl E. Schneider

Articles

This Article and the successor article I will shortly publish grow out of one reaction I have had to years of reading bioethical and legal literature. Let me begin by putting the point in its simplest, even crudest, form: That literature too often discusses the problems of health care in so disembodied and denatured a way that the patients and physicians, the family and friends, the dread and the disease are quite abstracted from the scene. The result is a literature that critically limits itself and that crucially oversimplifies the issues it confronts. There are, of course, reasons bioethical and …


On The Contribution Of Baseball To American Legal Theory, Charles M. Yablon Oct 1994

On The Contribution Of Baseball To American Legal Theory, Charles M. Yablon

Articles

The article explores the influence of baseball on American legal theory, arguing that baseball's rules and traditions have significantly shaped legal thought. It posits that baseball's structured yet flexible system, which acknowledges both luck and skill, offers valuable insights into legal principles and methodologies. The author contends that legal scholars have drawn parallels between baseball and law, leading to new perspectives in jurisprudence.

The Other Path Of The Law, Arthur J. Jacobson Jun 1994

The Other Path Of The Law, Arthur J. Jacobson

Articles

The article argues that the informal economy plays a crucial role in shaping jurisprudence, challenging the traditional state-oriented, "static" approach to law. It introduces the concept of "dynamic jurisprudence," which emphasizes individual dignity, mutual recognition, and the constant reshaping of legal norms through interpersonal interactions. This dynamic approach contrasts with static jurisprudence, which relies on a correlating agency like the state to maintain rights and duties. The article contends that dynamic jurisprudence enhances personal and collective power, allowing individuals to resist or reform state commands, and highlights the importance of recognizing the interplay between formal and informal legal systems.

Nationalism And The Right To Self-Determination: The Arab-Israeli Conflict, Malvina Halberstam Apr 1994

Nationalism And The Right To Self-Determination: The Arab-Israeli Conflict, Malvina Halberstam

Articles

Self-determination is a slogan that has captured the imagination of people throughout the world. Numerous U.N. General Assembly resolutions have exalted self-determination, often above the fundamental rights specifically provided for in the U.N. Charter. Notwithstanding these resolutions, in practice, self-determination generally has been applied only to the dismemberment of colonial empires. Its universal application is neither possible nor desirable.

In the Arab-Israeli conflict, self-determination was never truly the issue. The conflict has been deliberately transformed into a claim for self-determination as a political tactic designed to gain the support of third world countries in the United Nations. The issues in …


Marriage, Morals, And The Law: No-Fault Divorce And Moral Discourse, Carl E. Schneider Apr 1994

Marriage, Morals, And The Law: No-Fault Divorce And Moral Discourse, Carl E. Schneider

Articles

In this Essay, I want to reflect on no fault-divorce and the social attitudes that underlie it. In particular, I want to consider that reform in light of an article I wrote some years ago entitled Moral Discourse and the Transformation of American Family Law. There I argued that in recent years the language of American family law has changed notably: today family law issues are decreasingly discussed in the language of morality. In other words, legal institutions have decreasingly talked about those issues in moral terms. Rather, they have tended to avoid handling some moral issues altogether-often by …


A Cd-Rom Based Agricultural Information Retrieval System, H W. Beck, P H. Jones, Dennis G. Watson Feb 1994

A Cd-Rom Based Agricultural Information Retrieval System, H W. Beck, P H. Jones, Dennis G. Watson

Articles

An information retrieval system for agricultural extension was developed using CD-ROM technology as the primary medium for information delivery. Object-oriented database techniques were used to organize the information. Conventional retrieval techniques including hypertext, fulltext searching, and relational databases, and decision support programs such as expert systems were integrated into a complete package for accessing information stored on the CDROM. A multimedia user interface was developed to provide a variety of capabilities including computer graphics and high-resolution digitized images. Information for the disk was gathered and entered using extension publications which were tagged using an SGML-based document markup language. The fully …

Of Richard Epstein And Other Radical Feminists, Mary Anne Case Jan 1994

Of Richard Epstein And Other Radical Feminists, Mary Anne Case

Articles

My goal in this discussion is to persuade all members of the Federalist Society that they are or should be feminists. I shall pursue this goal in two ways: first by setting forth an expansive definition of feminist jurisprudence; secondly by showing that anyone who combines the two commitments Richard Epstein urges on feminists-commitments to the descriptive message of sociobiology and to the normative message of libertarianism-must inevitably be, not merely a feminist, but a very radical feminist indeed. In short, feminism is for everyone, especially for Richard Epstein.

Epstein On His Own Grounds, Richard H. Mcadams Jan 1994

Epstein On His Own Grounds, Richard H. Mcadams

Articles

Forbidden Grounds fails to follow through on its own terms. Epstein invokes Thomas Hobbes but never considers the Hobbesian argument for Title VII; employs economic analysis without disclosing its dependence on controversial empirical assumptions; and makes empirical claims, particularly about social norms, without applying the standards of criticism to supporting evidence that he applies to contrary evidence.
