The Original Constitution And Our Origins, John O. Mcginnis
The Original Constitution And Our Origins, John O. Mcginnis
Articles
The question why we should be bound by the original Constitution often is framed as why we should be guided by the dead hand of the past. The notion that this venerable document should be viewed as a possibly unfortunate constraint on our present potential as a society contains an implicit premise about man in history. According to this view, it is open to man to make his history in each generation through some collective cultural process. Given such a premise, it seems plausible to believe that each generation should enjoy the opportunity to decide anew whether to submit to …
Taking Responsibility: Law's Relation To Justice And D'Amato's Deconstructive Practice, Arthur J. Jacobson
Taking Responsibility: Law's Relation To Justice And D'Amato's Deconstructive Practice, Arthur J. Jacobson
Articles
The Essay challenges the conventional view of law's relationship with justice by defending the indeterminacy thesis, arguing that law enhances the opportunity for taking responsibility, contrary to the usual perspective that sees justice as liability and law as defining liability. It critiques both D'Amato's belief in absolute justice and Derrida's assignment of determinacy to law, asserting that both underestimate law's capacity for justice. The Essay distinguishes between assigned and taken responsibility, advocating for a dynamic conception of law that aligns with substantive justice.
Contingency Fee Abuses, Ethical Mandates, And The Disciplinary System: The Case Against Case-By-Case Enforcement, Lester Brickman
Contingency Fee Abuses, Ethical Mandates, And The Disciplinary System: The Case Against Case-By-Case Enforcement, Lester Brickman
Articles
Contingency fee abuses are attracting increased public attention. Particular interest is focused on the enormous contingency fees generated by mass tort litigation; in some cases, lawyers are collecting multi-million dollar fees essentially for performing paralegal work. In addition, the relationship between the availability of enormous contingency fees and the amassing of thousands of claims of injury in order to dramatically shift the litigation dynamic in favor of plaintiffs is becoming increasingly apparent. For example, the possibility that major ongoing massive litigations, such as those involving silicone breast implants and the as yet nascent litigation involving the contraceptive Norplant, have much …
Some Realism About Legal Surrealism, Jeanne L. Schroeder
Some Realism About Legal Surrealism, Jeanne L. Schroeder
Articles
The article challenges the traditional understanding of possession in property law, arguing that the concept is increasingly inadequate due to its reliance on physical metaphors that fail to account for intangible assets and noncustodial interests. It advocates for a shift toward an abstract, Hegelian approach, emphasizing legal recognition and control over physical custody, particularly in the context of modern commercial transactions governed by the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).
Death And Transfiguration: The Myth That The U.C.C. Killed "Property", Jeanne L. Schroeder
Death And Transfiguration: The Myth That The U.C.C. Killed "Property", Jeanne L. Schroeder
Articles
The article examines the evolution of property concepts in legal frameworks, particularly focusing on the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) and its treatment of title in sales transactions. It argues that while the U.C.C. attempted to shift from traditional notions of property as a unitary right to a more process-oriented approach, it did not fully abandon the underlying imagery of property as a tangible, identifiable object. The analysis critiques the common law's emphasis on title and explores the idea that property should be viewed as a legal relation among subjects rather than a fixed, physical entity. The article proposes a reinterpretation …

Theorists' Belief: A Comment On The Moral Tradition Of American Constitutionalism, Jospeh Vining
Theorists' Belief: A Comment On The Moral Tradition Of American Constitutionalism, Jospeh Vining
Articles
The Moral Tradition of American Constitutionalism is one of those rare works that leads us to face, at the center of law and legal thought, the largest questions about human life and human purpose. There is a special reader's shudder, a certain gestural shift in the chair, reserved for that moment of realizing where one is being led-not to the edge, but to the center, so that the questions become insistent, and whatever we and others say and do in the face of them becomes our response to them.
The Risks Of Death: Why Erroneous Convictions Are Common In Capital Cases (Symposium: The New York Death Penalty In Context), Samuel R. Gross
The Risks Of Death: Why Erroneous Convictions Are Common In Capital Cases (Symposium: The New York Death Penalty In Context), Samuel R. Gross
Articles
As the Supreme Court has said, time and again, death is different: It is "different in kind from any other punishment imposed under our system of criminal justice;"1 it "differs more from life imprisonment than a 100-year sentence differs from one of only a year or two;"' 2 and so forth. Traditionally, this observation has justified special procedural protections for capital defendants. Justice Harlan put it nicely nearly forty years ago: "I do not concede that whatever process is 'due' an offender faced with a fine or a prison sentence necessarily satisfies the requirements of the Constitution in a capital …

Don't Try: Civil Jury Verdicts In A System Geared To Settlement, Samuel R. Gross, Kent D. Syverud
Don't Try: Civil Jury Verdicts In A System Geared To Settlement, Samuel R. Gross, Kent D. Syverud
Articles
If it is true, as we often hear, that we are one of the most litigious societies on earth, it is because of our propensity to sue, not our affinity for trials. Of the hundreds of thousands of civil lawsuits that are filed each year in America, the great majority are settled; of those that are not settled, most are ultimately dismissed by the plaintiffs or by the courts; only a few percent are tried to a jury or a judge. This is no accident. We prefer settlements and have designed a system of civil justice that embodies and expresses …
Capture And Counteraction: Self- Help By Environmental Zealots (Allen Chair Symposium 1996: The Future Of Environmental And Land-Use Regulation), James E. Krier
Capture And Counteraction: Self- Help By Environmental Zealots (Allen Chair Symposium 1996: The Future Of Environmental And Land-Use Regulation), James E. Krier
Articles
Self-help is a largely neglected topic in American legal studies.1 With the exception of a survey by a group of law students published a dozen years ago,2 there appears to be little, if anything, in our legal literature that confronts the subject in a systematic way.3 This is so, at least, if one defines self-help as I do. To me, the term refers to any act of bypassing the formal legal system in order to get what one wants.
On Transitive And Fully Transitive Abelian P-Groups, D. Carroll, Brendan Goldsmith
On Transitive And Fully Transitive Abelian P-Groups, D. Carroll, Brendan Goldsmith
Articles
It is a long standing problem of A.L.S. Corner as to whether there exists a non-transitive fully transitive Abelian p-group with finite Ulm subgroups. The principal result of this paper shows that no such group exists for a special class of p-groups if the Ulm subjgroup is the direct sum of two cyclic groups. Some results on summands of trnsitive and fully transitive groups are obtained.

A Formal Preparation For Object-Oriented Query Optimisation, Catherine Higgins
A Formal Preparation For Object-Oriented Query Optimisation, Catherine Higgins
Articles
This paper describes work that is in progress on a formalised preparation to object-oriented query optimisation. Such preparation is conducive to the development of optimisation strategies. As an example of a formal preparation, this paper presents a formalised object algebra, a suggested optimisation method and an implementation of an algebraic converter suitable for DAPLEX.
Rotating Disk Ion Selective Electrodes, John Cassidy, David Mullen, Karen Casey, Patrick Cullen
Rotating Disk Ion Selective Electrodes, John Cassidy, David Mullen, Karen Casey, Patrick Cullen
Articles
A simulation was undertaken to predict the transient potential response following a concentration step at a rotating disk electrode comprised of an ion selective layer. A basis for this simulation was that the potential response would be independent of rotation rate since the diffusion layer is larger than the double layer at the electrode. In practice it was found that the potential response does vary with rotation rate. The response was such that the apparent concentration of the analyte in solution decreased with increased rotation rate. The reason for this behavior is due to the disruption of the double layer …
The Once And Future Property-Based Vision Of The First Amendment, John O. Mcginnis
The Once And Future Property-Based Vision Of The First Amendment, John O. Mcginnis
Articles
The growth of the information superhighway depends not only on technological developments, but also on our society's commitment to the free flow of information. Paradoxically, however, as the digital revolution in telecommunications is bringing the information superhighway into sharp focus, the justifications for contemporary First Amendment jurisprudence are becoming blurred.

Race And Place: Geographic And Transcendent Community In The Post-Shaw Era, Lisa A. Kelly
Race And Place: Geographic And Transcendent Community In The Post-Shaw Era, Lisa A. Kelly
Articles
Race and Place is a narrative article, both fictional and true, dedicated to exploring the dual realities of a geographic and transcendent community in the context of the Supreme Court's recent decisions in Shaw v. Reno and Miller v. Johnson. The Court has allowed and affirmed constitutional challenges to districts drawn to empower African-Americans "with nothing in common but the color of their skin." The Article draws upon history, literature, political science, and law to critique the Court's assumptions concerning the challenged districts and to demonstrate the existence of African-American communities of interest which are both geographically bounded by …

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