Children's Task Force Reports, Donald N. Duquette, Cd Stephens Jan 1995

Children's Task Force Reports, Donald N. Duquette, Cd Stephens

Articles

When the public thinks of children and the law, high-visibility cases like Baby Jessica and Baby Richard come to mind. The human drama of a small child caught up in a titanic custody struggle attracts unrelenting media attention and triggers cries for law reform. Yet for every Baby Jessica and Baby Richard, thousands of children pass through our courts with little public attention but with consequences to them just as momentous and life altering as those cases featured on the national news shows. In 1991 State Bar of Michigan leadership began to ask whether our profession and Michigan's courts are …

Violent Youth And Public Policy: A Case Study Of Juvenile Justice Law Reform, Barry C. Feld Jan 1995

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.

Art Of Judgement In Planned Parenthood V. Casey, James Boyd White Jan 1995

Art Of Judgement In Planned Parenthood V. Casey, James Boyd White

Articles

This article was excerpted and abridged with permission from a chapter in Professor White's recent book Acts of Hope: Creating Authority in Literature, Law, and Politics. In the book, he explores the nature of authority in various cultural contexts. Here he examines the Joint Opinion in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which has been attacked both from the right, on the grounds that it tried to keep Roe v. Wade alive, and from the left, on the grounds that it significantly weakens the force of that case. Professor White, by contrast, admires it greatly, and in this chapter explains …


Instability In Self-Pulsation In Laser Diodes And Its Effect On All-Optical Synchonization, Jonathan Hyland, Gerald Farrell Dec 1994

Instability In Self-Pulsation In Laser Diodes And Its Effect On All-Optical Synchonization, Jonathan Hyland, Gerald Farrell

Articles

The effect of short- and long-term frequency instability in self pulsation on all-optical synchronization using a twin-section laser diode is experimentally investigated. Short-term frequency instability broadens the unlocked full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the fundamental of the rf spectrum of the self-pulsating laser diode. We show experimentally that the value of the unlocked FWHM, and thus the level of short-term instability, has a direct effect on the optical power required to maintain synchronization. A novel means of reducing the FWHM is presented based on a reflective transmission line stub connected to the absorber of the twin-section self-pulsating laser …


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.


Virgin Territory: Margaret Radin's Imagery Of Personal Property As The Inviolate Feminine Body, Jeanne L. Schroeder Nov 1994

Virgin Territory: Margaret Radin's Imagery Of Personal Property As The Inviolate Feminine Body, Jeanne L. Schroeder

Articles

Margaret Jane Radin's theory of property for personhood posits that certain personal property is deeply intertwined with individual identity, necessitating legal protections that go beyond traditional property rights. While her approach offers a feminist perspective by emphasizing the body and body-like objects as extensions of selfhood, critics argue that her framework lacks an account of community and intersubjectivity, rendering it incomplete. The article suggests that integrating insights from Hegel and Lacan could provide a more comprehensive understanding of property relations, addressing both personal and communal dimensions.


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.


Publicly Held Servitudes In The New Restatement, Stewart E. Sterk Oct 1994

Publicly Held Servitudes In The New Restatement, Stewart E. Sterk

Articles

The first Restatement of Servitudes, adopted by the American Law Institute fifty years ago, largely ignored public law issues. Because condominiums were largely unknown and homeowners' associations were in their infancy, the Restatement did not discuss, let alone resolve, the problems that arise when property owners create governance structures by private agreement. Similarly, the Restatement accorded no special treatment to the problems that arise when government, as landowner or as regulator, enters into servitude relationships. The current Restatement has remedied these omissions. Its not yet completed chapter on Property Owners' Associations has already received considerable attention. Less noticed, however, have …


Jurisprudence And Personality In The Work Of John Rawls, David G. Carlson Oct 1994

Jurisprudence And Personality In The Work Of John Rawls, David G. Carlson

Articles

The article argues that John Rawls's concept of the person undergoes a significant shift between A Theory of Justice and Political Liberalism, necessitating a corresponding change in jurisprudence. In A Theory of Justice, Rawls employs a "correlative jurisprudence," where law is determinate, complete, and judges merely apply existing law. This approach is tied to a narrow, passive view of personality, treating individuals as mere loci of liberty and rights. In contrast, Political Liberalism presents a dynamic, contradictory conception of the person as a union of moral capacity and a determinate conception of the good. This shift, the article contends, requires …

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.

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 …

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.
