Are Twelve Heads Better Than One?, Phoebe C. Ellsworth
Are Twelve Heads Better Than One?, Phoebe C. Ellsworth
Articles
Few advocates of the jury system would argue that the average juror is as competent a tribunal as the averagejudge. Whatever competence the jury has is a function of two of its attributes: its number and its interaction. The fact that a jury must be composed of at least six people,' with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, provides some protection against decisions based on an idiosyncratic view of the facts. Not only must the jury include at least six people, but they must be chosen in a manner that conforms to the ideal of the jury as representative of community …
Accommodation And Satisfaction: Women And Men Lawyers And The Balance Of Work And Family, David L. Chambers
Accommodation And Satisfaction: Women And Men Lawyers And The Balance Of Work And Family, David L. Chambers
Articles
This study of graduates of the University of Michigan Law School from the late 1970s reports on the differing ways that women and men have responded to the conflicting claims of work and family. It finds that women with children who have entered the profession have indeed continued to bear the principalr esponsibilitiesf or the care of children, but it alsof inds that these women, with all their burdens, are more satisfied with their careers and with the balance of their family and professional lives than other women and than men.
Legal Affinities, Joseph Vining
Legal Affinities, Joseph Vining
Articles
Not long ago, any question of the kind "How may theology serve as a resource in understanding law?" would have been hardly conceivable among lawyers. When Lon Fuller brought out his first book in 1940, The Law in Quest of Itself, he could think of no better way of tagging his adversary the legal positivist than to note a "parallel between theoretical theology and analytical jurisprudence." Two decades later, in the name of realism, Thurman Arnold dismissed Henry Hart's non-positivist jurisprudence in harsh terms. A master of the cutting phrase, he confidently entitled his attack "Professor Hart's Theology." Two decades …

The most dramatic development of the last decade has been the rapid judicial expansion of modifications in at-will employment doctrine.
Capital Punishment: A Disputation, Peter Lushing
Capital Punishment: A Disputation, Peter Lushing
Articles
The article critiques the use of capital punishment, arguing that it is morally flawed, ineffective as a deterrent, and disproportionately applied to marginalized groups. Through a dialogue between a judge and a clerk, it highlights the emotional and societal complexities surrounding the death penalty, ultimately advocating for its abolition in favor of life imprisonment and systemic reforms.
Bad Law Makes Hard Cases: Reflections On Teen-Aged Axe-Murderers, Judicial Activism, And Legislative Default, Barry C. Feld
Bad Law Makes Hard Cases: Reflections On Teen-Aged Axe-Murderers, Judicial Activism, And Legislative Default, Barry C. Feld
Articles
Waiver legislation in Minnesota, as in most other States, typically requires juvenile court judges to make individualized determinations as to a juvenile's amenability to treatment and danger to society as the basis for deciding whether to transfer the juvenile to adult court for disposition. Disposition in adult court allows for a more severe sanction than that permitted under the maximum sentence that can be dispensed in juvenile court. The difficulty and disparity in applying this waiver law lies in the discretion given to juvenile justice judges and the diverse criteria applied in judicial decisionmaking, both in the juvenile court and …

Response Latencies In A Word Association Test: A New Measuring Method And Its Results, Morton Isaacs
Response Latencies In A Word Association Test: A New Measuring Method And Its Results, Morton Isaacs
Articles
Recording of response delay to stimuli in a word association task to measure emotionality of the stimulus to the subject goes back to Jung (1910) but is still used quite often (Pollio, 1966). However, the measuring methods and devices have been relatively crude, yielding no better than the second discriminations and involving human intervention in the stimulus presentation and measurement process. The current research sought to assess the results of recording response latencies using a microcomputer for presentation of the stimuli and the precision measurements of the latencies. Comparison was then made as to whether significant differences in response latencies …
Family Feud: A Response To Robert Weisberg On Law And Literature, Richard H. Weisberg
Family Feud: A Response To Robert Weisberg On Law And Literature, Richard H. Weisberg
Articles
The article engages in a critical dialogue with Robert Weisberg's work on the intersection of law and literature, particularly his skepticism toward the field's potential for sentimentality and his resistance to the literary text as a primary source of legal insight. The author argues that literature provides a unique lens for understanding the irrationalities and ethical dimensions of legal discourse, challenging Weisberg's dismissal of its value. The article contends that Law and Literature must embrace its subversive potential to critique legal assumptions and institutional language, while also addressing the broader cultural and epistemological challenges facing interdisciplinary scholarship.
Individual Autonomy And Collective Empowerment In Labor Law: Union Membership Resignations And Strikebreaking In The New Economy, David Abraham
Individual Autonomy And Collective Empowerment In Labor Law: Union Membership Resignations And Strikebreaking In The New Economy, David Abraham
Articles
In this Article, Doctor Abraham studies the tensions between individual rights and theories of collective action in the context of union membership resignations and strikebreaking. He argues that recent judicial and executive tendencies to value individual worker autonomy over collective union action are misguided, lacking a basis in both legal precedent and social reality. In support of his view, Abraham first explores the philosophical and historical-sociological roots of labor and labor-capital relations, focusing on the meaning of employment and the history of collective action. Next, he examines the social and legal origins of the judiciary's recent tendency to increase union …
Lawyers And Informal Justice: The Case Of A Public Housing Eviction Board, Richard O. Lempert, Karl Monsma
Lawyers And Informal Justice: The Case Of A Public Housing Eviction Board, Richard O. Lempert, Karl Monsma
Articles
When lawyers think of civil procedure they almost invariably think of the rules of civil procedure and the formality they entail. A course in civil procedure focusing almost exclusively on the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is in most law schools part of the traditional first-year curriculum. Indeed some would argue that it is at the core of that curriculum, for more than any other first-year course it takes students away from familiar moral anchors and instructs them in a set of distinctively legal practices and values. The ability to manipulate the legal system's rules of procedure is the most …

Children And Television Advertising: A Cognitive Development Perspective, Darach Turley, Helen Gallagher
Articles
While the population growth rate in Ireland appears at least temporarily to have ground to a halt, the fact remains that this country will have to cherish and cater for a singularly sizeable children’s market for the next decade. This article begins with a qualitative examination of Irish advertising houses’ views on their respective outputs and target groups. Central to the process of communicating with the children’s market is the need to fully appreciate its heterogeneity. Psychologically speaking the “children’s market” is a misnomer. To this end, a series of questions are administered to a sample of Dublin children to …

Rights Discourse And Neonatal Euthanasia, Carl E. Schneider
Articles
Hard cases, they say, make bad law. Hard cases, we know, can also make revealing law. Hard cases identify the problems we have not found a way of solving. They reveal ways the law's goals conflict. They force us to articulate our assumptions and to examine our modes of discourse and reasoning. If there was ever a hard case for the law, it is the question of whether, how, and by whom it should be decided to allow newborn children who are severely retarded mentally or severely damaged physically to die. For many years, the law has not had to …
Law And Literature: 'No Manifesto', James Boyd White
Law And Literature: 'No Manifesto', James Boyd White
Articles
With what hopes and expectations should a lawyer turn to the reading of imaginative literature? To books and articles that purport to connect that literature in some way with the law? In particular, is "law and literature" -to which this Symposium is directed-to be thought of as an academic "field" like law and psychiatry, say, or law and economics? If so, what can it purport to teach us? If not, how is it to be thought of?
From Appraisal To Emotion: Differences Among Unpleasant Feelings, Phoebe C. Ellsworth, Craig A. Smith
From Appraisal To Emotion: Differences Among Unpleasant Feelings, Phoebe C. Ellsworth, Craig A. Smith
Articles
Recent research has indicated strong relations between people's appraisals of their circumstances and their emotional states. The present study examined these relations across a range of unpleasant situations in which subjects experienced complex emotional blends. Subjects recalled unpleasant experiences from their pasts that were associated with particular appraisals and described their appraisals and emotions during these experiences. Situations defined by particular appraisals along the human agency or situational control dimensions were reliably associated with different levels of anger, sadness, and guilt, as predicted. However, predicted differences in emotion were not observed for situations selected for appraisals along the certainty or …

Promise Fulfilled And Principle Betrayed, James J. White
Promise Fulfilled And Principle Betrayed, James J. White
Articles
My responsibility in this paper is to address three questions. (1) How has the legal realist body of thought affected contract law and its application? (2) How will contract law and its application be affected in the future by realist thinking? (3) If the realist viewpoint were fully accepted, what kind of system would result and how would contract law be affected? Because my focus is upon a principal legislative monument to realism, Article Two of the Uniform Commercial Code (the "U.C.C."), and upon its drafter, Karl Llewellyn, I will not answer any of the three questions explicitly. By focusing …
