The Identity Of Legal Systems, Joseph Raz Jan 1971

The Identity Of Legal Systems, Joseph Raz

Faculty Scholarship

Laws are part of legal systems; a particular law is a law only if it is part of American law or French law or some other legal system. Legal philosophers have persistently attempted to explain why we think of laws as forming legal systems, to evaluate the merits of this way of thinking about the law and to make it more precise by explicating the features that account for the unity of legal systems. Various theories have been suggested but none has been accepted as completely satisfactory, and the continuing debate owes much to the intricacy of the problems involved. …


Former-Testimony Exception In The Proposed Federal Rules Of Evidence, The , Michael M. Martin Jan 1971

Former-Testimony Exception In The Proposed Federal Rules Of Evidence, The , Michael M. Martin

Faculty Scholarship

According to one member of the Advisory Committee which drafted them, the proposed Rules of Evidence for the United States Courts and Magistrates were promulgated to "improve the truth-finding capacity of the courts," as well as to provide the benefits of simplification and uniformity. In much the same way that the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure have led to modernization of procedural rules in many states, the proposed Federal Rules of Evidence may be the vehicle by which improvements unsuccessfully codified in the Model Code of Evidence and the Uniform Rules of Evidence can finally be achieved across the United …


Of Rights And Remedies: The Constitution As A Sword, Walter E. Dellinger Iii Jan 1971

Of Rights And Remedies: The Constitution As A Sword, Walter E. Dellinger Iii

Faculty Scholarship

In Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, the Supreme Court held that a case of action for damages against federal law enforcement offices who violate the fourth amendment could be inferred directly from constitutional provisions. Through analysis of the reasoning which necessarily underlies such a holding, the author draws several general conclusions about the respective roles of the Court and Congres in creating and restricting remedies effectuating constitutional guarantees. He then applies his analysis to the possibilities for independant judicial creation of an action against governmental units and for legislative replacement of the exclusionary …

On The Road To Educational Failure: A Lawyer's Guide To Tracking, G. Emlen Hall Jun 1970

On The Road To Educational Failure: A Lawyer's Guide To Tracking, G. Emlen Hall

Faculty Scholarship

Tracking, using the term in the broader sense to include all ability . grouping, represents a solution to an insoluble dilemma. While individualized instruction has long been touted as the great desideratum in American education, no one has ever been willing to pay what it would cost to give each child a different education. Educators thus devised what they considered to be the-next best thing, educational units large enough to be economically viable but small enough to isolate students with what were thought to be roughly similar educational needs. These needs are determined by an unformulated formula employing "objective testing," …

Once More Into The Breach: Promissory Estoppel And Traditional Damage Doctrine, Theodore S. Sims Jan 1970

Once More Into The Breach: Promissory Estoppel And Traditional Damage Doctrine, Theodore S. Sims

Faculty Scholarship

When, in the absence of traditional contract formalities, a promise is enforced because the promisee has acted in reliance upon it, both courts and commentators have disagreed over the proper measure of damages. Early in the debate, two positions could be discerned. Advocates of the one favored enforcing the promise according to its terms and awarding the promisee full contractual damages.This measure of recovery has come to be called the expectation interest and is an attempt to put the promisee in the same position as he would have been had the promise been fulfilled. Advocates of the other position would …

Public Support And The Sectarian University, Walter Gellhorn, Kent Greenawalt Jan 1970

Public Support And The Sectarian University, Walter Gellhorn, Kent Greenawalt

Faculty Scholarship

In mid-1968 we undertook to advise Fordham University concerning steps that might be appropriate to establish its eligibility for public assistance. As part of that task we tried to determine the extent to which present law requires official differentiation between Church-related and other institutions of higher learning. Since the University sought a wholly detached consideration of its legal posture, our conclusions in this article represent our best judgment of the present state of the law and its probable development. We have avoided indicating our own personal position on debatable legal and ethical issues.


Decision Trees, Peter L. Strauss, Michael R. Topping Jan 1970

Decision Trees, Peter L. Strauss, Michael R. Topping

Faculty Scholarship

The object of this paper is to inform those concerned with the administration of justice in Ethiopia – particularly, criminal justice – about a new and simple procedure which may assist in procuring uniform interpretation and application of laws and regulations. The problem of uniform interpretation and application is particularly severe where, as in Ethiopia, new laws must be interpreted and applied by persons who have not yet had the opportunity of formal legal education. For these persons the discovery of the relevant code articles and the understanding of their interrelationships and application must be very difficult indeed. One possible …

On Lawful Governments, Joseph Raz Jan 1970

On Lawful Governments, Joseph Raz

Faculty Scholarship

What is the meaning of sentences of the form 'X is the lawful government of the country Y,' and what kinds of statements are normally -made by using them? Most answers to these questions can be classified as legalistic, moralistic, or compromise solutions. The gist of the legalistic approach is that the lawful government is that authorized by the positive law of the land. Critics of the legalistic approach point out that disagreement about the lawful government is not always solved when agreement is reached about the positive law of the land. For example, two people may disagree as to …

Criminal Procedure For Juvenile Offenders In Ethiopia, Stanley Z. Fisher

The purpose of this article is to set out, in summary fashion, the law concerning juvenile offenders in Ethiopia. Our focus will be on procedural rather than substantive aspects-insofar as it is possible to separate the two-and particularly upon the enforcement of constitutional guarantees in the process.


First Amendment "Due Process", Henry Paul Monaghan Jan 1970

First Amendment "Due Process", Henry Paul Monaghan

Faculty Scholarship

A number of recent Supreme Court opinions, primarily in the obscenity area, have fastened strict procedural requirements on governmental action aimed at controlling the exercise of first amendment rights. Professor Monaghan believes that there are two basic principles that can be distilled from these cases: that a judicial body, following an adversary hearing, must decide on the protected character of the speech, and that the judicial determination must either precede or immediately follow any governmental action which restricts speech. The author argues that these two broad principles should limit any governmental activity which affects freedom of speech, no matter how …
