Ali To Flood To Marshall: The Most Triumphant Of Words, Alfred Dennis Mathewson Jan 1999

Ali To Flood To Marshall: The Most Triumphant Of Words, Alfred Dennis Mathewson

Faculty Scholarship

I am honored to participate in this commentary on the Curt Flood Act of 1998.1 I shall not, however, provide a detailed analysis of its provisions. Instead I Will reflect upon my reactions to the Act. To be honest, I am disappointed. Negotiated by the Major League owners and the Major League Baseball Players Association through collective bargaining and modified by Congress, the Act is certain to become a staple of legislative drafting courses for decades. As others in this commentary may have stated, it is as notable for what it purports to do as for what Congress purports it …

Entrenching Interests: State Supermajority Requirements To Raise Taxes, Max J. Minzner Jan 1999

Entrenching Interests: State Supermajority Requirements To Raise Taxes, Max J. Minzner

Faculty Scholarship

At the opening of the 104th Congress, the new Republican majority imposed the first supermajority requirement "limited to particular cases" in the history of Congress. The unanswered question is whether the Rule is a good idea, particularly whether this Rule is well designed. The states have extensive experience with supermajority requirements for tax increases. This article attempts to answer the question of supermajority design. If alterations in the tax code are to be restricted, how should they be limited? To what type of bills should a supermajority requirement apply? At what level should the requirement be implemented? When and how …


From Nation State To Failed State: International Protection From Human Rights Abuses By Non-State Agents, Jennifer Moore Jan 1999

From Nation State To Failed State: International Protection From Human Rights Abuses By Non-State Agents, Jennifer Moore

Faculty Scholarship

In her seminal 1951 work The Origins of Totalitarianism, the political philosopher Hannah Arendt examined historical developments in Europe during the period between the two World Wars and declared that "the transformation of the state from an instrument of the law into an instrument of the nation had been completed." While Arendt focused on threats to individual and minority rights posed by the repressive "nation-state," her critique also identified the complicity of an international legal system that accorded undue deference to sovereign prerogative. The collapse of the League of Nations, the ascendancy of the Nazi Party in Germany, and the …


[On The] Road Back In: Community Lawyering In Indigenous Communities, Christine Zuni Cruz Jan 1999

[On The] Road Back In: Community Lawyering In Indigenous Communities, Christine Zuni Cruz

Faculty Scholarship

The idea of professional success,especially in the elite legal profession, as being closely linked to community or having corresponding value to the community has directly affected my view of individual lawyering. Excerpts reprinted in: Social Justice: Professionals, Communities and Law, 11 (Mahoney, Calmore, Wildman, eds., 2003); Lawyers Ethics and The Pursuit of Social Justice and Ethics 201 (Susan D. Carle, ed., 2005); Clinical Anthology, Readings for Live-Client Clinics, (2d Ed., A.J. Hurder, et al., eds., 2011).


Introduction: Latcrit Theory: Mapping It's Intellectual And Political Foundations And Future Self-Critical Directions, Margaret E. Montoya Jan 1999

Introduction: Latcrit Theory: Mapping It's Intellectual And Political Foundations And Future Self-Critical Directions, Margaret E. Montoya

Faculty Scholarship

The third annual gathering of LatCrit scholars has resulted in this cluster of essays and articles that continue the work of defining the foundations and the future directions of this legal scholarship movement. As described in some of the articles within this cluster, LatCrit has had the benefit of learning valuable lessons from other slightly older schools of critical legal theory, most particularly from the Critical Race Theory ("CRT") Workshop. The LatCrit movement has been strengthened because scholars identified primarily with CRT working with and alongside scholars identified primarily with LatCrit have struggled to recognize, name and address the hetero-normativity …


Gagged But Not Bound: The Ineffectiveness Of The Rules Governing Judicial Campaign Speech, Max J. Minzner Jan 1999

Gagged But Not Bound: The Ineffectiveness Of The Rules Governing Judicial Campaign Speech, Max J. Minzner

Faculty Scholarship

This article argues that while the text and the history of the gag rule would seem to indicate that implied commitments are prohibited, candidates have a wide variety of methods available to signal voters how they might decide cases if they reach the bench. Courts have failed to recognize the importance of limiting speech other than traditional policy promises due to a failure to adequately consider the most important motivating factor behind the gag rule: providing litigants impartial adjudication. Because courts have not made this the primary consideration in the gag rule cases, speech occurs in campaigns that would otherwise …

Disestablishing Local School Districts As A Remedy For Educational Inadequacy Note, Aaron J. Saiger Jan 1999

Disestablishing Local School Districts As A Remedy For Educational Inadequacy Note, Aaron J. Saiger

Faculty Scholarship

Most state constitutions recognize a right to education, but courts have been hard pressed to respond to violations of that right. Some state courts have imposed financial and substantive reforms, only to see their implementation miscarry as educational deficiencies stubbornly persist. Other state courts, fearing such outcomes, instead treat education claims as nonjusticiable political questions; in these states, public education is a right with no remedy. This Note argues that courts should instead base remedies on state statutes that permit states to disestablish-i.e., to withdraw authority from-deficient school districts. Disestablishment, like other structural remedies, is largely self-implementing and avoids judicial …


The Maladaptation Of Miranda To Advance Directives: A Critique Of The Implementation Of The Patient Self-Determination Act, Thaddeus Mason Pope Jan 1999

The Maladaptation Of Miranda To Advance Directives: A Critique Of The Implementation Of The Patient Self-Determination Act, Thaddeus Mason Pope

Faculty Scholarship

In this Article, Thaddeus Pope argues that the Patient Self Determination Act (PSDA) is a failure on its own terms. The Article first identifiesthe central purpose of the Act as the protection of patient autonomy. The Article then reviews much of the empirical research on the implementation of the Act. This research suggests that the medical preferences expressed in advance directives completed pursuant to the PSDA are usually not based on real understanding because patients are merely "Mirandized" of their right to direct their post-autonomous medical care. Although some scholars contend that this is the most that can be expected …

Social And Legal Repercussions Of Latinos' Colonized Mentality, Laura M. Padilla Jan 1999

Social And Legal Repercussions Of Latinos' Colonized Mentality, Laura M. Padilla

Faculty Scholarship

This essay begins by defining internalized oppression and racism and exposing the harms they cause. It dissects the reasons we engage in internalized racism and explains how once exposed, it will be easier to engage in a conscious effort to eradicate internalized racism. It will then describe how the intersectionality of internalized oppression and racism is expressed in the Latino community. The essay will then re-imagine Latino identity without internalized oppression and racism. It will include ideas on how to overcome internalized oppression and racism generally, both at the corporate and individual levels. The essay concludes that exposing internalized oppression …


Not Quite Grown Up: The Difficulty Of Applying An Adult Education Model To Legal Externs, Linda H. Morton, Janet Weinstein, Mark Weinstein Jan 1999

Not Quite Grown Up: The Difficulty Of Applying An Adult Education Model To Legal Externs, Linda H. Morton, Janet Weinstein, Mark Weinstein

Faculty Scholarship

Using andragogical theory developed by Malcolm Knowles as a foundation as well as a counterpoint, this article presents a new framework for teaching clinic students. Frustrated by tensions they encountered in teaching students whom they expected to have all the qualities of “adult learners,” the authors developed a new theory that blends humanistic as well as developmental theory. The article describes this new theory and evaluates why it works in clinical teaching.
