Economic Theory And Environmental Law, Mark Sagoff
Economic Theory And Environmental Law, Mark Sagoff
Michigan Law Review
In Part I of this essay, I argue that environmental legislation, at least during the past twenty years, fails to make economic "common sense," that is, it fails to maximize the satisfaction of consumer demand over the long run. Laws like the Endangered Species Act flout this conception of economic efficiency. This is how most Americans would have it: most Americans reject the notion that the natural environment should be made over to serve the wants of the self-interested consumer. Part II describes the way that economists have attempted to take account of citizen or community-regarding preferences. I suggest that …
In Search Of A General Approach To Legal Analysis: A Comparative Institutional Alternative, Neil Komesar
In Search Of A General Approach To Legal Analysis: A Comparative Institutional Alternative, Neil Komesar
Michigan Law Review
This Article is an attempt to aid in the construction of such a general approach to legal analysis. Its central thesis is that all legal decisions share a fundamental feature that should be a basic building block for any general analytic approach: they all involve a choice among imperfect alternative decision-making institutions. In all cases, legal decision makers must consider the relative merits or attributes of the alternative institutions. The analyst of legal decisions, therefore, should adopt a "comparative institutional" approach, which can be simply stated as follows: the determinants of legal decisions can best be analyzed when legal decision …
Refunding Overcharges Under The Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act: The Evolution Of A Compensatory Obligation, Michigan Law Review
Refunding Overcharges Under The Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act: The Evolution Of A Compensatory Obligation, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The DOE's authority to order noncompensatory remedies has been seriously questioned. This Note will evaluate the propriety of such remedies in light of the history of petroleum price control enforcement. Although the DOE's enabling legislation does not explicitly impose a compensatory obligation, the Note finds that Congress anticipated that remedies would compensate, to the extent feasible, those persons actually overcharged. Part I traces the development of a compensatory obligation through the various stages of price regulation. Part II criticizes the DOE for abnegating that obligation. The Note concludes that the Department's recent consent orders violate both its own rules and …
Disclosure Of Grand Jury Materials Under Clayton Act Section 4f(B), Michigan Law Review
Disclosure Of Grand Jury Materials Under Clayton Act Section 4f(B), Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note analyzes the controversy and concludes that the latter courts are correct: Congress never intended to abrogate or modify rule 6(e)'s "particularized need" standard when it enacted section4F(b). Part I discusses whether Congress intended section 4F(b) to require the Attorney General to disclose grand jury materials to state attorneys general upon request, thereby abrogating rule 6(e)'s explicit prohibition against such disclosure. Part II examines the statutory language and legislative history of section). 4F(b) to determine whether Congress intended section 4F(b) to modify rule 6(e)'s "particularized need" standard. Finally, Part III evaluates the policies affected by liberalized disclosure of grand …
Sec Disciplinary Proceedings Against Attorneys Under Rule 2 ( E ), Michigan Law Review
Sec Disciplinary Proceedings Against Attorneys Under Rule 2 ( E ), Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note reassesses SEC authority to discipline attorneys under rule 2( e ). Part I explores the history of rule 2( e) proceedings against attorneys and the troublesome policy issues raised by the SEC's new approach to rule 2(e) enforcement. Part II examines the SEC's claim that general rulemaking provisions give it authority to discipline attorneys. The Note concludes that a proper construction of statutes and case law bars rule 2( e) proceedings against attorneys.
Desert And Deterrence: An Assessment Of The Moral Bases Of The Case For Capital Punishment, Richard O. Lempert
Desert And Deterrence: An Assessment Of The Moral Bases Of The Case For Capital Punishment, Richard O. Lempert
Michigan Law Review
The controversy over the death penalty has generated arguments of two types. The first argument appeals to moral intuitions; the second concerns deterrence. Although both types of argument speak to the morality of systems of capital punishment, the first debate has been dominated by moral philosophers and the second by empirical social scientists. For convenience I shall at times refer to the approach of the moral philosophers as the moral case for (or against) capital punishment or as the argument from morality.
Griffin V. California: Still Viable After All These Years, Craig M. Bradley
Griffin V. California: Still Viable After All These Years, Craig M. Bradley
Michigan Law Review
In a recent article in the Michigan Law Review, Donald Ayer levels a series of attacks on the Griffin decision. Specifically, he maintains that the decision is at once too broad, because it requires "almost automatic reversal where there are any remarks explicitly focused on the defendant's silence and the inference of guilt to be drawn from it" regardless of the strength of the prosecution's case, and too narrow, because it fails to prevent the natural prejudice against the nontestifying defendant that may arise in the minds of the jurors without any encouragement from prosecutor or judge. Ayer also …
Reflections On The Exclusionary Zoning Of American Nature, A.E. Keir Nash
Reflections On The Exclusionary Zoning Of American Nature, A.E. Keir Nash
Michigan Law Review
Joseph Sax's Mountains Without Handrails: Reflections on the National Parks deserves more serious scrutiny than does the typical pro-wilderness treatise about the optimum future of our nation's public lands. That is because beneath its elegant form lies a unique argument. Sax's stated central aim is to test the core "preservationist" position concerning nonbusiness use of public lands to determine whether it is a position that Congress, administrative agencies, and the public "should be inclined to follow" (p. 3). The question is, given the "enormous growth of recreation in recent years" (p. 2), whether the national parks, forests, and deserts should …
Set-Offs Against Back Pay Awards Under The Federal Age Discrimination In Employment Act, Michigan Law Review
Set-Offs Against Back Pay Awards Under The Federal Age Discrimination In Employment Act, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note proposes a theory to govern set-offs against ADEA damage awards that best effectuates congressional ~tent. It suggests that courts should set off those types of benefits received after a violation that, had they been lost because of a violation, would have been included in the damage award. Part I identifies the proper measure of damages under the ADEA as the net loss of 'job-related benefits," doubled in cases of willful violation. It explains first that job-related benefits should be broadly defined to include unemployment compensation and social security benefits as well as wages, and second that the congressional …

Implying A Cause Of Action Under Section 503 Of The Rehabilitation Act Of 1973, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note urges courts to recognize a private right of action under section 503. Part I reviews all the evidence of legislative intent available today. It concludes that by now the congressional desire for a private right of action has become abundantly clear. Part II examines the more difficult issue of when that congressional desire crystallized into law. It finds ample reliable evidence that a private right of action has existed since Congress first passed section 503 in 1973.

Union Representation Elections: Law And Reality: The Authors Respond To The Critics, Stephen B. Goldberg, Julius G. Getman, Jeanne G. Getman
Michigan Law Review
The response to the study in the academic journals was extensive, particularly in light of its multidisciplinary nature, which could be seen as calling for reviewers capable of assessing not only the labor law recommendations, but also the data collection methodology and the statistical analysis. One law review dealt with the multidisciplinary nature of the study by inviting a psychologist and a law teacher to write a joint review, and another law review published separate reviews by a lawyer, a professor of labor law, a labor economist, a professor of industrial relations, and a labor reporter and editor. Most legal …

Truth And Interpretation In Legal History, G. Edward White
Truth And Interpretation In Legal History, G. Edward White
Michigan Law Review
The essay consists of four sections. Section I discusses the nature of historical explanation, devoting some attention to the roles of "truth," interpretation, and detachment in historical scholarship. Section II continues that discussion by exploring the meaning and the purpose of what I call "interpretive detachment" in the writing of history. Section III considers the theoretical assumptions of Marxist legal historians from the point of view developed in preceding sections. Section IV, taking into account some issues that remain problematic or troublesome, restates my approach.

"No Soul To Damn: No Body To Kick": An Unscandalized Inquiry Into The Problem Of Corporate Punishment, John C. Coffee Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Because this Article's arguments are interwoven, a preliminary roadmap seems advisable. First, Section I will examine three perspectives on corporate punishment and will develop several concepts in terms of which corporate penalties should be evaluated. Although this analysis will suggest several barriers to effective corporate deterrence, Section II will explain why a sensible approach to corporate misbehavior still must punish the firm as well as the individual decision- maker. Section III will then evaluate three proposed approaches: (1) the "equity fine,'' (2) the use of adverse publicity, and (3) the fuller integration of public and private enforcement. In addition, it …
Corporate Governance--A Moving Target, Robert L. Knauss
Corporate Governance--A Moving Target, Robert L. Knauss
Michigan Law Review
This Essay elaborates on Professor Conard's sensible suggestion with the hope that others will take it to heart. First, the Essay discusses the unique governance problems raised by what I call quasipublicly traded corporations. These smaller corporations, whose shares are not actively traded, have been largely neglected in most discussions of corporate governance. The neglect is ironic since most state corporation statutes were originally designed with the quasipublicly traded corporation in mind. Second, the Essay turns to a problem of corporate governance common to all corporations - the proper role of directors - and shows that appropriate standards may vary …
