Experience Of Stigmatization And Discrimination Of Former Psychiatric Inpatients, Amy Rappaport
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
In our culture as well as other cultures, there are social norms that are prescribed and expected to be followed. If an individual does not act in accordance with these social norms, there are often consequences. In Edgerton's (1971) article, "Anthropology, Psychiatry, and Man's Nature," he states, "Sometimes, of course, the sanctions against deviant behavior are supernatural, consisting of immediate and horrible punishment by gods, spirits, ancestors or the like" (p. 45). In present day culture in the United States, the researcher contends that there are both traditional and modern belief systems that serve to ostracize the stigmatized deviant.

Beyond Public Choice And Public Interest: A Study Of The Legislative Process As Illustrated By Tax Legislation In The 1980s, Daniel N. Shaviro
Beyond Public Choice And Public Interest: A Study Of The Legislative Process As Illustrated By Tax Legislation In The 1980s, Daniel N. Shaviro
Faculty Articles
Even more peculiar than the rapid pace of 1980s tax legislation was the wildly erratic and cyclical nature of tax policy. In this country, tax policy tends to take either of two forms. First, under what I call an "instrumentalist" approach, tax law ostensibly serves social and economic policy goals (for example, increasing productivity, home ownership, or competitiveness) by providing preferential treatment for selected types of income. This approach is characterized not so much by a fixed agenda as by a willingness to use the tax system to pursue a broad array of goals. Second, the approach that in the …
Risk, Courts, And Agencies, Clayton P. Gillette, James E. Krier
Risk, Courts, And Agencies, Clayton P. Gillette, James E. Krier
Faculty Articles
The public-private distinction is hardly perfect (consider the pollution pouring into the atmosphere from thousands of automobiles, or from thousands of wood stoves), but it is useful enough, especially for purposes of illuminating a currently important controversy that centers on the idea of cost minimization in the risk context. Public risks are precisely the risks that have recently captured the attention of the legal community and the world at large, in no small part because they give rise to such novel problems for lawyers and such grave apprehensions among lay people. Public risks have moved the legal system to relax …
A Framework For Analyzing Legal Policy Towards Proxy Contests, Lucian Arye Bebchuk, Marcel Kahan
A Framework For Analyzing Legal Policy Towards Proxy Contests, Lucian Arye Bebchuk, Marcel Kahan
Faculty Articles
In this Article, the authors develop a framework for analyzing the desirable legal policy towards proxy contests and apply this framework to assess the rules governing the allocation of costs in proxy contests. The authors' normative standard is the maximization of social wealth. Proxy rules affect social wealth in three ways: they influence who will engage in proxy contests, they have an impact on who wins proxy contests, and they affect ex ante managerial behavior. Taking these effects into account, the authors examine how the three main dimensions of choice in the design of proxy rules--success contingency, neutrality, and the …
Specialized Adjudication, Rochelle C. Dreyfuss
Specialized Adjudication, Rochelle C. Dreyfuss
Faculty Articles
It has been suggested that Congress should alleviate the federal court docket crisis by establishing a series of specialized courts with limited jurisdiction over particular areas. Specialization courts, in theory, enable the judiciary to meet the US' adjudication needs effectively and may even produce benefits of its own. However, the specialized court proposal is not without its problems. Since the jurisdiction of the court must be narrow and defined with precision, the judges would get a parochial view of the legal landscape that could lead to distorted decision making. Problems can be minimized through the choice of specialty fields and …
The Value Of Life, Lewis A. Kornhauser
The Value Of Life, Lewis A. Kornhauser
Faculty Articles
This comment asks, in the context of cost-benefit analysis, what consistency requires. How much variation, if any, in valuation of life is justifiable? Inevitably, questions concerning the moral foundations of economic valuations of life will arise. Section 1 presents some evidence of variation among agency and academic valuations of life. It also outlines three different approaches to evaluation of health and safety projects. The variation detailed at the outset of section 1 is among aggregate, preference-based values of life. The subsequent discussion argues for the following claims. First, the most justifiable, "economic" approach to the evaluation of health and safety …
Madison's Nightmare, Richard B. Stewart
Madison's Nightmare, Richard B. Stewart
Faculty Articles
Madison identified the problem of factional domination in territorially limited government. The growth of the national regulatory welfare state, however, has spawned a new form of factional domination. By an irony of inversion, Madison's centralizing solution to the problem of faction has produced Madison's Nightmare: a faction-ridden maze of fragmented and often irresponsible micropolitics within the government. The post-New Deal constitutional jurisprudence of majoritarian politics has helped produce this result, because the demands for national regulatory and spending programs have outstripped the capacity of the national legislative process to make decisions that are accountable and politically responsive to the general …
The Independence Of Judges: The Uses And Limitations Of Public Choice Theory, Richard A. Epstein
The Independence Of Judges: The Uses And Limitations Of Public Choice Theory, Richard A. Epstein
Faculty Articles
How do judges behave in deciding cases? The question seems to be peculiarly immune to the ordinary techniques of social science analysis. While public choice theory in particular has achieved important breakthroughs in understanding legislative behavior, it has not achieved similar successes in dealing with judicial behavior. Yet, in an odd sense, its inability to provide us with strong predictions as to how judges behave should be regarded as a backhand confirmation of the theory, and not as its refutation. Given the set of institutional constraints under which judges routinely labor, the basic assumption of public choice theory-that self interest …
The Paradox Of Civil Rights, Richard A. Epstein
The Paradox Of Civil Rights, Richard A. Epstein
Faculty Articles
There is a curious duality in the status of civil rights in the United States: massive political support for antidiscrimination legislation but little economic evidence to show how or why it does any good.
The Uneasy Case Against Intracircuit Nonacquiescence: A Reply, Samuel Estreicher, Richard L. Revesz
The Uneasy Case Against Intracircuit Nonacquiescence: A Reply, Samuel Estreicher, Richard L. Revesz
Faculty Articles
In their Comment on our article, two of the lead counsel representing the plaintiff class in the pending Stieberger v. Sullivan litigation against the Social Security Administration (SSA) articulate the view that intracircuit nonacquiescence is per se unlawful and may be routinely subject to court injunctions regardless of the reasonableness of the agency's litigation position or the extent of disagreement among the courts of appeals over the merits of its substantive policy. The commentators' argument rests on two premises that are fundamentally inconsistent with central features of our Federal legal system. Their conception of the regional courts of appeals as …
Reconsidering Efficient Tort Rules For Personal Injury: The Case Of Single Activity Accidents, Jennifer H. Arlen
Reconsidering Efficient Tort Rules For Personal Injury: The Case Of Single Activity Accidents, Jennifer H. Arlen
Faculty Articles
Despite the expenditure of considerable effort, scholars have been unable to develop tort rules to govern serious physical injuries to strangers that satisfy the Pareto criterion without resorting to theoretical devices that appear unrealistic even in the rarefied atmosphere of economic models. An analysis of single activity accidents demonstrates that expanding the economic model of accident law to reflect the reciprocal nature of the risks that the participants in such activities impose on each other enables the design of tort rules for the resulting physical injuries that satisfy the Pareto criterion without resort to unrealistic theoretical devices. Because most tortious …
Public Policy Limits On Tax Benefits: Bob Jones Revisited, Harvey P. Dale
Public Policy Limits On Tax Benefits: Bob Jones Revisited, Harvey P. Dale
Faculty Articles
In Bob Jones University v. United States, the Supreme Court denied charitable tax-exempt status to schools which discriminated against blacks. The majority opinion, by Chief Justice Burger, uses a simple syllogism. As its first premise, it interprets I.R.C § 501(c)(3) as resting on "certain common law standards of charity - namely, that an institution seeking tax-exempt status must serve a public purpose and not be contrary to established public policy." As its second premise, it finds that "racial discrimination in education violates a most fundamental national public policy .... " From these premises, it concludes that the institutions in question …
Post-Modern Art And The Death Of Obscenity Law, Amy M. Adler
Post-Modern Art And The Death Of Obscenity Law, Amy M. Adler
Faculty Articles
In 1973, in Miller v. California,' the Supreme Court wrested from the "tortured history" of its obscenity doctrine the modern constitutional definition of "obscenity." Miller set forth a new test to distinguish sexually explicit art from obscenity, protecting such art only if it demonstrates "serious . . . artistic . . . value."" Yet Miller was drafted at a radical turning point in the history of art, and the new art that has arisen since Miller has rendered standards such as "serious artistic value" obsolete. This new art-Post-Modern art'-rebels against the demand that a work of art be 'serious, or …
In Praise Of Divided Government, Richard A. Epstein
In Praise Of Divided Government, Richard A. Epstein
Faculty Articles
When I think of the important periods of unified government, I think of the New Deal and of the Great Society. In my view these are fitting indictments of the principle of unified government because the legislation that they enacted has been enormously destructive and detrimental to human welfare. That is a political judgment, and an outspoken judgment, even if made by a law professor---one, I might add, whose views are likely to disqualify him permanently from any responsible position of political power in Washington. But there is something to be said for having some of us reside permanently outside …
The Supreme Court's Bifurcated Interpretation Of The Confrontation Clause, Daniel N. Shaviro
The Supreme Court's Bifurcated Interpretation Of The Confrontation Clause, Daniel N. Shaviro
Faculty Articles
The Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment provides that "[i]n all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right... to be confronted with the witnesses against him ..." Under a functional view, the clause prevents prosecutorial misconduct and increases the reliability of guilty verdicts by requiring that certain evidence be subject to in-court challenge before it can serve as the basis for a conviction. Under a formalistic view, the clause merely creates specific rules of the game for criminal trials - rules that are constitutionally mandated without regard to any policy. Many people prefer a functional view; others, a formalistic …
Specialized Courts And The Administrative Lawmaking System, Richard L. Revesz
Specialized Courts And The Administrative Lawmaking System, Richard L. Revesz
Faculty Articles
The central purpose of this Article is to analyze the desirability of vesting the review of administrative action in specialized courts, and to assess the relative merits of different types of specialized courts. Part I presents the central arguments raised in favor of specialized courts. Part II discusses the varieties of specialized courts (courts currently in place, courts that once existed and were subsequently abolished, and various proposals), and sets forth a method by which to categorize such courts. In general, the academic literature has not paid proper attention to the different structures of specialized courts. As a result of …
