Money Talk: Against Constitutionalizing (Commercial) Speech, Allan C. Hutchinson

Articles & Book Chapters

As seems fitting, the debate over free speech is one of the most heated and intense on the academic and political agenda. The topical problems of pornography, hate literature, election campaign financing and freedom of information attest not only to the importance of these exchanges, but also to the confusion and indirection of the different contributions. Like moths drawn to the light, legal theorists have been irresistibly attracted to the bright beacon of free speech, the literature on the American First Amendment is truly enormous. The challenge and ambition is as worthy as it is important - to ensure democracy's …

Book Review: "Dancing In The Dark": A Review Of Gwen Brodsky And Shelagh Day's Canadian Charter Equality Rights For Women: One Step Forward Or Two Steps Back?, Brenda Cossman

Articles & Book Chapters

The following article argues that while Brodsky and Day's study of the first three years of equality litigation under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is an important contribution in revealing the extent to which equality rights have been used by men rather than women and other disadvantaged groups, it fails to adequately interrogate the role of rights discourse in feminist struggles for social change. After reviewing the debates regarding rights discourse, the article argues that feminist litigation strategies must be informed by a more complicated understanding of the role of rights, and must be made accountable to the broader …

Conflict Of Laws - Foreign Tort - Not Justifiable By The Lex Loci Delicti - Residence Of Defendant - Interprovincial Comity - Judicial Creativity, Jean-Gabriel Castel

Articles & Book Chapters

The conflict of laws rule applicable in foreign tons contains two conditions. First, the wrong must be actionable under the law of the forum. Second, the wrong must not be justifiable by the law of the place where the tort occurred. Professor Castel welcomes a recent decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal further refining the second condition of the rule. However, he argues that the decision of the Court of Appeal is actually a disguised attempt to adopt the doctrine of the proper law of the tort dependent upon establishing which jurisdiction has the most significant relationship with the …

The Use Of Anti-Suit Injunctions In International Litigation, George A. Bermann

Faculty Scholarship

Of the various forms of provisional relief in the context of inter-national litigation, none has sparked as much interest and controversy as the international anti-suit injunction. In many ways the international anti-suit injunction, an instrument by which a court of one jurisdiction seeks to restrain the conduct of litigation in another jurisdiction, resembles more conventional forms of international provisional relief such as the foreign attachment or preliminary injunction. Like them, the anti-suit injunction affords courts an important opportunity to affect the course and significance of litigation abroad. However, such intervention strongly implies – and often actually creates – jurisdictional conflict …

Duplicative Litigation: Issue Estoppel, Abuse Of Process And The Death Of Mutuality, Garry D. Watson

Articles & Book Chapters

The traditional requirement of Anglo-Canadian law, that issue estoppel applies only as betwen those who were parties to both the earlier and subsequent litigation, is fast disappearing. However, the disappearance of this requirement of mutuality is presently confused by the courts' invocation of the rubric of 'abuse of process', rather than a straight abandonment of the requirement of mutuality. This article describes the abandonment of mutuality in American law and the emergence of the doctrine of non-mutual issue estoppel, and critically examines the movements in Canadian and English law in the same direction. While advocating that Anglo-Canadian courts openly adopt …

Aversion To Risk Aversion In The New Institutional Economics, Victor P. Goldberg

Faculty Scholarship

One significant division that emerged during the conference involved the role of risk aversion in analyzing institutional arrangements. I, along with Oliver Williamson, took the position that the risk aversion assumption deflects attention from the more significant determinants and that more progress would be made if we could bind our hands and agree to invoke attitudes toward risk only as a last resort. Professor Richter has graciously given me this opportunity to elaborate upon this theme.

Social Anxiety And The Recall Of Interpersonal Information, Debra A. Hope, Richard G. Heimberg, John F. Klein

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

Sixty subjects classified as high or low in social anxiety participated in a structured heterosocial interaction under conditions of either high or low social-evaluative threat. Following the interaction, subjects were asked to recall detailed information about the interaction partner’s appearance and the content of the conversation. Socially anxious subjects recalled less information and made more errors in recall than nonanxious subjects. Contrary to prediction, social-evaluative threat did not affect recall. Anxious subjects also reported greater self-focused attention during the interaction. High self-focused attention was associated with superior recall for nonanxious subjects but associated with more frequent omission errors for anxious …

Unauthorized Legal Practice Prosecutions And Independent Paralegals In Ontario And The United States, John A. Flood, Frederick H. Zemans

Articles & Book Chapters

The issue of unauthorized legal practice involves questions of professionalism and market protection. The legal profession, like other professions, is seen a being particularly successful at excluding others from its area of jurisdiction. Disputes over jurisdiction occur at the edge of this jurisdiction, specifically when certain condition arise. The e conditions are characterized by the "indetermination/ technicality (I/T) ratio", where "I" represents the ideological underpinning of the profession and "T" represents the technical knowledge. "If either the knowledge base or the ideological underpinning deteriorates, the occupation will lose control over its spheres of activity....For an occupation or a profession to …

Sunstein's New Canons: Choosing The Fictions Of Statutory Interpretation Exchange, Eben Moglen, Richard J. Pierce Jr.

Faculty Scholarship

In Interpreting Statutes in the Regulatory State, Cass Sunstein grapples with two of the most difficult and important questions concerning governance of the modern administrative state. First, what institution should have the dominant role in interpreting ambiguous agency-administered statutes? And second, how should the institution perform that task? Sunstein rejects the Supreme Court's answer to the first question, characterizing its assignment of a dominant interpretive role to agencies in Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v Natural Resources Defense Council as "the fox guarding the hen house." Sunstein prefers to charge judges with the responsibility of resolving most interpretive disputes. In answer to …

Insults And Epithets: Are They Protected Speech?, Kent Greenawalt

Faculty Scholarship

It is a privilege to offer a lecture in this series named for Edward J. Bloustein. Not many lecture series honor sitting university presidents who deliver the first lecture in the series; but President Bloustein is the very rare president whose long tenure in office has been accompanied by continuing academic productivity. That achievement is remarkable.

When I tentatively chose this topic a year ago, I knew it involved the application of philosophical insights to serious practical questions, the kind of work that President Bloustein has done so well. I also knew that the search for those aspects of human …

Federal Jurisdiction, Ronald J. Mann

Faculty Scholarship

One important task of the federal judiciary is to resolve cases presenting tensions between national and state governments. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit justly is renowned for its work in this area. One major, if not sensational, arena in which these tensions surface is in cases presenting issues of federal jurisdiction, pursuant to which federal courts allocate power between the national and state judicial systems.

During the survey period the Fifth Circuit published almost one hundred opinions dealing with substantive issues of federal jurisdiction. Like others before me, I have not undertaken in this essay …

Linda Implementations Using Monitors And Message Passing, Alan L. Leveton

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Linda is a new parallel programming language that is built around an interprocess communication model called generative communication that differs from previous models in specifying that shared data be added in tuple form to an environment called tuple space, where a tuple exists independently until some process chooses to use it. Interesting properties arise from the model, including space and time uncoupling as well as structured naming. We delineate the essential Linda operations, then discuss the properties of generative communication. We are particularly concerned with implementing Linda on top of two traditional parallel programming paradigms - process communication through globally …

The Tolerant Society: A Response To Critics, Lee C. Bollinger

Faculty Scholarship

In writing The Tolerant Society I was, and yet remain, interested in the treatment of speech behavior in this country, a treatment notably more liberal than in other Western democracies. Liberality, however, is not its only surprising or distinguishing hallmark; so too is how the world is characterized under the free speech concept.

For some time, even after I began teaching in the first amendment area, the scope and nature of protection afforded speech seemed to me obviously right. But the more I thought about it, the more it seemed to me quite extraordinary. Existing free speech theory provided less …

Use Of Energy In Data-Track Association And State Estimation In Multitarget-Multisensor Problems, S. N. Balakrishnan, H. Park

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A coarse test and a fine test have been formulated for use in multiple sensor-multiple target data-track association. Various forms of energies are used in these tests to pick the proper data to be associated with any target. Numerical experiments which involve the use of a decentralized Kalman filter scheme are presented. The experiments show the effectiveness of the two tests
