The Paradox Of Punishment, Paul Campos

Publications

Retribution demands reciprocity. In this Essay, Professor Campos contends that classic retributive theory encounters a logical paradox when it attempts to equalize the status of criminal and victim through the institution of punishment. This paradox arises out of a clash between the deontological requirements of equality and justice. He concludes by speculating on the historical relationship between rationalist justifications for vengeance and the elimination of punishment as public spectacle.

A Study Of African American Women And Their Perceptions Of Life In Utah, Jennifer Caye Demayo

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine, through the use of the ethnographic interview (Spradley, 1979), residential preferences, as well as the stated reasons for relocation of African American women who live in a predominantly White, Utah Mormon culture. The "push and pull" factors that impacted the women's decisions to come to and/or remain in Utah were qualitatively analyzed in some detail. The end goal of the research was to determine whether Utah was perceived as a desirable residence by and for African American women.

Residential preference is a complex issue which requires an in depth explanation. The prominent …

The Geographical Landscape Of Tabernacles In The Mormon Culture Region, Crystal Wride Jenson

Theses and Dissertations

Although tabernacles do not hold the sacred meaning of Mormon temples, they are symbolic landmarks of the culture of the early Mormon Saints. Tabernacles were once an integral part of each community in which they were located. They were often the main buildings in the community, reflecting the coherent, orderly nature of a Mormon town. Today, many of the original tabernacles have been torn down and others are under the threat of destruction.

The first tabernacles built in the Mormon Culture Region were constructed in the 1850s. They were large meetinghouses built for the purpose of holding large general meetings. …

Civil Rights Procedural Problems, Carl W. Tobias

Law Faculty Publications

Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1991 primarily to modify numerous Supreme Court opinions of the 1988 Term that jeopardized the rights of minorities and women. Particularly striking about those Supreme Court cases was the number which involved procedural questions and process values. These included the timing of litigation, both when employment discrimination victims must commence actions and when non-parties can reopen civil rights cases resolved through consent decrees; litigant responsibility for the expense of lawsuits; and proof requirements.

Most of the procedural developments in civil rights and employment discrimination litigation of the 1988 Term, however, were only recent …

Islamic Constitutionalism And The Concept Of Democracy, Azizah Y. Al-Hibri

Law Faculty Publications

This article will discuss select, basic principles of Islamic law relating to democratic governance, pointing out in the process certain areas of disagreement surrounding them in the literature and the grounds for such disagreements. Part II of this article presents a brief overview of Islamic law in order to provide a foundation for later discussion. The article then assesses the Islamic system of government in light of two major principles of Western democracies. They are (1) the principle that the will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of the government (Principle A) and (2) the principle …

Civil Justice Reform Roadmap, Carl W. Tobias

Law Faculty Publications

All three branches of the federal government have instituted initiatives aimed at reducing expense and delay in civil litigation. On October 23, 1991, President Bush issued an Executive Order that imposes a number of requirements on government lawyers who participate in civil litigation. During February 1992, the Administration sponsored introduction of the Access to Justice Act, its legislative proposal for civil justice reform. The bill did not pass, because it included certain provisions that apparently proved unacceptable to many members of the House and Senate.

Regardless of how the controversy over civil justice reform is ultimately resolved, the reform effort …

Dispensing With Wills' Act Formalities For Substantively Valid Wills, J. Rodney Johnson

Law Faculty Publications

This article's thesis is that if it can be established by clear and convincing evidence (i) that a writing was intended to be a will, (ii) that the putative testator had the requisite capacity, and (iii) that the writing was not the product of fraud, duress or undue influence, then the writing ought to be admitted to probate as a will, even though it might fail to comply with some of the formalities contained in the statute of wills. Those who accept this thesis will agree that the present practice ofrequiring strict compliance with the formalities of the statute of …

The Political Grammar Of Early Constitutional Law, H. Jefferson Powell

Faculty Scholarship

In this Article, Professor H. Jefferson Powell discusses the United States Constitution and the historical era during which it was written and adopted. He analyzes the Constitution not as a set of rules creating and organizing the federal government, but as a document that inspired political debate and the culture out of which our notions and understandings of constitutionalism grew. Professor Powell asserts that the "creation of a shared political and legal language" is perhaps one of the greatest achievements of founding-era Americans. Because deep political disagreement existed at the time, Professor Powell suggests that when we look to the …

The Actual Validity Of Law, Mortimer N.S. Sellers

All Faculty Scholarship

When, and in what sense, are laws ever "valid"? I shall argue that the validity of a law always depends on the law's moral justification. To see why, one must first disentangle three senses of the word "valid." I will distinguish "actual validity" from "legal validity," and use "valid" (without an adjective) only of the former-those laws one actually ought to obey. "Legally valid" laws are laws a particular legal system claims we ought to obey, and "morally valid" laws are laws one could morally justify making legally valid.

The distinction between moral, legal and actual validity explains two well-known …

A Theory Of Law And Information: Copyright, Spleens, Blackmail, And Insider Trading, James Boyle

Faculty Scholarship

In this Article, Professor Boyle undertakes an analysis of the law's treatment of information across four apparently disparate realms: copyright, genetic information, blackmail, and insider trading. He argues that questions of information regulation, commodification, and access are shaped by two neglected processes of interpretive construction. First, such issues are often decided by pigeonholing them into implicitly contradictory stereotypes of "public" or "private" information. These conflicting stereotypes have their roots in basic assumptions about politics, the market, and privacy in a liberal state. Second, Professor Boyle argues that tension between these stereotypes is often apparently resolved by the use of a …

Sensing The Constitution In ‘Feist’, David L. Lange

Faculty Scholarship

The United States Supreme Court's decision in 'Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Telephone Service Co.' has invited analysis along many lines of inquiry. In most instances, the practitioners and scholars who have considered the case have brought to their work an admirable pragmatism and focus for which one can be grateful. Taking a non-pragmatic approach Professor Lange asks, Is Feist just another in a long series of false starts, missed opportunities, and wrong turns on the road to constitutional harmonization in the field of intellectual property in America? Or is it possible that what makes Feist worthy of the close …

Emerging Conflicts Over Intellectual Property In Recent Gatt Negotiations, Sonia Baldia

LLM Theses and Essays

This thesis describes the "intellectual property problem" and how it came to be a focus of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. It addresses the concerns of the developed and the developing world regarding a reform in their intellectual protection regimes. One of the results of this thesis is that reforms that do not stem from developing countries' perceptions of their own interests and needs, and that are not articulated in keeping with broader economic and technological policies, are unlikely to result in stable and predictable rules or to be properly enforced.
