Disputing Through Agents: Cooperation And Conflict Between Lawyers In Litigation, Ronald J. Gilson, Robert H. Mnookin

Faculty Scholarship

Do lawyers facilitate dispute resolution or do they instead exacerbate conflict and pose a barrier to the efficient resolution of disputes? A distinctive characteristic of our formal mechanisms of conflict resolution is that clients carry on their disputes through lawyers. Yet, at a time when the role of lawyers in dispute resolution has captured not only public but political attention, social scientists have remained largely uninterested in the influence of lawyers on the disputing process. This is not to say that academics have ignored the growth in civil litigation in the United States. Economists have developed an extensive literature that …

Commensurability And Its Constitutional Consequences, Frederick Schauer

UC Law Journal

Philosophers have been debating the question whether all values are commensurable for at least a generation. Certain legal methodologies presuppose something akin to broadbased commensurability and the frameworks of certain legal structures recognize the irreducible incommensurability of values.

Professor Schauer does not attempt here to resolve the philosophical question whether values are or are not, as on ontological matter, commensurable. Instead, first he sketches the various positions of the commensurability debate. Second, he explains the constitutional implications of holding one position or another in the debate. Third, regarding the core of the argument, Professor Schauer offers a theoretical account of …

The Evolution Of The Nuisance Exception To The Just Compensation Clause: From Myth To Reality, Scott R. Ferguson

UC Law Journal

The "nuisance exception" to the Just Compensation Clause of the Fifth Amendment provides that a government does not have to pay for diminutions in land value resulting from its efforts to suppress a nuisance. Despite widespread acceptance by commentators, the exception has never been established, and nuisance has been merely one factor among many balanced by courts evaluating land use regulations.

In Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council, the Supreme Court held that the nuisance exception was categorical. This Note examines the origin and evolution of the "nuisance exception" before Lucas. It then considers the categorization resulting from Justice Scalia's …

Mandatory Hiv Testing And Prostitution: The World's Oldest Profession And The World's Newest Deadly Disease, James Grant Snell

UC Law Journal

In the face of the AIDS crisis, state legislatures are taking steps to curtail the spread of the disease. One strategy is legislation requiring mandatory HIV testing of both convicted and arrested prostitutes. This Note explores the Fourth Amendment issues involved in mandatory testing.

This Note traces the development of the Fourth Amendment "special needs" doctrine, under which mandatory testing of convicted prostitutes has been upheld. The Note applies the Fourth Amendment analysis to mandatory testing in the case of arrested prostitutes and concludes that it is unconstitutional. The Note suggests that in order to constitutionally test prostitutes for HIV …
