My Reconstructed Life, Eugen Schoenfeld

KSU Press Legacy Project

Memories tell us that we are bound by a golden chain with those who preceded us and those who come after us. We gain strength from memories.

I remember in 1944 traveling for two days in a freight car with padlocked doors and windows covered with barbed wire. No one in the car knew our destination. Now and then we glimpsed a name of a city where the train was shunted to sidings waiting for a clear track. Now and then voices of prayers could be heard. About sunset on the third day, my mother opened a package containing bread …

The Expressive Power Of Adjudication, Richard H. Mcadams

Articles

This article provides a causal explanation of adjudicative compliance that is distinct from both the court's threat of sanctions and its institutional legitimacy. The new mechanism for compliance is the power of adjudicative expression. The theory of "expressive adjudication" arises from a previously neglected synergy among three expressive concepts in game theory -correlated equilibria, focal points, and signals. The article identifies the circumstances in which adjudicative expression can, by itself, influence the behavior of existing disputants and of future potential disputants. In each case, ambiguity in the relevant facts or the concepts underlying intentional and spontaneous order can cause a …

Foucault And Habermas, David Ingram

Philosophy: Faculty Publications and Other Works

The article is a comprehensive comparison of Foucault and Habermas which focuses on their distinctive styles of critical theory. The article maintains that Foucault's virtue ethical understanding of aesthetic self-realization as a form of resistance to normalizing practices provides counterpoint to Habermas's more juridical approach to institutional justice and the critique of ideology. The article contains an extensive discussion of their respective treatments of speech action, both strategic and communicative, and concludes by addressing Foucault's understanding of parrhesia as a non-discursive form of truth-telling.

Validation Through Other Means: How Immigration Clinics Can Give Immigrants A Voice When Bureaucracy Has Left Them Speechless, Evelyn H. Cruz

St. Thomas Law Review

To better frame this discussion, I will first describe the immigration process and its anti-therapeutic effects on immigrants in some detail. I will then proceed to discuss the use of community presentations and contextual representation practices to preserve a client's voice and validation in the immigration process. Throughout this article, and more specifically in my conclusion, I will examine how students who understand the need to address "psycho-legal soft spots" naturally gravitate to client-centered representation, thereby becoming empathetic and competent practitioners.

Must We Bankrupt The Spirit Also: The Benefits Of Incorporating Therapeutic Jurisprudence Into Law School Bankruptcy Assistance Programs, Michael L. Stines

St. Thomas Law Review

This paper will examine the psychological effects associated with filing for consumer bankruptcy and techniques that can be learned by law students and young lawyers to help soften the blow for those who will inevitably experience those effects. First, the progression of bankruptcy will be discussed, tracking changes from its origins to modem times and the effect those changes may have had on those attempting to take advantage of the system's benefits. Second, the actual process of filing for bankruptcy will be examined, pointing out the aspects that cause damage to an individual's mental health. Third, this paper will analyze …

English As A Second Language - Or Why Lawyers Can't Write, H P. Southerland

St. Thomas Law Review

For more than thirty years I've spent a lot of time reading bad writing. By bad writing, I mean writing that fails of its essential purpose-so flawed in concept or execution that it can hardly inform, much less persuade. The writing is the sort that lawyers are routinely expected to produce: briefs, judicial opinions, essays dealing with law-related subjects, and the like. What I see, for the most part, is the writing of second- and third-year law students, the vast majority of whom graduate and enter upon a lifetime career as lawyers.' They take with them for tomorrow the writing …

Gay And Lesbian Adoption: Banishing The Pied Piper, Amy D. Ronner

St. Thomas Law Review

In my recent book, Homophobia and the Law, Robert Browning's Pied Piper, "the strangest figure" with a "queer long coat from heal to head, inducts a core chapter, the one on Children. After all, it is this notorious Pied Piper, who absconds with the town's children, leads them through a "wondrous portal" into the mountain-side cave, and renders their laughter inaudible forever. The Pied Piper has evolved into a menacing conceit that perpetuates discrimination against gay and lesbian couples. It is predicated on an irrational notion that homosexuals will, by coaxing children toward their own sexual orientation, seal them in …

The Evolution Of The Legal Concepts Of Family And Marriage In The Eu Legal System And Its Impact On Society, Jonathan Curci

St. Thomas Law Review

One particular aspect that we will examine is the emergence of new family forms in same-sex marriages. If the fundamental concepts of "marriage" are redefined, "other unions" or "family types" would be placed on par with heterosexual marriages, enjoying the same benefits the traditional family has provided over the course of humanity. This redefinition of marriage would undermine the concept of the traditional family and ignore its necessity for the benefit to mankind.

A Search For Reason In Fairy Tales, John F. Fernandez

St. Thomas Law Review

A fairy1 tale: Once upon at time (not so very long ago), in a land (not so far away) lived a beautiful queen (well, actually a "runner up ") with a golden voice. The beautiful queen reined over her people and sang of sunshine. Some of the queen's subjects had felt that they were not treated fairly by the laws of the land and sought to have their unfair treatment prohibited. Apparently, this caused the queen to develop a fear and hatred for these subjects. These subjects had done nothing to the queen. Yet, the queen made it her mission …
