The New Jersey Constitution: Positive Rights, Common Law Entitlements, And State Action, Helen Hershkoff Jan 2006

The New Jersey Constitution: Positive Rights, Common Law Entitlements, And State Action, Helen Hershkoff

Faculty Articles

During the last half of the twentieth century, the New Jersey Supreme Court built an impressive reputation for its “intellectually rigorous and forcefully progressive” interpretations of state constitutional law. The court’s status as a jurisprudential entrepreneur rests, in part, on decisions that involve social and economic life—most notably, its enforcement of the positive right to an adequate education. However, the court’s commitment to material well-being has not stopped at the border of state action. In contrast to federal doctrine, the New Jersey Supreme Court has shown a willingness to reconfigure contract and property rights in light of public policies that …

The Sun Also Rises: The Political Economy Of Sunset Provisions In The Tax Code, Rebecca M. Kysar Jan 2006

The Sun Also Rises: The Political Economy Of Sunset Provisions In The Tax Code, Rebecca M. Kysar

Georgia Law Review

This Article provides an overview and critical analysis of sunset provisions in the tax code and, through examination of the political pressures that led to their striking transformation, also reveals disturbing points of vulnerability in the legislative process. It concludes that, contrary to one of the primary justifications for the enactment of sunset provisions-that these provisions reduce the influence exerted on lawmakers by interest groups-sunsets may instead further politicize the legislative process and, due to their mechanics, increase the likelihood of inefficient social outcomes. The history of sunset provisions in tax legislation also illuminates the complex, multidirectional,and often dramatic interaction …

The South African Judicial Appointments Process, Penelope Andrews Jan 2006

The South African Judicial Appointments Process, Penelope Andrews

Articles & Chapters

Consideration of racial and gender diversity, and to a lesser extent disability and sexual orientation diversity, has propelled the transformation of the judiciary in South Africa. This consideration is underpinned by both the stated and unstated assumption that a majority white judiciary cannot adequately and fairly serve and deliver justice to a majority black population. The very legitimacy of the judiciary, and indeed the project of constitutional democracy, is contingent on a bench that reflects the racial and gender diversity of the society. Moreover, with equality as the primary principle in the "Bill of Rights," the judiciary has to accommodate …


Convicting The Innocent: Aberration Or Systemic Problem?, Rodney J. Uphoff Jan 2006

Convicting The Innocent: Aberration Or Systemic Problem?, Rodney J. Uphoff

Faculty Publications

In practice, the right to adequate defense counsel in the United States is disturbingly unequal. Only some American criminal defendants actually receive the effective assistance of counsel. Although some indigent defendants are afforded zealous, effective representation, many indigent defendants and almost all of the working poor are not. The quality of representation a defendant receives generally is a product of fortuity, of economic status, and of the jurisdiction in which he or she is charged. For many defendants, the assistance of counsel means little more than counsel's help in facilitating a guilty plea. With luck, money, and location primarily determining …

Principle And Imagination In Judging: A Conversation With Mr. Justice James Macpherson, Peter Dostal, Jessica Gin-Jade Chan Jan 2006

Principle And Imagination In Judging: A Conversation With Mr. Justice James Macpherson, Peter Dostal, Jessica Gin-Jade Chan

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

In the fall of 2005, Mr. Justice James MacPherson of the Ontario Court of Appeal began his visiting term at the Dalhousie University Faculty of Law. During his visit, Justice MacPherson spoke with two students about several issues that have engaged him during his career as a lawyer, academic and judge. The conversation raised a number of questions about Canada’s changing legal landscape, and how the judiciary has attempted to balance the role of legal principle and judicial imagination in law-making. How, for example, has the public’s sceptical perception of our evolving justice system subjected judges to a higher degree …


Life In The Early Days Of Lawyer Advertising: Personal Recollections Of A Bates Baby, Gerald S. Reamey Jan 2006

Life In The Early Days Of Lawyer Advertising: Personal Recollections Of A Bates Baby, Gerald S. Reamey

Faculty Articles

The Supreme Court decision in Bates v. State Bar of Arizona ruled that lawyer advertising is commercial speech subject to First Amendment protection. However, a Texas disciplinary statute provided that “a lawyer shall not publicize himself, his partner, or associate…through newspaper or magazine advertisements, radio or television announcements…or other means of commercial publicity.” Despite being clearly unconstitutional, the Texas statute remained law for five years. Finally, responding to Bates in September 1977, the Texas State Bar Board of Directors adopted an official statement which allowed for limited advertising in newspapers, and only to the extent which was provided for by …

Why People Who Face Losing Their Homes In Legal Proceedings Must Have A Right To Counsel, Andrew Scherer Jan 2006

Why People Who Face Losing Their Homes In Legal Proceedings Must Have A Right To Counsel, Andrew Scherer

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article advocates for the establishment of a right to counsel for individuals facing eviction in New York City's Housing Court, arguing that such a right is essential for fair legal proceedings, aligns with constitutional principles of due process and equal protection, and is cost-effective in preventing homelessness and reducing societal costs. The author emphasizes that the current system disproportionately disadvantages low-income tenants, who often lack legal representation, and draws on international precedents where such rights are recognized.
