A Holistic Vision Of The Socio-Legal Terrain, Brian Z. Tamanaha Apr 2008

A Holistic Vision Of The Socio-Legal Terrain, Brian Z. Tamanaha

Law and Contemporary Problems

Tamanaha discusses Marc Galanter's holistic vision of the socio-legal terrain. Galanter's socio-legal vision has two central overlapping foci, and he always keeps an eye on each and on their interaction. The first focus is the official state legal system, which he examines from every conceivable angle: who becomes lawyers, how are they trained, how many lawyers are there, what are the circumstances of their work environment, who pays for their services. Galanter also focuses on what they are not doing (intentionally or otherwise), inquiring into the implications and consequences of their inaction. These inquiries extend from the official legal system …

Jail Strip-Search Cases: Patterns And Participants, Margo Schlanger Apr 2008

Jail Strip-Search Cases: Patterns And Participants, Margo Schlanger

Law and Contemporary Problems

Schlanger talks about jail strip-search cases and its participants. Among the interesting features of these cases is that many different kinds of lawyers work on them. Plaintiffs' lawyers include employees of public-interest organizations; large law firm lawyers, often working pro bono, with a cooperating relationship with such a public-interest organization; lawyers with a private prisoners' rights or police-misconduct practice; and lawyers with a more varied or general class-action practice. This is somewhat unusual; the litigation bar has, by all accounts, grown increasingly specialized over the past several generations.


The Study Of Law And India’S Society: The Galanter Factor, Robert Moog Apr 2008

The Study Of Law And India’S Society: The Galanter Factor, Robert Moog

Law and Contemporary Problems

Moog pursues three related themes or lines of inquiry that have marked her own research, the roots of which are to be found in Marc Galanter's earlier works and the broader law-and-society movement. These include, the significance of lower courts, the role of the local bar, and the evolution of alternatives to formal court proceedings all represent essential areas for exploration in the attempt to understand the successes and failures of the Indian justice system.

Teaching Ip From An Entrepreneurial Counseling And Transactional Perspective, Sean M. O'Connor

Articles

The traditional law school appellate case method is not well-suited to teaching students either the substance and process of counseling entrepreneurial clients or helping such clients create IP strategies that effectively advance their business vision. This Article describes the author’s creation of new courses and clinics to advance teaching IP in the emerging field of entrepreneurship and innovation law


Is It Wrong To Sue For Rape?, Tom Lininger Apr 2008

Is It Wrong To Sue For Rape?, Tom Lininger

Duke Law Journal

The title of this Article poses a rhetorical question. Of course it is not improper to site a rapist. The act of rape qualifies as a tort in all fifty states. Rape causes egregious injuries, both physical and psychological. The Supreme Court regards rape as the ultimate violation of personal autonomy. Other than homicide, no act is more plainly tortious. Yet the criminal justice system is surprisingly hostile to civil suits by rape survivors. Judges in criminal cases virtually always allow impeachment of accusers with evidence of civil suits against the alleged assailants or third parties. This Article surveys every …


The Next Stage Of Devolution? A (D)Evolving Criminal Justice System For Wales, Jackie Jones Apr 2008

The Next Stage Of Devolution? A (D)Evolving Criminal Justice System For Wales, Jackie Jones

SOLON Law, Crime and History (previously SOLON Crimes and Misdemeanours: Deviance and the Law in Historical Perspective)

The coalition government in Wales has committed itself to seriously consider devolving the criminal justice system for Wales. It is seen as the next possible step in the devolution process. To some extent many of the structures for a devolved criminal justice system are already being put in place to support devolved policy making and provision of criminal justice services in Wales. However, the One Wales agreement proposes to place the most emphasis on a devolved criminal justice system on youth justice and the prevention of reoffending. This is problematic in a number of ways explored in the paper, not …

(Presidential) Powers In The European Union, Daniela Caruso Apr 2008

(Presidential) Powers In The European Union, Daniela Caruso

Faculty Scholarship

Presidential Powers and Functional Equivalence The comparative methodology embraced by Jenny Martinez, the first speaker on this panel, is functionalism - a traditional tool for comparative inquiries.' Functionalism starts from the pragmatic assumption that societies sharing similar values will perform identical tasks even if by means of different rules. Functionalism posits the possibility of comparing the relative success of such rules, and hence borrowing useful insights from analogous foreign experiences.2 Accordingly, Professor Martinez has identified functional common ground in various legal systems, analyzed the scope and substance of presidential powers in several European States, and skillfully compared the status of …

Faculty Scholarship

The plaintiffs in this case met their burden of demonstrating the irrationality of Iowa’s statutory exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage. They did this, in part, by presenting social science research regarding the irrelevance of sexual orientation to parental ability and the psychological and social well-being of children raised by same-sex parents. In addition to arguing that the marriage exclusion is irrational, the plaintiffs also alleged that the exclusion should be subject to heightened scrutiny because it violates the fundamental right to marry and discriminates on the bases of gender and sexual orientation. Amici agree that the exclusion of same-sex …

Legal Ethics, Pain, And Suffering, N. Gregory Smith Mar 2008

Legal Ethics, Pain, And Suffering, N. Gregory Smith

Annual Institute on Mineral Law

The lessons that come to us from the application of legal ethics rules can be instrucive, but they often involve a considerable measure of pain and suffering. If presentations like this have any value, perhaps that value could be found in change. The hope would be that, after some exposure to the stories and other matters included in the presentation, a lawyer might thereafter do something that is more consistent with the standards of the profession than he or she might otherwise have done.
