Wigmore's Shadow, Annelise Riles
Wigmore's Shadow, Annelise Riles
Annelise Riles
Riles relates how John H. Wigmore, professor and Dean of the Northwestern Law School, fanned her interest in legal and literary fiction. Wigmore provided dozens of examples of legal fictions bundled together in the singular, and seemingly straightforward technical device of modern collateral. From this premise, she analyzes the difference between a legal fiction and a literary fiction, and examines the factors that make legal fiction distinctively legal.

Settlers And Immigrants In The Formation Of American Law, Aziz Rana
Settlers And Immigrants In The Formation Of American Law, Aziz Rana
Aziz Rana
This paper argues that the early American republic is best understood as a constitutional experiment in “settler empire,” and that related migration policies played a central role in shaping collective identity and structures of authority. Initial colonists, along with their 19th century descendants, viewed society as grounded in an ideal of freedom that emphasized continuous popular mobilization and direct economic and political decision-making. However, many settlers believed that this ideal required Indian dispossession and the coercive use of dependent groups, most prominently slaves, in order to ensure that they themselves had access to property and did not have to engage …

Heuristics, Biases, And Philosophy, Jeffrey J. Rachlinski
Jeffrey J. Rachlinski
Commenting on Professor Cass Sunstein's work is a daunting task. There is simply so much of it. Professor Sunstein produces scholarship at a rate that is faster than I can consume it. Scarcely an area of law has failed to feel his impact. One cannot today write an article on administrative law, free speech, punitive damages, Internet law, law and economics, separation of powers, or animal rights law without addressing one or more of Sunstein's papers. And his work is typically not a mere footnote. Sunstein has changed how scholars think about each of these areas of law. More broadly, …

The Moral Emotions Of The Criminal Law, Stephen P. Garvey
The Moral Emotions Of The Criminal Law, Stephen P. Garvey
Stephen P. Garvey
Imagine you have committed a crime. You might experience any number of emotional responses to what you've done, ranging from self-satisfaction to self-disgust. But however you do feel, how should you feel? The question seems especially appropriate for a conference honoring Professor Herbert Morris and celebrating his work, for no one has shed light more on the moral emotions of the criminal law. The line of thought that follows owes Professor Morris a large and obvious debt. So, once again, how should you feel when you have committed a criminal wrong? "Guilty" comes immediately to mind. But guilt is not …
'In The Time Of A Woman, Which Sex Was Not Capable Of Mature Deliberation': Late Tudor Parliamentary Relations And Their Early Stuart Discontents, Josh Chafetz
Josh Chafetz
The English Civil War is one of the seminal events in Anglo-American constitutional history. Oceans of ink have been spilled in debating its causes, and historians have pointed to a number of salient divisions along economic, social, political, and religious lines. But a related, and equally important, question has gone largely ignored: what allowed the House of Commons, for the first time in English history, to play the lead role in opposing the Crown? How did the lower house of Parliament develop the constitutional self-confidence that would allow it to organize the rebellion against Charles I? This Article argues that …

Piercing The Prison Uniform Of Invisibility For Black Female Inmates, Michelle S. Jacobs
Piercing The Prison Uniform Of Invisibility For Black Female Inmates, Michelle S. Jacobs
Michelle S Jacobs
In Inner Lives: Voices of African American Women In Prison, Professor Paula Johnson has written about the most invisible of incarcerated women — incarcerated African American women. The number of women incarcerated in the United States increased by seventy-five percent between 1986 and 1991. Of these women, a disproportionate number are black women. The percentages vary by region and by the nature of institution (county jail, state prison or federal facility), but the bottom line remains the same. In every instance, black women are incarcerated at rates disproportionate to their percentage in the general population. In Inner Lives, Professor Johnson …

The Front Line Of Social Capital Creation – A Natural Experiment In Symbolic Interaction, Roger Patulny, Peter Siminski, Silvia Mendolia
The Front Line Of Social Capital Creation – A Natural Experiment In Symbolic Interaction, Roger Patulny, Peter Siminski, Silvia Mendolia
Silvia Mendolia
This paper offers theoretical and empirical contributions to understanding the micro-sociological processes behind the creation of social capital. Theoretically, we argue that the emotional and shared experience of participating in symbolic interaction rituals may affect social capital in four different ways, via: (i) a 'citizenship' effect, connecting participants symbolically to the broader, civic society; (ii) a 'supportive' effect, bonding participants with each other; (iii) an exclusive 'tribal' effect, which crowds-out connections with other groups and the wider society; and (iv) an 'atomising' effect, whereby intense experiences create mental health problems that damage social capital. We illustrate this with a case …
James Madison’S Federalist No. 10 Considered In A Very Large State, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
James Madison’S Federalist No. 10 Considered In A Very Large State, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter Onuf’s essay in All Over the Map: The Origins of American Sectionalism measures the cost of diversity in constituencies: eventually geography tears a nation apart or supplies the preconditions for its destruction. James Madison’s Federalist No. 10 argues that large republics are possible, a thesis (obliquely) opposed to Onuf’s. Our Constitutional Logic investigates.

By the time that the text-writers turned to the final push to craft Constitution I they had, as resource, sixteen different proposals for a national organization representing states as constituents and twelve ratified state constitutions. By the time the federal convention opened for the business of crafting Constitution II, another five state constitutions had been adopted (with another four failed constitutions in circulation), for a grand total of seventeen constitutions on top of the previous 16 proposals, and, of course, one fully adopted and tested national form of organization, Constitution I, the Articles of Confederation.

Table Annexed To Article: A Survey Of The Federal Convention's Note-Takers, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Eleven of the fifty-five delegates that attended the Federal Convention took notes during the proceedings. These notes, along with Jackson’s official journal and available committee drafts, are assembled in Farrand’s Records of the Federal Convention of 1787. The best known are Major Wm. Jackson and James Madison, the convention’s official Secretary and its unofficial note-taker, respectively. The efforts of all twelve note-takers are surveyed by output.

The Significance Of As 8.08.207 And Marshall’S Mcculloch, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
To become a lawyer in Alaska study at an accredited law school is rendered (potentially) avoidable if a student can study the branches of the law as prescribed by the course of study adopted by the University of Alaska, by which paraphrase Our Constitutional Logic cites the reader to AS 8.08.207(c).

The Significance Of As 8.08.207 And Marshall's Mcculloch, Peter J. Aschenbrenner

Ghosts Of The Disciplinary Machine: Lee Harvey Oswald, Life-History, And The Truth Of Crime, Jonathan Simon
Ghosts Of The Disciplinary Machine: Lee Harvey Oswald, Life-History, And The Truth Of Crime, Jonathan Simon
Jonathan S Simon
Thirty-four years ago, the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, popularly known as the Warren Commission, published its famous report. The Commission's most famous conclusion, that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, shot and killed President John F. Kennedy, has been the subject of ceaseless public debate. Such attention, of course, is understandable. The theory of a "lone gunman" seems too mundane an explanation for the closest crime a republic can have to regicide. The overwhelming popular interest in the Commission's judgment, however, has had the unfortunate consequence of deflecting analysis away from the Commission itself as a political …

Beyond Legal Realism?: Cultural Analysis, Cultural Studies, And The Situation Of Legal Scholarship, Austin Sarat, Jonathan Simon
Jonathan S Simon
Everywhere it seems that culture is in ascendance. More and more social groups are claiming to have distinctive cultures and are demanding recognition of their cultural distinctiveness. Identity politics has merged with cultural politics, so that to have an identity one must now also have a culture. Those who fail to establish their culture risk having their "truth" missed by the myriad of authorities--courts, admissions committees, draft boards-whose judgments help determine life fates. As a result, it sometimes seems as if almost every ethnic, religious, or social group seeks to have its "culture" recognized, and for precisely this reason "the …

Table Annexed To Article: Hamilton And Madison Deploy ‘Constitution’ In Four Intervals From 1787 Through 1836: Semantic Values Surveyed Through Quotations, 2 Ocl 610, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
The semantic values of ‘constitution’ and ‘constitutional’ are spread through a five way-grid beginning with The Federalist essays of Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. In the second tranche, their writings and speeches – now as opponents – in the bank bill debate (1791) are examined and contrasted with their debate over Washington’s Neutrality Proclamation (1793); in the third tranche, Hamilton’s public letters (from his retirement as Secretary of the Treasury to his death in 1804) are surveyed; the fourth consists of Madison’s works included in Farrand’s volume 3 (Records of the Federal Convention).

In a second table the non_Slave_Owning delegates’ voting behavior is likewise computed. The test statistics returned include the p-value in the critical region for the Slave_Owners at p-value: 0.002097 …

Blaming Culture For Bad Behavior, Leti Volpp
Blaming Culture For Bad Behavior, Leti Volpp
Leti Volpp
When do we call behavior "cultural"? And when do we not? Why do we distinguish behavior in this way? And what are the consequences of this difference in recognition and naming? This Essay examines narratives that emerge in cases of forced and voluntary adolescent marriage. These narratives suggest that behavior that we might find troubling is more often causally attributed to a group-defined culture when the actor is perceived to "have" culture. Because we tend to perceive white Americans as "people without culture," when white people engage in certain practices we do not associate their behavior with a racialized conception …
