Although Dred Scott v. Sandford is one of the Supreme Court's most controversial decisions, it is not often taught or read. But its approach to constitutional interpretation is by no means outdated, and its historical importance has not diminished. So it seems a good example to consider.

Justification In The Killing Of An Innocent Person, John Makdisi
Justification In The Killing Of An Innocent Person, John Makdisi
Cleveland State Law Review
It is appropriate to call Finnis' approach to life as an incommensurable basic human good a natural law approach. It suggests that there is more to life than just an accumulation of wealth, happiness, value, etc. There is something about life that we cannot value, that we cannot measure, that we cannot fathom, that is mysterious. While contract and even some tort law are readily adaptable to arguments of economic efficiency, there are areas where such arguments do not belong. Specifically, where the end result cannot be measured because the values at stake are incommensurable, there may be no best …

The Legal Ethics Of Radical Individualism, Thomas L. Shaffer
The Legal Ethics Of Radical Individualism, Thomas L. Shaffer
Journal Articles
Most of what American lawyers and law professors call legal ethics is not ethics. Legal ethics has come to be rules that appeal to sanction, and not the lawyer’s conscience. This Article analyzes the ethical quandary arising from modern ethics, and presents an assessment of the ethics of radical individualism in terms of the religious tradition’s influence on legal ethics.
Church-State Relations And Religious Convictions, Kent Greenawalt
Church-State Relations And Religious Convictions, Kent Greenawalt
Faculty Scholarship
Since the title of my talk is hardly self-explanatory, I want to begin by outlining my topic. My overall concern is with the proper place of religious convictions in lawmaking in our society. My special focus is on the place of religious convictions in the political resolution of churchstate issues.
The Connection Between Law And Morality: Comments On Dworkin, David B. Lyons
The Connection Between Law And Morality: Comments On Dworkin, David B. Lyons
Faculty Scholarship
Our discussions yesterday seemed haunted by a contrast--never quite formulated--between Natural Law and Legal Positivism. The standard interpretation turns on the idea of a "necessary connection" between law and morality. Positivism has often been understood to hold, and Natural Law to deny, that there can be unjust laws.
Justification And Judicial Responsibility, David B. Lyons
Justification And Judicial Responsibility, David B. Lyons
Faculty Scholarship
These Centenary Lectures are devoted to the "tension between rule and policy" in adjudication. The charge to the lecturers suggests it is "naive" to suppose that "the proper function of a court is to apply an established rule of law to the dispute before it." This topic has been a focus of legal theory at least since Holmes delivered his famous lecture, "The Path of the Law"--nearly as long as law has been taught at the University of California. It merits our continuing study.
Legal Theory And The Problem Of Definition, Philip E. Soper
Legal Theory And The Problem Of Definition, Philip E. Soper
Reviews
Natural Law and Natural Rights is a refreshingly direct book about some decidedly difficult matters. It is also a book that refuses to do homage to the complexity of its subject by limiting the topics covered. Here is virtually a mini-treatise in moral philosophy, with illuminating discussions on the whole range of human value and on a good part of the related range of metaethics, legal theory, political theory, and the problems of methodology in the descriptive social sciences.
Need, Necessity, And Political Obligation, David B. Lyons
Need, Necessity, And Political Obligation, David B. Lyons
Faculty Scholarship
In Law and Obedience, Professor Woozley denies that there is an obligation to obey the law just because it is the law. Professor Honoré disagrees. He does so, however, not by offering small criticisms of what he calls "the skeptical philosophy," but by giving us a vigorous and original argument for the more conventional, conformist view.
Authority And Consent, Joseph Raz
Authority And Consent, Joseph Raz
Faculty Scholarship
My starting point is the assumption that there is no general obligation to obey the law, not even a prima facie obligation and not even in a just society. This assumption is perhaps becoming more popular. In recent years it has been defended by several writers. There is more that needs to be said in its support, but I will not attempt to do so here. Instead, I will reflect on a problem posed by accepting it, a problem concerning the relations between an individual citizen and the state. It is common to think that the state has authority over …

5. Social Inquiry: Instructional Manual To Accompany 'Mark', Matthew Lipman, Ann Margaret Sharp
Secondary School Curriculum
The task of social studies as a discipline is to focus students’ already developed thinking skills upon the conceptual foundation of the social sciences. Students will think about these underlying concepts if they can talk about them, and they will talk about what they perceive as controversial or problematic. This, then, is what Mark and Social Inquiry aim to do: to identify selected root issues in the social sciences and expose to students the conflicting concepts at the heart of each issue.

4. Mark (Novel), Matthew Lipman
Secondary School Curriculum
The high school has been vandalized, and Mark is arrested at the scene of the crime. He claims he is a “victim of society.” But what is society? What forces hold it together or work to pull it apart? These are questions to which Mark and his classmates address themselves. What they seek are ways of evaluating social institutions, rules and values, so as to determine how well society is able to live up to the ideals which, at one time or another, have been set for it. They pay particular attention to the nature of law and crime, tradition, …
