The Future Of America And The Role Of Law, Ray Forrester
The Future Of America And The Role Of Law, Ray Forrester
Vanderbilt Law Review
On August 22, 1970, Dean Ray Forrester of the Cornell Law School presented this paper to the Southeastern Conference of the Association of American Law Schools and the American Association of Law Libraries meeting in Nashville, Tennessee. Because the question of negativism in the academic community seldom has been raised by a highly respected legal educator, the Vanderbilt Law Review felt that these remarks were particularly significant. To test the reaction of other prominent legal educators to Dean Forrester's position, the Vanderbilt Law Review solicited the comments of the deans of various law schools. This paper and the comments that …

On Dissent, Violence, And The Intellectual, Page Keeton
Vanderbilt Law Review
If I have properly assessed the meaning of Dean Forrester's comments, he stated that: (1) America is now in the midst of an attempted revolution, an attempt to create a new society by force and violence; (2) war, race relations, poverty, environment, and the other festers in our society, while great problems, are not the real causes of the discontent; (3) the attempted revolution is the product of a generation of university teaching and writing which has created the intellectual atmosphere and the state of mind that sustain the conflict. I respectfully dissent while recognizing at the same time the …

United States Participation In International Agreements For The Preservation Of Human Rights, A. Hamilton Cooke
United States Participation In International Agreements For The Preservation Of Human Rights, A. Hamilton Cooke
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The past two decades of international legal history have been characterized by an increased emphasis upon the importance of the individual as a proper subject of international law. Revolutionary changes have occurred in the area of human rights with the completion of various declarations, covenants, and conventions aimed at the preservation of specific rights within a framework of international law. The continuing importance and relevance of this general subject was symbolized by the designation of 1968 as the International Year for Human Rights in honor of the twentieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
This paper examines the …
Some Legal Problems Of State Trading In Southeast Asia, Chittharanjan F. Amerasinghe
Some Legal Problems Of State Trading In Southeast Asia, Chittharanjan F. Amerasinghe
Vanderbilt Law Review
State trading-trade conducted internationally by a state or public agency-has become a feature of the mixed economies of southeast Asia. With the growing importance of economic planning and the increase of state intervention (often tantamount to absolute control)in areas of the economy of individual southeast Asian countries, there has been an expansion of international trading functions by states or public agencies. Much of this trade is conducted at a state to state level, i.e., on a bilateral basis. This kind of infrastructure is attributable in part to the fact that the Communist bloc countries generally either have no place for …
Justice Brewer And Substantive Due Process: A Conservative Court Revisited, Robert E. Gamer
Justice Brewer And Substantive Due Process: A Conservative Court Revisited, Robert E. Gamer
Vanderbilt Law Review
From the heat of ideological battle which has accompanied the emergence of America into the status of a capitalistic society, late nineteenth century conservatives have emerged in many circles with a reputation for being selfish, profit-hungry individuals attempting to hide their rapacity under a cloak of pleasant platitudes and private charity. In addition to falling under this less-than-favorable shadow, those of this breed who presumably came to cluster about the Supreme Court of the United States have been attacked by liberals for subverting the Constitution of the United States into an instrument to serve the acquisitive interests of the capitalists …
The Charter And The Constitution: The Human Rights Provisions In American Law, Oscar Schachter
The Charter And The Constitution: The Human Rights Provisions In American Law, Oscar Schachter
Vanderbilt Law Review
The United Nations has added new complications to the well-worn subject of treaties and the Constitution. The issues have arisen principally in the field of human rights and, inevitably, constitutional discussions have reflected the political as well as the legal complexities. One consequence has been an apparent shift in legal positions: bar association leaders, long devoted to strict construction, have been inclined recently to stress the broad and expansive character of the treaty power and the supremacy clause ; in contrast, U.S. Government officials normally expected to support federal power have increasingly emphasized constitutional limitations. In political terms, this turnabout …

The Genocide Convention And The Constitution, Myres S. Mcdougal, Richard Arens
Vanderbilt Law Review
What is traditional for common crimes can scarcely be oppressive innovation for mass-murder. Even freedom of communication is not, furthermore, an absolute in democratic preference: security and human decency must likewise have their place.
It is no little irony that argument must be made in support of a convention to suppress genocide. "The spectacle," writes a contemporary journal of opinion, "of modern man explaining his right to existence is an odd one." The Genocide Convention is but one of many interrelated measures in a world-wide program to secure peace and respect for the dignity of the individual human being. Rational …
