A Tribute To Vine Deloria, Jr.: An Indigenous Visionary, David E. Wilkins
A Tribute To Vine Deloria, Jr.: An Indigenous Visionary, David E. Wilkins
Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications
A Standing Rock Lakota citizen, Deloria was arguably the most intellectually gifted and articulate spokesman for Indigenous nationhood in the twentieth century. He was never quite comfortable with the notion that he was, in fact, the principal champion of tribal nations and their citizens, since he expected that each Native nation and every tribal citizen express confidence in their own distinctive identities, develop their own unique talents, and wield their collective and individual sovereignty in a way that enriched not only their own nations but all those around them as well.
For Deloria, freedom and justice could only be achieved …

[Chapter 1 From] Hollow Justice: A History Of Indigenous Claims In The United States, David E. Wilkins
[Chapter 1 From] Hollow Justice: A History Of Indigenous Claims In The United States, David E. Wilkins
Bookshelf
This book, the first of its kind, comprehensively explores Native American claims against the United States government over the past two centuries. Despite the federal government's multiple attempts to redress indigenous claims, a close examination reveals that even when compensatory programs were instituted, native peoples never attained a genuine sense of justice. David E. Wilkins addresses the important question of what one nation owes another when the balance of rights, resources, and responsibilities have been negotiated through treaties. How does the United States assure that guarantees made to tribal nations, whether through a century old treaty or a modern day …

[Introduction To] The Legal Universe: Observations On The Foundations Of American Law, Vine Deloria, Jr., David E. Wilkins
[Introduction To] The Legal Universe: Observations On The Foundations Of American Law, Vine Deloria, Jr., David E. Wilkins
Bookshelf
According to Deloria and Wilkins, "Whenever American minorities have raised voices of protest, they have been admonished to work within the legal system that seek its abolition." This essential work examines the historical evolution of the legal rights of various minority groups and the relationship between these rights and the philosophical intent of the American founders.

Section I analyzes the legal framework and history of collective bargaining in Illinois, and Section II follows with a similar analysis for Virginia. Each section includes current data about public sector employees and union activity in the two states. Section III follows with a discussion of possible explanations for the differences in the law of the two states. Section IV looks at the lessons from this analysis for state and federal lawmakers, unions, employers, and labor relations advocacy groups.

Federal Policy, Western Movement, And Consequences For Indigenous People: 1790-1920, David E. Wilkins
Federal Policy, Western Movement, And Consequences For Indigenous People: 1790-1920, David E. Wilkins
Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications
In virtually every respect imaginable—economic, political cultural, sociological, psychological, geographical, and technological—the years from the creation of the United States through the Harding administration brought massive upheaval and transformation for native nations. Everywhere, U.S. Indian law (federal and state)—by which I mean the law that defines and regulates the nation's political and legal relationship to indigenous nations—aided and abetted the upheaval.

The Supreme Court: A Unique Institution, John Paul Jones
The Supreme Court: A Unique Institution, John Paul Jones
Law Faculty Publications
Established by the U.S. Constitution in 1789, the Supreme Court is both the final arbiter of significant legal cases and the prevailing authority on the constitutionality of individual laws. While the Constitution specifies the Court's original jurisdiction, it does not spell out how the Court should conduct its business, or even the number of justices who should serve on the Court or what their qualifications should be. Thus, the Founding Fathers provided a High Court for the nation with the adaptability to respond to the needs of its citizens.

Indigenous Nations As Reserved Sovereigns, David E. Wilkins
Indigenous Nations As Reserved Sovereigns, David E. Wilkins
Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications
Some adhere to the idea that the federal government, as a democratic state founded on the rule of law, contains within its legal and political institutions and ideologies a framework that provides the necessary vaccines that will eventually cure the various and sundry indigenous ailments generated throughout American society by its social, economic, political and legal institutions.
By contrast, there are others who vigorously argue that the prevailing institutions of governance and law of the United States are incapable of providing justice to First Nations because they entail systems, ideologies, and values that represent non-Indians and thus they cannot possibly …
Building A Strong Subnational Debt Market, Paul S. Maco
Building A Strong Subnational Debt Market, Paul S. Maco
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
Decentralization of responsibility for finance and growing infrastructure needs are two trends that are expected to stimulate a growth in government borrowing at the sub-national level. Statistics for the first half of 2000 show a significant increase in sub-national debt volume, with global public finance, excluding Canada and the United States, more than doubling that of the first half of 1999.
Tribal-State Affairs: American States As 'Disclaiming' Sovereigns, David E. Wilkins
Tribal-State Affairs: American States As 'Disclaiming' Sovereigns, David E. Wilkins
Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications
The history of tribal-state political relations has been contentious from the beginning of the republic. As a result of these tensions, the relationship of tribal nations and the federal government was federalized when the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1788. Thus, a number of states, especially in the West, were required in their organic acts and constitutions to forever disclaim jurisdiction over Indian property and persons. This article analyzes these disclaimer clauses, explains the factors that have enabled the states to assume some jurisdictional presence in Indian Country, examines the key issues in which disclaimers continue to carry significant weight, …
The Federalism Pendulum, Ronald J. Bacigal
The Federalism Pendulum, Ronald J. Bacigal
Law Faculty Publications
Following Franklin's example, this essay takes a protracted view of the federalization of criminal procedure. It is important to review how the federalism pendulum has swung over the years to reflect concepts of what the Constitution was meant to mean, what it has come to mean, and what it ought to mean.

Homicide And History, Edward L. Ayers
Homicide And History, Edward L. Ayers
History Faculty Publications
Violence seems more threatening today than in the relatively recent past. For centuries, crime was kept out of sight. The "criminal classes" were segregated from the rest of society. Newspapers, police, and courts paid relatively little attention to crimes among the poor. Today, things are different: television news thrives on scenes of flashing lights, distraught parents, and bloody sidewalks. Police continually patrol parts of town they used to ignore. Modern transportation permits members of the "dangerous classes" to range more widely than before. As a result, the general population is far more aware of violence now than in the past.

General Information:
The Law School was established as a department of Richmond College in 1870. In 1890 the family of the late T. C. Williams, who had been a devoted and valued Trustee, donated $25,000 as the nucleus of an endowment for the Law School. In recognition of this gift, the name of the School was changed to the T. C. Williams School of Law. At various times the School has received further generous gifts from members of the family of Mr. Williams. A substantial gift came through a bequest from Mr. T. C. Williams, Jr. who, like his father, …
The American Doctrine Of Sovereign Immunity: An Historical Analysis, Daniel T. Murphy
The American Doctrine Of Sovereign Immunity: An Historical Analysis, Daniel T. Murphy
Law Faculty Publications
Although more than one hundred and fifty years old, the case vivifying the concept of sovereign immunity, The Schooner Exchange v. M cFaddon, is still repeatedly referred to in judicial opinions. Significantly, it is cited not for purposes of distinction or historical perspective, but rather, is employed as a present underpinning for sovereign immunity, even though the political and social circumstances of today differ considerably from those existing in 1812.
Subsequent cases, however, while often justifying the conclusions reached by references to Marshall's discussion in The Schooner Exchange, have intertwined into the concept of sovereign immunity notions distinct from Chief …
