The Realities Of Prisoners' Cases Under 42 U.S.C. § 1983: A Statistical Survey In The Northern District Of Illinois, William S. Bailey

Articles

To this end, all of the available prisoner section 1983 cases filed in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division in the years 1971 and 1973 have been reviewed.

Judicial Scrutiny Of "Benign" Racial Preference In Law School Admissions, Kent Greenawalt Jan 1975

Judicial Scrutiny Of "Benign" Racial Preference In Law School Admissions, Kent Greenawalt

Faculty Scholarship

Racial preferences for blacks generate ambivalence in those who care about racial equality and also believe that individuals should be judged "on their own merits." This ambivalence is reflected in divergent "equal protection" values, the value of eliminating barriers to equality imposed on minority groups and that of distributing the burdens and benefits of social life without reference to arbitrary distinctions. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that after Marco DeFunis, Jr. challenged the constitutionality of racial preferences for admission to a state law school, the Supreme Court's resolution of the issue was awaited with intense interest and some trepidation. For …

Racial Preferences In Higher Education: Political Responsibility And The Judicial Role, Terrance Sandalow Jan 1975

Racial Preferences In Higher Education: Political Responsibility And The Judicial Role, Terrance Sandalow

Articles

Controversy continues unabated over the question left unresolved by DeFunis v. Odegaard: whether in its admissions process a state law school may accord preferential treatment to certain racial and ethnic minorities. In the pages of two journals published by the University of Chicago, Professors John Hart Ely and Richard Posner have established diametrically opposed positions in the debate. Their contributions are of special interest because each undertakes to answer the question within the framework of a theory concerning the proper distribution of authority between the judiciary and the other institutions of government. Neither position, in my judgment, adequately confronts the …

Sovereign Immunity In A Constitutional Government: The Federal Employment Discrimination Cases, Charles F. Abernathy Jan 1975

Sovereign Immunity In A Constitutional Government: The Federal Employment Discrimination Cases, Charles F. Abernathy

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Very early in our history we took steps to insure that the.rule of law, as expressed in the Constitution, would prevail over the mortals who run our government. Yet even as the concepts of rule of law and judicial review came into ascendancy, we also harbored the sovereign immunity doctrine as a restraint on judicial power and as an apparent repudiation of the rule of law.

The inherent antagonism between the rule of law and the sovereign immunity doctrine has produced much mischief in our courts...this Article will argue that the sovereign immunity doctrine is not anticonstitutional, but rather reflects …
