"Property Rights" In Constitutional Analysis Today, James L. Oakes Nov 1981

"Property Rights" In Constitutional Analysis Today, James L. Oakes

Washington Law Review

The concept of "property rights" in Supreme Court constitutional analysis today is in flux. It has been and is undergoing change—a change more rapid than those of us who have concentrated our attention on other personal rights can imagine. That this process of change raises anew some fundamental issues of justice is not surprising; the institution of property has always done so. Perhaps the change is simply a swing of the pendulum, as the quote from Justice Frankfurter suggests: individual "property rights" assume greater importance as a state moves toward a laissez-faire economy or away from a regulated one; they …


Constitutional Law—Balancing Test In Durational Residence Equal Protection Analysis—Williams V. Zobel, 619 P.2d 448 (Alaska 1980), Prob. Juris. Noted, 101 S. Ct. 1344 (1981), E. Thaddeus Lewis Nov 1981

Constitutional Law—Balancing Test In Durational Residence Equal Protection Analysis—Williams V. Zobel, 619 P.2d 448 (Alaska 1980), Prob. Juris. Noted, 101 S. Ct. 1344 (1981), E. Thaddeus Lewis

Washington Law Review

This note analyzes the Zobel II opinion and concludes that it was correctly decided both under the two-tier analysis employed by the United States Supreme Court and the balancing approach adopted by the Alaska court. Since this case is before the United States Supreme Court on appeal, this note urges the Court to adopt the Alaska balancing test for durational residence equal protection cases as a replacement for the traditional two-tier analysis.

The Courts And The 1980 Census Challenges: Tailoring Rights To Fit Remedies, David B. Tachau Oct 1981

The Courts And The 1980 Census Challenges: Tailoring Rights To Fit Remedies, David B. Tachau

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note thus presents a vivid illustration of how the recognition of legal rights sometimes may depend wholly upon the efficacy of awarding relief. Parts I and II survey the 1980 census challenges and explore whether the 1980 litigants presented sound grievances. Part III argues that the 1980 census challengers may have failed because the reviewing courts could envision no feasible remedies for their injuries, and not because the challengers presented flawed legal and constitutional arguments. Finally, part IV criticizes the courts for dismissing the census challenges without confronting or acknowledging the gravity of the constitutional injuries threatened by census …


Social Order And The Limits Of Law: A Theoretical Essay, Arthur S. Miller Oct 1981

Social Order And The Limits Of Law: A Theoretical Essay, Arthur S. Miller

Vanderbilt Law Review

Professor Jenkins maintains that Americans demand that "the law solve all of [their] problems and secure all of [their] purposes." The result is that we "so overload the legal apparatus that it short circuits, creating a spectacular display of fireworks but affecting nothing save its own wreckage."' That assertion, even if only partially accurate, merits close and continuing attention. Jenkins' analysis of that hypothesis--that proposition-is at once thought-provoking and illuminating. We are all in his debt for having written such a challenging book, even though I have some fundamental disagreements with how he develops that theme. Jenkins' work is a …

"Deprogramming": From The Defense Counsel's Perspective, Albert R. Vermeire Oct 1981

"Deprogramming": From The Defense Counsel's Perspective, Albert R. Vermeire

West Virginia Law Review

We begin with the proposition that the right of freedom of thought protected by the First Amendment against State action includes both the right to speak freely and the right to refrain from speaking at all. A system which secures the right to proselytize religious, political and ideological causes must also guarantee the concomitant right to decline to foster such concepts. The right to speak and the right to refrain from speaking are complementary components of the broader concept of 'individual freedom of mind.' Anguished parents and sympathetic judges; concerned attorneys and psychologists; reality-inducing therapists, police officers and adult or …

The Consultation Clause Of The 1973 War Powers Resolution, Laurence D. Pierce Sep 1981

The Consultation Clause Of The 1973 War Powers Resolution, Laurence D. Pierce

Antioch Law Journal

In 1973, Congress enacted the War Powers Resolution.'

Constitutional Criminal Litigation, Andrew H. Marshall Jul 1981

Constitutional Criminal Litigation, Andrew H. Marshall

Mercer Law Review

During 1980 the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit decided well over 200 cases in the constitutional law/criminal area, including direct criminal appeals, collateral attacks on both state and federal criminal convictions, and a handful of cases arising in other contexts. The typical opinion addresses and resolves multiple assignments of error, which compounds the difficulty of organizing decisions into precise, discrete categories. The quantity and diversity of litigation in the area requires that a survey be limited to a fraction of the decided cases. The selection process utilized in the preparation of this survey can only be …


Legitimate Interests In Multistate Problems: As Between State And Federal Law, Lea Brilmayer Jun 1981

Legitimate Interests In Multistate Problems: As Between State And Federal Law, Lea Brilmayer

Michigan Law Review

This Article examines that common ground, analyzing the roles of state policy interests and contacts in defining constitutional limits. It concentrates particularly on one paradoxical aspect of the interaction between federal and state law. While the scope of constitutional limits on application of forum law is necessarily a federal issue, constitutional analysis simultaneously defers in some unspecified way to state policy. This is because federal choice-of-law questions frequently tum on the existence of a state policy interest that legitimizes the application of state law. The resulting interdependence of the federal and state issues would seemingly empower state legislatures and courts …
