The Well-Intentioned Purpose But Weak Epistemological Foundation Of Originalism, George C. Christie
The Well-Intentioned Purpose But Weak Epistemological Foundation Of Originalism, George C. Christie
Faculty Scholarship
The attraction of an originalist approach to constitutional interpretation is understandable. It is maintained that only that method can provide the judicial objectivity and certainty that constitutional adjudication requires. They claim that the traditional common-law evolutionary approach leads Supreme Court Justices to succumb to the temptation to fill in gaps in constitutional law and thereby ignore that major expansions in constitutional meaning and should be made in the way the Founders envisioned, namely by amendment of the Constitution. However difficult or impractical that process may be, it is the only way to avoid the politicization of the Court. Whether that …

Faculty Scholarship
In a typical construction project, an owner contracts with a general contractor to construct improvements or make repairs to real property. The owner agrees to pay a total contract price for the work. Often, the general contractor then contracts with subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and other suppliers to do aspects of the job. These are part of the contractor’s costs to do the work for owner, and the expectation is that the contractor will pay his subcontractors and laborers from the money received from the owner. All too frequently, unfortunately, contractors receive the payment from the owner and then do not …
On Capturing The Possible Significance Of Institutional Design And Ethos, Peter L. Strauss
On Capturing The Possible Significance Of Institutional Design And Ethos, Peter L. Strauss
Faculty Scholarship
At a recent conference, a new judge from one of the federal courts of appeal – for the United States, the front line in judicial control of administrative action-made a plea to the lawyers in attendance. Please, he urged, in briefing and arguing cases reviewing agency actions, help us judges to understand their broader contexts. So often, he complained, the briefs and arguments are limited to the particular small issues of the case. We get little sense of the broad context in which it arises – the agency responsibilities in their largest sense, the institutional issues that may be at …
