The Jurisprudence Of Larceny:An Historical Inquiry And Interest Analysis, Kathleen F. Brickey

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Article tenders such a reconstruction and develops the theory that ownership, rather than possession, was the legal interest protected by common-law larceny. The theory is derived from analysis of the content of early theft law and the procedural forms through which property rights were vindicated.

Criminal Liability For Complicity In Abortions Committed Outside Ireland, Mark Findlay

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The legislative provisions which make it an offence to procure a miscarriage unlawfully or assist in the unlawful procurement are to be found in sections 58 and 59 or the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. In recent years the most common way for an Irish woman to obtain an abortion has been to leave the Republic and obtain such an operation in Britain, where the restrictions imposed on the medical profession with regard to performing operations are far less onerous. How then would the Irish courts view secondary parties to such extra-territorial activities?

Why Substantive Criminal Law - A Dialogue, Sanford H. Kadish

Cleveland State Law Review

In this dialogue, I have tried to address criticisms of the substantive criminal law, as a course and as a subject matter, made by a number of my students over several decades of teaching the subject. In away it is rather personal since it consists of the criticisms of my students and my apologia for what I have tried to do. That, however, would hardly be worth doing unless it is the case, as I believe it is, that these criticisms are widespread and that my responses speak to what is generally done in criminal law courses in this country.

Rebuttal: The Individual Or The Firm? Focusing The Threat Of Criminal Liability, John C. Coffee Jr.

Faculty Scholarship

I cannot disagree with much of what Mr. Crane has said in his very articulate presentation. One must be careful about trying to prove too much. I have not argued against individual criminal liability, but I do not believe we can rely on it exclusively. Let me therefore confine my reply to this question and to Mr. Crane's criticisms of my equity fine proposal.
