Racial Defamation As Free Speech: Abusing The First Amendment, Kenneth Lasson
Racial Defamation As Free Speech: Abusing The First Amendment, Kenneth Lasson
All Faculty Scholarship
The traditional view of the first amendment's free speech guarantee as absolute, allowing few and narrow exceptions, reflects the Constitution's dedication to an open and unfettered exchange of ideas. Those thoughts that are abhorrent to a free society, the argument goes, will wither when aired but fester if suppressed. Moreover, who is to decide which ideas are offensive? The interests of the state may well be inferior to those of the people, the wisdom of public servants often suspect in quality and motivation. But freedom of speech is so precious and delicate a liberty it must be preserved at great …

Notes On Natural Rights Of Intellectual Property - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon
Notes On Natural Rights Of Intellectual Property - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
In many areas courts are giving new intellectual property rights for reasons they largely leave unarticulated. Noncopyrightable stock averages are being protected by state law. Merchandising emblems and symbols are being protected in non-trademark contexts by trademark law. The right of publicity has expanded to such an extent that judges and commentators al iKe bewail the imminent dangers to the First Amendment caused by the imprecision of the new right’s boundaries. Even in federal copyright law, which explicitly says that facts and ideas should be free of protection, and where inadvertent copying is supposed to be as actionable as intentional …

Conversation With Lee Bollinger - 1985, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
First, Lee Bollinger (and others) seem to feel that the misappropriation "urge" makes sense when seen against a background where most things one creates DO get property treatment. Lee therefore says it's my burden as a writer to explain why this area is different--both to succeed in making a case clear, AND to create barriers between this area and others. Essentially, he argues, people will be afraid that less-than-complete property here will erode property elsewhere.

In Defense Of Group-Libel Laws, Or Why The First Amendment Should Not Protect Nazis, Kenneth Lasson
All Faculty Scholarship
The author discusses group libel laws, and the underlying problems when free speech is used as a defense by those who would defame specific racial or ethnic groups and/or minorities. The topic is further explained in reference to various state laws, and the subsequent court cases extant at the time of the article's writing which defined the issue in terms of law. References are also made to such laws in countries other than the United States for the sake of comparison.

Toward A General Theory Of Church-State Relations And The First Amendment, Carl H. Esbeck

Although government intervention in religious affairs is a new and understandably worrisome experience for many American churches, history instructs us that the confrontation is not novel. We can find some comfort in the fact that this double wrestle of state with church and state with individual believers is a perennial match. After all, it has been nearly sixty years since a brutish measure in Oregon making parochial school education unlawful had to be sidelined by the United States Supreme Court in Pierce v. Society of Sisters.' Over forty-five years ago the Supreme Court decided Lovell v. City of Griffin, snuffing …

Obscene Telephone Calls: An Introduction To The Reading Of Statutes, Reed Dickerson
Obscene Telephone Calls: An Introduction To The Reading Of Statutes, Reed Dickerson
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Members of the legal profession continually confront problems of statutory interpretation. Unfortunately, most lawyers have been inadequately trained to read and to draft statutes, resulting in poorly reasoned judicial decisions and policy choices.
In this Article, Professor Dickerson explores common problems associated with statutory interpretation. In exploring these problems, he describes the cognitive process involved in reading a statute and the large fund of tacit assumptions that condition this process. Through a case study analysis, he suggests a method of approaching problems of statutory interpretation.
The Pathological Perspective And The First Amendment, Vincent A. Blasi
The Pathological Perspective And The First Amendment, Vincent A. Blasi
Faculty Scholarship
Constitutions are designed to control, or at least influence, future events – political events, adjudicative events, to some extent even interactions between private parties. Yet the future is unknowable, largely unpredictable, and inevitably variable. At any moment there exists a short-run future, a long-run future, and a future in between. The future is virtually certain to contain some progress, some regression, some stability, some volatility. How is a constitution supposed to operate upon this vast panoply?
That is a question that ought to loom large in the deliberations of persons who propose and ratify new constitutions and new constitutional amendments. …
Note: Exit Polls And The First Amendment, Geoffrey R. Watson
Note: Exit Polls And The First Amendment, Geoffrey R. Watson
Scholarly Articles
This Note examines the constitutionality and the wisdom of these state laws and congressional proposals. Part I traces the history of exit polls and election-night projections. Part II argues that restrictions on the collection or dissemination of exit poll data, whether designed to prevent disruption at the voting area or to protect the integrity of the vote, violate the first amendment. Part III concludes that a uniform poll-closing time coupled with voluntary network restraint would both allay legitimate concerns about election-night predictions and comport with first amendment values.
Religious Convictions And Lawmaking, Kent Greenawalt
Religious Convictions And Lawmaking, Kent Greenawalt
Faculty Scholarship
In this Article, presented as the 1985-86 Thomas M. Cooley Lectures at the University of Michigan School of Law on March 10-12, 1986, Professor Greenawalt addresses the role that religious conviction properly plays in the liberal citizen's political decisionmaking in a liberal democratic society. Rejecting the notion that all political questions can be decided on rational secular grounds, Professor Greenawalt argues that the liberal democratic citizen may rely on his religious convictions when secular morality is unable to resolve issues critical to a political decision. The examples of animal rights and environmental protection, abortion, and welfare assistance illustrate situations where …
