Truthfulness And Tragedy (Book Review), Thomas L. Shaffer
Truthfulness And Tragedy (Book Review), Thomas L. Shaffer
Journal Articles
This is the third book in which Professor Stanley Hauerwas has developed his "story" approach to Christian ethics. It is a collection of essays, almost all of which appeared in periodicals, written while he was developing his theory more systematically in Vision and Virtue (1974), and in Character and the Christian Life (1975). One of the chapters here, on suicide and euthanasia, was written with Dr. Richard Bondi; two others, on story theology and on Albert Speer's Inside the Third Reich, were written with Father David B. Burrell. The essays are arranged so that they explain and defend Hauerwas' thought …

Toward A Jurisprudence For The Law Office, Thomas L. Shaffer, Louis M. Brown
Toward A Jurisprudence For The Law Office, Thomas L. Shaffer, Louis M. Brown
Journal Articles
Brown is the founder and foremost exponent of preventive law jurisprudence. Shaffer has dwelt in recent books and essays on the parallels between humanistic psychology and the fife of lawyers. In this dialogue they focus their somewhat diverse insights on law as living; on their agreement that lawyer-client decisions are law in any functional sense of the word; and on the premise that an explicable jurisprudence is implicit in the process of law office decision making.
Politics And Jurisprudence In West Germany: State Financing Of Political Parties, Donald P. Kommers
Politics And Jurisprudence In West Germany: State Financing Of Political Parties, Donald P. Kommers
Journal Articles
The relationship between political parties and representative government has been an important consideration in the constitutional jurisprudence of the Federal Republic of Germany. The Federal Constitutional Court has gone further than any other constitutional tribunal in the West to promote a free and competitive party system, and the Court’s decisions affecting the status of parties under the Basic Law, especially those having to do with party finance, are a marvelous illustration of the interplay between politics and law. The Federal Constitutional Court’s decision in 1966 to invalidate a federal plan for subsidizing political parties is a good example of the …

Comparative Judicial Behavior (Book Review), Donald P. Kommers
Comparative Judicial Behavior (Book Review), Donald P. Kommers
Journal Articles
This book consists of several cross-cultural and exploratory studies of judicial decision-making, and is one of the first to appear in the developing field of comparative judicial politics. A product of many months of collaboration between American and Asian scholars at the East-West Center, University of Hawaii, it deals chiefly with decision-making processes in the high courts of Japan, Hawaii, India, Canada, Australia, and the Philippines. The Asian contributors are mainly law teachers with a strong interest in the sociology of law; the American scholars are mainly teachers of political science whose special interest is the study of judicial behavior. …
Developments In Judicial Jurisprudence, John M. Finnis
Developments In Judicial Jurisprudence, John M. Finnis
Journal Articles
The purpose of this Comment is to explore briefly the fundamentals of what Prof. H. L. A. Hart has called "the contribution offered by the judges to the jurisprudence of our day", and to indicate in outline the disparity between this contribution and those of the most recent academic writings.
The Straw Man Of Legal Positivism, Thomas F. Broden
The Straw Man Of Legal Positivism, Thomas F. Broden
Journal Articles
The typical view of many lawyers, philosophers, theologians and other thoughtful persons toward a so-called school of jurisprudence generally known as legal positivism is one of condemnation. According to this typical view legal positivism is a well developed philosophy of law the main tenets of which are that might makes right and that law and state sovereignty are absolute and not subject to independent moral evaluation. Needless to say this assumed jurisprudential view is roundly indicted, deplored and declaimed against with vigor and venom. We are warned that legal positivists are insidious termites threatening the very foundation of our law, …
Fire Insurance For Freedom, Clarence Emmett Manion
Fire Insurance For Freedom, Clarence Emmett Manion
Journal Articles
Mr. President Betts, Mr. President-Elect, gentlemen of the International Association of Insurance Counsel and your lovely ladies: I am particularly grateful and edified to a very great extent by the intelligent interest of the advocates of the advocates—may I say that of your lovely wives—for their sustained interest in these legalisms that you have heard here this morning. It is very impressive, and it encourages me to say primarily to the ladies present that what I am ostensibly addressing to the gentlemen, I am really addressing to you. I know, of course, that you are defense lawyers primarily, and I …

Foreword, Joseph O'Meara
Journal Articles
The Natural Law Institute, a function of The Law School of The University of Notre Dame, was organized in 1947. Five annual convocations were held under its auspices, the last one in December of 1951. Thereafter a search was undertaken for a way in which the Institute could function effectively on a year-round rather than a once-a-year basis. After exploring many possibilities, it was decided to publish this journal, the Natural Law Forum.
Founding Fathers And The Natural Law: A Study Of The Source Of Our Legal Institutions, The, Clarence Emmett Manion
Founding Fathers And The Natural Law: A Study Of The Source Of Our Legal Institutions, The, Clarence Emmett Manion
Journal Articles
Where did the Founding Fathers get the principles upon which they established our government? What was the source of their faith? The bedrock of their convictions? What was the political evolution of our Constitution? The legal philosophy of our Bill of Rights? The discussion of these questions by Dean Manion is timely for it is necessary now to make soundings and take bearings if the Ship of State is to continue on its true course. Whereas the Revolution of 1688 brought the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty to England, the American colonists resisted that doctrine and adhered to the true natural …
Have We Lost The Ball?, Clarence Emmett Manion
Have We Lost The Ball?, Clarence Emmett Manion
Journal Articles
Americans are devoted to a wide variety of ball games. In every season of the year millions of us are continually congregating to observe the swift, skillfully directed flight of baseballs, footballs, basket balls and golf balls. In all of these contests and exhibitions the existence, nature and condition of the involved ball 'has become a remote secondary consideration. The ball is taken for granted. We are concerned exclusively with the skill and coordination of the players and their intelligent observance of the rules. Nevertheless, in all of these games it must be admitted that "the ball" is the thing …
American Philosophy Of Law, Clarence Emmett Manion
American Philosophy Of Law, Clarence Emmett Manion
Journal Articles
America’s philosophy of law is a rich heritage sculpted by the American Revolution. The bold aspirations of the Declaration of Independence, which advances notions of inalienable, God-given rights find more mild-mannered forms in our Constitution. However, this prevailing concept is what makes our legal and political environment distinct from our English forebears.
Religion And American Law, Clarence Emmett Manion
Religion And American Law, Clarence Emmett Manion
Journal Articles
This article discusses the relationship of law and religion in American culture. It constructs a theory of "American Faith", a theory that underlies all of American jurisprudence. This theory includes the propositions that there is a God, that all men are equal in God's sight even if not in front of mortal men, and that the American Revolution was a "revolution of believers." It concludes that religious liberty is our one and only true freedom and by holding onto it we can support human rights and freedom.
A Lawyer Looks At Liberty, Clarence Emmett Manion
A Lawyer Looks At Liberty, Clarence Emmett Manion
Journal Articles
The Law has been defined as "The Perfection of Human Reason." This, of course, is a highly idealized definition. The Law often falls short of perfect reasonableness. Nevertheless reason and logic constitute the warp and woof of the whole fabric of our jurisprudence. In the strict determination and application of the Law, emotion-the natural enemy of reason-plays not part at all. In the courtroom, oratorical pyrotechnics are seldom permitted to obscure the real points that are at issue in a particular case. The trial of a lawsuit is predicated upon the pleadings and the art of formal pleading is as …
Two Preambles: A Distinction Between Form And Substance, Clarence Emmett Manion
Two Preambles: A Distinction Between Form And Substance, Clarence Emmett Manion
Journal Articles
The drill of research generally goes down just far enough to reach the oil of a controlling precedent and not an inch beyond. It is difficult to convince the average American lawyer that the perspective of his profession has changed since his school days, that it is still changing, and that the shift will soon take the direction of a revolution unless we immediately and deliberately re-anchor ourselves to the good earth of fixed first principles. With natural rights and judicial review subtracted from our American system, foreign news accounts of "Mercy Deaths," "Blood Purges," "Forced Labor," "Property Confiscation," "Aryan …
In Re Liberty: A Book And Its Critic, Clarence Emmett Manion
In Re Liberty: A Book And Its Critic, Clarence Emmett Manion
Journal Articles
The restrictive craze of American legislators is fast reducing our once virile and individually resourceful population to a race of unthinking automatons. Judicially and otherwise, American liberty and individual competence which is its hand-maid are rapidly being lost. This article discusses the book "Losing Liberty Judicially" by Thomas James Norton and the review of the book by Robert C. Brown.
Shrinking Bill Of Rights, Clarence Emmett Manion
Shrinking Bill Of Rights, Clarence Emmett Manion
Journal Articles
The assertion of intrinsic, God given rights correlated with the decline of monarchical power. The United States’ understanding that all men and women are endowed with unalienable rights was a long and hard-fought conclusion. However, this article argues that the Bill of Rights has gradually changed from being the bold guardian of individual liberty originally envisioned. Ironically, this change can be attributed to the courts and the legislature.
