Jurisdiction For Citizens To Enforce Against Violations Of The Clean Water Act, Jeffrey G. Miller Jan 1989

Jurisdiction For Citizens To Enforce Against Violations Of The Clean Water Act, Jeffrey G. Miller

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The First Annual Pace National Environmental Moot Court Competition was a splendid event. The students, faculty and administration of Pace were proud to host it. The Competition differs in many ways from other competitions. First, it features a field of law that has only recently become a major focus of legal practice. It is appropriate that Pace, a young law school, sponsor a competition in a new field of law. Second, the Competition's arguments are between three teams (government, industry and environmental advocates) rather than the traditional two. This is appropriate to the many sided nature of environmental disputes. Third, …


Cultivating Democracy: Community Organizing In Haiti, Paolo G. Carozza Jan 1989

Cultivating Democracy: Community Organizing In Haiti, Paolo G. Carozza

Journal Articles

Upon reflection, I gained a new realization of the role of human rights activism in Haiti, a more complete understanding of what needs to be done. I came to Haiti thinking that human rights work meant counting violations and reporting them internationally. Monitoring human rights abuses does serve a purpose; it helps bring attention and support to the work of indigenous activists and can help expose the illegitimacy of an abusive regime. But as I realized in the weeks following the rally at St. Jean Bosco, these activities are only instrumental to a larger end, that of remaking political life. …

Academic Freedom: A ‘Special Concern Of The First Amendment’, J. Peter Byrne Jan 1989

Academic Freedom: A ‘Special Concern Of The First Amendment’, J. Peter Byrne

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The First Amendment protects academic freedom. This simple proposition stands explicit or implicit in numerous judicial opinions, often proclaimed in fervid rhetoric. Attempts to understand the scope and foundation of a constitutional guarantee of academic freedom, however, generally result in paradox or confusion. The cases, shorn of panegyrics, are inconclusive, the promise of their rhetoric reproached by the ambiguous realities of academic life.


The Revolution In American Law Schools, David R. Barnhizer Jan 1989

The Revolution In American Law Schools, David R. Barnhizer

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

There is a continuing revolution in American law schools that is transforming legal scholarship, teaching, and the structure of the curriculum. The revolution is altering the law schools' relationships with the legal profession and judiciary. The revolution has not been contained within the schools, in part because it is being stimulated by events and sources outside the law schools with the schools being reactive rather than proactive institutions. This article examines the ten primary forces behind the revolution in American law schools.

The Serpent Strikes: Simulation In A Large First-Year Course, Philip G. Schrag Jan 1989

The Serpent Strikes: Simulation In A Large First-Year Course, Philip G. Schrag

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Simulation in legal education has come of age. Once confined to moot court exercises and trial practice offerings, simulation is now accepted, in principle, as a legitimate method of instruction in many types of courses. Every recent volume of the Journal of Legal Education has included at least one article on simulation, and in the past few years published works have offered the community of law teachers advice on using simulation to teach administrative law, contracts, constitutional law, bankruptcy, civil procedure, pretrial litigation, legislation, the "lawyering" process, and, of course, negotiation. These writings have helped to make simulation an accessible …

Legal Education As Political Consciousness-Raising Or Paving The Road To Hell, Richard F. Devlin Frsc Jan 1989

Legal Education As Political Consciousness-Raising Or Paving The Road To Hell, Richard F. Devlin Frsc

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

The Journal of Legal Education did all legal educators a great service when it published "Women in Legal Education-Pedagogy, Law, Theory, and Practice," a symposium that highlights feminist criticisms of, innovations in, and desiderata for legal education. The contributors challenge some of our deepest convictions about what it means to be a law teacher. Appropriately, all the contributors are women. It is they who have experienced most keenly-and have been harmed by the gendered nature of the legal educational process. The gendered nature of legal education is not, however, a "women's only" issue; it is not solely "their problem," "their …


In Praise Of Student-Edited Law Reviews: A Reply To Professor Dekanal, John Paul Jones Jan 1989

In Praise Of Student-Edited Law Reviews: A Reply To Professor Dekanal, John Paul Jones

Law Faculty Publications

Prof. Jones responds to a previous writer's arguments that the student-edited law review be replaced by journals edited by law faculty members. He argues that there are not enough willing faculty editors and staff members to sustain the present number and production rate of law journals.


The University And The Aims Of Professional Education, Terrance Sandalow Jan 1989

The University And The Aims Of Professional Education, Terrance Sandalow

Book Chapters

The graduate schools of elite American universities, Daniel Bell wrote not many years ago (though before "elite" had become a term of opprobrium), stand at the center of their parent institutions, a position from which they dominate not only American higher education but, increasingly, the intellectual life of the nation. Michigan was, of course, high on Bell's list of elite universities, and it is, therefore, fitting that we mark the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of its graduate school as an occasion worthy of celebration.

Towards An/Other Legal Education: Some Critical And Tentative Proposals To Confront The Racism Of Modern Legal Education, Richard F. Devlin Frsc Jan 1989

Towards An/Other Legal Education: Some Critical And Tentative Proposals To Confront The Racism Of Modern Legal Education, Richard F. Devlin Frsc

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

It seems to me that by drawing on the myth of Prometheus, Harry Arthurs has struck an important chord that we may find will resonate throughout the papers that are to be presented today. Particularly, by emphasizing the idea of being "unbound," President Arthurs has opened up a conversation that is premised upon the connection between law and freedom. I propose to take up and expand that conversation and, hopefully, to give it a significantly different orientation. Specifically, I want to identify and attempt to come to terms with an issue which, I fear, does not engender sufficient concern within …

Ethos And Conscience—A Rejoinder, Daniel S. Kleinberger Jan 1989

Ethos And Conscience—A Rejoinder, Daniel S. Kleinberger

Faculty Scholarship

In “Wanted: An Ethos of Personal Responsibility,” Professor Kleinberger sought to prompt debate about the moral preconceptions of the legal profession. Professor Morawetz responded in his essay, “Layers and Conscience.” This article responds, commenting on Morawetz’s arguments that (1) excessive pessimism about lawyer morality is unfounded and counterproductive; (2) the public’s antipathy toward lawyers is inevitable given the role lawyers play in our society; (3) codes of ethics can and do have an uplifting influence on the morals of lawyers; and (4) law schools can and do train moral judgment.


Wanted: An Ethos Of Personal Responsibility—Why Codes Of Ethics And Schools Of Law Don't Make For Ethical Lawyers, Daniel S. Kleinberger Jan 1989

Wanted: An Ethos Of Personal Responsibility—Why Codes Of Ethics And Schools Of Law Don't Make For Ethical Lawyers, Daniel S. Kleinberger

Faculty Scholarship

This article: (1) argues that neither codes of professional ethics nor traditional modes of law school teaching do much to produce ethical lawyers; (2) asserts that ethics codes and the presuppositions of the adversary system work to alienate lawyers from a sense of individual responsibility; (3) critiques the conceptual connection between the adversary system and codes of lawyer ethics; (4) critiques the conventional approach to teaching legal ethics in law schools; (5) invokes the approach to ethical analysis championed by the German sociologist and social theorist Max Weber; and (6) explains how that approach, coupled with traditional tools of legal …
