The Authoritarian Impulse In Constitutional Law, Robin West Jan 1988

The Authoritarian Impulse In Constitutional Law, Robin West

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Should there be greater participation by legislators and citizens in constitutional debate, theory, and decision-making? An increasing number of legal theorists from otherwise divergent perspectives have recently argued against what Paul Brest calls the "principle of judicial exclusivity" in our constitutional processes. These theorists contend that because issues of public morality in our culture either are, or tend to become, constitutional issues, all political actors, and most notably legislators and citizens, should consider the constitutional implications of the moral issues of the day. Because constitutional questions are essentially moral questions about how active and responsible citizens should constitute themselves, we …


Jurisprudence And Gender, Robin West Jan 1988

Jurisprudence And Gender, Robin West

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

What is a human being? Legal theorists must, perforce, answer this question: jurisprudence, after all, is about human beings. The task has not proven to be divisive. In fact, virtually all modern American legal theorists, like most modern moral and political philosophers, either explicitly or implicitly embrace what I will call the "separation thesis" about what it means to be a human being: a "human being," whatever else he is, is physically separate from all other human beings. I am one human being and you are another, and that distinction between you and me is central to the meaning of …

Enforcement Provisions Of The Civil Rights Act Of 1866: A Legislative History In Light Of Runyon V. Mccrary, The Review Essay And Comments: Reconstructing Reconstruction, Robert J. Kaczorowski

Faculty Scholarship

The purpose of this Comment is to examine the history of the enactment and early enforcement of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 from the perspective of the remedies Congress sought to provide to meet the problems that necessitated the legislation. Its main foci are the statute's enforcement provisions and their early implementation, an aspect of the history of the statute that has not been fully considered in relation to section one, the provision that has received the most scholarly attention. The occasion of this study is the Supreme Court's reconsideration of Runyon v. McCrary' in Patterson v. McLean Credit …

The Transformation Of Trusts As A Legal Category, 1800-1914, Gregory S. Alexander Oct 1987

The Transformation Of Trusts As A Legal Category, 1800-1914, Gregory S. Alexander

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Sometimes we are least aware of that which most affects us. So it seems with respect to legal categories. Lawyers do not take legal categories very seriously today. But they should. Legal categories are central to legal reasoning; indeed it is almost impossible to imagine legal reasoning without the use of categories. Categorical thinking affects every area of law. The purpose of this article is to illuminate, through a case-study, the contingent and ideological character of legal categories. It focuses on the development of trusts into and then as a discrete legal category during the period between the beginning of …


The Evolution Of Law: Continued, Alan Watson Oct 1987

The Evolution Of Law: Continued, Alan Watson

Scholarly Works

In my book The Evolution of Law I sought to give a general theory of legal evolution based on detailed legal examples from which generalizations could be drawn, offering as few examples as were consistent with my case in order to present as clear a picture as possible. I was well aware as I was writing that some critics would regard the examples as mere isolated aberrations and for them and for other readers who, whether convinced of the thesis or not, would like further evidence, I want here to bring forward a few extra significant examples.

International Law And The Grotian Heritage, L C. Green Sep 1987

International Law And The Grotian Heritage, L C. Green

Dalhousie Law Journal

Recent emphasis on codification of this or that aspect of international law has encouraged a number of writers to re-examine the "classics" with a view to ascertaining the extent to which we have moved from the 17th and 18th centuries and how far the views of the "teachers" are still relevant or may even today be regarded as lexferenda. Coincident with the fourth centenary of the birth of Grotius, the Interuniversitair Instituut voor International Recht T.M.C. Asser Instituut in cooperation with the Grotiana Foundation organized a commemorative colloquium in the Peace Palace and the Academy of International Law at the …

Les Sciences Jurisdiques À L'Université Du Québec À Montréal: Fifteen Years Later, Robert D. Bureau, Carol Jobin

Dalhousie Law Journal

The experiment of the Law Department as a new approach to legal education has been going on now for 15 years. It has directly involved more than 1,500 people as students, instructors (professors and sessional lecturers) and support staff (administrative and library personnel, etc.). This experiment has a unique identity, indeed a distinctive image, which has given rise to a certain amount of controversy in the Quebec legal milieu. Especially since the debates stemming from the publication of the Law and Learning Report, it seems that the experiment has also aroused a certain amount of curiosity in the Canadian legal …

The Law School At Windsor 1967-1987: A Teenager Comes Of Age, Neil Gold, Julio R. Menezes

Dalhousie Law Journal

The University of Windsor was established by Act of the Legislature of Ontario on July 1, 1963, one hundred and six years following an enactment by the Province of Canada to establish its predecessor, Assumption College. The new University was a federation of this Catholic College and other Christian denominational institutions, together with Essex College, a non-denominational college.

The Teaching Of International Law At The Université De Montréal: The 1971 To 1985 Period, Daniel Turp

Dalhousie Law Journal

The teaching of International Law at the Universit6 de Montr6al has continued to be of primary importance during the 14 academic years comprised between the years 1971 to 1985. This importance is evidenced by staff members devoting themselves, on a full-time basis, to international law and by the significant number of guest professors, sessional lecturers and teaching assistants that have been involved in the teaching of international law.


The Canadian Institute Of Resources Law At Calgary, Constance D. Hunt Sep 1987

The Canadian Institute Of Resources Law At Calgary, Constance D. Hunt

Dalhousie Law Journal

When the University of Calgary's Law Faculty was established in 1976, one of its mandates was to develop a specialized program in resources and environmental law. This process was embarked upon immediately through the use of many resources law issues as teaching vehicles in firstyear courses such as constitutional and property law, and the development of an upper-year curriculum that featured several courses and programs in resources and environmental law. As well, generous contributions from Calgary law firms and corporations resulted in the partial endowment of a Chair of Natural Resources Law.
