"The Eternal Triangles Of The Law": Toward A Theory Of Priorities In Conflicts Involving Remote Parties, Menachem Mautner
"The Eternal Triangles Of The Law": Toward A Theory Of Priorities In Conflicts Involving Remote Parties, Menachem Mautner
Michigan Law Review
Anglo-American priority law is premised on a doctrinal-derivational approach under which "triangle conflicts" are supposed to be resolved on the basis of the legal rights that the intermediate, wrongdoing party could have transferred from the first-in-time competing party to the second-in-time competing party. In Part I, I outline the major propositions of this approach. I argue that in focusing on the intermediate party, the doctrinal-derivational approach fails to address the primary consideration relevant to resolving triangle conflicts, namely the conduct of the two remote claimants involved in the conflict. In Part II, I focus on the two remote parties involved …

The Concept Of Law And The New Public Law Scholarship, Edward L. Rubin
The Concept Of Law And The New Public Law Scholarship, Edward L. Rubin
Michigan Law Review
This article is an attempt to identify the nature of an emerging field of legal scholarship known as "New Public Law." "New," of course, is a dangerous term. Our society's image of itself as forward looking and its tendency to market itself to itself through claims of novelty has spawned a range of phrases from the New Deal to the New Criticism to various new, improved laundry detergents. One does not hear very many positive comments about the "old" these days. The argument that old ways of doing things are better has become an emblem of mistaken thought, and the …
The Unintended Cultural Consequences Of Public Policy: A Comment On The Symposium, Richard H. Pildes
The Unintended Cultural Consequences Of Public Policy: A Comment On The Symposium, Richard H. Pildes
Michigan Law Review
In this essay, I want to try to build on it in order to suggest forms a genuinely New Public Law scholarship might take. My aim is to embrace much of what New Public Law thought has urged: the marginality of common law doctrine or judicial decisionmaking; the need to attend to profound disaffections with the modem regulatory state; an acceptance of the complex, dynamic relationship of public policy and private understandings; a recognition that public values are constituted not only at the grandest levels of policy formation, but also in the myriad microscopic day-to-day experiences of policy. In my …
Review Essay: Sunstein, Statutes, And The Common Law--Reconciling Markets, The Communal Impulse, And The Mammoth State, Peter L. Strauss
Review Essay: Sunstein, Statutes, And The Common Law--Reconciling Markets, The Communal Impulse, And The Mammoth State, Peter L. Strauss
Michigan Law Review
The following pages principally address Professor Sunstein's basic argument for building on, rather than defending against, legislative judgments, and so virtually ignore the details of his proposals for statutory interpretation. Part I outlines Sunstein's case for some regulation - the necessary failures of market ordering and the consequent need for a mixed economy in which government regulation intervenes in important ways. Part II addresses Sunstein's decision to tie his analysis to the public law innovations of the New Deal, and suggests ways in which the analysis might be strengthened by attention to earlier struggles and changes - changes in common …
The New Public Law Movement: Moderation As A Postmodern Cultural Form, William N. Eskridge Jr., Gary Peller
The New Public Law Movement: Moderation As A Postmodern Cultural Form, William N. Eskridge Jr., Gary Peller
Michigan Law Review
The past twenty years have witnessed an explosion of public law scholarship, as legal scholars reconceptualized themes of administrative law, legislation, and constitutional law; created almost from scratch whole new areas of public law scholarship, including discrimination, environmental, and consumer protection theory; and enlivened discourse with concepts drawn from microeconomics, public choice theory, civic republicanism, practical philosophy, and hermeneutics. This intellectually intense activity has suggested the possibility that public law discourse has entered a "critical stage" and stimulated the Michigan Law Review to hold a conference in October 1990 on whether there is something that might be called "New Public …
Structure, Relationship, Ideology, Or, How Would We Know A "New Public Law" If We Saw It?, Peter M. Shane
Structure, Relationship, Ideology, Or, How Would We Know A "New Public Law" If We Saw It?, Peter M. Shane
Michigan Law Review
Academic writings and judicial opinions are the research materials most accessible to legal academics. It is thus unsurprising that, when asked to discuss "New Public Law," professors of administrative law, constitutional law, and legislation focus chiefly on emerging scholarship and judicial output. This tendency illustrates the general and quite understandable phenomenon that people, including law professors, do most whatever they can do most readily.
Nevertheless, however elegantly and provocatively we analyze each other's work and the labor of judges, discerning whether a new public law exists ought to involve a broader inquiry. In this essay I explore the complexity of …
In The Shadow Of The Legislature: The Common Law In The Age Of The New Public Law, Daniel A. Farber, Philip P. Frickey
In The Shadow Of The Legislature: The Common Law In The Age Of The New Public Law, Daniel A. Farber, Philip P. Frickey
Michigan Law Review
In this essay, we explore how modem common law judges should view their role vis-a-vis the legislature. We suggest that the perspective of the "New Public Law," as we conceptualize it, is surprisingly helpful in considering this problem.
In Part I, we briefly summarize two important aspects of the New Public Law: republicanism and public choice. We then address an obvious objection to our project - that our topic relates to private law, and is therefore outside the purview of the New Public Law. Part II turns to important questions about the relationship between statutes and the common law: When …
