The Dobbs Effect On West Virginia, Anne Marie Lofaso, Cameron Kiner Apr 2023

Moreover, a stable consensus concerning the debate about when life begins and other questions surrounding abortion has rarely if ever been attained. Notwithstanding the numerous questions raised by this indisputably controversial subject, this article is quite limited in scope. In Section I, we review the development and retrenchment of an individual’s right to terminate their pregnancy starting on January 22, 1973, the day that the United …


The Founders' Multi-Purpose Chief Justice: The English Origins Of The American Chief Justiceship, Justin W. Aimonetti, Jackson A. Myers Sep 2021

The Founders' Multi-Purpose Chief Justice: The English Origins Of The American Chief Justiceship, Justin W. Aimonetti, Jackson A. Myers

West Virginia Law Review

During the founding era, the American Chief Justice was nearly unrecognizable to modern eyes.

English judges historically served as multi-purpose ministers to the king, engaging in administrative and even political tasks. This was especially true for the Lord Chief Justice. Even as other English judges settled into more …

What Has The Supreme Court Taught: A Criticism Of The Unites States Supreme Court By Way Of A Critique Of Lance V. The Board Of Education Of Roane County, James Audley Mclaughlin

West Virginia Law Review

The subway fare in New York City was recently raised to thirty cents. Incensed citizens immediately declared they would go to court and have the increase declared unconstitutional. "Unconstitutional" and "constitutional rights" have become the watchwords of political protestors and reformers. Moreover, their political forum is often a court of law. Who taught the nation this rhetoric, this mode of action, and this attitude toward law, law reform, and politics? The Supreme Court of the United States. Has the Court deliberately taught this doctrine? No, nor is it apparently even conscious of what it has unwittingly done. It is important …
