Social Order And The Limits Of Law: A Theoretical Essay, Arthur S. Miller

Vanderbilt Law Review

Professor Jenkins maintains that Americans demand that "the law solve all of [their] problems and secure all of [their] purposes." The result is that we "so overload the legal apparatus that it short circuits, creating a spectacular display of fireworks but affecting nothing save its own wreckage."' That assertion, even if only partially accurate, merits close and continuing attention. Jenkins' analysis of that hypothesis--that proposition-is at once thought-provoking and illuminating. We are all in his debt for having written such a challenging book, even though I have some fundamental disagreements with how he develops that theme. Jenkins' work is a …

Democracy And Distrust: A Theory Of Judicial Review, Michael Conant

Vanderbilt Law Review

This review is a critique of the major themes in Democracy and Distrust: A Theory of Judicial Review,' by Professor John Hart Ely of Harvard Law School. Ely primarily addresses the amount of discretion exercised by Supreme Court justices in deciding constitutional cases, a fundamental issue since few scholars today would contest the actual existence of the judicial review power of the Court. Ely's thorough scholarship presents a fine discussion of the Court's legitimacy when it extends its discretion beyond the base of the actual constitutional language. Professor Ely misses the mark, however, in his argument that certain open-ended constitutional …

American Constitutional Law 1976–1981, Donald P. Kommers, Kenneth Ripple, John A. Scanlan

Journal Articles

From the Introduction:

"The principal goal of this report is to chart for an essentially non-American audience the course of doctrinal movement and change in important areas of Ameri­can constitutional law. The report relics almost entirely upon primary sources, particularly the decisions and opinions of the United States Supreme Court. The opinions and decisions discussed here arc those which in our view have had the most impact upon American governmental institutions, political processes, and constitu­tional policy in the period under review. In the short space provided we clearly cannot cover developments in all areas of American constitutional law. One such …

A Reply To Professor Ball, Philip Chase Bobbitt

Faculty Scholarship

Although it has been observed that approaching an allegedly universalistic theory by asserting the time- and culture-bound nature of that theory is an attack of some sort, Professor Ball does not take my lectures to be a rebuke to the enterprise in which he, Professor Tushnet, and others are engaged. Instead, he complains that I do not examine the relation between constitutional argument, on the one hand, and, on the other, social, political, and economic interests. This is a mistaken reading of my work. It is nice to be told that Tushnet and Ball accept my formulation "that in our …
