A Peculiar People: The Mystical And Pragmatic Appeal Of Mormonism, Kenneth Anderson
A Peculiar People: The Mystical And Pragmatic Appeal Of Mormonism, Kenneth Anderson
Book Reviews
This 1999 Los Angeles Times Book Review essay examines Richard and Joan Ostling's account of contemporary Mormonism in the United States. Richard Ostling, a reporter for Time Magazine, obtained extensive access to Mormon Church officials in the course of researching the book, and it gives the fullest account available currently of Mormon life in America. The review finds the book to be very evenhanded and objective, and perhaps the best introduction to the Mormon faith extant today, whether by Mormon church members or non-members.

Book Review of Bob Woodward, "Shadow: Five Presidents and the Legacy of Watergate"In the months after the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton, the race was on, publish or perish, to make some sense of the events of the last year. Notwithstanding that Bob Woodward is the dean of inside-Beltway reporting, the journalist who had defined coverage of presidential implosions, from Richard Nixon onward he faced stiff competition from a wide range of Clintonia writers, both journalists and former aides, including Michael Isikoff, George Stephanopoulos and Christopher Hitchens. Woodward's entry, "Shadow," attempts to cut loose from the crowd by being about …
The Erotics Of Virtue, Kenneth Anderson
The Erotics Of Virtue, Kenneth Anderson
Book Reviews
(Obituary Essay on Dominique Aury/Pauline Reage, Author of Story of O)This essay originally appeared in the LA Times book review as an obituary essay on Dominique Aury, author (under the name Pauline Reage) of the pornographic classic Story of O. The essay argues that Story of O is a fairy tale in which the heroine, O, seeks to escape from modernity's enforced virtues of equality, freedom, and choice into a world of the virtues of hierarchy - the eroticized analogues of religious submission. The novel is driven forward by a downward spiral in which O seeks to surrender herself to …

Semiotics, Analogical Legal Reasoning, And The Cf. Citation: Getting Our Signals Uncrossed, Ira P. Robbins
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
The Bluebook’s introductory citation signals are essential to effective legal discourse. The choice of signal can influence not only the interpretation of cited cases, but also the path of the law. In this Article, Professor Ira Robbins examines one commonly used signal: the cf. After exploring its semiotic function, he details the multitude of ways in which this signal has been used and misused. He argues that lawyers’ and judges’ careless use of the cf. leads to confusing and often incoherent developments in the law, and concludes by proposing a precise working definition for this irksome, but potentially powerful, citation …

Family Law And Gay And Lesbian Family Issues In The Twentieth Century, Nancy Polikoff, David Chambers
Family Law And Gay And Lesbian Family Issues In The Twentieth Century, Nancy Polikoff, David Chambers
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Over the past thirty years, lesbians and gay men have increasingly challenged conventional definitions of marriage and the family. In this brief article, the authors tell the story of gay people and family law in the United States across this period. They divide their discussion into two sections: issues regarding the recognition of the same-sex couple relationship and issues regarding gay men and lesbians as parents. These issues overlap, of course, but since family law discussions commonly treat adult-adult issues of all sorts separately from parent-child issues, the authors believe it convenient and helpful to do so as well.

Gender In The Construction Of The Lawyer’S Persona (Review Essay), Susan Carle
Feminist Scholarship
INTRODUCTION The overarching question motivating this Review Essay is whether- and, if so, in what ways-we should understand lawyering roles to be gendered. I examine this question by reviewing Kathryn Kish Sklar's recent biography of Florence Kelley, an early "public interest" lawyer and social activist whom Felix Frankfurter described as the woman who had "the largest single share in shaping the social history of the United States during the first thirty years of this century." Sklar's meticulous research provides us with new information about a dimension of Kelley's life that is overshadowed by Kelley's public persona as a social reformer …

Precedent-Setting Ngo Campaign Saves The World Bank's Inspection Panel, Daniel D. Bradlow
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This article, after describing the stakes in the ongoing debate about the operating procedures of the World Bank's Inspection Panel (Panel), explains the causes of this controversy. Thereafter it discusses the evolution of the proposal of the Working Group of the Bank's Board of Directors to correct the problems in the Panel's operating procedures. It suggests that, if the Board has the political will to adopt it, the final proposal of the Working Group has the potential to create a Panel procedure that is effective, independent, and impartial. The reason for this possibility is that the Bank, in an innovative …
Managed Health Care In Prisons As Cruel And Unusual Punishment, Ira Robbins
Managed Health Care In Prisons As Cruel And Unusual Punishment, Ira Robbins
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INTRODUCTION:Billy Roberts, a prisoner in an Alabama state prison, had a history of severe psychiatric disorders. He was often put on suicide watch, and received large doses of psychotropic drugs. A managed health care company, Correctional Medical Services (CMS), was responsible for the health care at the prison. After Roberts had a suicidal episode, CMS's statewide mental health care director reportedly put Roberts in an isolation cell rather than a psychiatric care unit. The mental health care director also ordered that Roberts' medication be discontinued pursuant to an alleged policy of CMS to get as many prisoners off psycho- tropic …

Empirical Methods In Antitrust Litigation: Review And Critique, Jonathan Baker, Daniel Rubinfeld
Empirical Methods In Antitrust Litigation: Review And Critique, Jonathan Baker, Daniel Rubinfeld
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
The use of empirical methods in antitrust has been growing at an exponential rate. It is now commonplace for multiple regression and other statistical methods to be utilized in merger cases, especially those involving predictions of the price increases that may result from the strategic decisions of the merging firms. These methods are also prominently employed in civil nonmerger investigations by the federal antitrust enforcement agencies (including price fixing, monopolization, and exclusive dealing cases) and in private litigation (including damage claims and class action suits). This article surveys the methodologies that have been used and the range of questions that …

Econometric Analysis In Ftc V. Staples, Jonathan Baker
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
In mid-1997, a federal district court in Washington, DC, granted the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC's) request for a preliminary injunction blocking the proposed merger of Staples and Office Depot (Federal Trade Commission v. Staples, Inc. [hereafter, Staples] 1997a). The transaction would have combined two of the nation's three leading office superstore chains. The firms chose not to pursue the case further after the preliminary injunction was issued, thus giving up on their efforts to merge.
Policy Watch: Developments In Antitrust Economics, Jonathan Baker
Policy Watch: Developments In Antitrust Economics, Jonathan Baker
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
During the late 1970s and 1980s, the federal courts transformed antitrust rules and the federal enforcement agencies altered their case selection criteria in response to theories developed by industrial organization economists. These developments in economic thinking, often associated with the Chicago school, led current antitrust law and practice toward a greater skepticism about the relationship between market concentration and market power and a greater recognition of the possible efficiency-enhancing role of vertical agreements (contracts between firms and their customers or suppliers) than was present in the 1950s and 1960s.This survey will begin where those developments leave off by highlighting more …
