Civil Rights Without Remedies: Vicarious Liability Under Title Vii, Section 1983, And Title Ix, Catherine Fisk, Erwin Chemerinsky Jan 1999

Civil Rights Without Remedies: Vicarious Liability Under Title Vii, Section 1983, And Title Ix, Catherine Fisk, Erwin Chemerinsky

Faculty Scholarship

The Supreme Court has taken an inconsistent approach to allowing vicarious liability under major civil rights statutes. In recent cases, the Court has permitted qualified vicarious liability for supervisor's sexual harrassment under Title VII, but rejected vicarious liability under Title IX. Earlier, the Court rejected vicarious liability for local governements sued under Section 1983. In this Article, Professors Fisk and Chemerinsky describe the Court's inconsistent approaches and arge that they cannot be justified by the text or legislative history of these statutes. Professors Fisk and Chemerinsky argue that each of these statutes is meant to achieve the same purpose, deterring …


Sen And The Hart Of Jurisprudence: A Critique Of The Economic Analysis Of Judicial Behavior, Neil S. Siegel Jan 1999

Sen And The Hart Of Jurisprudence: A Critique Of The Economic Analysis Of Judicial Behavior, Neil S. Siegel

Faculty Scholarship

This Comment argues that economic analysis provides an inadequate account of judicial behavior because economic models are incompatible with a jurisprudence that recognizes basic rule-of-law values. Whereas standard economic theory is committed to thinking of a judge as exclusively self-interested, two fundamental problems with this conception exist. First, as application of Amariya Sen's critique of the behavioral foundations of economic theory to judicial behavior reveals, the decision of a judge who meets her judicial obligations may fail to maximize her self-interest. Second, even if the self-interest-maximizing decision coincides with the behavior that her judicial obligations require; economic models still fail …

Forum Shopping For Human Rights, Laurence R. Helfer Jan 1999

Forum Shopping For Human Rights, Laurence R. Helfer

Faculty Scholarship

The article analyzes a growing trend in international human rights law: the submission of petitions by aggrieved individuals to multiple human rights courts, tribunals, or treaty bodies, each of which is authorized to review the petition and to determine whether the individuals? rights have been violated. Most commentators have viewed this practice of "forum shopping for human rights" as a danger to be avoided. This article questions that conventional wisdom and offers in its place a re-envisioning of the human rights petition system. Although efficiency, finality and other concerns weigh against some varieties of duplicative review, this article argues that …

When Corporate Managers Fear A Good Thing Is Coming To An End: The Case Of Interim Nondisclosure, Mitu Gulati Jan 1999

When Corporate Managers Fear A Good Thing Is Coming To An End: The Case Of Interim Nondisclosure, Mitu Gulati

Faculty Scholarship

Every public offering of securities is necessarily made some time during a fiscal quarter. Companies are obliged to disclose fall quarter operating results, but their obligations regarding the as-yet-incomplete quarter remain unclear. In this Article, Professor Mitu Gulati tackles both the normative question of whether companies doing offerings should be required to disclose their unripe information concerning the current quarter and the doctrinal question of whether such an obligation already exists within the framework of disclosure duties. The Article concludes that, while market forces and regulatory requirements operate to solve the interim nondisclosure problem in the majority of cases, there …

The Police-Ization Of The Military, Charles J. Dunlap Jr. Jan 1999

The Police-Ization Of The Military, Charles J. Dunlap Jr.

Faculty Scholarship

This essay will briefly review the background of the use of the armed forces in a police capacity, discuss the growth of that role in the I980s and 1990s, and forecast an even greater expansion into that role in the near future due to the emerging threat of "catastrophic terrorism." It will contend that this increased reliance on military resources for policing is not in the interest of either the armed forces or the public. Finally, it will make some observations with a view towards minimizing the dangers of police-ization of the military while ensuring the Nation's public safety.

Preemption At Sea, Ernest A. Young Jan 1999

Preemption At Sea, Ernest A. Young

Faculty Scholarship

Although Erie Railroad v. Tompkins put an end to the "general federal common law," a form of general common law lives on in admiralty. The interaction of that law with state regulatory authority in maritime cases has given rise to one of the thorniest questions in federal courts law -- the problem of maritime preemption. Because admiralty law remains largely a "brooding omnipresence over the sea," maritime preemption affords a unique opportunity to explore the implications of both pre- and post-Erie approaches to judge-made law for our modern system of federalism. In this article, Professor Young proposes that the present …
