Restraining The Hand Of Law: A Conceptual Framework To Shrink The Size Of Law, Bryan H. Druzin Dec 2013

Restraining The Hand Of Law: A Conceptual Framework To Shrink The Size Of Law, Bryan H. Druzin

Bryan H. Druzin

There is a fierce ideological struggle between two warring camps: those who rally against expansive government and those who support it. Clearly, the correct balance must be struck between the extremes of legislative over-invasiveness and the frightening total absence of legal structure. This paper articulates a framework that allows for legislative parsimony—a way to scale back state law in a way that avoids lurching to unnecessary extremes. I assume the libertarian premise that law should strive to encroach as minimally as possible upon social order, yet I argue that we must do this in a highly selective fashion, employing a …

Opening The Machinery Of Private Order: Public International Law As A Form Of Private Ordering, Bryan H. Druzin Dec 2013

Opening The Machinery Of Private Order: Public International Law As A Form Of Private Ordering, Bryan H. Druzin

Does Undrip Matter?: Indian Law In The United States And The International Right To Self-Determination, Kevin Crow Dec 2013

Does Undrip Matter?: Indian Law In The United States And The International Right To Self-Determination, Kevin Crow

Kevin Crow

The United States has recognised the sovereignty of Indigenous tribal nations within the United States since the early 1800s and has explicitly recognised a right to self-determination for Indigenous peoples of the United States since the 1970s.The exact nature of this right, however, has been the focus of much scholarly debate both in the United States and around the world. Erosions in the nature of U.S. tribal sovereignty since the early 1980s coupled with an accelerating development of the international principle of self-determination call the extent and nature of Indian self-determination into question. Accordingly, this paper seeks to explore three …
