Lawyering Askew: Excesses In The Pursuit Of Fees And Justice, Kenneth Lasson
Lawyering Askew: Excesses In The Pursuit Of Fees And Justice, Kenneth Lasson
All Faculty Scholarship
Lawyer-bashing in America has long been a national pastime, having somehow escaped the palliative of political correctness that has greatly diminished other scurrilous pursuits like Jewish-American-Princess-baiting and Polish-joking.
Much of the profession's negative image can be ascribed to the sheer number of people hanging out their shingles as attorneys at law - just about as many per capita as there are inmates currently serving time in all the state prisons. Lawyers are likewise chastised for the hard-sell hucksterism of their advertising, the exponential growth of their caseloads, and the endless upward spiral of their fee scales. No doubt such perceptions, …

Beyond Chicago: Will Activist Antitrust Arise Again?, Robert H. Lande
Beyond Chicago: Will Activist Antitrust Arise Again?, Robert H. Lande
All Faculty Scholarship
There is no need to document the revolution in antitrust that occurred in large part as a result of the rise of the Chicago school of antitrust and the Republicans' 1980 election victory. Now that the Democrats are back in office a natural question arises: Will there be a counterrevolution? What are the chances of significantly more aggressive antitrust in the near future?

The Public Interest And The Unconstitutionality Of Private Prosecutors, John Bessler
The Public Interest And The Unconstitutionality Of Private Prosecutors, John Bessler
All Faculty Scholarship
This article discusses the history of private and public prosecution in the United States, including standards governing prosecutorial ethics. It argues that the use of private prosecutors is unethical and violative of defendants' constitutional rights. In particular, the article asserts that the use of such prosecutors violates due process principles and creates, at the very least, an unacceptable appearance of impropriety. The article contends that the public's interest in not having its members erroneously charged or convicted in the criminal process outweighs an interested party's right to retain a private prosecutor as set forth in some state laws. In addition …
The First Amendment And Fcc Rule Making Under The 1992 Cable Act, Michael I. Meyerson
The First Amendment And Fcc Rule Making Under The 1992 Cable Act, Michael I. Meyerson
All Faculty Scholarship
This Article explores the First Amendment implications of the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) regulations issued under the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 19921 (1992 Cable Act). The 1992 Cable Act imposes numerous requirements that are beyond the scope of this Article. This Article analyzes only the FCC's exercise of rule making discretion under the 1992 Cable Act.
Additionally, it must be remembered that an under-staffed FCC was given an enormous amount of work to do within fixed time limits. Therefore, it must be expected that the rulemaking would be vulnerable to second-guessing. Nonetheless, whenever a governmental entity …
Civil Justice Reform In The United States — Opportunity For Learning From 'Civilized' European Procedure Instead Of Continued Isolation?, Ernst C. Stiefel, James Maxeiner
Civil Justice Reform In The United States — Opportunity For Learning From 'Civilized' European Procedure Instead Of Continued Isolation?, Ernst C. Stiefel, James Maxeiner
All Faculty Scholarship
This article reports on present and past efforts at civil justice reform in the United States and assesses the opportunities for learning from Continental models. European jurists have long urged that their American colleagues consider using continental approaches in dealing with the serious problems that afflict the American system of civil justice. A few years back, our colleague Kötz noted that "If there is a desire to reform American civil procedure, either by making changes within the adversary system or by developing alternative methods of dispute resolution, the Continental experience may be well worth studying."
