Point/Counterpoint: A Debate On Irony And Interpretation, Richard Lempert, Peter Westen
Point/Counterpoint: A Debate On Irony And Interpretation, Richard Lempert, Peter Westen
Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)
Can irony play a role in the construction of statutes? In the following articles, legal scholars Richard Lempert and Peter Westen debate the point, taking, as their context, the Supreme Court decision in United Steelworkers v. Weber, a 1979 affirmative action case that brings to the fore the moral dilemmas posed by such programs.
Professor Lempert's initial article originally appeared in Ethics 95 (October 1984), published by the University of Chicago Press. Professor Westen's response, and Lempert's rejoinder to it, were written especially for Law Quadrangle Notes.

The Emergence Of A General Reformation Doctrine For Wills, Lawrence W. Waggoner, John H. Langbein
Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)
Although it has been axiomatic that our courts do not entertain suits to reform wills on the ground of mistake, appellate courts in New York, Michigan, New Jersey, and California have decided cases within the last several years that may presage the abandonment of the ancient "no-reformation" rule. (In re Snide, 52 N.Y.2d 193, 418 N.E.2d 656, 437 N.Y.S.2d 63 (1981); Estate of Kremlick, 331 N.W.2d 228 (Mich. 1983); Engle v. Siegel, 74 N.J. 287, 377 A.2d 892 (1977); and Estate of Taff, 63 Cal.

What Do Tax Limitation Votes Mean?, Daniel Rubinfeld, Paul N. Courant, Edward M. Gramlich
Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)
In response to the tax limitation movement which received national attention with the passage of California's Proposition 13 and which gave rise to a slate of tax limitation referends on the Michigan ballot in 1978, we began a theoretical and empirical study of the relationship between the size of state and local governing units and issues in public finance.

Jury Size And The Peremptory Challenge, Richard Lempert
Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)
The article was orginally submitted jointly with Dr. Jay Schulman as prepared testimony to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Improvement of Judicial Machinery. The subcommittee was considering Senate Bill 2074, an omnibus bill which would have required all United States District Courts to switch from twelve to six member juries in civil cases and would have decreased the number of available peremptory challenges in civil cases from three to two. Upon completion of the hearings on this bill, these provisions were deleted from the version sent to the full Committee. It should be noted that most District Courts by local …

The Cost Of Equality: Civil Rights During Periods Of Economic Stress, Harry T. Edwards
Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)
Many minority workers, only recently hired under affirmative action programs, have been laid off during the present recession under "last hired, first fired " seniority systems. Thus it has been claimed that the gains in equal opportunity employment that have been made over the last ten years are in danger of being lost through layoffs in the recession of the '70's.
