In Pursuit Of Excellence -- A History Of The University Of Minnesota Law School, Part Vi: The Auerbach Years -- A Time Of Building, Controversy And Frustration, Robert Stein
Articles
When William B. Lockhart resigned from the deanship of the University of Minnesota Law School in June 1972, a productive sixteen-year tenure came to an end. Guided in the early years by the recommendations of the 1955 Law School Self-Survey, Lockhart and his faculty achieved significant success in improving the school's relationship with the bar, in revitalizing the educational program, in improving the quality of the student body, and in maintaining the quality of the faculty. In the later years of his tenure, the law school successfully responded, under Lockhart's leadership, to a variety of challenges presented in the turbulence …

Primary Line Injury Under The Robinson-Patman Act: The Development Of Standards And Erosion Of Enforcement, Daniel J. Gifford
Articles
In the past it has been a most common practice of great and powerful combinations engaged in commerce-notably the Standard Oil Co., and the American Tobacco Co., and others of less notoriety, but of great in-fluence-to lower prices of their commodities, oftentimes below the cost of production in certain communities and sections where they had competition, with the intent to destroy and make unprofitable the busi-ness of their competitors, and with the ultimate purpose in view of thereby acquiring a monopoly in the particular locality or section in which the discriminating price is made. Every concern that engages in this …
In Pursuit Of Excellence -- A History Of The University Of Minnesota Law School, Part I: The Pattee Years -- A Time Of Accommodation, Robert Stein
Articles
In September 1888, William S. Pattee, the newly elected dean of the University of Minnesota's infant law department,' began, with the help of lecturers from the practicing bars of Minneapolis and St. Paul, to educate some 67 '"young gentlemen of zeal and promise' 2 in the law. Ninety years later, the University of Minnesota Law School continues this mission, with 62 full-or part-time faculty members, for the benefit of about 750 students. During this period, the school has been shaped by the administrations of six deans, has conferred over 7,500 J.D. or LL.B. degrees,3 has affected the lives of many …

In Pursuit Of Excellence -- A History Of The University Of Minnesota Law School, Part Ii: The Vance Years -- A Time Of Ascendancy, Robert Stein
Articles
The first article in this series described the first two decades of the University of Minnesota Law School as a period marked by an accommodating and cautious regime.' The next decade, in contrast, was marked by a demanding and ambitious administration whose reforms altered the face of the school at a pace that remains unparalleled in the history of the institution. The first dean, William S. Pattee, had provided a firm foundation for legal education at the University but had sometimes compromised the quality of his vision because of the exigencies of the moment.
United States Ratification Of The Human Rights Covenants, David Weissbrodt
United States Ratification Of The Human Rights Covenants, David Weissbrodt
Articles
On October 5, 1977, President Carter signed the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, I and the Interna- tional Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.2 On that day, the Presi- dent promised to promptly transmit the two treaties to the Senate for ratification. In so doing, he drew a parallel between the "lofty standard of liberty and equality" embodied in the American Declara- tion of Independence and the principles of international human rights reflected in the United Nations Charter. 3

DRAWING ON SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH AND EMPIRICAL EVALUATIONS OF JUDICIAL WAIVER ADMINISTRATION IN MINNESOTA AND ELSEWHERE, IT IS ARGUED THAT JUDICIAL WAIVER STATUTES REQUIRE JUVENILE COURTS TO MAKE INDIVIDUALIZED DETERMINATIONS AS TO A YOUTH'S AMENABILITY TO TREATMENT AND THE DANGER TO SOCIETY POSED BY THE YOUTH'S RETENTION WITHIN THE JUVENILE SYSTEM THAT, USING CURRENT METHODS OF CLINICAL PREDICTION, SIMPLY CANNOT BE MADE WITH AN ACCEPTABLE DEGREE OF ACCURACY. HOWEVER, IT IS BELIEVED THAT ACTUARIAL METHODS BASED ON PRESENT OFFENSE AND PAST RECORD CAN BE USED TO IDENTIFY IN ROUGH TERMS THOSE JUVENILES LIKELY TO RECIDIVATE AND, ACCORDINGLY, POSE A THREAT …
Human Rights Legislation And U.S. Foreign Policy, David Weissbrodt
Human Rights Legislation And U.S. Foreign Policy, David Weissbrodt
Articles
I do not say that we can remake the world in our own image. I recognize the limits on our power, and I do not wish to see us swing from one extreme of cynical manipulation to the other extreme of moralistic zeal, which can be just as dangerous. But the present administration has been so obsessed with balance of power politics that it has often ignored basic American values and a proper concern for human rights. The leaders of this administration have rationalized that there is little room for morality in foreign affairs, and that we must put self-interest …

Protecting The Mentally Retarded: An Empirical Survey And Evaluation Of The Establishment Of State Guardianship In Minnesota, Robert Levy
Articles
Minnesota's program of state guardianship has gained national attention in the search for devices to protect and care for mentally deficient and epileptic persons. While not finally assessing the actual supervision of wards by the state commissioner of public welfare, this report scrutinizes the standards and procedures uti- lized by the probate courts and welfare departments in establishing guardianship. This article stresses the need for reform of current practices to ensure proper coopera- tion between judicial and behavioral authorities, and to ensure proper safeguards for the individual rights of per- sons who may be subjected to governmental authority. Likewise, the …

The Perilous Necessity: Nonlegal Materials In A Family Law Course, Robert Levy
Articles
Even the most casual observer should be aware that we are living through a period of intense interest by law professors in the behavioral sciences. No volume of the Journalof Legal Education is published without at least one essay on a law school program, a design for cooperative research or a criticism of the lawyers for paying no heed to their more scientific brethren. A review of A.A.I.S. convention agendas would indicate, I am sure, very few meetings without some discussion of "Law and the Behavioral Sciences."' The interest manifests itself in a variety of ways, 'but nowhere more actively, …
Some Thoughts On "Antitrust Policy" And The Antitrust Community, Robert Levy
Some Thoughts On "Antitrust Policy" And The Antitrust Community, Robert Levy
Articles
In this article, ProfessorLevy uses a recent book recom- mending extensive changes in the antitrust laws as a springboardfor discussion of one of the most complex and difficult problems of antitrustadministration:the lack of competition in the "concentrated,"or oligopolistic,in- dustries. The author suggests that reform through legis- lation is probably impossible because of the current cli- mate of opinion and the effectiveness of numerous anti- trust "hucksters"-laivyers and businessmen who fre- quently sacrifice accuracy and objectivity in pursuing re- sults they favor. ProfessorLevy suggests a new interpre- tation of the present Sherman Act to avoid the difficul- ties of legislative modification.His …
