God, Civic Virtue, And The American Way: Reconstructing Engel, Corinna Barrett Lain
God, Civic Virtue, And The American Way: Reconstructing Engel, Corinna Barrett Lain

If ever a decision embodied the heroic, counter majoritarian function we romantically ascribe to judicial review, it was the 1962 decision that struck down school prayer-Engel v. Vitale. Engel provoked more outrage, more congres- sionalattemptsto overturnit, andmoreattackson theJusticesthanperhapsany other decision in Supreme Court history. Indeed, Engel's counter majoritarian narrative is so strong that scholars have largely assumed that the historical record supports our romanticized conception of the case.Itdoesnot. Usingprimary source materials, this Article reconstructs the story of Engel, then explores the implicationsof this reconstructednarrative. Engel is not the countermajoritarian case it seems, but recognizing that allows us to see Engel …

Reading Amendments And Expansions Of Title Vii Narrowly, Henry L. Chambers, Jr.
Reading Amendments And Expansions Of Title Vii Narrowly, Henry L. Chambers, Jr.
Law Faculty Publications

The Court’s approach to Title VII expansions may merely indicate that the Court believes that such statutory alterations should be read only as broadly as necessary to effectuate their purposes. However, regardless of why the Court has interpreted these expansions narrowly, that the Court has done so suggests that Congress ought to consider carefully how it amends or expands Title VII in …
In The Beginning There Was None: Supreme Court Review Of State Criminal Prosecutions, Kevin C. Walsh
In The Beginning There Was None: Supreme Court Review Of State Criminal Prosecutions, Kevin C. Walsh
Law Faculty Publications
This Article challenges the unquestioned assumption of all contemporary scholars of federal jurisdiction that section 25 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 authorized Supreme Court appellate review of state criminal prosecutions. Section 25 has long been thought to be one of the most important provisions of the most important jurisdictional statute enacted by Congress. The Judiciary Act of 1789 gave concrete institutional shape to a federal judiciary only incompletely defined by Article III. And section 25 supplied a key piece of the structural relationship between the previously existing state court systems and the new federal court system that Congress constructed …
