The Law Of Nature And The Early History Of Unenumerated Rights In The United States, Richard H. Helmholz Jan 2007

The Law Of Nature And The Early History Of Unenumerated Rights In The United States, Richard H. Helmholz

Articles

This Paper seeks to make a modest contribution to the topic of unenumerated rights in American constitutional law by examining the role that natural law played in our legal system at the time of the founding of the Republic-a period here taken, largely for the sake of convenience, to run from the 1 7 90s through the 1820s. The Paper's focus is on case law, rather than legal theory or constitutional doctrine, although I have tried to say enough about the law of nature as it was understood at the time to put the cases into their intellectual context. Whether …


Technology, Information, And Bankruptcy, Douglas G. Baird Jan 2007

Technology, Information, And Bankruptcy, Douglas G. Baird

Articles

Financial innovations, spurred by the growth of information technology, have transformed the consumer lending industry. Today lenders have unfettered access to a wider spectrum of borrowers and are better able to assess the likelihood that these borrowers will repay the debt they incur. Consequently, the level of consumer household debt has risen dramatically in the past three decades, and will continue to rise, which will lead naturally to an increase in bankruptcy filings. Although our initial intuition tells us that bankruptcies are bad, the author advances the idea that this development is inevitable and that instead of focusing on amending …

Against Irreparable Benefits, Omri Ben-Shahar

Articles

The conventional approach to preliminary relief focuses on irreparable harm but entirely neglects irreparable benefits. That is hard to understand. Errant irreversible harms are important because they distort incentives and have lasting distributional con

If People Would Be Outraged By Their Rulings, Should Judges Care, Cass R. Sunstein Jan 2007

If People Would Be Outraged By Their Rulings, Should Judges Care, Cass R. Sunstein

Articles

At first glance, judicial anticipation of public outrage and its effects seems incompatible with judicial independence. Nonetheless, judges might be affected by the prospect of outrage for both consequentialist and epistemic reasons. If a judicial ruling would undermine the cause that it is meant to promote or impose serious social harms, judges might have reason to hesitate on consequentialist grounds. The prospect ofpublic outrage might also suggest that the court's ruling would be incorrect on the merits; if most people disagree with the court's decision, perhaps the court is wrong. Those who adopt a method of constitutional interpretation on consequentialist …

Property And Half-Torts, Lee Anne Fennell Jan 2007

Property And Half-Torts, Lee Anne Fennell

Articles

The idea that a tort can be split analytically into two parts -risk and harm- underlies a great deal of torts scholarship. Yet the notion has been all but ignored by property scholars employing Calabresi and Melamed's famous entitlement framework. Thus, i
