Non-Economic Objectives And The Efficiency Properties Of Trade, Jagdish N. Bhagwati

Faculty Scholarship

It is well known (Kemp, 1962; Samuelson, 1962; Bhagwati, forthcoming) that, for a country with no monopoly power in trade (or domestic distortions), free trade (in the sense of a policy resulting in the equalization of domestic and foreign prices and hence excluding trade, production and consumption taxes, subsidies, and quantitative restrictions) is the optimal policy. It follows, therefore, that free trade is superior to no trade.

It has also been argued recently (Kemp, 1962), that, even in the case where there is monopoly power in trade, so that both no trade and free trade are suboptimal policies, it is …

Prolonging Life, George P. Fletcher

Faculty Scholarship

A physician decides not to prolong the life of a terminal patient. What are the legal consequences? Is it murder, akin to a gunman's pulling the trigger? Or is the law more sensitive? Professor Fletcher proposes that a decision to interrupt life-sustaining therapy, such as that to turn off a mechanical respirator, should be classified as an omission, not an act. He arrives at this conclusion by analyzing the common sense usages of "cause" and "permit." If the decision is an omission then the law must focus on the doctor-patient relationship to define legal consequences, allowing customary standards of the …

Wiretapping And Bugging: Striking A Balance Between Privacy And Law Enforcement, Kent Greenawalt

Faculty Scholarship

The conflict between individual privacy and the needs of law enforcement occurs at a number of points in our system of criminal justice. It is not unique to wiretapping and electronic eavesdropping, but the competing claims in that area do have their own special character. They are qualitatively different from those in regard to, say, confessions. The kinds of crimes and criminals affected are different, as are the relevant assertions about individual freedom.

Law enforcement officials, almost to a man, consider wiretapping and eavesdropping valuable weapons in the fight against crime. They are most helpful in regard to consensual crimes …

Review Of H.L.A. Hart, The Morality Of The Criminal Law, Oxford University Press (1965), Stanley Z. Fisher

Faculty Scholarship

This slim volume contains the text of two lectures given by Professor Hart at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1964. The first lecture, "Changing Conceptions of Responsibility," expresses concern at the turn in which the "liberal" criminal law reform movement in England has taken in connection with the law of criminal responsibility. Professor Hart takes issue with the stand of a leading reformer, Lady Wootton, who advocates abolition of the mens rea prerequisite to penal liability. In her view, the mental state of a harm-doer is relevant not to determining his penal liability (conviction), but only to the decision …

An Introduction To Commercial Law, Frederick M. Hart, William F. Willier

Faculty Scholarship

These materials are designed as a short introductory text on Commercial Law. Difficult problems are intentionally avoided, as are references to cases and legal periodicals. The bibliography contains a selection of texts that explore the Code more thoroughly and offer an avenue into the case law that is quickly developing under the Uniform Commercial Code. This introductory text should be useful to the student who is approaching Commercial Law for the first time and as a quick reference (or quick review) for those who have had experience with the subject. This text is used by the authors to complement a …

Constitutional Law, Kent Greenawalt

Faculty Scholarship

In the last thirty years, the equal protection clause has been largely transformed. Once a point of reference for courts striking down schemes of economic regulation which they regarded as unreasonable or unwise, it is now primarily a source of constitutional standards in the areas of civil rights, reapportionment, and rights of indigents accused of crime. These standards are of immense legal and social consequence. Since the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Educ. their development-characterized by Professor Philip B. Kurland as "the rise of egalitarianism" – has been paralleled by an increasing attention to the claims of equality …

Involuntary Confessions And Article 35, Criminal Procedure Code, Stanley Z. Fisher

Faculty Scholarship

Improper methods of police interrogation are known to every country in the world. And everywhere, it is agreed that an accused's confession of guilt which has been procured through physical violence, psychological intimidation, or improper inducements or promises cannot be considered in evidence against him at trial. The primary reason why involuntary confessions are excluded from evidence is that they are unreliable indices of truth; men have been known to admit crimes of which they are innocent, simply to escape the pain of torture or to obtain an irresistible benefit.

Some Aspects Of Ethiopian Arrest Law: The Eclectic Approach To Codification, Stanley Z. Fisher

Faculty Scholarship

The Criminal Procedure Code of 1961 is one of Ethiopia's most recent codes, and one of the least "developed" in terms of published commentary and reported cases. In contrast to the "introduced" and "explained" Penal and Civil Codes, the Criminal Procedure Code has apparently been disowned by its drafters, none of whom have written a word of commentary on it. Its origins remain obscure, and at first glance it is difficult to see which, if any, "system" was its inspiration. In fact, it seems, the Code has roots in no single system, nor even in any single "family" of systems. …

Buy American, Michael S. Baram

Faculty Scholarship

The role of American technology in the Western Alliance has recently become a much-discussed issue. As should have been apparent long ago, this technology is the basis for America's economic dominance of the Alliance and, therefore, for its military and political dominance as well. This connection between technological and political supremacy has only recently received the public discussion it deserves, largely as a result of the economic hardships facing the British airframe and shipbuilding industries.'

Criminal Law And Procedure, Henry Paul Monaghan

Faculty Scholarship

§12.1 Introduction. The recent decisions of the United States Supreme Court in the area of criminal procedure have begun to have a considerable impact upon litigation in the Massachusetts courts; indeed, for at least the second successive year the major emphasis of the Supreme Judicial Court's criminal law opinions centered upon considerations of "criminal due process." On the whole, the Court demonstrated an admirable concern for protecting the requirements of a fair trial. However, in at least two significant areas its decisions are open to considerable question: (1) in a series of opinions the Court confined the admittedly unclear …

Obscenity, 1966: The Marriage Of Obscenity Per Se And Obscenity Per Quod, Henry Paul Monaghan

Faculty Scholarship

In a widely admired article, Harry Kalven argued that the New York Times case embodies the "central meaning" of the First Amendment. On his view, in a free, open society, maximum protection must be accorded to "political" speech. He concluded that the right freely to criticize the government must lie at the center of any adequate theory of the First Amendment.

It is not so easy to make a comparable claim about the relationship between obscenity and the First Amendment. The Supreme Court's conception of obscenity is partially responsible. While the Court in Roth v. United States (1957) explicitly barred …

Vice Presidential Succession: In Support Of The Bayh-Celler Plan , John D. Feerick

Faculty Scholarship

In the April, 1965, issue of the South Carolina Law Review there appeared an article by Professor George D. Haimbaugh, Jr., entitled "Vice Presidential Succession: A Criticism of the Bayh-Cellar [sic] Plan."' Professor Haimbaugh sought to demonstrate what he claimed was the "unreality" of certain arguments advanced in favor of the vice presidential succession feature of the proposed twenty-fifth amendment to the Constitution. The arguments to which he addressed himself were "that this constitutional change is urgently needed, that the presidential initiative is necessary to insure continuity of executive policy, and that the requirements of congressional ratification will secure a …

Some Ruminations About Remedies In Consumer-Credit Transactions , Carl Felsenfeld

Faculty Scholarship

The draftsmen of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code (herein- after the Credit Code) have thus far directed most of their time and effort to establishing a permissive pattern within which creditors give and debtors receive credit. Spokesmen for both sides, as well as distinguished neutral parties, have carefully described the terms under which credit may be granted, the rates that may be charged, and many other elements of the credit transaction. These statutory requirements will significantly influence the size and scope of the debtor community and will undoubtedly set the future pattern for consumer-credit transactions. Thus, these permissive, or authorizing, …
