Public Service Law: Privatization’S Unexpected Offspring, Tony Prosser
Public Service Law: Privatization’S Unexpected Offspring, Tony Prosser
Law and Contemporary Problems
What has occurred in the United Kingdom is a move toward the development of a body of legal doctrine closer to the concept of public service enshrined in other European legal systems. Prosser asserts that it has been largely due to the creation of regulators independent of government and enterprise, thus making some legal framework to structure relations inevitable.

Constitutional Approaches To Privatization: An Inquiry Into The Magnitude Of Neo-Liberal Constitutionalism, David Schneiderman
Law and Contemporary Problems
Schneiderman discusses whether constitutional rules in the state capitalist mode that redistribute property ownership more widely can survive the pressures generated by the neo-liberal model of constitutionalism.

Taxing The Market Citizen: Fiscal Policy And Inequality In An Age Of Privatization, Lisa Philipps
Taxing The Market Citizen: Fiscal Policy And Inequality In An Age Of Privatization, Lisa Philipps
Law and Contemporary Problems
Focusing on Canada, Philipps argues that recent efforts to revise important facets of the income tax system are best understood through the lens of privatization. By promoting personal responsibility, the tax code is contributing to the erosion of the ideal of social citizenship and replacing it with a new model of market citizenship.
Liberalization And Democratization: The Forum And The Hearth In The Era Of Cosmopolitan Post-Industrial Capitalism, Sol Picciotto
Liberalization And Democratization: The Forum And The Hearth In The Era Of Cosmopolitan Post-Industrial Capitalism, Sol Picciotto
Law and Contemporary Problems
Rather than the desire for economic liberalization bringing about political democratization, the struggles against autocracy have created an opening for economic liberalization. While undermining partriarchy and hierarchy, anti-authoritarian movements have also paved the way for post-industrial capitalism, with its emphasis on information management, flexible working conditions, and a global outlook.

The Constitutional Failure Of The Strickland Standard In Capital Cases Under The Eighth Amendment, Amy R. Murphy
Law and Contemporary Problems
Criminal defendants are guaranteed the right to effective assistance of counsel under the Sixth Amendment, but the Supreme Court's decision in "Strickland" has given appellate courts overly broad discretion to determine exactly what constitutes ineffective assistance of counsel. Murphy reviews the right to counsel and discusses the crucial role of counsel in capital cases throughout the trial and appellate processes.

Constitutionalism In The Shadow Of Doctrine: The President’S Non-Enforcement Power, David Barron
Constitutionalism In The Shadow Of Doctrine: The President’S Non-Enforcement Power, David Barron
Law and Contemporary Problems
Barron challenges the court-centered approach to the scope of the President's non-enforcement power. He contends that a President, notwithstanding that he considers himself bound by the Supreme Court's constitutional interpretations, should resolve three distinct questions in determining whether he may faithfully decline to enforce a statute by virtue of its unconstitutionality.
The President And Choices Not To Enforce, Peter L. Strauss
The President And Choices Not To Enforce, Peter L. Strauss

Strauss explores the context of executive non-enforcement in a broad way that may help in understanding situations in which the President believes a particular statute is inconsistent with one or another provision of the Constitution and, therefore, should not be enforced.
When A King Speaks Of God; When God Speaks To A King: Faith, Politics, Tax Exempt Status, And The Constitution In The Clinton Administration, Randy Lee
Law and Contemporary Problems
In considering the guidance the executive branch of government has provided to resolve questions relating to religious freedom and the issue of church and state, Lee draws upon the positions of both the IRS and the President. Initially, he concludes that when the state requires churches committed to speaking truth in the public square to choose between publicizing their beliefs and remaining tax-exempt, it burdens the free exercise of religion.

Presidential Non-Enforcement Of Constitutionally Objectionable Statutes, Dawn E. Johnsen
Presidential Non-Enforcement Of Constitutionally Objectionable Statutes, Dawn E. Johnsen
Law and Contemporary Problems

The Clinton Administration And War Powers, Lori Fisler Damrosch
The Clinton Administration And War Powers, Lori Fisler Damrosch
Law and Contemporary Problems
Damrosch compares the record of the Clinton Administration with those of its predecessors, after first briefly locating US war powers practice in the context of crossnational comparisons. Pres Clinton has been more respectful of Congress's constitutional role than either Pres Reagan or Pres Bush, yet less successful in persuading Congress to exercise the responsibility that goes along with the claim of constitutional power.

A Report Card On The Impeachment: Judging The Institutions That Judged President Clinton, Susan Low Bloch
Law and Contemporary Problems
Reflecting on the impeachment and trial of Pres Bill Clinton, Bloch considers how well the impeachment process worked and what was learned from the experience that might be a guide in the event of another impeachment in the future. Any critique of the impeachment process should begin with the independent counsel statute.
Impeachment As Congressional Constitutional Interpretation, Neal Kumar Katyal
Impeachment As Congressional Constitutional Interpretation, Neal Kumar Katyal
Law and Contemporary Problems
Katyal argues that one can adhere to originalism in the context of judicial interpretation and, nevertheless, believe in a broader style of interpretation for the legislature. He illustrates the point with three examples--the roles of history, precedent, and moral philosophy--in discussing the case of Pres Bill Clinton's impeachment.
