Teaching Contract Law Through Common Law Analysis: The Uci Law Experiment, Gregory S. Crespi Jan 2013

Teaching Contract Law Through Common Law Analysis: The Uci Law Experiment, Gregory S. Crespi

SMU Law Review

The new law school at the University of California, Irvine, is attempting to implement an innovative vision of top-tier legal education that emphasizes skills-based and experiential training. As part of that effort, the school has restructured the traditional first-year law school curriculum so that several of these courses each focus on a particular analytical method-specifically, common law analysis, statutory analysis, procedural analysis, constitutional analysis, or international legal analysis-rather than on a particular doctrinal subject matter such as contract law or torts. There are no doubt some pedagogical advantages to taking such an analytical methods-oriented instructional approach. However, I have some …

A Case Study Of Federal Circuit Policy Making, W. Keith Robinson Jan 2013

A Case Study Of Federal Circuit Policy Making, W. Keith Robinson

SMU Law Review

The Federal Circuit's legal decisions are perceived to have a significant impact on patent policy because of its close relationship with the patent bar and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Accordingly, litigants before the Federal Circuit may have the unique opportunity to directly influence patent policy. In a 2003 article, Professor Arti Rai suggested that if factual determinations concerning litigation were the responsibility of the USPTO and U.S. District Courts, then the Federal Circuit would be the ideal entity to make patent policy. Interestingly, during a recent panel at the 2013 Intellectual Property Symposium at the Southern …

Against Neorehabilitation, Jessica M. Eaglin Jan 2013

Against Neorehabilitation, Jessica M. Eaglin

SMU Law Review

In the face of severe budget constraints, bipartisan calls for reform, dropping crime rates, and judicial intervention, states are seriously considering and implementing criminal justice reform to manage prison populations for the first time in three decades. Scholars agree that states need a guiding theory to transform emergency and short-term reforms into a long-term shift in policy and practice away from mass incarceration. Numerous scholars advocate for a return to an improved theory of rehabilitation to guide the states in implementing such reform. This return-through neorehabilitation, or the rehabilitation of rehabilitation-centers on the use of evidence-based programming and predictive tools …

Percolation, Uniformity, And Coherent Adjudication: The Federal Circuit Experience, Rochelle C. Dreyfuss Jan 2013

Percolation, Uniformity, And Coherent Adjudication: The Federal Circuit Experience, Rochelle C. Dreyfuss

SMU Law Review

Two important lessons had been taught by the reactions to the Freund and Hruska Reports. One was that it was politically unacceptable to shut off any case in the lower federal courts from access to the Supreme Court by way of certiorari, however unavailing that might be in reality. . . . In addition, a widespread sentiment was evident among the bench and bar against having "specialized courts."'

Formalism And Antiformalism In Patent Law Adjudication--Precedent And Policy, David O. Taylor Jan 2013

Formalism And Antiformalism In Patent Law Adjudication--Precedent And Policy, David O. Taylor

SMU Law Review

In recent years law professors have unleashed withering criticism on the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit for overlooking the value of policy-guided analyses of patent law and instead engaging in formalistic parsing of precedent. The Supreme Court, by contrast, has received more mixed reviews but ultimately is viewed as an antiformalist alternative to the Federal Circuit. In this Article, I reconsider the role of the Federal Circuit as an intermediate appellate court with exclusive jurisdiction over appeals in patent cases in analyzing and expressing policy related to patent law. After cataloging the views of Federal Circuit …


The Immigrant And Miranda, Anjana Malhotra Jan 2013

The Immigrant And Miranda, Anjana Malhotra

SMU Law Review

The recent dramatic convergence of immigration and criminal law is transforming the immigration and criminal justice system. While scholars have begun to examine some of the structural implications of this convergence, this Article breaks new ground by examining judicial responses and specifically the lens of Miranda v. Arizona. This Article examines the divergent and largely aberrant approaches that federal appellate courts have taken to determine whether Miranda warnings and rights apply to custodial inquiries about immigration status that have clear criminal and civil implications. Part I of this Article discusses the distinctions between civil and criminal immigration laws and the …
