[Introduction To] The Language Of Law And The Foundations Of American Constitutionalism, Gary L. Mcdowell

Bookshelf

For much of its history, the interpretation of the United States Constitution presupposed judges seeking the meaning of the text and the original intentions behind that text, a process that was deemed by Chief Justice John Marshall to be “the most sacred rule of interpretation.” Since the end of the nineteenth century, a radically new understanding has developed in which the moral intuition of the judges is allowed to supplant the Constitution’s original meaning as the foundation of interpretation. The Founders’ constitution of fixed and permanent meaning has been replaced by the idea of a “living” or evolving constitution. Gary …

Using Competition Law To Promote Access To Knowledge, Sean Flynn

Contributions to Books

One of the points of convergence among the many strands of the A2K movement is resistance to the one-size-fits-all ratcheting up of intellectual property provisions around the world. The resistance is grounded in analysis showing that intellectual property rules often create social costs that far outweigh their intended benefits. Much of the A2K movement’s advocacy for limitations of intellectual property rights is located within the field of intellectual property law – promoting the inclusion and use of balancing mechanisms within the laws granting intellectual property rights. But intellectual property rights are also shaped and limited by their interaction with other …

Global Labor And Employment Law For The Practicing Lawyer, Henry Drummonds

Books & Contributions to Books

The global labor markets require workable and predictable law, forums, and recognition of judgments for the enforcement of cross-border employment contracts. Global labor markets make traditional approaches outdated. Yet regulations in the EU now answer these questions for European postings, and provide a framework for building a predictable system generally in the emerging world-wide markets for labor. Party autonomy often controls, but yields to protective rules requiring application of the law of the place of labor regarding non-waiveable employment rights.

Traditionally, private international law affecting these questions found expression at the national or sub-national level. Choice of law rules in …

Why Federalism And Constitutional Positivism Don't Mix, James A. Gardner

Contributions to Books

Published as Chapter 4 in New Frontiers of State Constitutional Law: Dual Enforcement of Norms, James A. Gardner & Jim Rossi, eds.

This chapter places the book's approach in its interpretational context by linking the federal structure of constitutional norm production to the ever-present problem of interpretational methodology. It begins by arguing that previous approaches to the interpretation of subnational constitutions have failed because they improperly attempted to apply the dominant jurisprudence of national constitutional interpretation—constitutional positivism—to the constitutions of the states. Yet constitutional positivism as a technique only makes sense where subnational units are autonomous, as independent nations are. …

Comparative Law: Law, Reality And Society (3rd Edition), Alan Watson

Not a conventional approach to comparative law. Rules and structures of one system are not set out against those of another for contrast. Rather, rules particular or general, are examined to explain how they came to be.

Cases, Materials And Problems In Property (Third Edition), Richard H. Chused

Books

This casebook raises interesting and challenging problems concerning the development of property law. Property concepts are introduced through cutting edge issues, such as intellectual property, rights of publicity, and ownership rights in the human body. Historical dimensions are presented through discussions of laws which formerly excluded certain individuals from most forms of ownership and property control, such as Native Americans, African Americans, and women. The text covers traditional topics: estates in land, landlord and tenant laws, transfers of property, private land use controls, and constitutional limitations on public land use controls.
