Running Backs, Wolves, And Other Fatalities: How Manipulations Of Coherence In Legal Opinions Marginalize Violent Death, Jonathan Yovel Jan 2004

Running Backs, Wolves, And Other Fatalities: How Manipulations Of Coherence In Legal Opinions Marginalize Violent Death, Jonathan Yovel

Jonathan Yovel

By examining legal cases that involve violent death and its marginalization by the courts, this essay looks into the relations between narrative coherence and narrative absurd in judicial opinions. Coherence, rather than a static, unequivocal characteristic of legal narratives, is studied here as a highly manipulable narrative and rhetorical performance. Giving a performative twist to reader-response approaches I do not really ask what is the meaning of this text (as construed by its reading)? but rather, working from the position of the text's discursive community, what does this text do? The reading of these cases explores how judicial narration and …

Predatory Lending: What’S Wall Street Got To Do With It?, Dec 2003

Predatory Lending: What’S Wall Street Got To Do With It?,

Patricia A. McCoy

In this article, we examine the contention that the secondary market will exert sufficient market discipline to drive predatory home loan lenders from the subprime marketplace. Using a so‐called lemons model, we identify the potential risks that investors encounter if they buy securities backed by predatory home loans. We then explain how structured finance, deal provisions, pricing mechanisms, and legal protections shield investors from much of the risk that those loans entail.

While the secondary market does impose some discipline on the subprime home loan market, it is not enough to bring predatory lending to a halt. We provide rationales …

Alberta And Ontario: Civilizing The Money-Centered Model Of Crime Control, Michelle Gallant Dec 2003

Alberta And Ontario: Civilizing The Money-Centered Model Of Crime Control, Michelle Gallant

Michelle Gallant

An examination of contemporary crime management strategies reveals an emerging trend. With increasing frequency, reliance is placed on a money-centered model of control, a model that copes with crime by attacking its financial underpinnings, the money and the assets linked to the offences. A second trend occurs within the first, the diminution of criminal models in favor of civil legal models. In 2001, the provinces of Alberta and Ontario partook of this trend. Manitoba, in its own unique fashion, joined the movement in 2003.

The paper outlines the contours civil models, identifies the main themes of constitutional conflicts and locates …
