Nullificatory Juries, David A. Hoffman, Kaimipono D. Wenger

David A Hoffman

In this Article, we argue that current debates on the legitimacy of punitive damages would benefit from a comparison with jury nullification in criminal trials. We discuss critiques of punitive damages and of jury nullification, noting the surprising similarities in the arguments scholars use to attack these (superficially) distinct outcomes of the jury guarantee. Not only are the criticisms alike, the institutions of punitive damages and jury nullification also turn out to have many similarities: both are, we suggest, examples of what we call "nullificatory juries." We discuss the features of such juries, and consider recent behavioral data relating to …

A Seaworthiness Warranty In Time Policies: A Fifth Circuit Fallacy (Formerly Entitled Another Circuit Virus...), Graydon S. Staring

Graydon S. Staring

The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit was persuaded some years ago, and still believes, for aught we know, that there is an implied warranty of seaworthiness at the inception of a time policy, notwithstanding the lack of any logical explanation for such a usage and its authoritative disavowal from among those who might sometimes fortuitously benefit from it. The illegitimate conception of this warranty and its nurture and repetition in the Circuit have been exposed at some length in an earlier article and will be restated here to remind us again of its lack of foundation, with the …

The Lawyer As Legal Scholar, Michael J. Madison

Michael J. Madison

I review Eugene Volokh's recent book, Academic Legal Writing. The book is nominally directed to law students and those who teach them (and for those audiences, it is outstanding), but it also contains a number of valuable lessons for published scholars. The book is more than a writing manual, however. I argue that Professor Volokh suggests implicitly that scholarship is underappreciated as a dimension of the legal profession. A well-trained lawyer, in other words, should have experience as a scholar. The argument sheds new light on ongoing discussions about the character of law schools.

Análisis Y Recomendaciones Para Una Reforma De La Ley De Quiebras, Rafael Mery Nieto, Claudio Bonilla, Ronald Fischer, Rolf Lüders

Rafael Mery Nieto

Este trabajo presenta una evaluación general del sistema de quiebras en Chile, así como propuestas para mejorar el funcionamiento de éste. El trabajo incluye una comparación del sistema chileno con los sistemas de quiebras de otros países. Por último, presenta antecedentes sobre la tasa de recuperación de créditos; las costas y la duración de los procesos de quiebra; y la tasa de recuperación de acreencias en función del orden de prelación de los acreedores. Se muestra que el proceso de quiebras sufre una serie de deficiencias: i) las impugnaciones entorpecen los procedimientos, ii) el mecanismo de elección de síndicos no …

Eva Hemmungs Wirten is an associate professor in Library and Information Science at the University College of Boras and Gothenburg University in Sweden. Her work is primarily concerned with the interaction between print culture, globalization, and intellectual property rights. Eva Hemmungs Wirten is not a lawyer by training; instead her background lies in publishing. In her writing, she relies upon an interdisciplinary approach drawing on book history, cultural studies, law, and studies on globalization both in the humanities and social sciences. Her new book called No Trespassing is a fresh and original contribution to the field of intellectual property. It …
