The Forum Of Conscience: Applying Standards Under The Free Exercise Clause, Paul Marcus Jan 1973

The Forum Of Conscience: Applying Standards Under The Free Exercise Clause, Paul Marcus

Faculty Publications

The 1973 Supreme Court decision in Wisconsin v. Yoder reenforced and amplified the Court's earlier holding in Sherbert v. Verner that the free exercise clause of the first amendment requires the state to render substantial deference to religiously motivated behavior in the application of its laws and regulatory schemes. In this article, Mr. Marcus traces the evolving standards of free exercise doctrine and observes that the "balancing test" which has resulted from that evolution requires still further refinement to give religious freedom its full constitutional due. The author then illustrates how the new standards of free exercise might be applied …


The Specific Theory Of Academic Freedom And The General Issue Of Civil Liberty, William W. Van Alstyne Jan 1972

The Specific Theory Of Academic Freedom And The General Issue Of Civil Liberty, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

Academic freedom has been blurred in law and in popular usage. Its clarification should enable the Supreme Court to grant it explicit protection under the Constitution as an identifiable subset of First Amendment freedoms.

Adjustments of standards by the American Association of University Professors, more definitely distinguishing the special accountability of …

The Constitutional Rights Of Public Employees: A Comment On The Inappropriate Uses Of An Old Analogy, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

Beginning with Justice Douglass's assertion that the State is bound in the same ways when acting as an employer as it is when acting as a governing body, this examination delves deeper to determine how this doctrine actually limits the government when it acts as an employer. This article endorses the theory of examining these limits not in the context of if the government is allowed to enforce them in the public sphere, but if the government may mandate such limits in the private sphere.


The Demise Of The Right-Privilege Distinction In Constitutional Law, William W. Van Alstyne Jan 1968

The Demise Of The Right-Privilege Distinction In Constitutional Law, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

The right-privilege distinction, as it appeared in an early statement by Justice Holmes, has long hampered individuals within the public sector in protecting themselves against arbitrary governmental action. In this article Professor Van Alstyne reviews the uses and misuses to which the "privilege" concept has been put and then examines those doctrines whose flanking attacks have gradually eroded its efficacy. But none of these doctrines comes to grips with Holmes' basic idea of a "privilege" to which substantive due process is inapplicable. Applying Holmes' own jurisprudence, the author argues that the concept of "privilege" is today no longer viable, and …
