What’S Next After Separationism?, John H. Garvey
What’S Next After Separationism?, John H. Garvey
Scholarly Articles
Professor Carl Esbeck argues in his article' that the traditional theory of separationism is giving way to a theory of equality (or more accurately, protection for religious choice). The argument is very astute, and I agree with much of it. I will give my own perspective on the same two points.
Of Painters, Sculptors, Quill Pens And Microscopes: Teaching Legal Writers In The Electronic Age, Lucia A. Silecchia
Of Painters, Sculptors, Quill Pens And Microscopes: Teaching Legal Writers In The Electronic Age, Lucia A. Silecchia
Scholarly Articles
No longer do lawyers write most of their work “by hand.” Instead, most legal writing is now done on word processors. This has the potential to change the way lawyers write in a fundamental way. Because word processors make it easier to write more than was possible “by hand” modern legal writers are more akin to sculptors than painters. Such writers must create finely-tuned written products from the large quantities of material that can now be inputted into a document and then edited and whittled away to create a finished product.
This Article examines how the arrival of the electronic …

The Passive Virtues And The World Court: Pro-Dialogic Abstention By The International Court Of Justice, Antonio F. Perez
The Passive Virtues And The World Court: Pro-Dialogic Abstention By The International Court Of Justice, Antonio F. Perez
Scholarly Articles
Only a few years ago the International Court of Justiceseemed to be edging toward judicial activism. This article argues that in its most recent pronouncements the ICJ has instead employed a variety of techniques for abstention. The ICJ's use of this "arsenal of devices" recalls, however, Alexander Bickel's argument for the exercise of judicial restraint by the U.S. Supreme Court in a way that nonetheless allows the judicial organ to stimulate constitutional politics. In the recent contentious cases and advisory opinions concerning the status of East Timor, exploitation of the natural resources of Nauru, and a trilogy of nuclear testing …
In The Tribunal Of Conscience: Mills V. Wyman Reconsidered, Geoffrey R. Watson
In The Tribunal Of Conscience: Mills V. Wyman Reconsidered, Geoffrey R. Watson
Scholarly Articles
In this Article, Professor Watson explores the historical record surrounding Mills v. Wyman, 20 Mass (3 Pick) 207 (1825), one of the leading American cases on moral obligation in contract law. In Mills, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court refused to enforce a father's promise to compensate a Good Samaritan who had cared for the father's dying son. Professor Watson combs the historical evidence--court records, census reports, genealogical data, probate records, military rolls, and so on-and argues that the Mills court got both the facts and the law wrong. According to Professor Watson, the father did not make the promise in …

Christianity And The Civil Law: Secularity, Privacy, And The Status Of Objective Moral Norms, William J. Wagner
Christianity And The Civil Law: Secularity, Privacy, And The Status Of Objective Moral Norms, William J. Wagner
Scholarly Articles
This article will address three specific questions within a Catholic framework: 1) What is the justification for asserting that objective moral norms apply to the content of the civil law?; 2) Why is not the law's "secular" character a barrier to enactments, based on objective moral norms?; and 3) Why is not the "private" character of reproductive and other activities a barrier to the enactment of legal regulation affecting them?

Abortion, Issue Balancing, And The 'Catholic’ Vote, Raymond B. Marcin
Abortion, Issue Balancing, And The 'Catholic’ Vote, Raymond B. Marcin
Scholarly Articles
Opposition to abortion is not an exclusively “Catholic” position. Many other Christians, Jews, Islamics and other religionists also oppose abortion. The perhaps unique thing about Catholics and the abortion issue, however, is that opposition to abortion is the official, formal teaching of the Church to which they belong. How then can the “Catholic” vote in the recent presidential election be explained? President Clinton is unarguably the most consistently pro-abortion president in our nation’s history.
