Perceptions Of Judicial Responsibility: The Views Of The Nine United States Supreme Court Justices As They Consider Claims In Fourteenth Amendment Noncriminal Cases: A Post-Bakke Evaluation, Arthur R. Landever
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
In this article, the author sketches each Justice by examining his expressed attitudes and silent concurrences in fourteenth amendment noncriminal cases, as well as his remarks in other, non-court settings. While judicial behavioralists have employed quantitative techniques focusing upon analysis of voting records, the author believes that use of the lawyer's traditional method--case and opinion examination-is more appropriate here. Each Justice's composite should tell us not only something about the individual Justice's views, but also something about the views of key blocs on the Court. By such an effort, we learn more about the range of the possible in urging …
Islamic Law: The Impact Of Joseph Schacht, David F. Forte
Islamic Law: The Impact Of Joseph Schacht, David F. Forte
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
It is here where Schacht's service to Islamic law becomes most salutary. He has made it possible for this great legal tradition to free itself from an unthinking bondage to issues relevant to the second Islamic century, and thus open anew the gate to ijtihad. Mujtahids need no longer fear they are revising divine law when they develop the traditional norms of Islamic law beyond the confines imposed by taqlid. The Sunna of Islam remains the way of the Prophet's devout followers, even though it may not be the way of the Messenger himself. In this fashion, respect for the …
The Impact Of Pacifica Foundation On Two Traditions Of Freedom Of Expression (With Endress), Stephen W. Gard
The Impact Of Pacifica Foundation On Two Traditions Of Freedom Of Expression (With Endress), Stephen W. Gard
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
The purpose of this article is not to debate the wisdom of the use of sensitive language on the electronic media or elsewhere. The admonition that the perceived wisdom of governmental regulations should never be confused with the issue of their constitutionality remains appropriate. Nor is it our purpose to debate the substantive question of whether the Court reached the proper result in Pacifica, although we will necessarily have much to say by implication on this issue. The purpose of this article is rather to assess the impact of Pacifica on the two traditions of freedom of expression which continue …
Egyptian Land Law: An Evaluation, David F. Forte
Egyptian Land Law: An Evaluation, David F. Forte
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
In all cases, the country adopting the Western code has attempted to infuse it with traditional values or with tenets of a particular ideology. Frequently, the inevitable dichotomy between the basic concepts of the code and the values which have been infused into it produce legal tensions. This has certainly been the case in Egypt. Traditionally, Egypt has had difficulty accommodating a growing population on a limited amount of arable land. Whether Egypt is able to remedy past maldistribution of arable land will have significant social, economic and political consequences. The success of legal reform in Egypt must be judged …
Strict Liability Come Of Age In Ohio: Almost, Stephen J. Werber
Strict Liability Come Of Age In Ohio: Almost, Stephen J. Werber
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
In June 1977 the Ohio Supreme Court decided Temple v. Wean United, Inc., and adopted the doctrine of strict liability for product liability litigation, thereby following a national trend. Earlier decisions had discussed a theory similar to strictly liability and had engendered considerable confusion as to the substantive theory supporting possibly recovery. Temple apparently ended the confusion.
