Thinking About Our Language, James Boyd White
Thinking About Our Language, James Boyd White
Articles
Except for one meeting, which I will describe below, I knew Bob Cover only through his writings. This circumstance was of course a disappointment to me, for our interests were similar, and his death now makes the loss irreparable. But perhaps this is less of a limitation than would normally be the case, for as much as anyone in the law Bob was, and is, actively present in his writing, both as a person and as a mind.-But that dichotomy of person and mind gets it wrong, for what I would like to catch is a sense of fusion or …

Women's Banks And Women's Access To Credit: Competition Between Marketplace And Regulatory Solutions To Gender Discrimination, Kenneth Anderson
Women's Banks And Women's Access To Credit: Competition Between Marketplace And Regulatory Solutions To Gender Discrimination, Kenneth Anderson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
During the 1970's, as more women entered the work force as managers, laborers and entrepreneurs, women's credit and financing needs intensified. Yet banks and other financial institutions persisted in discriminating against women in extending credit. This discrimination reflected a view that women were bad credit risks because they generallyhad no independent source or control of income. Without access to credit, women could not develop independent sources of income, build an asset base or develop their own credit histories. This in turn precluded future extensions of credit to women. Denial of access to credit for women was a cause as well …
The Elwood Case: Vindicating The Educational Rights Of The Disabled, A. Wayne Mackay
The Elwood Case: Vindicating The Educational Rights Of The Disabled, A. Wayne Mackay
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
The guarantees of the Charter of Rights affect the definition of education for the disabled. The case of Elwood v. Halifax County - Bedford District School Board, a landmark case in educational rights of disabled children in Canada, has major implications for educational practice.
One of the earliest and most controversial Charter of Rights challenges to the existing educational structure has come from parents of disabled children. Disabled children and their parents are blazing a trail to define educational rights in Canada, and the process is giving some shape to the the elusive concept of equality enshrined in the …

The Institutions, Laws And Values Of The Hopi Indians: A Stable State Society, John W. Ragsdale Jr
The Institutions, Laws And Values Of The Hopi Indians: A Stable State Society, John W. Ragsdale Jr
Faculty Works
The Hopi Indians of northeastern Arizona have existed as a stable or steady state society for a thousand years or more, and, even though they have felt the impact of white growth society in this century, they have maintained a greater cultural integrity than any other native people in the United States. This Article examines traditional Hopi values and institutions, especially their law. Hopi thinking and social organization were shaped by a profound reverence for their environment and an equally profound awareness of the constraints it imposed. With its growing sense of a need for balance with the environment, modern …
Legal Evolution And Legislation, Alan Watson
Legal Evolution And Legislation, Alan Watson
Scholarly Works
For several years I have been working on two relationships: the relationship between legal rules and the society in which they operate, and the relationship between sources of law and the way law evolves. Some critics have suggested that in discussing the evolution of law, I have understated the revolutionary force of legislation and statutory law. This issue will be the focus of this article.

Causation In Torts, Crimes, And Moral Philosophy: A Reply To Professor Thomson, Paul F. Rothstein
Causation In Torts, Crimes, And Moral Philosophy: A Reply To Professor Thomson, Paul F. Rothstein
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Professor Judith Jarvis Thomson's provocative article, 'The Decline of Cause,' focuses on the diminishing importance of causation in law and moral philosophy. In this reply, I suggest answers to some of the questions Professor Thomson raises.
Professor Thomson's article revolves around various forms of a classic dilemma: two persons take equal care but, through chance, their actions produce different results. Does the outcome of their actions matter in a moral assessment of those actions? Professor Thomson first sets out what the styles as the Kantian and 'moral sophisticates" position that the outcome of an act does not and should not …
Adjudication Is Not Interpretation: Some Reservations About The Law-As-Literature Movement, Robin West
Adjudication Is Not Interpretation: Some Reservations About The Law-As-Literature Movement, Robin West
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Among other achievements, the modern law-as-literature movement has prompted increasing numbers of legal scholars to embrace the claim that adjudication is interpretation, and more specifically, that constitutional adjudication is interpretation of the Constitution. That adjudication is interpretation -- that an adjudicative act is an interpretive act -- more than any other central commitment, unifies the otherwise diverse strands of the legal and constitutional theory of the late twentieth century.
In this article, I will argue in this article against both modern forms of interpretivism. The analogue of law to literature, on which much of modern interpretivism is based, although fruitful, …

On The Indeterminacy Crisis: Critiquing Critical Dogma, Lawrence B. Solum
On The Indeterminacy Crisis: Critiquing Critical Dogma, Lawrence B. Solum
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Critical legal scholarship challenges the liberal claim that modern western societies are characterized by "the rule of law." The liberal conception of the rule of law, critical scholars contend, serves to mystify and legitimate the legal system and thereby obscure the real issues behind individual cases as well as the real nature of the legal system. Frequently, the claim that legal rules are indeterminate is the starting point for such a critique of the rule of law. What I call the indeterminacy thesis goes roughly like this: the existing body of legal doctrines-statutes, administrative regulations, and court decisions-permits a judge …
Intellectual Integration, James Boyd White
Intellectual Integration, James Boyd White
Articles
In this paper, I want to talk about the activity of intellectual integration itself: about what it can mean to integrate-to put together in a complex whole-aspects of our culture, or of the world, that seem to us disparate or unconnected; and what it can mean in so doing to integrate-to bring together in interactive life-aspects of our own minds and beings that we normally separate or divide from each other: I want to think of integration, that is-and of its opposite, disintegration-as taking place on two planes of existence at once, the cultural and the individual. For what is …
Economics And Law: Two Cultures In Tension, James Boyd White
Economics And Law: Two Cultures In Tension, James Boyd White
Articles
I want to preface my remarks by saying something about the kind of talk this is going to be. As my title says, I shall speak mainly about economics and law, which I shall examine as forms of thought and life, or what I shall call cultures. With law, about which in fact I shall speak rather briefly, I am naturally familiar by training and experience. But with economics I am familiar only as an observer as a general reader who reads the newspaper, as a lawyer who has followed a little of the law and economics literature, and as …
