Efficiency And Labor Law, Keith N. Hylton
Efficiency And Labor Law, Keith N. Hylton
Faculty Scholarship
In this Article, I examine the economic efficiency of labor law. My claim is that much of labor law seems to be efficient-in a sense that will be made precise below.9 I approach this issue by examining the process by which labor law develops and some important areas of labor law doctrine. The central question addressed is whether the process by which labor law develops differs substantially from the common law process. I demonstrate that there are differences that have implications for the efficiency of labor law. But the differences do not seem to be so great as to …
Defendants' Brief In The School Finance Case: Mcduffy V. Robertson: An Excerpt And A Summary, Mary Connaughton
Defendants' Brief In The School Finance Case: Mcduffy V. Robertson: An Excerpt And A Summary, Mary Connaughton
Faculty Scholarship
The wisdom of promoting public education in the Commonwealth was recognized by the earliest settlers, the framers of the Constitution, and many subsequent legislatures, officials, educators and citizens. The opinions of the Department, the Secretary of Education, the Governor and various educators, contained in the stipulation, demonstrate that a policy of supporting public education is as important today as ever.2
The implementation of this policy goal by the Legislature and municipalities involves choices that are at the heart of representative government: how much public money to raise, how best to allocate the money among education and the many other …
The Jewish Perspective In International Law, Pnina Lahav
The Jewish Perspective In International Law, Pnina Lahav
Faculty Scholarship
Let me start with two qualifications.
First, this question: is defining the term "Jewish" essential to an exploration of a Jewish vision of international law? The historian Jacob Talmon recalls an exchange between a Gentile and a Jew:
"I thought you were Jewish," said the Gentile.
"Well," answered the Jew, "by a biological standard I am Jewish, since both of my parents were Jewish, but it is 20 years since I sent a letter of resignation to the Jewish community."
"I see," answered the Gentile, "you mean that Jewishness is like a club."
The anecdote captures the evasive quality of …
Foreword To An Interview With Fred Korematsu, Larry Yackle
Foreword To An Interview With Fred Korematsu, Larry Yackle
Faculty Scholarship
One afternoon in the spring of 1942, Fred Korematsu was arrested for doing what would have been perfectly innocent and natural for millions of other American citizens, but was for him a criminal offense. He went for a stroll with his fianc6e along a public street in San Leandro, California.' By order of General John L. DeWitt, Americans of Japanese ancestry had been directed to remain in their homes during daylight hours and to ready themselves for transport to "assembly centers," where they would wait out the war.' Korematsu's family had already reported to such a center near San Francisco, …
Throwing Stones At The Mudbank: The Impact Of Scholarship On Administrative Law, Ronald A. Cass, Jack M. Beermann
Throwing Stones At The Mudbank: The Impact Of Scholarship On Administrative Law, Ronald A. Cass, Jack M. Beermann
Faculty Scholarship
The impact of administrative law scholarship on administrative law seems at first blush both a relatively straightforward issue and one that academicians should be especially eager to engage. But there is reason to doubt both propositions. First, any effort to grapple with this topic compels the conclusion that the issue is by no means straightforward. As Peter Strauss recently observed, the question of the influence of administrative law scholarship necessarily becomes as well the influence of active engagement in the practice of administrative law on scholarship.' Moreover, the questions implicated in this assessment cannot be narrowly compassed. The topic requires …
Litigation Cost Allocation Rules And Compliance With The Negligence Standard, Keith N. Hylton
Litigation Cost Allocation Rules And Compliance With The Negligence Standard, Keith N. Hylton
Faculty Scholarship
This article examines compliance, incentives to bring suit, and incentives to settle in a negligence regime under alternative litigation cost allocation rules. Four allocation rules are considered: the American rule, which requires each party to pay his own costs; the British rule, which requires the losing party to pay the winning party's costs in addition to his own; the prodefendant rule, which requires the defendant to pay only his own costs if he loses and nothing otherwise; and the proplaintiff rule, which requires the plaintiff to pay only his own costs if he loses and nothing otherwise.
Fee Shifting And Incentives To Comply With The Law, Keith N. Hylton
Fee Shifting And Incentives To Comply With The Law, Keith N. Hylton
Faculty Scholarship
Law and economics is a top-heavy discipline, in the sense that it is largely theoretical. Empirical tests of its claims have been carried out only recently, and a great deal remains to be done. The larger part of the recent wave of empirical law and economics research, however, examines the litigation process. This research has focused on the frequencies with which lawsuits are brought and with which they are settled.1 Surprisingly, empirical researchers2 have given little attention to the theoretical literature that makes predictions concerning incentives to comply with legal rules and the optimality of compliance equilibria.3 This lack of …
The Supreme Court's Narrow View On Civil Rights, Jack M. Beermann
The Supreme Court's Narrow View On Civil Rights, Jack M. Beermann
Faculty Scholarship
The right to choose abortion, although recently significantly curtailed from its original scope,' is a federally protected liberty interest of women, and is at least protected against the imposition of "undue burdens" by state and local government.2 Some of the most serious threats to women's ability to choose abortion have come not from government regulation, but from private, national, organized efforts to prevent abortions. In addition to seeking change through the political system, some of these organizations, most notably Operation Rescue, have focused on the providers of abortion, and have attempted to prevent abortions by forcibly closing abortion clinics …
The Reception Of Canon Law And Civil Law In The Common Law Courts Before 1600, David J. Seipp
The Reception Of Canon Law And Civil Law In The Common Law Courts Before 1600, David J. Seipp
Faculty Scholarship
English common law practitioners and judges borrowed much of the conc structure for their body of legal knowledge from the legal culture of continen Europe over the centuries. Their surviving writings show a marked increa the use of Roman legal classifications in the century before 1600: public private, criminal and civil, real and personal, property and possession, con and delict, among other examples. Those who perpetuated the learning of English royal courts in the sixteenth century had begun fitting it in framework borrowed from the two great bodies of 'learned law' taught in universities of Europe: civil (Roman) law and …
