Woman’S Constitution, Kenneth L. Karst Jun 1984

Woman’S Constitution, Kenneth L. Karst

Duke Law Journal

The idea of woman is a social construct. Professor Karst begins by considering some of the sources of that construct, and how American law has both reflected and reinforced it. Next, he discusses the role of constitutional law in the modern reconstruction of "woman's place," and examines the limitations of that transformation. Finally, recognizing that women as a group do tend to perceive social relations and approach moral issues in distinctive ways, Professor Karst speculates on the possible consequences of a reconstruction of our constitutional law to include an important measure of that distinctive morality and worldview.


Income Averaging After Twenty Years: A Failed Experiment In Horizontal Equity, Richard Schmalbeck Jun 1984

Income Averaging After Twenty Years: A Failed Experiment In Horizontal Equity, Richard Schmalbeck

Duke Law Journal

After describing the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code relating to income averaging, Professor Schmalbeck analyzes those provisions from a policy perspective. He concludes that the conventional horizontal equity arguments advanced in defense of income averaging are insubstantial, and that no other policy justification is of sufficient strength to justify the large revenue loss associated with income averaging. Although outright repeal of the averaging provisions may be the best solution, Professor Schmalbeck also explores several more modest amendments to the averaging provisions.

Administrative Process Reform In A Discretionary Age: The Role Of Social Consequences, Wesley A. Magat, Schroeder Christopher H. Apr 1984

Administrative Process Reform In A Discretionary Age: The Role Of Social Consequences, Wesley A. Magat, Schroeder Christopher H.

Duke Law Journal

The basic rulemaking procedures of the Administrative Procedure Act have remained intact for thirty-eight years, but now Congress is seriously considering reform of those generic rules. To evaluate the merits of these reform proposals, we must develop criteria against which to judge them. Although procedural reforms are commonly judged against the goals of fairness, accuracy, and procedural efficiency, Professors Schroeder and Magat argue that these are insufficient criteria to apply to administrative process reforms at a time when agencies possess substantial discretion in the rulemaking process. In such a context, procedures have an impact on society in ways not adequately …


The Marketplace Of Ideas: A Legitimizing Myth, Stanley Ingber Feb 1984

The Marketplace Of Ideas: A Legitimizing Myth, Stanley Ingber

Duke Law Journal

Theorists have often heralded the first amendment as creating a neutral marketplace of ideas. Proponents of this model view the market as essential to our society's efforts to discover truth and foster effective popular participation in government. Professor Ingber asserts that the theoretical underpinnings of this model are based on assumptions of rational decisionmaking that are implausible in modern society. He insists that, in reality, the market is severely skewed in favor of an entrenched power structure and ideology. Professor Ingber explores efforts to reform and correct this market defect and finds them equally flawed. He concludes that the marketplace …

Judicial Enforcement Of Fair Housing Laws: An Analysis Of Some Unexamined Problems That The Fair Housing Amendments Act Of 1983 Would Eliminate, Willy E. Rice Jan 1984

Judicial Enforcement Of Fair Housing Laws: An Analysis Of Some Unexamined Problems That The Fair Housing Amendments Act Of 1983 Would Eliminate, Willy E. Rice

Faculty Articles

Although the study by the National Committee Against Discrimination in 1979 could not determine the “true” incidence of racial discrimination, it did produce some startling results. For example, if a black person were to visit three private apartment complexes, the probability of his encountering racial discrimination would be sixty-one percent. Moreover, an increase in the number of visits dramatically increased the probability of discrimination. The probability of discrimination would be ninety percent if the black prospective renter were to visit seven complexes. The likelihood of discrimination in the sale of housing was also found to be high. For instance, if …
