Moral Discourse And Family Law, Lee E. Teitelbaum
Moral Discourse And Family Law, Lee E. Teitelbaum
Michigan Law Review
It seems appropriate in the early stages of an experiment in legal publishing to say something about it, if only because few forms have been as resistant to innovation as the law review. The creation of a section for correspondence regarding recent articles provides a medium for conducting just the national discourse which scholarship aspires to provoke and which does occur in private conversations or letters and, occasionally, in panels at professional meetings. To talk in print about a colleague's work - to praise it, qualify it, pursue suggested or alternate lines of thought - is not only an enjoyable …

Moral Discourse And The Transformation Of American Family Law, Carl E. Schneider
Moral Discourse And The Transformation Of American Family Law, Carl E. Schneider
Michigan Law Review
Family law has undergone momentous change in recent decades. In this Article, Professor Schneider proposes that the transformation in family law can be understood as a diminution in the law's discourse in moral terms about the relations between family members and as a transfer of moral decisions from the law to the people the law once regulated. Professor Schneider identifies countertrends and limits to the changes he describes, and then investigates the reasons for the changes. He hypothesizes that four forces helped change family law and moral discourse within family law: the legal tradition of noninterference in family affairs; the …
The 'Legalization' Of The Family: Toward A Policy Of Supportive Neutrality, David L. Chambers
The 'Legalization' Of The Family: Toward A Policy Of Supportive Neutrality, David L. Chambers
Articles
The word "legalization" has conflicting meanings. One, intended to sound the theme of this conference, conveys the notion of government regulation permeating some area of human activity. The other-as found, for example, in the phrase "the legalization of marijuana"-is a near opposite: the process of making legal or permissible that which. was previously forbidden, taking government out of that which it had previously controlled. The recent history of government's relationship to the family amply displays both sorts of legalization, both government's intrusion and its withdrawal, and reveals a paradoxical relation between the two-that as government frees people to live their …

Transitional Legal Practice And Professional Ideology, Bryant G. Garth
Transitional Legal Practice And Professional Ideology, Bryant G. Garth
Michigan Journal of International Law
This essay assumes that there are three other reasons for studying transnational legal practice. First, such a study provides a way to explore some of the dilemmas that we often overlook about our domestic legal system. In both the domestic and transnational legal settings we are uncomfortable with the idea of law as "merely a business"; troubled by the invasion of "legality" into domains that once had seemed immune from state regulation; wary of the expense of "mega" law and litigation; reticent about a "total justice" which is expected to compensate individual victims of every unpleasant social accident; and nervous …
Law As Rhetoric, Rhetoric As Law: The Arts Of Cultural And Communal Life, James Boyd White
Law As Rhetoric, Rhetoric As Law: The Arts Of Cultural And Communal Life, James Boyd White
Articles
In this paper I shall suggest that law is most usefully seen not, as it usually is by academics and philosophers, as a system of rules, but as a branch of rhetoric; and that the kind of rhetoric of which law is a species is most usefully seen not, as rhetoric usually is, either as a failed science or as the ignoble art of persuasion, but as the central art by which community and culture are established, maintained, and transformed. So regarded, rhetoric is continuous with law, and like it, has justice as its ultimate subject. I do not mean …
