The Formulaic Constitution, Robert F. Nagel
The Formulaic Constitution, Robert F. Nagel
Michigan Law Review
This essay explores the ways in which the formulaic style is different from other, older forms of constitutional doctrine. It argues that the modern style affects the content that the Court finds in the Constitution and that it illuminates the current interpretive functions of the judiciary. Perhaps most importantly, the formulaic style establishes an identifiable relationship between the Court and the public and thus constrains how the Court's version of the Constitution bears upon the larger political culture.

The Next Step: Definition, Generalization, And Theory In American Family Law, Carl E. Schneider
The Next Step: Definition, Generalization, And Theory In American Family Law, Carl E. Schneider
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The Journal of Law Reform's Symposium on Family Law comes opportunely, in legal scholarship's spring of hope, its winter of despair, at a time when we have everything before us, when we have nothing before us. As is natural in such an epoch, reflection about legal scholarship, about its history, purposes, and methods, has flourished. This Symposium invites us to extend that reflection to family law, and this essay attempts, tentatively and speculatively, to accept the invitation.

Point/Counterpoint: A Debate On Irony And Interpretation, Richard Lempert, Peter Westen
Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)
Can irony play a role in the construction of statutes? In the following articles, legal scholars Richard Lempert and Peter Westen debate the point, taking, as their context, the Supreme Court decision in United Steelworkers v. Weber, a 1979 affirmative action case that brings to the fore the moral dilemmas posed by such programs.
Professor Lempert's initial article originally appeared in Ethics 95 (October 1984), published by the University of Chicago Press. Professor Westen's response, and Lempert's rejoinder to it, were written especially for Law Quadrangle Notes.
Richard Lempert is a graduate of Oberlin College and the University of …

Criminal Practice, And Politics And The Constitution In The History Of The United States, Ronald J. Bacigal, Donald O. Dewey
University of Richmond Law Review
When John Lowe asked me to review his book, I confess that I was surprised. Having just authored two books on Virginia Criminal Procedure, I considered John and myself to be competitors. However, after examining his book I now understand that our books serve different purposes and in fact complement each other.

Virginia Circuit Court Opinions, Harrison On Wills And Administration In Virginia And West Virginia, T. S. Ellis Iii, Dennis I. Belcher
University of Richmond Law Review
Jesse Root. Nathaniel Chipman. George Caines. Ephraim Kirby. Most lawyers will not recognize these names. More familiar, perhaps, are Alexander Dallas, Henry Wheaton, and Richard Peters. In fact, all belong to the same distinguished group: compilers and reporters of America's early judicial decisions. With the publication of Volumes One and Two of the Virginia Circuit Court Opinions (hereinafter "Opinions"), Professor Hamilton Bryson bids fair to join this distinguished group.

Law And Language: The Role Of Pragmatics In Statutory Interpretation, M. B.W. Sinclair
Law And Language: The Role Of Pragmatics In Statutory Interpretation, M. B.W. Sinclair
Articles by Maurer Faculty
In everyday conversation social conventions constrain our speech and aid understanding of the speech of others. These social conventions have been analyzed by the philosopher H.P. Grice and others. Professor Sinclair explores the applicability of such conventions to statutes and thereby derives a set of pragmatic rules of statutory construction. These rules explain some of the intuitions underlying "canons of construction" and their limitations and provide a basis for understanding and for criticizing some important judicial decisions.
How Should We Talk About Corporations? The Languages Of Economics And Of Citizenship, James Boyd White
How Should We Talk About Corporations? The Languages Of Economics And Of Citizenship, James Boyd White
Articles
My immediate subject in this Comment is section 2.01 of the American Law Institute's proposed Principles of Corporate Governance (Tentative Draft No. 2), which defines in general terms the proper objectives and conduct of a business corporation. My larger subject has to do with the adequacy and inadequacy of various languages in which corporate purposes and limits might be expressed, and especially with the limits of the economic language used in the ALI Draft.

Review Of The Justice Of The Western Consular Courts In Nineteenth Century Japan, Whitmore Gray
Review Of The Justice Of The Western Consular Courts In Nineteenth Century Japan, Whitmore Gray
Reviews
Richard Chang attacks the generalization accepted by many historians that the Western consular tribunals in nineteenth-century Japan were so partial- toward West- erners and against Japanese-that they seldom rendered evenhanded justice. His study required two steps. First he tried to determine how many "mixed" cases came to trial-cases in which aJapanese brought a claim against a foreign resident in a consular court or was the complaining party in criminal proceedings against a foreigner. Between 1875 and 1895 there were five such cases that were widely reported and commented on at the time, and that have often been cited as examples. …
Foreign Experiences Toward The Development Of A National Legal Information Center, Claire M. Germain
Foreign Experiences Toward The Development Of A National Legal Information Center, Claire M. Germain
UF Law Faculty Publications
This comparative study discusses whether selected foreign countries -- Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and the Federal Republic of Germany -- have a history of a movement toward the establishment of a national information center. The author examines the development of existing law libraries and libraries with large legal collections, analyzes the role played by the national library of each country, and describes some cooperative accomplishments at the regional and national level. Comparisons are drawn with what is expected of a national legal information center in the United States.

One Use Of Computerized Instructional Gaming In Legal Education: To Better Understand The Rich Logical Structure Of Legal Rules And Improve Legal Writing, Layman E. Allen, Charles S. Saxon
Articles
This article describes an innovation in legal education and speculates about its importance and effectiveness as an educational tool. The speculations about its potential use, however, are ones that each legal educator will be able to test individually to determine the effectiveness of this use of microcomputers to improve legal education. The computer software that permits the innovation to be used will be available to interested persons by the time that this article is published.

The Formulaic Constitution, Robert F. Nagel
The Formulaic Constitution, Robert F. Nagel
Publications
The Supreme Court's constitutional jurisprudence of late has been filled with formulae - tests that must be met, hurdles that must be overcome. This multi-pronged analytical technique is, according to Professor Nagel, distancing the Justices from both their audience, the American public, and their text, the Constitution. In an effort to retain the authority of that text, the Court is instead displacing it; in an effort to persuade that audience, the Court is instead excluding it. Furthermore, the Court's attempt to constrain judges has actually created an irresponsible judicial freedom, while its attempt to locate a middle ground between the …
