Enforcement Provisions Of The Civil Rights Act Of 1866: A Legislative History In Light Of Runyon V. Mccrary, The Review Essay And Comments: Reconstructing Reconstruction, Robert J. Kaczorowski
Faculty Scholarship
The purpose of this Comment is to examine the history of the enactment and early enforcement of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 from the perspective of the remedies Congress sought to provide to meet the problems that necessitated the legislation. Its main foci are the statute's enforcement provisions and their early implementation, an aspect of the history of the statute that has not been fully considered in relation to section one, the provision that has received the most scholarly attention. The occasion of this study is the Supreme Court's reconsideration of Runyon v. McCrary' in Patterson v. McLean Credit …

No Exit?: Opting Out, The Contractual Theory Of The Corporation, And The Special Case Of Remedies, John C. Coffee Jr.
Faculty Scholarship
Aloof and insular as corporate law often seems, it cannot remain uninfluenced for very long by developments in the mainstream of American civil law. In that mainstream, there is today flowing a strong, swift current called "tort reform." As currents go, this one is remarkably broad and perhaps a little shallow, but on it floats a number of diverse legislative proposals – ceilings on liability, restrictions on attorneys' fees, greater reliance on alternative methods of dispute resolution, restrictions on joint and several liability and contribution, and the curtailment of punitive damages. All of these proposals flow from the same wellspring: …
Impossibility And Related Excuses, Victor P. Goldberg
Impossibility And Related Excuses, Victor P. Goldberg
Faculty Scholarship
In the first section I present an e of why reasonable businessmen would choose to excuse performance for some changed circumstances, but not others. In the remainder of the paper I will analyze specific problems that have arisen in the impossibility case law and literature. The explanation forwarded in Section 1 will play a prominent role in much of that discussion. Largely because their paper stimulated my thoughts on the problem, I will contrast my analysis of some of the specific cases to that of Posner and Rosenfield [1977]. I will not, except in passing, critique the case law, the …

In their recent article in this journal, Boudreaux and Ekelund [1987] ha presented a distorted characterization of some of my work on the economics o regulation.

Reflections On Fuller And Perdue's The Reliance Interest In Contract Damages: A Positive Economic Framework, Avery W. Katz
Reflections On Fuller And Perdue's The Reliance Interest In Contract Damages: A Positive Economic Framework, Avery W. Katz
Faculty Scholarship
Fuller and Perdue's classic article, The Reliance Interest in Contract Damages, is regarded by many contemporary contracts scholars as the single most influential law review article in the field. For those of us who teach and think about contracts from the perspective of law and economics, the consensus would probably be close to unanimous. The article displays an approach highly congenial to an economic perspective. The connection goes beyond Fuller and Perdue's explicitly functional approach to law (which law and economics shares with other schools of thought descended from the legal realists) and beyond Fuller and Perdue's focus on …
