Thinking Things, Not Words: Irvin Rutter's Pragmatic Jurisprudence Of Teaching, Gordon A. Christenson Jan 1992

Thinking Things, Not Words: Irvin Rutter's Pragmatic Jurisprudence Of Teaching, Gordon A. Christenson

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

Those of us in legal education and in the profession of law are in debt to the Law Review for publishing in this issue the last work of the late Professor Irvin Rutter, Law, Language, and Thinking Like a Lawyer.

On the occasion of Irvin Rutter's retirement in 1980, I briefly summarized these earlier contributions, locating them within the legal realist tradition, and we awaited the publication of his last work, then still in draft not quite satisfactory to Professor Rutter. In this essay, I situate his final work on teaching law in the pragmatist tradition with special emphasis on …


Covenant And Feminist Reconstructions Of Subjectivity Within Theories Of Justice, Janet Moore Jan 1992

Covenant And Feminist Reconstructions Of Subjectivity Within Theories Of Justice, Janet Moore

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

This Article bridges the dichotomy between communitarian and liberal social contract conceptions of subjectivity by excavating the deeply rooted meaning of covenant as a promissory relationship constitutive of identity. I trace the covenant paradigm’s role in formative debates over the creation of “We the People” as a constitutional subject. I connect tensions in that debate with polarities between freedom and equality and between the private and social construction of first-order value claims. I argue that feminist-intersubjectivist critiques of Rawls’ Theory of Justice can benefit from a careful mining of the covenant paradigm’s emancipatory potential for metaethical and constitutional doctrine.


Preventing Bhopal: "Dead Zones" And Toxic Death Risk Index Taxes, Bradford Mank Jan 1992

Preventing Bhopal: "Dead Zones" And Toxic Death Risk Index Taxes, Bradford Mank

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

On December 5, 1984, a pesticide manufacturing plant leaked highly toxic methyl isocyanate (MIC) and the resulting cloud of gas killed over 2,000 people and injured more than 200,000 others living in the shantytowns of Bhopal, India. While no toxic accident in the United States has approached the magnitude of Bhopal, a 1988 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) study found that 11,048 accidental releases of extremely hazardous substances occurred between 1982 and 1986. These accidents caused 309 deaths, 11,341 injuries and the evacuation of 464,677 people from homes and jobs. The EPA estimated that seventeen of these accidents could …

Payne V. Tennessee: The Arbitrary Imposition Of The Death Penalty And A Review Of Florida Case Law Since: Booth V. Maryland, Michael P. Koller Jan 1992

Payne V. Tennessee: The Arbitrary Imposition Of The Death Penalty And A Review Of Florida Case Law Since: Booth V. Maryland, Michael P. Koller

Nova Law Review

In Booth v. Maryland,1 the United States Supreme Court decided

that evidence relating to a victim's character and the extent of harm

caused to the victim's family and community was inadmissible to deter-

mine whether a defendant convicted of a capital crime should be put to

death. The majority in Booth, while empathizing with the grief of a

victim's family, recognized the potential danger such evidence has on a

jury to sentence defendants to death based on such arbitrary factors as

what kind of person the victim was and the unforeseeable harm the

victim's death had on others.

Mexico's New Foreign Investment Regulations: A Legal Analysis, J. H. Kepner Jr. Jan 1992

Mexico's New Foreign Investment Regulations: A Legal Analysis, J. H. Kepner Jr.

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

new Regulations seem to open Mexico up for foreign investment, they cause potential legal problems of which an investor must be aware. The Regulations are vague and confusing in many areas, and the Mexican government exercises great discretion in interpreting many of its provisions. Moreover, the Regulations, as they are written, appear to violate certain provisions of Mexico's Constitution. 7 If so, a potential investor may one day find, that though he followed the Regulations to the letter, he nonetheless violated Mexican law. This could have serious ramifications for both himself and his investment.

Conveyance Of Real Estate - Parol Gift Of Land - Statute Of Frauds, Kirk D. Houser

Duquesne Law Review

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has held that an alleged parol gift of land between blood relatives lacked immediate donative intent and a clear and unambiguous acceptance, where the donee rejected conveyances of the same property, because of issues collateral to the gift and independent of the disputed property interest.

Post-Revolutionary Law And Economics:A Foreword To The Symposium, Anthony D'Amato Jan 1992

Post-Revolutionary Law And Economics:A Foreword To The Symposium, Anthony D'Amato

Faculty Working Papers

The Lanec (short for Law and Economics) movement of the 1970s hit the legal landscape like a nuclear device and permanently irradiated it. A couple of decades later, as we sift through the fallout, we are entitled to ask whether anything fundamental has changed. Every contributor to this Symposium seems to answer yes. Maybe they're like the book reviewer who believes deep in her heart that the book is worthless, but if she reveals it the editor will conclude that there is no point in printing her review. Let me put my own biases on the table. In general I …
