Jury Fact-Finding In Criminal Cases: Constitutional Limits On Factual Disagreements Among Convicting Jurors, Scott W. Howe

Scott W. Howe

In recent decades, the potential for factual disagreement among convicting jurors has emerged as a prevalent constitutional claim. In United States v. Gipson, 553 F.2d 453 (5th Cir. 1977), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit became the first federal court to reverse a conviction under the Constitution on this basis. Following Gipson, criminal defendants raised a variety of challenges alleging the potential for juror disagreement over the facts constituting the crime. Courts also sometimes reversed guilty verdicts based on these arguments, often citing Gipson. However, the Gipson decision remained controversial. Some courts simply rejected its holding. Others …

The Third Amendment: Forgotten But Not Gone, Tom W. Bell

Tom W. Bell

Pity the Third Amendment. The other amendments of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights inspire public adoration and volumes of legal research. Meanwhile, the Third Amendment languishes in comparative oblivion or, worse yet, suffers ridicule. The Third Amendment has especially suffered from a lack of serious and sustained legal analysis. This paper aims to fill the most glaring gaps in Third Amendment scholarship, so as to round out our knowledge of the Bill of Rights and to pay the Third Amendment respect long past due.

The Persistence Of Power And The Struggle For Dialogic Standards In Postmodern Constitutional Jurisprudence: Michelman, Habermas, And Civic Republicanism, Stephen M. Feldman

Stephen M. Feldman

Since the 1950s, most constitutional scholars have presumed that the American political system is pluralistic, with autonomous individuals struggling in the legislative arena to maximize the satisfaction of their preexisting private interests. The "new republicans" reject these presumptions and insist that constitutional jurisprudence must recognize the potential for virtuous citizens to engage in a political dialogue that generates public values and identifies a common good. Frank I. Michelman has pioneered this revival by confronting one of the most troubling and persistent difficulties of civic republican thought: the likelihood that the political dialogue will be closed to segments of the community …

Battered But Not Beaten: Women Who Kill In Self Defence, Ian D. Leader-Elliott Professor

Ian D Leader-Elliott Professor

This essay commences with a critical evaluation of the battered woman syndrome. It continues with an illustrative biographical fragment, before discussing the polemics of excuse and justification in American criminal law. The concluding section provides an account of the law of self defence and provocation in their application to defensive homicides against attack by an intimate aggressor. The argument of the essay is that Australian common law is capable of discriminating and compassionate justice, in cases of self defence against intimate aggressors and provocation by intimate aggressors. Recourse to the dubious theory that the victims of domestic violence are characterised …

The Incremental Harm Doctrine: Is There Life After Masson?, Erin Daly

Erin Daly

A defamation is a statement that "tends so to harm the reputation of another as to lower him in the estimation of the community or to deter third persons from associating or dealing with him." Harm to reputation is the linchpin of American libel law. The incremental harm doctrine applies in libel litigation where the challenged statement causes no significant damage to the plaintiff's reputation beyond the harm caused by the remainder of the publication. If the defendant can show that the publication would have had exactly the same effect on the plaintiff's reputation had the challenged portion been excised, …

The Capricious Cushion: The Implications Of The Directors And Insurance Liability Crisis On Canadian Corporate Governance, Ronald J. Daniels, Susan Hutton

Ronald J. Daniels

One of the clearest legacies of the growing concern expressed over the international competitiveness of Canadian and American businesses has been the urgency it has lent to a very old debate respecting the efficacy of the apparatus used to govern the business and affairs of large, public corporations. For instance, Michael Porter, one of the most articulate - if not the most prolific - of the new competitiveness scholars, has suggested that American economic performance could be improved by enhancing the performance of the traditional corporate governance apparatus. In this respect, his suggestions closely track the thrust of recent reform …
