Liberating Lawyers: Divergent Parallels In Intruder In The Dust And To Kill A Mockingbird, Rob Atkinson Dec 1999

Liberating Lawyers: Divergent Parallels In Intruder In The Dust And To Kill A Mockingbird, Rob Atkinson

Duke Law Journal

Professor Atkinson hopes William Faulkner's Intruder in the Dust will replace Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird as our favorite story of lawyerly virtue. In both stories, a white male lawyer and his protege try to free a black man falsely accused of a capital crime. But below these superficial similarities, Professor Atkinson finds fundamental differences. To Kill a Mockingbird, with its father-knows-best attorney, Atticus Pinch, celebrates lawyerly paternalism; Intruder in the Dust, through its aristocratic black hero, Lucas Beauchamp, and his lay allies, challenges the rule of lawyers, if not law itself The first urges us to serve others …

The Vertical Separation Of Powers, Victoria Nourse Dec 1999

The Vertical Separation Of Powers, Victoria Nourse

Duke Law Journal

Standard understandings of the separation of powers begin with the concept of function. Professor Nourse argues that function alone cannot predict important changes in structural incentives and thus serves as a poor proxy for assessing real risks to governmental structure. To illustrate this point, the Article returns to proposals considered at the Constitutional Convention and considers difficult contemporary cases such as Morrison v. Olson, Clinton v. Jones, and the Supreme Court's more recent federalism decisions. In each instance, function appears to steer us wrong because it fails to understand separation of powers questions as ones of structural incentive and political …


How Permanent Became Temporary In Del Monte Dunes, Michael C. Levine Dec 1999

How Permanent Became Temporary In Del Monte Dunes, Michael C. Levine

Duke Law Journal

Regulatory takings are like car accidents. They fascinate us. We cannot help slowing down to look. What a disaster, we say to ourselves. We are so glad it did not happen to us. But we wonder if we could be next, We think about who is at fault, who should pay for the damages, and how it all could have been avoided in the first place And we question how the rules of the road could be improved so that such collisions in the future could be averted.

Choice Or Commonality: Welfare And Schooling After The End Of Welfare As We Knew It, Martha Minow Nov 1999

Choice Or Commonality: Welfare And Schooling After The End Of Welfare As We Knew It, Martha Minow

Duke Law Journal

Reflecting market rhetoric but also potentially advancing spiritual and religious values, school voucher plans dominate current debates on education reform. These voucher plans would enable parents to use public dollars to select private schools, including parochial ones, for their children. Moreover, the recent federal welfare reform includes the "charitable choice" provision, which enables states to issue vouchers to individuals who can redeem them for services and aid from private, including religious, entities. In this Article, Professor Minow predicts that constitutional challenges to these plans under the religion clauses are likely to result in judicial approval of school vouchers and judicial …


Whose Who? The Case For A Kantian Right Of Publicity, Alice Haemmerli Nov 1999

Whose Who? The Case For A Kantian Right Of Publicity, Alice Haemmerli

Duke Law Journal

Rapidly developing technological opportunities for unauthorized uses of identity-from "virtual kidnapping" to digitalcasting-coincide with growing demand for a preemptive federal right of publicity that can replace the existing welter of inconsistent state laws. Progress is impeded, however, by intractable doctrinal confusion and academic hostility to the right as allegedly inimical to society's cultural need to manipulate celebrity images. Because the right of publicity is traditionally based on Lockean labor theory and analogized to intellectual property in created works, it is vulnerable to such attacks; to date, no serious attempt has been made to elaborate an alternative philosophical justification that can …

The Constitutionality Of Mandatory Public School Community Service Programs, Rodney A. Smolla

Law and Contemporary Problems

Constitutional challenges to community service programs may be divided into two generic types--those raised by students or parents who object to the requirement of community service, and those raised by students, parents, organizations, or agencies who object to the selection criteria used to include or exclude organizations or agencies eligible to participate in community service programs.
