Chief Justice John Roberts: Institutionalist Or Hubris-In-Chief?, Eric J. Segall

Washington and Lee Law Review Online

The conventional wisdom among Supreme Court scholars and commentators is that Chief Justice John Roberts is an institutionalist who cares deeply about both his personal legacy and the Supreme Court’s prestige over time. This essay challenges that belief. While the Chief certainly cares about how the Court is perceived by the public, as do most of the justices, what most defines Roberts is his hubris—not a concern for the Court’s legitimacy or even his own place in history. Across the vast landscape of constitutional law, Roberts has distorted precedent and ignored text and history to further his own policy preferences. …

The Authority Of The Court To Use The Most Practical Evidence In The Private International Law: A Comparative Study", Dr. Yasser Bassem Al-Sabawi, Khalil Ibrahim Mohammed Feb 2021

The Authority Of The Court To Use The Most Practical Evidence In The Private International Law: A Comparative Study", Dr. Yasser Bassem Al-Sabawi, Khalil Ibrahim Mohammed

A right whose source can not be proven whether legal or legal fact, is worthless.

It is even more important when examining the issue of evidence in private international law, in particular the question of acceptance …
