Florida Legal History: The Courts And Law During The Civil War, Reconstruction And Restoration Eras, Robert W. Lee
Florida Legal History: The Courts And Law During The Civil War, Reconstruction And Restoration Eras, Robert W. Lee
St. Thomas Law Review
Florida's legal heritage includes a wide range of direct influences. Spanish law played a role in the establishment of Florida territorial law, which was gradually superseded by English common law. Florida's ties to the other southern states contributed to the development of local laws consistent with those of the Old South. Even today, the root of many existing Florida laws lies in these historical eras. Those seeking to interpret unclear law would be assisted in knowing the historical reasons behind particular legislation or court decisions. One remarkable era is that of the years from 1860 through 1880, a time of …

Voting And Electoral Politics In The Wisconsin Supreme Court, Jason J. Czarnezki
Voting And Electoral Politics In The Wisconsin Supreme Court, Jason J. Czarnezki
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This Article examines criminal cases decided by the Wisconsin Supreme Court over a fifteen-year period in an effort to discern whether judicial elections undercut judicial independence by affecting the ways justices vote. Wisconsin was chosen for this study because the state's mix of appointed and elected judges allows a researcher to control for different judicial selection systems. Specifically, this Article questions whether voting patterns may be affected by a justice's proximity to judicial elections, election margins, and whether a justice was appointed or elected in the initial term, since the governor may appoint a justice to fill a vacancy on …

Constitutional Existence Conditions And Judicial Review, Matthew D. Adler, Michael C. Dorf
Constitutional Existence Conditions And Judicial Review, Matthew D. Adler, Michael C. Dorf
Faculty Scholarship
Although critics of judicial review sometimes call for making the entire Constitution nonjusticiable, many familiar norms of constitutional law state what we call "existence conditions" that are necessarily enforced by judicial actors charged with the responsibility of applying, and thus as a preliminary step, identifying, propositions of sub-constitutional law such as statutes. Article I, Section 7, which sets forth the procedures by which a bill becomes a law, is an example: a putative law that did not go through the Article I, Section 7 process and does not satisfy an alternative test for legal validity (such as the treaty-making provision …
Empirical Research Into The Chinese Judicial System, Donald C. Clarke
Empirical Research Into The Chinese Judicial System, Donald C. Clarke
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
The last few years have seen a proliferation of programs by Western states and international agencies designed, in broad terms, to promote reforms in the Chinese judicial system. What is not clear, however, is whether there has been systematic thinking about the precise goals to be sought in these and other projects, whether these goals are appropriate, and indeed whether their achievement can even be ascertained in some measurable way. This paper is an attempt to think about what we know, what we might want to know, and what we can know about China's judicial system, broadly defined.

The War On Terrorism And The Constitution, Michael I. Meyerson
The War On Terrorism And The Constitution, Michael I. Meyerson
All Faculty Scholarship
Discussion of civil liberties during wartime often omit the fact that there can be no meaningful liberty at all if our homes and offices are bombed or our loved ones are killed or injured by acts of terror. The Government must be given the tools necessary to accomplish its vital mission. The first priority must be to win the war against terrorism. There are, however, other priorities. The United States, in its just battle for freedom, must ensure that freedom is preserved during that battle as well. Moreover, care must be taken so that an exaggerated cry of “emergency” is …
Amending Authors And Constitutional Discourse, Barbara Darby
Amending Authors And Constitutional Discourse, Barbara Darby
Dalhousie Law Journal
The author surveys various theories related to the concept of constitutional amendment, reviewing the importance of the notion of authorship to the amending process, and the related theories about constitutional legitimacy and judicial activism. In seeking an alternative conceptualization of authorship that is applicable to constitutional amendment, she reviews Michel Foucault's essay on authorship, and specifically his notion of the transdiscursive author who originates a "return" to an original text, which she presents as a useful context in which to read the constitutional amendment process. Constitutional discourse, using Foucault's approach to discourse, occupies a significant cultural and social position. She …
After The Revolution: Being Pragmatic And Functional In Canada's Trial Courts And Courts Of Appeal, William Lahey, Diana Ginn
After The Revolution: Being Pragmatic And Functional In Canada's Trial Courts And Courts Of Appeal, William Lahey, Diana Ginn
Dalhousie Law Journal
In a 1998 decision, Pushpanathan v Canada, the Supreme Court of Canada synthesized and revised the previous jurisprudence on "pragmatic and functional analysis" - the approach used since the late 1980's to determine the appropriate standard of deference in substantive review of administrative decision making. The next year, in Baker v. Canada, the Court expanded the reach of the pragmatic and functional analysis by applying it to the exercise of administrative discretion. This paper examines approximately 275 lower court decisions to determine how courts across Canada are responding to and implementing the doctrinal change initiated by the Supreme Court. Patterns …

The Law Of Options, Keith Evans
The Law Of Options, Keith Evans
Dalhousie Law Journal
Little attention is devoted to the law of options in major Canadian texts on contract law or in periodical literature. One might, therefore, assume that the law in this area is well settled and that few major cases come before the courts. However, a review of appellate decisions in Canada indicates significant judicial interest in the topic which would challenge those assumptions. In fact, appellate courts in various common law jurisdictions continue to struggle with many doctrinal issues related to this specialized type of contract. This article provides a comprehensive review of the law of options in Canada, and identifies …
