The Irish Abortion Debate: Substantive Rights And Affecting Commerce Jurisprudential Models, Anne M. Hilbert Jan 1994

The Irish Abortion Debate: Substantive Rights And Affecting Commerce Jurisprudential Models, Anne M. Hilbert

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Note examines the balance of power between the European Community and its Member States through the window of the Irish abortion debate. The framework for that debate has been shaped largely by two judicial bodies: the Irish judiciary and the European Court of Justice (ECJ), the judicial arm of the European Community. The Irish judiciary has approached the abortion question through an analysis of the content of substantive individual rights protected by the Irish Constitution. The ECJ, on the other hand, has addressed abortion from the standpoint of the European Community's goal of uninhibited commerce between Member States. These …

Provisional Measures In The Inter-American Human Rights System: An Innovative Development In International Law, Jo M. Pasqualucci Nov 1993

Provisional Measures In The Inter-American Human Rights System: An Innovative Development In International Law, Jo M. Pasqualucci

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In this Article, Professor Pasqualucci examines the developing jurisprudence of provisional measures in the Inter-American human rights system. Through the adoption of provisional measures, a human rights court may order a state to protect persons who are in danger of imminent death or torture. The author first provides an overview of the Inter-American system of human rights. She then describes the historical background of the jurisprudence of provisional measures in the International Court of Justice and the European human rights system, which served as models for provisional measures in the developing Inter-American system. Finally, she analyzes the use of provisional …


Law Reform Error: Retry Or Abort?, Audrey Macklin Oct 1993

Law Reform Error: Retry Or Abort?, Audrey Macklin

Dalhousie Law Journal

The void left by the demise of the Law Reform Commission of Canada (LRCC) in 1991 presents an opportunity to rethink the scope and legitimacy of law reform as it has been conceptualized and practised by academic lawyers. I am concerned that the dominant meaning ascribed to the term "federal law reform" under the tenure of the LRCC was partial, inadequate, and ultimately conservatizing in its influence. In reviewing past commentary on law reform in Canada, I have been struck by the recurring themes that emerged from the literature. I was particularly impressed by an exceptional piece written by the …


Theories Of Poetry, Theories Of Law, Lawrence Joseph Oct 1993

Theories Of Poetry, Theories Of Law, Lawrence Joseph

Vanderbilt Law Review

I write poetry." Also, since 1976, when I was admitted to practice before a state bar, I have served as a law clerk for a justice of a state supreme court, practiced, and mostly taught law. About the time that I began law school, while I was writing poems that would appear in my first book, an extraordinary change in jurisprudence began to occur, one which focused on legal language as something more than a medium for conveying singular meaning. This legal theory has become as important as any since legal realism. Because I also have written essays and re- …


Jacob Burns And The Institute For Advanced Legal Studies, David G. Carlson Oct 1993

Jacob Burns And The Institute For Advanced Legal Studies, David G. Carlson

Cardozo Law Review

Jacob Burns lived a long and fabled life, which was obviously its own reward. Among the very many things that could be said, and the thing I would like to memorialize here, is the profound legacy Mr. Bums left behind at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where he served as chairman of the board for many years and as founder of the Jacob Bums Institute for Advanced Legal Studies. In his memory, I would like to say a little about the history of this endeavor and Mr. Burns's role in it.


Jacob Burns's Generosity, June D. Wolfman Oct 1993

Jacob Burns's Generosity, June D. Wolfman

Cardozo Law Review

At Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, as in so many other places, Mr. Jacob Bums is known for his exceptionally generous financial contributions. Through the Jacob Bums Scholars Program, I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Bums on several occasions. It was clear to me, and to all of us in the program, that Mr. Bums's support of our school and its students was far more than financial. Mr. Bums supported our student body from his heart.

A History And Evaluation Of Dworkin's Theory Of Law, Rudy V. Buller Apr 1993

A History And Evaluation Of Dworkin's Theory Of Law, Rudy V. Buller

Dalhousie Law Journal

If we consider Ronald Dworkin's essay, "The Model of Rules" ', to be the first expression of his theory of law, then we have reached the 25th anniversary of that theory. And there can be little doubt that, for the most part of the last quarter century, Professor Dworkin has been the most influential legal philosopher in the English-speaking world.

Rules Versus Standards: An Economic Analysis, Louis Kaplow Dec 1992

Rules Versus Standards: An Economic Analysis, Louis Kaplow

Duke Law Journal

This Article offers an economic analysis of the extent to which legal commands should be promulgated as rules or standards. Two dimensions of the problem are emphasized. First, the choice between rules and standards affects costs: Rules typically are more costly than standards to create, whereas standards tend to be more costly for individuals to interpret when deciding how to act and for an adjudicator to apply to past conduct. Second, when individuals can determine the application of rules to their contemplated acts more cheaply, conduct is more likely to reflect the content of previously promulgated rules than of standards …

Consideration And Estoppel: Problem And Panacea, Bruce Macdougall Oct 1992

Consideration And Estoppel: Problem And Panacea, Bruce Macdougall

Dalhousie Law Journal

In his book, The History of the Common Law of Contract, A.W.B. Simpson demonstrates that consideration originally seems to have meant the "matter of inducement" - the "why" of entering a promise.' He writes: "The essence of the doctrine of consideration, then, is the adoption by the common law of the idea that the legal effect of a promise should depend upon the factor or factors which motivated the promise. To decide whether a promise to do X is binding, you need to know why the promise was made."2 In modem terms, according to Simpson, a promise which lacks any …
