The Idea Of The "Private": A Discussion Of Stateaction Doctrine And Separate Sphere Ideology, Hester Lessard Sep 1986

The Idea Of The "Private": A Discussion Of Stateaction Doctrine And Separate Sphere Ideology, Hester Lessard

Dalhousie Law Journal

This essay is a discussion of the formalization in law of a dichotomy between a natural, private order on the one hand, and a public sphere of state action and citizenship on the other. The discussion takes place in the context of equality rights and of the philosophical tensions that underlie the delineation of rights in general. Two legal phenomena are examined: state action doctrine as it has developed in American equal protection jurisprudence under the Fourteenth Amendment and separate sphere ideology as a rationalization for sexual discrimination. Under each doctrine, judicial denial of relief is predicated on a pre-ordained …

The Moral Dilemma Of Positivism, Anthony D'Amato Jan 1986

The Moral Dilemma Of Positivism, Anthony D'Amato

Faculty Working Papers

I think there has been an advance in positivist thinking, and that advance consists of the recognition by MacCormick, a positivist, that positivism needs to be justified morally (and not just as an apparent scientific and objective fact about legal systems). But the justification that is required cannot consist in labelling "sovereignty of conscience" as a moral principle, nor in compounding the confusion by claiming that positivism minimally and hence necessarily promotes sovereignty of conscience. We need, from the positivists, a more logical and coherent argument than that. Until one comes along, I continue to believe that positivists inherently have …


Alternative Methodologies In Contemporary Jurisprudence: Comments On Dworkin, Philip E. Soper Jan 1986

Alternative Methodologies In Contemporary Jurisprudence: Comments On Dworkin, Philip E. Soper

Articles

I have two brief points to make. Both involve recent developments in jurisprudence, by which I mean by and large the subject that Ronald Dworkin has just been discussing. Indeed, the first point is little more than an acknowledgement of the debt that is owed to Dworkin, not only for his specific contributions to this field, but for the implications of his work for law teaching generally.


Arbitration From The Viewpoint Of The Practicing Attorney: An Analysis Of Arbitration Cases Decided By The New York State Court Of Appeals From January, 1973 To September, 1985, Hugh R. Jones Jan 1986

Arbitration From The Viewpoint Of The Practicing Attorney: An Analysis Of Arbitration Cases Decided By The New York State Court Of Appeals From January, 1973 To September, 1985, Hugh R. Jones

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Over a period of years, recourse has increasingly been had to arbitration as a method of dispute resolution in both the public and the private sectors. There is every indication that this trend will continue and expand in the future. In his opening address at the 1985 Annual Meeting of the American Law Institute last May, Chief Justice Warren Burger urged us to "take a fresh look at the entire structure we have created to resolve disputes" and deplored the fact that "as we now practice it, that system is too costly, too painful, too destructive and too inefficient."' At …

An Alternative Approach To The Good Faith Controversy, Ronald J. Bacigal Jan 1986

An Alternative Approach To The Good Faith Controversy, Ronald J. Bacigal

Law Faculty Publications

This Article examines the role of police motivation in all facets of fourth amendment jurisprudence and demonstrates that the Court has often considered good faith as one relevant but ill-defined factor in determining substantive aspects of the fourth amendment. The Article concludes that this ambiguous and flexible approach to substantive fourth amendment rights should be utilized when applying the remedy of exclusion.


The "Natural Law Tradition", John M. Finnis Jan 1986

The "Natural Law Tradition", John M. Finnis

Journal Articles

This "tradition of natural law theory" has three main features: First, critique and rejection of ethical scepticism, dogmatism and conventionalism; Second, clarification of the methodology of descriptive and explanatory social theories (e.g., political science, economics, jurisprudence .... ); Third, critique and rejection of aggregative conceptions of the right and the just (e.g., consequentialism, utilitarianism, wealth-maximization, "proportionalism"...).

The Future Of Legal Scholarship And The Search For A Modern Theory Of Law, Donald H. Gjerdingen Jan 1986

The Future Of Legal Scholarship And The Search For A Modern Theory Of Law, Donald H. Gjerdingen

Articles by Maurer Faculty

In this Article, Professor Gjerdingen argues that the current crisis in legal scholarship can be traced to a change in the dominant concept of American law. He argues that virtually all of the significant schools of American legal thought during the last century, from Langdellian orthodoxy to realism to the legal process school, were dominated by a concept of law that separated law and politics. This concept of law, which he terms "conventionalism," presumed that law was an autonomous, apolitical discipline dominated by the study of adjudication and classical common law categories. In contrast, the new legal scholarship of the …


Attempting The Impossible: The Emerging Consensus, Ira Robbins Jan 1986

Attempting The Impossible: The Emerging Consensus, Ira Robbins

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Impossible attempts are situations in which an actor fails to consummate a substantive crime because he is mistaken about attendant circumstances. Professor Robbins divides mistakes regarding circumstances into three categories: mistakes of fact, mistakes of law, and mistakes of mixed fact and law. Courts and commentators disagree primarily over the identification and treatment of mixed fact law cases. Professor Robbins surveys each category of mistake. He then examines the objective, subjective, and hybrid approaches to dealing with the mixed fact/law category. The objective approach requires an objective manifestation of the actor's intent before conviction is allowed. The subjective approach permits …

Confronting Uncertainty In Child Abuse Adjudication: A Contextual Analysis Of Theories Of The Judical Role In A Changing Society, Lawrence W. Cohen Mar 1985

Confronting Uncertainty In Child Abuse Adjudication: A Contextual Analysis Of Theories Of The Judical Role In A Changing Society, Lawrence W. Cohen

Antioch Law Journal

Throughout history scholars have attempted to defend myriad conceptions of the judicial role. For instance, Corwin believed that law, embodied in nature, was to be discovered by judges.1 Cardozo also envisioned an active judiciary, responsible for keeping law consistent with the mores of the day.2 Wigmore, on the other hand, felt that personalizing justice through judicial discretion is the "antithesis of the Anglo-Saxon conception of justice."' 3 Rather, justice, if attainable at all, must be achieved through strict rule application. 4 Whereas 19th-century scholarship focused on formal rules, recent authorities have turned to contemplating how legal decisions are made and …


Whither Jurisprudence?, Anthony D'Amato Jan 1985

Whither Jurisprudence?, Anthony D'Amato

Faculty Working Papers

After considering the side road of critical legal studies, I shall try to indicate the major signposts to a more complete jurisprudence. These signposts take the form of questions or anomalies in our present understanding of law. I will conclude that only by following these signposts, by exploring these questions and anomalies, will we begin to uncover the nature of law and justice.

English Common Law In Virgina, William Hamilton Bryson Jan 1985

English Common Law In Virgina, William Hamilton Bryson

Law Faculty Publications

By statute the common law of England is the basis of the common law of modern Virginia. This reception statute refers to the customary, unwritten law of the kingdom of England, but only that part which was general and common to all parts of England. That the English common law is the foundation of the law of Virginia is a matter not merely of a modern statute but also of history and reason.


The Formulaic Constitution, Robert F. Nagel Jan 1985

The Formulaic Constitution, Robert F. Nagel

Publications

The Supreme Court's constitutional jurisprudence of late has been filled with formulae - tests that must be met, hurdles that must be overcome. This multi-pronged analytical technique is, according to Professor Nagel, distancing the Justices from both their audience, the American public, and their text, the Constitution. In an effort to retain the authority of that text, the Court is instead displacing it; in an effort to persuade that audience, the Court is instead excluding it. Furthermore, the Court's attempt to constrain judges has actually created an irresponsible judicial freedom, while its attempt to locate a middle ground between the …
