It then examines recent legal events including federal statutory changes, three Supreme Court cases, and a federal circuit court case which have limited legal resources for those who cannot pay. The article then examines these developments in the context of a sea-change in the political environment of the nation, coinciding with …

Ethnography And The Idealized Accounts Of Science In Law, David Caudill
David S Caudill
An idealized description of scientific activity persists in law and legal literature. Social aspects of science are regularly acknowledged and then dismissed as temporary, irrelevant, or eliminable.

After explaining how ethnomethodology is used to explore the inevitable social, institutional, and rhetorical aspects of science, I identify numerous social aspects and suggest how understanding their role in the production of scientific knowledge might help attorneys and judges in their evaluations of scientific …

Has The Supreme Court Sounded The Death Knell For Jury Assessed Punitive Damages? A Critical Re-Examination Of The American Jury, Lisa Litwiller
Lisa Litwiller
LAST TERM, the United States Supreme Court drastically altered the balance of power between judge and jury, and the legal community barely noticed. Although Cooper Industries, Inc. v.
