The Supreme Court's Use Of Per Curiam Dispositions: The Connection To Oral Argument, Stephen L. Wasby, Steven Peterson, James Shubert, Glendon Shubert Nov 1992

The Supreme Court's Use Of Per Curiam Dispositions: The Connection To Oral Argument, Stephen L. Wasby, Steven Peterson, James Shubert, Glendon Shubert

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This study is an empirical examination of a set of the Supreme Court's per curiam rulings issued after oral argument between 1969 and 1981. The authors use transcripts of Supreme Court oral argument and the Court's opinions to untangle relationships between oral argument and dispositions, particularly when the Court does not reach the merits. The authors note that oral argument clarifies issues and helps the justices narrow them. The Court's comments in its per curiam dispositions indicate that oral argument is relevant for the Court's dispositions and at times it has been more determinative of outcomes, for example, when counsel's …


"The Right Of Privacy", Fernando Bustos Sep 1992

"The Right Of Privacy", Fernando Bustos

Brigham Young University Prelaw Review

The concept of a right of privacy is one that is currently the focal point of the argument for legalized abortion, and for women's rights in general. By examining the history of this issue, along with its influence upon the U.S. Constitution, and the decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, we will be better enabled to understand the legal debate at hand.

No Harm, No Foul: Pornography (Violent And Otherwise), Victoria M. Mather Jan 1992

No Harm, No Foul: Pornography (Violent And Otherwise), Victoria M. Mather

Faculty Articles

At the heart of the entire pornography debate is the lack of understanding or agreement of what is regulated. Society does not agree about what pornography means, what is hardcore or softcore, what is obscene, or what is "adult." The disagreement tends to derive from two very different viewpoints—the liberal view, and the feminist view. On the liberal side of the debate, pornography should be protected speech but on the feminist side, society should take into account the feminist perspective and the harmful effects of these graphic depictions.

Applying the Miller-Roth test, liberals believe that pornography is protected speech until …

When “Special Needs” Meet Probable Cause: Denying The Devil Benefit Of Law, Gerald S. Reamey Jan 1992

When “Special Needs” Meet Probable Cause: Denying The Devil Benefit Of Law, Gerald S. Reamey

Faculty Articles

Removing laws to pursue the lawbreaker may be well intentioned, but the result is that society is susceptible to the evils those laws protect against. The traditional Fourth Amendment safeguards--probable cause and warrants--have been abandoned due to the development of a reasonableness standard because of the presence of “special needs” that were used to justify searches. The adoption of this alternative approach to Fourth Amendment interpretation was signalled by the truly landmark case of Terry v. Ohio.

By adopting the “reasonableness” analysis, the Supreme Court altered the impact of the exclusionary rule without directly modifying the rule. After Griffin v. …

The Paradox Of United State Democracy, C. A. Gearty Jan 1992

The Paradox Of United State Democracy, C. A. Gearty

University of Richmond Law Review

This program is about a paradox at the heart of American democracy. We take it for granted that elected officials, like President Bush and members of Congress, run America. In fact, many of the country's most important decisions are taken by nine unelected lawyers accountable to no one. It is a paradox which is increasingly under scrutiny as more and more Americans are coming to question the power of their Supreme Court.
