The Marginal Relevance Of Choice Of Law Theory, Stewart E. Sterk Jan 1994

The Marginal Relevance Of Choice Of Law Theory, Stewart E. Sterk

Articles

The article critiques the current state of choice of law theory, arguing that existing methodologies, such as interest analysis and territorial approaches, fail to provide a coherent framework for judicial decision-making. It contends that these theories are overly rigid and do not account for the practical, fact-driven nature of how judges make choices. The author proposes a new test based on expressive similarity to address the complexities of modern copyright disputes, aiming to distinguish between protected expression and unprotected ideas. This approach seeks to balance the protection of creative works with the need to prevent overprotection, which could streamline litigation …

Conflict Of Laws And Accuracy In The Allocation Of Government Responsibility, Joel P. Trachtman Jan 1994

Conflict Of Laws And Accuracy In The Allocation Of Government Responsibility, Joel P. Trachtman

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The field of conflict of laws suffers from a lack of theoretical coherence, and therefore fails to provide a satisfactory basis for discourse, adjudication, legislation, and inter-governmental negotiation regarding issues of prescriptive scope. This Article advances a law and economics-based approach to conflict of laws for use in both the domestic and international context. The Article first assesses the theoretical coherence of some principal conflict of laws approaches, analyzing their resolution of four tensions: predictability and adminstrability versus accuracy, unilateralism versus multilateralism, private interest versus public interests, and courts versus legislatures. It refers to Professor Baxter's "comparative impairment" methodology as …

Interstate Preemption: The Right To Travel, The Right To Life, And The Right To Die, Lea Brilmayer Mar 1993

Interstate Preemption: The Right To Travel, The Right To Life, And The Right To Die, Lea Brilmayer

Michigan Law Review

State laws differ, and they differ on issues of tremendous importance to the ways that we conduct our lives. Abortion and the right to die are two issues on which state law intersects with deeply held moral convictions, and on which state laws vary. With so much hanging in the balance, it is not surprising that those who find themselves outvoted or outmaneuvered in local political processes sometimes seek a legal climate more compatible with their beliefs about human decency and dignity. The right to "vote with one's feet" - to travel or move to another state and trade a …


"But Whoever Treasures Freedom…": The Right To Travel And Extraterritorial Abortions, Seth F. Kreimer Mar 1993

"But Whoever Treasures Freedom…": The Right To Travel And Extraterritorial Abortions, Seth F. Kreimer

Michigan Law Review

In a prior article, I addressed the problem of extraterritorial abortions under the assumption that the federal constitutional right of reproductive choice would be repudiated by the Supreme Court on Justice Scalia's theory that such rights lack sufficiently deep roots in the history and traditions surrounding the framing of the Constitution and the Fourteenth Amendment. I argued there that a constitutional methodology that relied on traditions and expectations of the Framers would provide a strong basis for concluding that the Constitution imposes severe limits on states' power to project their moralities extraterritorially. If Justice Scalia is serious about a regard …


Conflict Of Constitutions? No Thanks: A Response To Professors Brilmayer And Kreimer, Gerald L. Neuman Mar 1993

Conflict Of Constitutions? No Thanks: A Response To Professors Brilmayer And Kreimer, Gerald L. Neuman

Michigan Law Review

This colloquy was organized around the unpleasant hypothesis that the Supreme Court would overrule Roe v. Wade and that Congress would not fill the resulting void with federal legislation. The abortion debate would then move to the states, where local majorities could enact their own resolutions. If the local majorities were large enough, they could even write their local resolutions into their state constitutions. The contrasting state constitutions that could result might then replicate the comparativists' current juxtaposition between the U.S. Constitution and the constitutions of Germany and Ireland. In some states, prohibition of abortion would be constitutionally required, while …

Blackmailers, Bribe Takers, And The Second Paradox, Sidney Delong Jan 1993

Blackmailers, Bribe Takers, And The Second Paradox, Sidney Delong

Faculty Articles

An adequate theoretical justification for the prohibition of blackmail should explain both of its paradoxes. However, a review of contemporary theories of blackmail shows that they are able neither to explain why blackmail is criminalized nor to rationalize the different treatment of blackmail and bribery. This review suggests that the paradoxes of blackmail may not yield to rational analysis. In contrast to deductive analyses premised on rights or economics, this paper offers an account of bribery and blackmail that is premised on their different social meanings. The author suggests that the legal and moral treatment of bribery and blackmail spring …


Historical Framework For Reviving Constitutional Protection For Property And Contract Rights , James L. Kainen Jan 1993

Historical Framework For Reviving Constitutional Protection For Property And Contract Rights , James L. Kainen

Faculty Scholarship

Post-New Deal constitutionalism is in search of a theory that justifies judicial intervention on behalf of individual rights while simultaneously avoiding the charge of "Lochnerism."' The dominant historical view dismisses post-bellum substantive due process as an anomalous development in the American constitutional tradition. Under this approach, Lochner represents unbounded protection for economic rights that permitted the judiciary to read laissez faire, pro-business policy preferences into the constitutional text. Today's revisionists have mounted a substantial challenge to the dismissive views of traditionalists. Indeed, some claim Lochner reached the right result, but for the wrong reason. The revisionists characterize substantive due process …

Baseball And Chicken Salad: A Realistic Look At Choice Of Law, Harold G. Maier May 1991

Baseball And Chicken Salad: A Realistic Look At Choice Of Law, Harold G. Maier

Vanderbilt Law Review

Most conflict of laws teachers come to their calling because they are fascinated with the intellectual variety of the subject matter and the sense of systemic universality that pervades the legal decisions with which they work. We deal, after all, with some very fundamental aspects of law and the legal system in a world of fascinating abstractions mixed with concrete decisions. Although I have taken no survey, conversations with many of my colleagues suggest that they, as did I, found the course Conflict of Laws in the second or third year of law school to be one that reawakened the …
