Constitutional Torts: Combining Diverse Doctrines And Practicality, Thomas A. Eaton, Michael Wells
Constitutional Torts: Combining Diverse Doctrines And Practicality, Thomas A. Eaton, Michael Wells
Scholarly Works
Constitutional Torts is, in part, a response to our sense that the upper level curriculum could be improved by courses that bring together areas of doctrine that are often studied in isolation. We think there is substantial value in bringing together seemingly disparate areas of doctrine that bear on a common real-world problem. Students benefit from learning how to put together concepts from different substantive areas in order to solve problems they will face in practice.
The Alleged Unaccountability Of The Academic: A Biographical Sketch Of Carl Schmitt, Manfred H. Wiegandt
The Alleged Unaccountability Of The Academic: A Biographical Sketch Of Carl Schmitt, Manfred H. Wiegandt
Cardozo Law Review
In recent years, especially after the breakdown of the Soviet bloc, we have witnessed numerous attempts to establish viable democratic structures in states formerly in the tight grip of dictatorially ruling elites, be it in the countries of the former Communist bloc, at the African Cape, or in Latin America. The questions that concern people in these regions above all are how their systems can be made strong enough to survive the economic crises that go along with establishing democratic frameworks and how the states can ensure the necessary coherence to survive on the background of a lingering challenge by …

Old Wine In New Bottles: The Constitutional Status Of Unconstitutional Speech, Mark A. Graber
Old Wine In New Bottles: The Constitutional Status Of Unconstitutional Speech, Mark A. Graber
Faculty Scholarship
This Article explores whether contemporary advocates of restrictions on bigoted expression have more in common with contemporary advocates of broad First Amendment rights or with past censors. The critical theorists who would ban some hate speech rely heavily on the equal citizenship principles that radical civil libertarians believe justify almost absolute speech rights. The First Amendment, past and present censors argue, does not fully protect speech inconsistent with what they believe are basic constitutional values. This claim repudiates a basic principle of American constitutionalism, the faith that "self-evident" constitutional values will triumph in the constitutional marketplace of ideas. The ideological …

Opening The Courthouse Doors: Allowing A Cause Of Action To Arise Directly From A Violation Of The Ohio Constitution, David M. Gareau
Opening The Courthouse Doors: Allowing A Cause Of Action To Arise Directly From A Violation Of The Ohio Constitution, David M. Gareau
Cleveland State Law Review
This note will explain why Ohio's Constitution should be looked to as the source of meaningful remedy when its provisions are violated. I will demonstrate that a cause of action grounded upon a violation of the Ohio Constitution is not only meaningful, but necessary to the notion of constitutional rights. Section two will briefly discuss the necessity of allowing a cause of action to arise from a violation of the Ohio Constitution. In particular, I will discuss the independence of the Ohio Constitution; the federal courts' increasing hostility toward the vindication of federal constitutional rights; and the benefit of allowing …
Political And Social Construction Of Families Through Pedagogy In Family Law Classrooms, Lundy Langston
Political And Social Construction Of Families Through Pedagogy In Family Law Classrooms, Lundy Langston
Journal Publications
Most family law materials available today fail to reflect the diversity' of family arrangements in modem society. Traditionally, family law is taught as a rules-based area of law. Students learn the requirements of marriage and the grounds for and consequences of divorce. Currently, there are efforts to expand the codification of family law through such things as support guidelines, uniform acts, and legislation listing specific factors to be considered in custody and property distribution cases. Many of these efforts stem from the underlying assumption that there is a uniform methodology describing and defining doctrine appropriate for resolution of family related …
National Socialism And Constitutional Law: Carl Schmitt, Otto Koellreutter, And The Debate Over The Nature Of The Nazi State, 1993-1937, Peter Caldwell
National Socialism And Constitutional Law: Carl Schmitt, Otto Koellreutter, And The Debate Over The Nature Of The Nazi State, 1993-1937, Peter Caldwell
Cardozo Law Review
On January 30, 1933, President von Hindenburg named Adolf Hitler chancellor of the German Republic. One year later, the conservative (and by then National Socialist) constitutional lawyer, Carl Schmitt noted that Hitler's chancellorship was an event that had "already led beyond the Weimar Constitution." But where had the seizure of power led? What was the nature of the new constitution of the German Empire? As historian David Schoenbaum has noted, 1933 was a kind of "constitutional no man's land"; it was unclear how the principles enumerated in the Nazi Party Program of 1920 would translate into the reality of the …
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act: Letting The Fox Into The Henhouse Under Cover Of Section 5 Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Marci A. Hamilton
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act: Letting The Fox Into The Henhouse Under Cover Of Section 5 Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Marci A. Hamilton
Cardozo Law Review
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act ("RFRA") has now been in effect for over a year. RFRA is an understandable, but unconstitutional, attempt to supplement the contemporary Supreme Court's crabbed reading of the Free Exercise Clause. In a nutshell, RFRA sets the standard of review-the "compelling interest" test-to be applied to federal and state law burdening the free exercise of religious conduct. RFRA has already been employed to decide a series of cases, most of which were brought by prison inmates. The time rapidly approaches when the courts of appeals, and even the Supreme Court, will be asked to pass on …

“Now The Machine Runs Itself”: Carl Schmitt On Hobbes And Kelsen, David Dyzenhaus
“Now The Machine Runs Itself”: Carl Schmitt On Hobbes And Kelsen, David Dyzenhaus
Cardozo Law Review
Carl Schmitt claimed that the fundamental distinction of politics is the distinction between friend and enemy. That distinction, he said, has to be put on a substantive basis, which, in the era of the nation state, he supposed must amount to an idea of the homogeneity of the people. Since liberal democracy is opposed to this kind of substance, Schmitt argued that liberalism cannot make the distinction between friend and enemy. It thus cannot defend itself against its enemies. It is no wonder that he remains the leading theorist of fascism.

The Gate Is Open But The Door Is Locked - Habeas Corpus And Harmless Error, Bennett L. Gershman
The Gate Is Open But The Door Is Locked - Habeas Corpus And Harmless Error, Bennett L. Gershman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Brecht is a paradigm of the Rehnquist Court's result-oriented approach to habeas corpus and harmless error. The decision purports to be a principled application of the policies of finality, federalism, and judicial economy that underlay the Court's new habeas and harmless error jurisprudence. It is, in fact, an unwarranted and unprincipled extension of those policies. Depending on how the lower federal courts interpret and implement the decision, Brecht could have a devastating impact on the way state prosecutors and judges administer criminal justice, as well as the ability of state prisoners to redress constitutional violations.

The Federal Constitutional Court In The German Political System, Donald P. Kommers
The Federal Constitutional Court In The German Political System, Donald P. Kommers
Journal Articles
The Federal Constitutional Court is a major policy-making institution in Germany's system of government. Within the space of four decades (1951- 1991), this tribunal has evolved into the most active and powerful constitutional court in Europe. Its pivotal character in the German political system sterns from its role as a judicial lawmaking body created for the specific purpose of deciding constitutional disputes under the Basic Law.1 In deciding such disputes-that is, in interpreting the language and spirit of the Basic Law-the Constitutional Court has influenced the shape of Germany's political landscape, reaching deep into the heart of the existing state, …

Constricting The Law Of Freedom: Justice Miller, The Fourteenth Amendment, And The Slaughter-House Cases, Richard L. Aynes
Constricting The Law Of Freedom: Justice Miller, The Fourteenth Amendment, And The Slaughter-House Cases, Richard L. Aynes
Akron Law Faculty Publications
The Slaughter-House Cases are simultaneously unremarkable and extraordinary. They are unremarkable because the matter at issue -- whether butchers can be required to ply their trade at a central, state-franchised facility -- has long since ceased to be a matter of concern. They are extraordinary because in spite of the fact that three of the Court's significant legal conclusions have been rejected and “everyone” agrees the Court incorrectly interpreted the Privileges or Immunities Clause, the conclusion that the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment had no meaningful place in our constitutional scheme continues to live on. Even those …
Models Of The Opinion Function Of The Attorney General: A Normative, Descriptive, And Historical Prolegomenon, John O. Mcginnis
Models Of The Opinion Function Of The Attorney General: A Normative, Descriptive, And Historical Prolegomenon, John O. Mcginnis
Cardozo Law Review
The judiciary is not the only branch of government that offers authoritative constructions of the Constitution and other federal laws. Since the beginning of the Republic, the executive branch has made formal pronouncements on constitutional and statutory issues of such a substantial scope and variety that they rival the opinions of the Supreme Court. A public recording of the executive branch's most authoritative legal voice is contained in forty-three volumes of published opinions of the Attorney General and sixteen volumes of published opinions of the Office of Legal Counsel ("OLC")-the office to which the Attorney General now delegates the great …
The Unitary Executive In A Unified Theory Of Constituional Law: The Problem Of Interpretation, Geoffrey P. Miller
The Unitary Executive In A Unified Theory Of Constituional Law: The Problem Of Interpretation, Geoffrey P. Miller
Cardozo Law Review
Among theoretical issues in the area of federal separation of powers, the status of the Unitary Executive may be the most controversial: To what extent does the Constitution establish the President as a national chief executive with ultimate authority over activities of national administration? In this paper, I propose a model of the Unitary Executive which differs in some respects from prior work, including my own work on independent agencies, which I now view as incomplete. The model is grounded in a unified theory of constitutional law-i.e., a theory that includes issues both of rights and of structure within a …

Ways To Think About The Unitary Executive: A Comment On Approaches To Government Structure, Michael Fitts
Cardozo Law Review
Over the past few years public law debates have invariably focused on the relative significance of legal institutions as expressed in formal legislative and administrative structures versus everyday politics in the resolution of policy questions. This emphasis has been particularly evident in the examination of the appropriate structure and distribution of responsibility for administrative decision making, in general, and presidential authority versus agency autonomy, in particular.

Attorney General's Remarks, Benjamin N. Cardozo School Of Law, November 15, 1992, William P. Barr
Cardozo Law Review
While the modem Attorney General is active in a broad array of policy decisions and legal matters, this evening we are concerned only with what was once the core of the Attorney General's duties: legal interpretation within the executive branch. First, I would like to trace the evolution of the office of Attorney General from part-time legal advisor for the new government to head of a major department involved in making policy across a broad range of subjects. Second, I want to discuss the Attorney General's role in interpreting the law, both in rendering legal advice to the executive branch …
Imposing Unified Executive Branch Statutory Interpretation, Michael Herz
Imposing Unified Executive Branch Statutory Interpretation, Michael Herz
Cardozo Law Review
Since the birth of the administrative state, the dominant legal debate about the fourth branch has concerned the powers of the other three to control it. In recent years, the particular focus has been on presidential oversight, in part as a result of the increasingly systematic efforts of every President since Richard Nixon to gain control of the federal bureaucracy. This enormous, and in general, illuminating literature has tended, I think, to overlook two aspects of the problem.
The Merryman Power And The Dilemma Of Autonomous Executive Branch Interpretation, Michael Stokes Paulsen
The Merryman Power And The Dilemma Of Autonomous Executive Branch Interpretation, Michael Stokes Paulsen
Cardozo Law Review
Most everybody today concedes some degree of executive branch autonomy in the interpretation of federal law. The examples most frequently given of areas of executive interpretive autonomy involve situations where the President interprets the law incident to the exercise of those constitutional powers that are thought to be exclusively presidential (and thus unreviewable by the courts), such as the pardon and the veto. The President may grant a pardon (it is generally conceded) on legal grounds rejected by the courts. For example, he may issue a pardon based on his opinion that a conviction was unconstitutional, notwithstanding the judiciary's contrary …
