The trend of the eminent domain reform and "Kelo plus" initiatives is toward a comprehensive Constitutional property right incorporating the elements of level of review, nature of government action, and extent of compensation. This article contains a draft amendment which reflects these concerns.

To Err Is Human, Keith A. Rowley

Michigan Law Review

There are many kinds of mistakes. One kind-a rational, well-intended act or decision resulting in unanticipated, negative consequences-was the focus of Allan Farnsworth's previous foray into the realm of legal angst. Another kind-an act or decision prompted by an inaccurate, incomplete, or uninformed mental state and resulting in unanticipated, negative consequences- is the subject of the present book. Like its predecessor, Alleviating Mistakes does not confine itself to contract law, Farnsworth's home turf; it explores criminal, tort, restitution, and other areas of substantive law as well. As such, it paints on too large a canvas to capture its entirety in …

Las Paradojas De La Democracia Deliberativa / The Paradoxes Of Deliberative Democracy, Andres Palacios Lleras

Andrés Palacios Lleras

Este artículo argumenta por qué la teoría de la democracia deliberativa es problemática y paradójica, y por lo tanto inadecuada para desarrollar las instituciones democráticas contemporáneas, o para reemplazarlas por otras. Es una teoría problemática porque parte de una postura epistemológica difícilmente sostenible. Es paradójica porque a pesar de ser presentada como incluyente a nivel social, la idea de deliberación que presenta y considera como deseable, es demasiado exigente como para ser realizada por toda clase de personas; y es de hecho, elitista en este aspecto. Pero también porque señala que las instancias que están mejor diseñadas para tomar decisiones …

Rómulo Morales Hervias

Luego de un análisis histórico y comparativo de la doctrina de los actos propios se formulan críticas a las aproximaciones desarrolladas por las doctrinas española y sudamericana. La tesis es la inaplicabilidad de tal doctrina en el sistema jurídico peruano porque comportaría aplicar soluciones inútiles e injustas.

Why Unify Contract And Tort Remedies? A Reply To Professor Dagan, Dr. Yehuda Adar

Yehuda Adar Dr.

-This Article is in Hebrew-

The remedies section in the Israeli draft civil code attempts to create a unified law of remedies for the breach of any civil obligation, including originating in tort law and contract law. In his article, "The Risks of Codification: On Over-Coherence and Multiplicity of Remedies", Professor Dagan forcefully criticizes this attempt. The present article demonstrates that the two main criticisms raised by Dagan - against the unification of remedies and against the attempt to fortify the remedial response to breach of civil obligations - are unconvincing, from both a theoretical and a pragmatic point of …

Of The Honey And The Sting – Reflections On Remedies And The Draft Civil Code, Dr. Yehuda Adar

Yehuda Adar Dr.

-This article is in Hebrew-

The remedies section in the Israeli draft civil code reflects a bold – some might say revolutionary – attempt to turn the law of remedies from a set of specific rules appended to various branches of substantive law into a single, autonomous and systematic legal branch. The section, entitled “Remedies for Breach of Obligation,” concludes the fourth part of the proposed code (dealing with obligations) and applies to the violation of any civil obligation, including breach of contract and the commission of torts. This article attempts to provide a broad theoretical framework for the law …

The Ethics Of Invalid And 'Iffy' Contract Clauses, In Symposium: Contracting Out Of The Uniform Commercial Code, Christina L. Kunz

Faculty Scholarship

This Symposium focuses on the extent to which attorneys can use agreed terms to supplant or “bump” the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). The articles in this Symposium demonstrate that the degree to which attorneys customarily “contract out” varies considerably from UCC article to article. In reality, though, the issues surrounding contracting out of UCC provisions are not limited to the UCC, statutes, or other codified rules. Most “repeat players” in the market periodically ask their lawyers to redraft their standard-form contracts in ways that increasingly favor the drafter. Some of these lawyers may intentionally draft clauses that …

Beyond Unconscionability: Class Action Waivers And Mandatory Arbitration Agreements, J. Maria Glover

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

We live in an age of convenience. From financial transactions to electronic correspondence, we frequently deal with large corporations that provide services in our daily lives. One of the prices we pay for the convenience of these transactions, however, is that our commercial relationships increasingly are based on standard form contracts written by large corporations. While these standard form contracts are necessary to an economically efficient society, the growing use of mandatory arbitration provisions and clauses that prohibit class actions in these contracts raises the spectre of corporate abuse.

Remedies For Breach Of An Obligation: A Look At The Remedies' Section Of The New Israeli Civil Code, Dr. Yehuda Adar, Prof. Gabriela Shalev

Yehuda Adar Dr.

This article explores the main innovations included in the remedies section. It opens with a short overview of the status of the law of remedies in modern times, and the debate over the justification for unifying it. Then, in the remainder of the article, the authors examine the various changes, in terms of both structure and substance, reflected in the …
