The Small Claims Court: A Reconceptualization Of Disputes And An Empirical Investigation, Neil Vidmar
The Small Claims Court: A Reconceptualization Of Disputes And An Empirical Investigation, Neil Vidmar
Faculty Scholarship
In this paper disputes are seen as varying along a dimension of admitted liability, that is, the extent to which defendants admit some obligation to plaintiffs; they may admit no liability, partial liability, or full liability. This conceptualization was used in an empirical study of a small claims court. The results paint a portrait of the court that is at variance with most of the previous literature. Consumer issues constitute a substantial portion of the court caseload. On average, defendants, including individual consumers, do well when they dispute claims. Among disputed cases, small rather than large businesses predominate. Prior literature …

The Use Of Social Science Data In A Change Of Venue Application: A Case Study, Neil Vidmar, John W. T. Judson
The Use Of Social Science Data In A Change Of Venue Application: A Case Study, Neil Vidmar, John W. T. Judson
Faculty Scholarship
This article describes how social science data and professional testimony were used to assist judicial decision-making in an application to have a criminal fraud trial moved from Middlesex County, Ontario, because of prejudicial attitudes extant in the community. Typically, in such applications, tenuous documentation of pre-trial publicity and perhaps some unsubstantiated "opinion" testimony by persons purportedly in touch with the pulse of the community are the only evidence introduced . The presiding judge is required to consider this circumstantial, indirect, evidence and draw a conclusion about the level and extent of public prejudice as the merits of the application are …

Making Sense Of Desegregation And Affirmative Action, William W. Van Alstyne
Making Sense Of Desegregation And Affirmative Action, William W. Van Alstyne
Faculty Scholarship
This review discusses J. Harvie Wilkinson's "From Brown to Bakke" and its companion work, "Counting by Race: Equality from the Founding Fathers to Bakke and Weber" written by Terry Eastland and William J. Bennett. Wilkinson's work is found to maintain a narrow focus on its specific subject of school desegregation and the Supreme Court, but it suffers from over-exaggeration and an abundance of adornment in his writing style. "Counting" is a provocative piece that asserts the position that the Constitution is still not color-blind, despite what many have proposed, and makes an authoritative argument for such a claim.

A Political And Constitutional Review Of United States V. Nixon, William W. Van Alstyne
A Political And Constitutional Review Of United States V. Nixon, William W. Van Alstyne
Faculty Scholarship
This comparison of United States v. Nixon and the Pentagon Papers case finds the greatest similarity and significance shared by the two cases was the anti-climactic nature of their conclusions. While both cases concerned constitutional questions of the highest order, centered around the scope of the executive power, both cases were drawn on such narrow grounds that there was hardly any effect on constitutional law doctrine.

Book Review, William W. Van Alstyne
Faculty Scholarship
This review of "The Supreme Court on Trial" by Charles Hyneman, questions why the work’s tackling the age-old issues of the source of judicial review and its constitutionality is particularly novel or unique from other such examinations. Issue is also taken with Brown v. Board of Educaion's dominance of such discussion and the book’s poor treatment of the desegregation cases.
