Text Into Theory: A Literary Approach To The Constitution, Richard H. Weisberg Jul 1986

Text Into Theory: A Literary Approach To The Constitution, Richard H. Weisberg

Articles

The article explores the evolving dialogue between legal scholars and literary theorists, particularly focusing on how judicial opinions can be viewed as narrative fictions. It challenges traditional notions of textual autonomy in legal interpretation, suggesting that meaning is not fixed but is shaped by subjective readings. The analysis critiques the dichotomy between interpretivism and noninterpretivism, arguing that both approaches are inherently subjective. Drawing on historical and structural interpretations of the Constitution, the article advocates for a balanced approach that considers both textual integrity and communal values, emphasizing that constitutional truths are embedded within societal ideas rather than being strictly majoritarian …


Texaco V. Pennzoil: The Use And Creation Of Precedent By The Second Circuit, Peter Lushing Apr 1986

Texaco V. Pennzoil: The Use And Creation Of Precedent By The Second Circuit, Peter Lushing

Articles

The article critiques the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit's decision in *Texaco Inc. v. Pennzoil Company*, arguing that the court's ruling was result-oriented and undermined the integrity of judicial precedent. The decision, which stayed the enforcement of a $11.12 billion state court judgment against Texaco, was based on an expansive interpretation of due process and civil rights law. However, the court's attempt to limit its holding to the "extraordinary circumstances" of the case raises concerns about the consistency and fairness of the judicial process, as it creates a precedent that may not be applicable to smaller stakeholders.


Judicially Ordered Social Reform: Neofederalism And Neonationalism And The Debate Over Political Structure, David Rudenstine Mar 1986

Judicially Ordered Social Reform: Neofederalism And Neonationalism And The Debate Over Political Structure, David Rudenstine

Articles

The article examines the ideological divide within the U.S. Supreme Court between neofederalism and neonationalism, two legal theories that shape the Court's approach to federalism and individual rights. Neofederalism emphasizes state autonomy and limits federal intervention in state institutions, while neonationalism advocates for a stronger federal role in protecting individual rights, even if it requires overriding state decisions. This divide significantly influences the Court's rulings on issues such as prison conditions and institutional reform, reflecting broader debates about the role of federalism in social reform and judicial decision-making.

The Quest For Silence: Faulkner's Lawyer In A Comparative Setting, Richard H. Weisberg Apr 1984

The Quest For Silence: Faulkner's Lawyer In A Comparative Setting, Richard H. Weisberg

Articles

The article explores William Faulkner's portrayal of Gavin Stevens, a fictional lawyer, highlighting his evolution as a character and his unique place within the tradition of literary lawyer figures. The analysis focuses on Gavin's development in The Town, where he learns the value of silence and observation, distinguishing him from other lawyers in literature who often remain static in their personal growth. The article situates Gavin within a broader literary context, comparing him to characters from works by authors like Dickens and Twain, and argues for his significance as a complex and sympathetic character.

Segal V. Minister Of Interior, Haim Herman Cohn, Shlomo Levin, Aharon Barak

Translated Opinions

The Time Determination Ordinance, 1940, established the legal basis for Summer Time” (i.e., Daylight Savings Time).
