The Myth Of The Disposable Opinion: Unpublished Opinions And Government Litigants In The United States Courts Of Appeals, Lauren K. Robel Apr 1989

The Myth Of The Disposable Opinion: Unpublished Opinions And Government Litigants In The United States Courts Of Appeals, Lauren K. Robel

Michigan Law Review

This article discusses the courts' adoption of the limited publication plans and analyzes the methods used by the courts to discourage the use of unpublished opinions. It also discusses the results of a survey conducted to determine if, and how, government litigants - some of the chief unanticipated beneficiaries of the publication plans make use of unpublished opinions. Finally, it challenges the assumption that limited publication is essential in an age of caseload crisis.


The Impact Of Substantive Interests On The Law Of Federal Courts, Michael L. Wells Apr 1989

The Impact Of Substantive Interests On The Law Of Federal Courts, Michael L. Wells

Scholarly Works

The thesis of this Article is that substantive factors exert a powerful and often unrecognized influence over the resolution of jurisdictional issues, and have done so throughout our history. The chief substantive factors at issue are the government's interest iin regulating behavior on the one hand, and the individual's interest in enforcing constitutional restraints upon government on the other. Part I of this Article examines the relationship between jurisdictional rules and substantive consequences, Part II describes the Court's conventional account of federal courts doctrine in terms of jurisdictional policy and institutional roles, and Part III shows that the reasons set …

Choosing Judges The Democratic Way, Larry Yackle Mar 1989

Choosing Judges The Democratic Way, Larry Yackle

Faculty Scholarship

A generation ago, the pressing question in constitutional law was the countermajoritarian difficulty.' Americans insisted their government was a democratic republic and took that to mean rule by a majority of elected representatives in various offices and bodies, federal and local. Yet courts whose members had not won election presumed to override the actions of executive and legislative officers who had. The conventional answer to this apparent paradox was the Constitution, which arguably owed its existence to the people directly. Judicial review was justified, accordingly, when court decisions were rooted firmly in the particular text, structure, or historical backdrop of …

Regulating Judicial Misconduct And Divining "Good Behavior" For Federal Judges, Harry T. Edwards Feb 1989

Regulating Judicial Misconduct And Divining "Good Behavior" For Federal Judges, Harry T. Edwards

Michigan Law Review

In recent years, we have witnessed an unprecedented number of instances in which federal judges have been accused of criminal behavior and other serious acts of misconduct. This raises major concerns regarding the scope and enforcement of canons of conduct for members of the judicial branch. It would be presumptuous for anyone to suggest a complete understanding of the notion of "good behavior" for federal judges, or to claim a fully satisfactory prescription for the problem of "judicial misconduct." That is not my object. In reflecting on these issues, however, I have come to realize that I may not share …


The Role Of The Courts In Providing Legal Services: A Proposal To Provide Legal Access For The Poor, Talbot D'Alemberte Jan 1989

The Role Of The Courts In Providing Legal Services: A Proposal To Provide Legal Access For The Poor, Talbot D'Alemberte

Florida State University Law Review

In a legal system as complex as America's, representation by counsel is often necessary for an individual to fully enjoy the right of access to the courts. Yet the high cost of legal representation, necessary for the protection of legal rights and for the just administration of the legal system, often places such representation beyond the reach of the poor. In this Introduction to the Petition that follows, Talbot (Sandy) D'Alemberte outlines the basis of the right to access to the judicial system and suggests a procedure by which this right can be effectively realized.

Fsia Retroactivity Subsequent To The Issuance Of The Tate Letter: A Proposed Solution To The Confusion, Michael E. Jansen Jan 1989

Fsia Retroactivity Subsequent To The Issuance Of The Tate Letter: A Proposed Solution To The Confusion, Michael E. Jansen

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Three recently decided cases discuss the retroactive application of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 to pre-1952 claims—Carl Marks & Co. v. Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Jackson v. People's Republic of China, and Slade v. United States of Mexico. These cases have conclusively established that the FSIA is not to be applied retroactively to pre-1952 events—i.e., to claims arising prior to the issuance of the Tate Letter. They do not resolve the issue of retroactive application of the FSIA to post-1952 events, however, and this issue is currently engulfed in confusion. This Comment attempts to resolve this confusion …


Court Of First Instance Of The European Communities, Gordon Slynn Jan 1989

Court Of First Instance Of The European Communities, Gordon Slynn

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The Court of Justice of the European Communities ("Court of Justice") deals with questions arising under the Treaties establishing the European Economic, the European Coal and Steel, and the European Atomic Energy Communities (collectively the "Treaties"). In 1962, its law reports ran to 512 pages, already double the number in 1959. In 1985, they comprised 4,050 pages. In 1962, 62 cases were brought before the Court; in 1985, the number had risen to 433. Not surprisingly cases coming before the Court took longer to resolve -- the period from lodging the action to judgment had slipped from nine months to …

Changes In The Publication Of I.C.J. Reports: Effects Of These Suggestions On Teaching International Law, Ignaz Seidl-Hohenveldern Jan 1989

Changes In The Publication Of I.C.J. Reports: Effects Of These Suggestions On Teaching International Law, Ignaz Seidl-Hohenveldern

Michigan Journal of International Law

In August, 1986, the Joint Inspection Unit ("J.I.U.") transmitted to the Secretary General of the United Nations a report on the Publications of the International Court of Justice. The report stressed the desirability of extending the U.N. language regime to the publications of the International Court of Justice. Hitherto, the Judgments and Advisory Opinions of the I.C.J. have been published in English and French only. The texts in these two languages are published in juxtaposition (en regard). The J.I.U. report proposes to publish in the future only a limited number of copies in this way "for the use …


On Human Rights: The Use Of Human Right Precepts In U.S. History And The Right To An Effective Remedy In Domestic Courts, Jordan J. Paust Jan 1989

On Human Rights: The Use Of Human Right Precepts In U.S. History And The Right To An Effective Remedy In Domestic Courts, Jordan J. Paust

Michigan Journal of International Law

Early in the history of the United States, human rights, then often termed the "rights of man," were understood to be those natural, unalienable rights of all persons that no government on earth could deny - rights that are a part of law, whether written or unwritten, and that free and democratic governments are formed to further and to protect. As Alexander Hamilton recognized in 1775, "the sacred rights of mankind... are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature… and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power." Yet, as Hamilton must have known, …


Political Questions In International Trade: Judicial Review Of Section 301?, Erwin P. Eichmann, Gary N. Horlick Jan 1989

Political Questions In International Trade: Judicial Review Of Section 301?, Erwin P. Eichmann, Gary N. Horlick

Michigan Journal of International Law

Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 ("Section 301") has become an increasingly potent and widely-used tool in the U.S. arsenal of trade policy measures. The past few years have seen a proliferation of Section 301 cases, affecting the trade of goods and services in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Even so, in the debate over the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 ("Omnibus Trade Act"), Congress expressed impatience with the President's discretion in not undertaking more Section 301 retaliations. But while much attention has focused on the politics and policy aspects of Section 301, little has been …


Administrative Res Judicata In Ohio: A Suggestion For The Future, Randy J. Hart Jan 1989

Administrative Res Judicata In Ohio: A Suggestion For The Future, Randy J. Hart

Cleveland State Law Review

This note will focus on the law of res judicata as applied by the state courts of Ohio regarding decisions handed down by Ohio's administrative agencies. While there exists a body of law on the federal level pertaining to administrative res judicata, which appears to be well settled, the Ohio Supreme Court has not yet ruled on whether the decision of an administrative body will have res judicata effect in a subsequent action in an Ohio state court. This note will suggest that Ohio courts should reject administrative res judicata where its effect would be to bind the state courts …


Isolationism Or Deference? The Alien Tort Claims Act And The Separation Of Powers, Victor A. Pappalardo Jan 1989

Isolationism Or Deference? The Alien Tort Claims Act And The Separation Of Powers, Victor A. Pappalardo

Michigan Journal of International Law

This Note examines the rationales behind Filartiga and other cases which have had the opportunity to pass upon its holding, notably the holdings in Tel-Oren v. Libyan Arab Republic and Forti v. Suarez- Mason. It then focuses on the validity of these rationales with respect to the constitutional separation of powers scheme. In so doing, it analyzes Filartiga's conclusions in light of the act of state and political question doctrines, two closely interrelated doctrines which have been at the forefront of the separation of powers criticisms of Filartiga. This Note concludes by suggesting that a clear case exists …
