The Supreme Court’S View Of Science: Has Daubert Exorcised The Certainty Demon?, Bert Black Apr 1994

The Supreme Court’S View Of Science: Has Daubert Exorcised The Certainty Demon?, Bert Black

Cardozo Law Review

The Supreme Court's mandate in Daubert that experts who give testimony based on science must confine themselves to valid scientific knowledge seems tautologically obvious, and hardly an issue requiring the attention of the nation's nine highest judges. The debate that led to Daubert was generated, however, by opponents of judicial screening who argued that holding experts to scientific standards somehow imposes an undue burden of proof on plaintiffs, especially in toxic tort cases - and the Supreme Court's decision has not put the issue completely to rest. Science, according to this "relaxed standards" argument, demands certainty far beyond the law's …


Impeachment By Conviction Evidence: Judicial Discretion And The Politics Of Rule 609, Victor Gold Apr 1994

Impeachment By Conviction Evidence: Judicial Discretion And The Politics Of Rule 609, Victor Gold

Cardozo Law Review

No provision of the Federal Rules of Evidence has sparked more controversy than Rule 609, which deals with the admissibility of convictions to impeach a witness. When first proposed, the provision was the subject of fierce debate, sparking repeated revision during its drafting and while it was under consideration by Congress. Ultimately, no one side in this legislative battle prevailed entirely; the Rule strikes a compromise between sharply conflicting policies. The text of Rule 609, incorporating no less than three balancing tests, two references to fairness, one to justice, and several other undefined terms, leaves the task of resolving the …

After Daubert: Going Forward With Lessons From The Past, Marc S. Klein

Cardozo Law Review

Ground zero in the ongoing battle over scientific evidence in toxic tort cases has clearly shifted in light of Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In that case, the Supreme Court settled at least two profound issues. One has immediate practical consequences, the other has important philosophical implications.

Judge Charles Edward Clark Edited By Peninah Petruck, Peter Charles Hoffer Dec 1993

Judge Charles Edward Clark Edited By Peninah Petruck, Peter Charles Hoffer

Cardozo Law Review

For everyone who knew him while he lived and everyone whose career or education he touched, Charles Edward Clark (1889-1963) was a presence almost larger than life. A shade under six feet tall, with a bullfrog voice, barrel chest, and broad shoulders, he could not be missed in a crowd. A man whose habits and opinions had an "allor-nothing quality" during a critical era for legal education and government-lawyer relations, Clark's presence seemed to fill the law school he led and the bench on which he sat.


Pierre Schlag’S “The Problem Of The Subject”: Law’S Need For An Analyst, David S. Caudill Dec 1993

Pierre Schlag’S “The Problem Of The Subject”: Law’S Need For An Analyst, David S. Caudill

Cardozo Law Review

Pierre Schlag's book-length law review article, The Problem of the Subject, sets out to reveal, and succeeds in revealing, nothing - Schlag reveals a gap or void in contemporary legal philosophy with respect to the subject. Of course, the subject (for now, the "I" or self or individual) can be found in legal theory-people reflect on law, make law, and obey or break the law-but legal theorists generally avoid the question of who the subject is. Thus, accounts of the subject are rare in legal scholarship, and the problems that such accounts would raise are generally evaded. Of course, …


The Illegitimacy Of The Extrajudicial Source Requirement For Judicial Disaqualification Under 28 U.S.C. § 455(A), Adam J. Safer Dec 1993

The Illegitimacy Of The Extrajudicial Source Requirement For Judicial Disaqualification Under 28 U.S.C. § 455(A), Adam J. Safer

Cardozo Law Review

According to 28 U.S.C. § 455(a), a judge shall disqualify himself from presiding over "any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned." Judicial disqualification under § 455(a) arises from a number of disparate situations, including a judge's financial conflict of interest and a judge's appearance of bias or prejudice. This Note focuses on judicial disqualification for bias under § 455(a) and the questionable legitimacy of a judicially created doctrine known as the "extrajudicial source requirement." The extrajudicial source requirement allows a judge to deny a disqualification motion based on bias if the judge's alleged bias arises solely from …


A Stalwart At The Bar, Arthur Norman Field Oct 1993

A Stalwart At The Bar, Arthur Norman Field

Cardozo Law Review

The New York legal community that Jack Bums found upon his admission to the Bar in 1932 was not given to welcoming all comers. It was changing rapidly. To many leaders of the Bar the change was not a positive one.


Judicial Opinions As Binding Law And As Explanations For Judgments, Thomas W. Merrill Oct 1993

Judicial Opinions As Binding Law And As Explanations For Judgments, Thomas W. Merrill

Cardozo Law Review

To what extent does the executive branch have autonomous powers of legal interpretation? The issue is often broadly framed in terms of two disparate understandings of the allocation of interpretative power: "judicial supremacy" and "departmentalism." In this paper, I shall speak of two different understandings of judicial opinions: the idea that judicial opinions (or at least the "holdings" of opinions) are legally binding on actors in the executive branch, and the idea that opinions are, from the perspective of executive actors, merely explanations for judicial judgments. I adopt this locution because it focuses more precisely on the core of the …

A Further Word Against Consensus, John O. Mcginnis Feb 1993

A Further Word Against Consensus, John O. Mcginnis

Articles

In their Response to my Essay, Professors Strauss and Sunstein not only take issue with a few of my arguments but also suggest a measure of consensus between their views and mine on the confirmation process.1 While I very much appreciate their proffer of half an olive branch, upon reflection I believe that the differences between us concerning the confirmation process remain very great and illustrate even more profound differences concerning the premises and structure of our republican Constitution.
