Levinson Is To Mr. Justice "Isaiah" As St. Paul Was To The Prophet Isaiah, Richard H. Weisberg Jan 2011

Levinson Is To Mr. Justice "Isaiah" As St. Paul Was To The Prophet Isaiah, Richard H. Weisberg

Articles

The article critiques Professor Sanford Levinson's defense of compromise in constitutionalism, arguing that while compromise is ubiquitous, it is not inherently just or morally sound. The author, Richard Weisberg, contends that Levinson's flexible hermeneutic approach risks degrading textual integrity and ethical standards, particularly when compromise is elevated to a norm. Weisberg advocates for maintaining the integrity of sacred and legal texts, emphasizing the dangers of interpretive flexibility, especially in emergencies, and draws parallels to historical examples like Vichy France's complicity in Nazi policies.


Equitable Estoppel To Compel Arbitration In New York: A Doctrine To Prevent Inequity, Matthew Berg Jan 2011

Equitable Estoppel To Compel Arbitration In New York: A Doctrine To Prevent Inequity, Matthew Berg

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Arbitration, as a favored alternative to court systems, finds its validity in both state and federal law. The Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") was enacted in 1925 unopposed, reflecting a strong favored alternative by the federal government to the Article III courts. This presumption was established in Section 2 of the FAA, which provides that contracts that include an arbitration clause "shall be valid, irrevocable, and enforceable" unless a court finds "grounds as exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract [or clause]."

Specters Of Law: Why The History Of The Legal Spectacle Has Not Been Written, Peter Goodrich Jan 2011

Specters Of Law: Why The History Of The Legal Spectacle Has Not Been Written, Peter Goodrich

Articles

The article examines the intersection of law, theology, and visual/performance elements, arguing that legal discourse often overlooks the significance of typography, imagery, and theatricality. It highlights how legal texts use formatting techniques like bold and italics to convey meaning and draws parallels with theological concepts, such as the duality of power and the role of images in governance. The analysis critiques the legal tradition for neglecting these performative aspects and emphasizes the need to recognize law as a theater that denies its own theatricality.

Coordinating Sanctions In Tort, Kyle D. Logue Jun 2010

Coordinating Sanctions In Tort, Kyle D. Logue

Cardozo Law Review

This Article begins with the standard Law and Economics account of tort law as a regulatory tool or system of deterrence, that is, as a means of giving regulated parties the optimal ex ante incentives to minimize the costs of accidents. Building on this fairly standard (albeit not universally accepted) picture of tort law, the Article asks the question how tort law should adjust, if at all, to coordinate with already existing non-tort systems of regulation. Thus, if a particular activity is already subject to extensive agency-based regulation (whether in the form of command-and-control requirements or in the form of …

Prescribing Orthodoxy, Kelly Sarabyn Apr 2010

Prescribing Orthodoxy, Kelly Sarabyn

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article examines the constitutional implications of government actions that compel ideological conformity, particularly focusing on the First Amendment's prohibition against coerced ideological speech. It argues that while the Supreme Court has established that the government cannot force citizens to adopt specific ideological beliefs, the legal framework remains unclear and inconsistent. The analysis emphasizes the need for a structured approach to determine when such coercion crosses constitutional boundaries, especially in cases involving captive audiences and government speech. The author proposes that the prohibition on prescribing orthodoxy should explicitly ban the use of nonrational methods to influence citizens' beliefs, ensuring a …


Bargains Bicoastal: New Light On Contract Theory, Geoffrey P. Miller Apr 2010

Bargains Bicoastal: New Light On Contract Theory, Geoffrey P. Miller

Cardozo Law Review

Recent research has shown that large companies select New York law and New York courts to govern disputes under commercial contracts. Because these parties make choice-of-law and forum selection decisions before conflicts arise, there is reason to believe that their preference for New York reflects an effort to select efficient terms. This Article compares New York's contract law with that of its most natural competitor, California. It turns out that New York strictly enforces bargains and displays little tolerance for efforts to rewrite deals ex post. California, in contrast, more willingly reforms contracts for reasons of fairness, equity, morality, or …


Proving Fair Use: Burden Of Proof As Burden Of Speech, Ned Snow Apr 2010

Proving Fair Use: Burden Of Proof As Burden Of Speech, Ned Snow

Cardozo Law Review

Courts have created a burden of proof in copyright that chills protected speech. The doctrine of fair use purports to ensure that copyright law does not trample rights of speakers whose expression employs copyrighted material. Yet those speakers face a burden of proof that weighs heavily in the fair use analysis, where factual inquiries are often subjective and speculative. Failure to satisfy the burden means severe penalties, which prospect quickly chills the free exercise of speech that constitutes a fair use. The fair-use burden of proof is repugnant to the fair use purpose. Today, copyright holders are exploiting the burden …

Drawing Bisexuality Back Into The Picture: How Bisexuality Fits Into Lgbt Legal Strategy Ten Years After Bisexual Erasure, Heron Greenesmith Jan 2010

Drawing Bisexuality Back Into The Picture: How Bisexuality Fits Into Lgbt Legal Strategy Ten Years After Bisexual Erasure, Heron Greenesmith

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that bisexuality remains legally invisible, both in legal culture and jurisprudence, due to its inherent complexity and the reliance of legal arguments on a binary understanding of sexual orientation. It extends Kenji Yoshino's theory of bisexual erasure into the legal context, proposing that bisexuality is not just socially invisible but also legally inconspicuous. The analysis focuses on two main hypotheses: first, that bisexuality is inherently invisible to the law beyond deliberate erasure, and second, that where bisexuality is legally relevant, it complicates legal arguments that depend on the binary of sexuality. The article concludes by advocating for …

The Geography Of Criminal Law, Adam Benforado Jan 2010

The Geography Of Criminal Law, Adam Benforado

Cardozo Law Review

When Westerners explain the causes of actions or outcomes in the criminal law context, they demonstrate a strong tendency to overestimate the importance of dispositional factors, like thinking, preferring, and willing, and underestimate the impact of interior and exterior situational factors, including environmental, historical, and social forces, as well as affective states, knowledge structures, motives, and other unseen aspects of our cognitive frameworks and processes. One of the situational factors that we are particularly likely to overlook is physical space - that is, landscapes, places, natures, boundaries, and spatialities. Our shortsightedness comes at a great cost. Spatial concerns shape legal …


Informed Choices And Uniform Decisions: Adopting The Aba's Self-Enforcing Administrative Model To Ensure Successful Surrogacy Arrangements, Christine Metteer Lorillard Jan 2010

Informed Choices And Uniform Decisions: Adopting The Aba's Self-Enforcing Administrative Model To Ensure Successful Surrogacy Arrangements, Christine Metteer Lorillard

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

Non-traditional families are on the rise in America today, with more and more same-sex couples raising families together. Yet, all same-sex partners seeking to become parents must make use of some assisted reproductive technique ("ART'), as must some heterosexual married couples. Despite the growing number of people who want to create families, including those that resort to ARTs to have genetically-related children, there are significant moral, economic, and legal obstacles in their way. What has long been needed is a codified roadmap for a successful surrogacy agreement that delineates the rights and obligations of the parties involved, as well as …

Behavioral Decision Theory And Implications For The Supreme Court's Campaign Finance Jurisprudence, Molly J. Walker Wilson Jan 2010

Behavioral Decision Theory And Implications For The Supreme Court's Campaign Finance Jurisprudence, Molly J. Walker Wilson

Cardozo Law Review

America stands at a moment in history when advances in the understanding of human decision-making are increasing the strategic efficacy of political strategy. As campaign spending for the presidential race reaches hundreds of millions of dollars, the potential for harnessing the power of psychological tactics becomes considerable. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has characterized campaign money as "speech" and has required evidence of corruption or the appearance of corruption in order to uphold restrictions on campaign expenditures. Ultimately, the Court has rejected virtually all restrictions on campaign spending on the ground that expenditures, unlike contributions, do not contribute to corruption or …

Equality, Entitlement, And Efficiency: Dworkin, Nozick, Posner, And Implications For Legal Theory, Stephen O'Hanlon Oct 2009

Equality, Entitlement, And Efficiency: Dworkin, Nozick, Posner, And Implications For Legal Theory, Stephen O'Hanlon

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article critically examines the legal theories of Ronald Dworkin, Robert Nozick, and Richard A. Posner, analyzing their respective approaches to values such as integrity, equality, libertarianism, and efficiency. It concludes that while each theory offers valuable insights, they also have significant limitations. Dworkin's emphasis on equality of resources is challenged for potential overreach, Nozick's libertarianism is critiqued for its impracticalities, and Posner's wealth maximization is faulted for neglecting moral and social considerations. The article advocates for a pluralistic and pragmatic legal theory that integrates rights, coercion, and efficiency, acknowledging the need for further interdisciplinary development.
