Objectivity And Democracy, David K. Millon Jan 1992

Objectivity And Democracy, David K. Millon

Scholarly Articles

As a response to skepticism about the possibility of objectivity in legal decisionmaking conventionalism posits the shared understandings of the legal profession (about method and the implications of doctrine) as the source of constraint in legal interpretation. In this Article, Professor Millon argues that conventionalism's proponents have failed to offer an adequate account of interpretive constraint, but that conventionalism properly understood can nevertheless provide a useful perspective on the possibility of objectivity in legal interpretation. This account locates interpretive constraint in the practices of the legal profession as a whole, acting as an "interpretive community" or constituting a distinctive "language-game" …


The Jurisprudence Of Affirmative Action: Equality In Abstraction And Application, Alec Anthony Izzo Jan 1992

The Jurisprudence Of Affirmative Action: Equality In Abstraction And Application, Alec Anthony Izzo

St. Thomas Law Review

Analyzing the results in affirmative action cases decided in the last fourteen years tends to invite specious observations. For example, it is true that only 50% of the affirmative action plans reviewed by the Supreme Court withstand constitutional attack, while 80% withstand federal statutory attack. Additionally, more than half of the Court's affirmative action opinions have been authored by Justice Brennan and in each case the challenged plan has been approved. Further, two cases evaluating the constitutional merits of affirmative action were written by Justice Powell, whose opinions resulted in findings of unconstitutionality, and whose language echoes long beyond his …

The Myth Of Retributive Justice, Brian Slattery

Articles & Book Chapters

In fairy tales, villains usually come to a bad end, snared in a trap of their own making, or visited with a disaster nicely suited to their particular villainy. Read a story of this kind to children and you will be struck by the profound satisfaction with which this predictable of events is greeted. Yet, if children cheer when the villain is done in, they are just as satisfied when the hero manages to get the villain by the throat but takes pity and spares him. These tales of retribution and mercy, even reduced to their barest bones, seem to …

Law, Order And Democracy: An Analysis Of The Judiciary In A Progressive State--The Saskatchewan Experience, David S. Cohen Jan 1992

Law, Order And Democracy: An Analysis Of The Judiciary In A Progressive State--The Saskatchewan Experience, David S. Cohen

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Current legal debates on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada have focused on the apparent shift in the location of power from elected representatives to the judiciary since 1982. In this paper, I take an historical perspective on that issue. I will explore the relationship of political power, as exercised by the judiciary through the interpretation of legislation, with concepts of parliamentary supremacy in Saskatchewan during the fist half of this century.

The paper first describes the political character of the judiciary in Saskatchewan from 1905 until 1941, and then describes the political movements which gave rise to …
