The Philosophy Of Law For A Naturalist: An Introduction To Artificial Law Theory, Dan Priel
The Philosophy Of Law For A Naturalist: An Introduction To Artificial Law Theory, Dan Priel
All Papers
The aim of this essay is to provide an outline for a naturalistic approach to jurisprudence. It begins by arguing for certain reorientations away from certain questions currently preoccupy legal philosophers but should not. The question of the nature of law is, as currently understood, a misguided question. The questions of the metaphysics and the normativity of law, by contrast, are problematic in a different sense: It is not clear that law raises any special questions with respect to them. Following on that I offer a more positive agenda for naturalistic jurisprudence. Starting with methodology, I argue that there is …

Augustine, Lawyers & The Lost Virtue Of Humility, Bruce P. Frohnen
Augustine, Lawyers & The Lost Virtue Of Humility, Bruce P. Frohnen
Catholic University Law Review
The leading edge of legal scholarship and practice in recent decades has evinced a commitment to progressive politics at the expense of constitutional governance, the rule of law, and justice understood as vindication of the reasonable expectations of both the public and the parties to any given case or controversy. This article argues that renewed understanding of the virtue of humility, rooted in a genuine concern to do good according to one’s abilities, rights, and duties, is essential to the maintenance of decency in the legal profession and society as a whole. Such virtue is allowed, if not required, by …

The Normative Molecule: Patent Rights And Dna, Saurabh Vishnubhakat
The Normative Molecule: Patent Rights And Dna, Saurabh Vishnubhakat
Faculty Scholarship
Throughout the biotechnology age, fears about the distortionary effects of property and other legal institutions upon the health and self-determination of individuals and societies have accompanied more popularly sensational fears about unscrupulous choices within the scientific community itself. Still, for most of that time the prevailing legal regime both in the United States and in Europe remained generally permissive of ownership of, and exclusionary power over, the fruits of much biomedical research, though this leniency took different forms and came about in different ways. In particular, the policy of the United States Patent and Trademark Office to grant patents on …

The Epistemic Function Of Fusing Equal Protection And Due Process, Deborah Hellman
The Epistemic Function Of Fusing Equal Protection And Due Process, Deborah Hellman
William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal
The fusion of equal protection and due process has attracted significant attention with scholars offering varied accounts of its purpose and function. Some see the combination as productive, creating a constitutional violation that neither clause would generate alone. Others see the combination as merely strategic, offered to make a claim acceptable at a particular historical moment but not genuinely necessary. This Article offers a third alternative. Judges have and should bring both equal protection and due process together to learn what each clause independently requires. On this Epistemic vision of constitutional fusion, a focus on equality helps judges learn what …
Law Is What The Judge Had For Breakfast: A Brief History Of An Unpalatable Idea, Dan Priel
Law Is What The Judge Had For Breakfast: A Brief History Of An Unpalatable Idea, Dan Priel
Articles & Book Chapters
According to a familiar adage the legal realists equated law with what the judge had for breakfast. As this is sometimes used to ridicule the realists, prominent defenders of legal realism have countered that none of the realists ever entertained any such idea. In this Essay I show that this is inaccurate. References to this idea are found in the work of Karl Llewellyn and Jerome Frank, as well as in the works of their contemporaries, both friends and foes. However, the Essay also shows that the idea is improperly attributed to the legal realists, as there are many references …

Competition Wrongs, Nicolas Cornell
Competition Wrongs, Nicolas Cornell
Articles
In both philosophical and legal circles, it is typically assumed that wrongs depend upon having one’s rights violated. But within any market-based economy, market participants may be wronged by the conduct of other actors in the marketplace. Due to my illicit business tactics, you may lose profits, customers, employees, reputation, access to capital, or any number of other sources of value. This Article argues that such competition wrongs are an example of wrongs that arise without an underlying right, contrary to the typical philosophical and legal assumption. The Article thus draws upon various forms of business law to illustrate what …
The Mystery Of Law: A Critical Analysis Of H.L.A Hart’S The Concept Of Law, Stephen Mark Gray Ii
The Mystery Of Law: A Critical Analysis Of H.L.A Hart’S The Concept Of Law, Stephen Mark Gray Ii
Honors Theses
This thesis explores the role of morality in law through a critical examination of the work of one of the most widely cited and renowned judicial scholars, H.L.A. Hart. His modified theory of positivism, which denotes that law and morality are separable and that legal rules may have any content, has had an enduring impact on the landscape of judicial thought in the last century. As Hart’s work has had an indelible hand in shaping analytical jurisprudence and as it exemplifies the antithesis of my argument, it will serve as a theoretical foil. From it, I hope to articulate my …
Lying And Cheating, Or Self-Help And Civil Disobedience?, Aditi Bagchi
Lying And Cheating, Or Self-Help And Civil Disobedience?, Aditi Bagchi
Brooklyn Law Review
May poor sellers lie to rich buyers? This article argues that, under limited circumstances, sellers may indeed have a license to lie about their goods. Where sellers are losers under unjust background institutions and they reasonably believe that buyers have more than they would under just institutions, lies that result in de minimum transfers can be regarded as a kind of self-help. More generally, what we owe each other in our interpersonal interactions depends on the institutional backdrop. Consumer contract law, including its enforcement regimes, should recognize the social and political contingency of sellers’ obligations to buyers. In other contexts, …
