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, …

Izvestiia As A Mirror Of Russian Legal Reform, Frances H. Foster Nov 1993

Izvestiia As A Mirror Of Russian Legal Reform, Frances H. Foster

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In this Article, Professor Foster explores the breakdown of legal authority in post-Soviet Russia by examining the experience of the Russian newspaper Izvestiia. The author recounts the power struggles between the Russian president and the parliament, each seeking to exercise sole control over the destiny of Izvestiia and of post-Soviet Russia. Professor Foster argues that Izvestiia's battle for survival is merely symptomatic of the overall structural, procedural, and attitudinal obstacles to Russian legal reform in the post-Soviet era. The author concludes that the key to successful establishment of a stable, democratic, law-based state is a fundamental reconstitution of Russian legal …

Parading Ourselves: Freedom Of Speech At The Feast Of St. Patrick, Larry Yackle Nov 1993

Parading Ourselves: Freedom Of Speech At The Feast Of St. Patrick, Larry Yackle

Faculty Scholarship

Three things are true. First, American society is now absorbed in yet another great civil rights movement, this one on behalf of gay, lesbian, and ambisexual citizens, which will lead ineluctably to the elimination of legal burdens on the basis of sexual orientation.' Change will come slowly, with much backing and filling, and at an awful price measured in human pain. Intolerance for the homosexualities that exist among us, and the homosexual behavior in which many of us engage, will persist in quarters where the law cannot reach.2 Yet private homophobia, deprived of legal sanction, will ultimately be discredited and …

Presidential Interpretation Of The Constitution, David A. Strauss Oct 1993

Presidential Interpretation Of The Constitution, David A. Strauss

Cardozo Law Review

May the executive branch disagree with the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution, and act in accordance with its own view? We tend to associate this question with a few great constitutional crises. Disputes between President Jackson and the Supreme Court over the Bank of the United States; between President Lincoln and the Court over slavery; and between President Franklin Roosevelt and the Court over New Deal legislation, all produced memorable statements by presidents claiming a broad power to act independently from the Court's decisions. The school desegregation controversy was between the Court and some state governments, not the President, …

Theories Of Poetry, Theories Of Law, Lawrence Joseph Oct 1993

Theories Of Poetry, Theories Of Law, Lawrence Joseph

Vanderbilt Law Review

I write poetry." Also, since 1976, when I was admitted to practice before a state bar, I have served as a law clerk for a justice of a state supreme court, practiced, and mostly taught law. About the time that I began law school, while I was writing poems that would appear in my first book, an extraordinary change in jurisprudence began to occur, one which focused on legal language as something more than a medium for conveying singular meaning. This legal theory has become as important as any since legal realism. Because I also have written essays and re- …

In Appreciation Of Jack Burns, Frank J. Macchiarola Oct 1993

In Appreciation Of Jack Burns, Frank J. Macchiarola

Cardozo Law Review

Jacob Burns was a good and gentle man. He did many fine and generous things in his lifetime, but the qualities that best describe him are the personal ones-good and gentle. The gentleness did not mean that he was unable to handle difficult matters or to exert the kind of strength that gave others solace. It meant that through these situations there was a contentment that always reassured the rest of us. The gentleness came from his concern for others and in the way he approached people. It was always thrilling for me to see Jack Burns in the company …

Introduction, John O. Mcginnis Oct 1993

Introduction, John O. Mcginnis

Cardozo Law Review

Executive branch interpretation of the law is a subject both timely and enduring. Just prior to the convening of this symposium, an election ended twelve years of Republican administration in which controversy over executive branch legal interpretation was greater than that in any period since the New Deal. Both Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush were committed to very different jurisprudential views from those which had predominated on the Supreme Court in the Warren and even Burger years. Therefore, it was not surprising that during their tenure the Department of Justice provided renewed justifications for both the autonomy and unitariness …

Jacob Burns And The Institute For Advanced Legal Studies, David G. Carlson

Cardozo Law Review

Jacob Burns lived a long and fabled life, which was obviously its own reward. Among the very many things that could be said, and the thing I would like to memorialize here, is the profound legacy Mr. Bums left behind at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where he served as chairman of the board for many years and as founder of the Jacob Bums Institute for Advanced Legal Studies. In his memory, I would like to say a little about the history of this endeavor and Mr. Burns's role in it.

Executive Autonomy, Judicial Authority And The Rule Of Law: Reflections On Constitutional Interpretation And The Separation Of Powers, Michel Rosenfeld Oct 1993

Executive Autonomy, Judicial Authority And The Rule Of Law: Reflections On Constitutional Interpretation And The Separation Of Powers, Michel Rosenfeld

Cardozo Law Review

The United States Constitution is remarkably silent on the subject of ultimate responsibility for constitutional interpretation, despite its elaborate prescriptions for a scheme of separation of powers that interweaves elements of independence and of interdependence among the distinct branches of the federal government. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that there have been several disputes between the President and the Supreme Court concerning the scope of executive autonomy in constitutional interpretation. In recent years, moreover, the conflict between judicial authority and executive autonomy has been exacerbated by efforts to legitimize presidential interpretations of the Constitution that are inconsistent with Supreme Court …

The Bar In America: The Role Of Elitism In A Liberal Democracy, Philip S. Stamatakos Jul 1993

The Bar In America: The Role Of Elitism In A Liberal Democracy, Philip S. Stamatakos

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Part I of this Note argues that liberal democracy, the free market, and science have contributed to the increasing atomization of American society. When each person and her views are glorified, universal standards of good become undermined, values become relative, and a sense of community becomes evanescent. Part II argues that individualism is incapable of accounting for the commonweal and therefore is inherently amoral because morality is concerned largely with determining when an individual's will should be subservient to the will of others. Part III considers the nature of elitism and equality and attributes the demise of elitist institutions in …

Police Authority, Respect And Shaming, Mark Findlay Jul 1993

Police Authority, Respect And Shaming, Mark Findlay

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

This paper explores structures of police authority which seek legitimacy though consensus and respect within the ideology of community policing. Respect may be presented as one of the principal, voluntary bonding relationships within any community, and is proposed as a key to analysing the prevention and control potential of policing strategies. Shaming comes into the picture as an indicator of the impact of police authority within different community/cultural settings. While reintegration makes sense in terms of community symbolism, the significance of policing as part of the reintegrative process depends on its status and interaction with community interests.
