"On The Chastity Of Women All Property In The World Depends" : Injury From Sexual Slander In The Nineteenth Century, Lisa R. Pruitt Oct 2003

"On The Chastity Of Women All Property In The World Depends" : Injury From Sexual Slander In The Nineteenth Century, Lisa R. Pruitt

Indiana Law Journal

In this Article, Professor Pruitt discusses conceptions of the injury associated with defamation law, focusing in particular on sexual slander cases that were brought in the early nineteenth century, before statements that impugned a woman's chastity were deemed slander per se. During this time, women had to prove so-called "special damages" in order to state a cause of action. Courts showed some flexibility in what they recognized as constituting "special damages," even stretching to recognize pecuniary harm in damaged personal relationships. Nevertheless, courts refused to recognize injuries stemming from and related to emotional distress injuries, and they were often skeptical …

"An Unqualified Human Good": E.P. Thompson And The Rule Of Law, Daniel H. Cole Jan 2001

"An Unqualified Human Good": E.P. Thompson And The Rule Of Law, Daniel H. Cole

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The late EP Thompson described himself as "a historian in the Marxist tradition." But when he embraced the Rule of Law (in Whigs and Hunters), many of his colleagues on the left ostracized him as an apostate. This essay argues that Thompson's critics have largely misunderstood what he meant by the Rule of Law. His was a minimal and historical conception, which merely sought to distinguish states whose rulers had unfettered discretion from states whose rulers were constrained by legal rules, whatever their source and contents. Also, in contrast to other radical theorists, Thompson recognized that law would be a …


Can Evolutionary Science Contribute To Discussions Of Law?, Jeffrey E. Stake Jan 2001
