Some Problems In Administration Of Justice In A Secularized Society, Thomas L. Shaffer, William Mclennon, Lois G. Forer Jan 1980

Some Problems In Administration Of Justice In A Secularized Society, Thomas L. Shaffer, William Mclennon, Lois G. Forer

Journal Articles

In our complex society, the role of the lawyer has assumed unprecedented significance. People turn to the law for answers to all of the new questions involving social, moral, and ethical considerations, as well as for answers to many of the old problems which were not typically perceived as legal issues. Law students, faculty, lawyers, judges, the clergy, and even anthropologists-all of us need a much more sensitive and deeper understanding of a wide variety of problems. We must continually question the rightness of the law and the fairness and decency with which we treat all of the people who …

What Causes Fundamental Legal Ideas? Marital Property In England And France In The Thirteenth Century, Charles Donahue Jr. Nov 1979

What Causes Fundamental Legal Ideas? Marital Property In England And France In The Thirteenth Century, Charles Donahue Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Categorizing broadly, the marital property systems of the Western nations today are divided into two types: those in which husband and wife own all property separately except those items that they have expressly agreed to hold jointly (in a nontechnical sense) and those in which husband and wife own a substantial portion or even all of their property jointly unless they have expressly agreed to hold it separately. The system of separate property is the "common law" system, in force in most jurisdictions where the Anglo-American common law is in force. The system of joint property is the community property …

The Concept Of Function And The Basis Of Regulatory Interests Under Functional Choice-Of-Law Theory: The Significance Of Benefit And The Insignificance Of Intention, Gregory S. Alexander Oct 1979

The Concept Of Function And The Basis Of Regulatory Interests Under Functional Choice-Of-Law Theory: The Significance Of Benefit And The Insignificance Of Intention, Gregory S. Alexander

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Recent literature and judicial opinions have recognized the need for control and consistency in choice of law. Although the formulation of choice-of-law theory in terms of the states' interests in the conflicting rules at issue has gained wide acceptance, the courts have been unable to agree upon criteria for determining when a state has a valid interest in dispute resolution. Moreover, courts frequently appear all too eager to use contemporary choice-of-law analysis to justify local regulation of multistate disputes despite insubstantial local relationships. The inconsistency and local bias both stem from the lack of a coherent theory for discerning the …

State Sovereignty--A Polished But Slippery Crown, Kenneth F. Ripple, Douglas W. Kenyon Jun 1979

State Sovereignty--A Polished But Slippery Crown, Kenneth F. Ripple, Douglas W. Kenyon

Journal Articles

During the past decade, the Supreme Court has decided two notable cases which have had, it is certain, the effect of greatly enhancing both the theoretical and the practical significance of the tenth and eleventh amendment-based concept of "state sovereignty." As a consequence, there has been an acceptance, at least in the "conventional wisdom," of the proposition that the star of "state sovereignty"—long dulled since Mr. Justice Stone's famous remark in United States v. Darby—is now on a steadily ascending course at the hands of a Court clearly concerned about restoring a sense of balance in "Our Federalism." Analysis—and prognostication—in …


The First Two Vinerian Professors: Blackstone And Chambers, Rupert Cross May 1979

The First Two Vinerian Professors: Blackstone And Chambers, Rupert Cross

William & Mary Law Review

This is the second in a series of four articles commemorating the bicentennial of American legal education, dating from the establishment of the first chair of law and police, occupied by George Wythe, at the College of William and Mary on December 4, 1779. The colonial antecedents to the College's formal relation to professional legal education may be traced to the career of Sir John Randolph, a student at William and Mary, 1705-1713, who then prepared for the bar at Gray's Inn, London (1715-1717). Randolph's two sons, Peyton ("The Patriot") and John ("The Tory") followed his example, first at the …

Untangling The Strands Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Ira C. Lupu Apr 1979

Untangling The Strands Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Ira C. Lupu

Michigan Law Review

This Article explores such trends in the context of several recent cases and in the broader context of established patterns of constitutional law. Section II shows how the different strains of fourteenth amendment activism over the past century have tangled the strands of the fourteenth amendment in a thick, almost impenetrable knot. Section ill studies the tangle's reflection in three cases raising fundamental rights problems - Maher v. Roe, Moore v. City of East Cleveland, and Zablocki v. Redhail. Finally, Section N offers what Sections II and III suggest is missing from fourteenth amendment case law- a theory, abstract …
