Affirmative Action On Law Reviews: An Empirical Study Of Its Status And Effect, Frederick Ramos

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note discusses the issues involved in affirmative action on law reviews. Part I examines law review affirmative action admissions schemes and alternative types of affirmative action programs. Part II considers the arguments supporting and opposing the implementation of affirmative action programs by law reviews. Part III presents the results of a survey of law reviews concerning affirmative action. This Note concludes that affirmative action programs are the most effective means of increasing minority membership on law reviews, but that law reviews may increase minority membership through other methods.

Library Costs As A Percentage Of Law School Budgets, Jane L. Hammond

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

For many years, the benchmark for the portion of the law school budget that goes to the law library has been twenty percent. An analysis of law school budgets for 1976-77, 1981-82, and 1986-87, however, shows that this benchmark should be lowered or modified by size of the law school.

The Anatomy Of A Leading Case: Lawrence V. Fox In The Courts, The Casebooks, And The Commentaries, M. H. Hoeflich, E. Perelmuter

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In spite of the wide diversity of training, practice, and location of lawyers throughout the United States, virtually all share one experience: the standard core curriculum of the first year of law school taught by the case method. The extent to which that experience in parsing cases in contracts, torts, and property shapes the American legal mentality is open to debate, but it undeniably has an impact. The first-year experience socializes law students in the culture of the law. During this period, students learn the language of the law and the ways that lawyers think. During this period, too, students …

Charting New Territory In Judicial Proof: Beyond Wigmore, Peter Tillers, David Schum

Cardozo Law Review

In this Article, Professor Tillers and Professor Schum investigate judicial proof in a way that combines three distinct methods of analyzing the probative significance of evidence. They call these three modes of analysis legal structuring, temporal structuring, and relational structuring. Although scholars in various disciplines have recognized the importance of these three types of analysis in the assessment of evidence, no extant theory provides a systematic account of the relationships between legal analysis, temporal analysis, and relational analysis. Professor Tillers and Professor Schum describe some of the matters that a three-dimensional analysis of proof must take into account and they …

Point/Counterpoint: A Debate On Irony And Interpretation, Richard Lempert, Peter Westen

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

Can irony play a role in the construction of statutes? In the following articles, legal scholars Richard Lempert and Peter Westen debate the point, taking, as their context, the Supreme Court decision in United Steelworkers v. Weber, a 1979 affirmative action case that brings to the fore the moral dilemmas posed by such programs.

Professor Lempert's initial article originally appeared in Ethics 95 (October 1984), published by the University of Chicago Press. Professor Westen's response, and Lempert's rejoinder to it, were written especially for Law Quadrangle Notes.
