“Gay Rights” For “Gay Whites”?: Race, Sexual Identity, And Equal Protection Discourse, Darren Lenard Hutchinson

UF Law Faculty Publications

While the resolution of the problem of gay and lesbian inequality will ultimately turn on a host of social, legal, political, and ideological variables, this Article argues that the success or failure of efforts to achieve legal equality for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered individuals will depend in large part on how scholars and activists in this field address questions of racial identity and racial subjugation. Commonly, these scholars and activists currently discuss race by use of analogies between “racial discrimination” and “sexual orientation discrimination,” or between “people of color” and “gays and lesbians.” On one level, the “comparative approach” …

Technological Developments In Legal Research, Lynn Foster, Bruce Kennedy

The Journal of Appellate Practice and Process

Technology has created new types of legal research and means of access to the law. Specific to appellate practice, technology has changed how decisions are published and the nature of legal research. Technology has even created a debate on who owns the different forms of case law.

Legal Research And The World Of Thinkable Thoughts, Robert C. Berring

The Journal of Appellate Practice and Process

It is difficult to properly describe technology’s impact on legal information. The impact created a generational gap between those who learned their research skills before the change and current students. The habits of the new generation of legal researchers point toward a change in the way that we can think about the law.

From The Archives (Such As They Are), Barbara Aronstein Black

Faculty Scholarship

Somewhere, in the mythic past of Langdell and Stone, a few good men decided to create a journal with unpaid student laborers in order to free their time and allow professors to concentrate on outside consulting without having to support their arguments or check their cites. This tradition continues to this day.
—Columbia Law Review Banquet Issue, 1991

I'm quite fond of that account of the origins of law reviews, but, alas, the truth is less colorful. Harvard, as we know, was first-in, truly, the Langdellian past – and there, as everywhere to follow, the Review was the result of …

Beyond The Rhetoric Of “Dirty Laundry”: Examining The Value Of Internal Criticism Within Progressive Social Movements And Oppressed Communities, Darren Lenard Hutchinson

UF Law Faculty Publications

Several historical reasons explain opposition to the airing of internal criticism by scholars and activists within progressive social movements and by members of subordinate communities. Opponents often contend that such criticism might reinforce negative stereotypes of subordinate individuals and that reactionary movements and activists might appropriate and misuse negative portrayals of the oppressed. A related fear holds that internal criticism will dismantle political unity within oppressed communities and progressive social movements, thereby forestalling social change. While these concerns provide some context for understanding the resistance to internal criticism within progressive social movements, I argue in this essay that they do …

An Empirical Evaluation Of Specialized Law Reviews, Chris Guthrie, Tracey E. George

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

The sudden, rapid, and widespread increase in the number of specialized law reviews has attracted relatively little scholarly attention even though it is the most significant development in legal academic publishing in the second half of the twentieth century. As a consequence, there is a dearth of information about the proliferation, significance, and status of specialized reviews. In this Article, we attempt to fill this information gap by documenting the rise of the specialized review and by providing an empirical ranking of the top 100 specialized reviews.

The Importance Of Being Empirical, Michael Heise

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Legal scholarship is becoming increasingly empirical. Although empirical methodologies gain important influence within the legal academy, their application in legal research remains underdeveloped. This paper surveys and analyzes the state of empirical legal scholarship and explores possible influences on its production. The paper advances a normative argument for increased empirical legal scholarship.

The Cathedral At Twenty-Five: Citations And Impressions, James E. Krier, Stewart J. Schwab

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

It was twenty-five years ago that Guido Calabresi and Douglas Melamed published their article on property rules, liability rules, and inalienability. Calabresi, then a law professor, later a dean, is now a federal judge. Melamed, formerly a student of Calabresi's, is now a seasoned Washington attorney. Their article—which, thanks to its subtitle, we shall call The Cathedral—has had a remarkable influence on our own thinking, as we tried to show in a recent paper.

This is not the place to rehash what we said then, but a summary might be in order. First, we demonstrated that the conventional wisdom …

History Of The Court Reporter In The Appellate Courts Of Pennsylvania, Joel Fishman

Law Faculty Publications

States have traditionally published the decisions of their intermediate and highest courts.¹ Legal historians, in recent years, have written extensively on the history of court reporting and court reports.² These historical accounts have revealed that many famous judges and lawyers throughout the country gained prominent reputations stemming from the publishing of their decisions.³ In the "nineteenth century, the development of court reports received attention from the legal community through reviews in many of the leading periodicals of the day."⁴ By 1900, however, the periodical literature contained only a small number of reviews of individual state reports. …

Catholic Faith And Legal Scholarship, Gerard V. Bradley

Journal Articles

The most obvious and the most personally important way in which scholarship reflects faith knows no distinction between Protestants and Catholics. For all of us who are Christians, the life of the scholar is our vocation, our contribution to the building of the Kingdom, our share in the church's mission. We did not just stumble upon this life of scholarship, or choose it because it is interesting, exciting, or fun (though sometimes it is). Rather, we discerned through prayerful reflection upon our gifts, our opportunities, and the needs of our communities that God called us to serve others by striving …
