Theorizing The Point-Of-Order Interpretive Canons, Chun Hin Jeffrey Tsoi

West Virginia Law Review

In Law Within Congress, Jonathan Gould suggested that rulings of the House or Senate chair under the advice of their respective parliamentarians might inform statutory interpretation. This Article fleshes out the theoretical foundations of that approach. While such approach is much narrower than the broad reliance on Congress’s rules by other theorists of the “process-based” school, it also comes with strong theoretical justifications and advantages that set it apart.

Part II then surveys the theoretical advantages specific to the …

ABSTRACT

The Position of the United States of America Vis-à-vis the Question of Western Sahara: Assessing the Role of Think Tanks in the Conflict

Hamid Baadeche

Think tank organizations, particularly in the United States, have become a prominent feature of the political landscape. They act as advocates for specific policies that they consider beneficial for the country or a particular societal group. They function as a primary source of information, which they then aim to transform into well-informed policies and sound decisions. They are referred to as "the revolving doors," "idea brokers," and "idea factory." As such, their foremost objective …

Does Regulation Chill Democratic Deliberation? The Case Of Gmos, Alison Peck

Law Faculty Scholarship

Breakthroughs in science and technology pose a challenge to the U.S. legal system: either regulate under pre-existing laws using a business-as-usual approach, or pass new laws to deal with new relationships and conflicts created by these breakthroughs. How does the legal process determine when to regulate and when to legislate? Does that process adequately ensure deliberative democratic debate and implementation of democratic consensus? Does it adequately protect urgent interests in the meantime? Currently, this determination is ongoing with regard to new scientific developments such as climate change science, and new technological developments such as hydraulic fracturing of unconventional natural gas …
