Promise Fulfilled And Principle Betrayed, James J. White Jan 1988

Promise Fulfilled And Principle Betrayed, James J. White

Articles

My responsibility in this paper is to address three questions. (1) How has the legal realist body of thought affected contract law and its application? (2) How will contract law and its application be affected in the future by realist thinking? (3) If the realist viewpoint were fully accepted, what kind of system would result and how would contract law be affected? Because my focus is upon a principal legislative monument to realism, Article Two of the Uniform Commercial Code (the "U.C.C."), and upon its drafter, Karl Llewellyn, I will not answer any of the three questions explicitly. By focusing …


Law And Sex, Christina B. Whitman Jan 1988

Law And Sex, Christina B. Whitman

Reviews

In Feminism Unmodified, a collection of speeches given between 1981 and 1986, Catharine MacKinnon talks of law from the perspective of feminism. MacKinnon does not approach her topic as a lawyer with a uniquely legal perspective on feminism; she brings, instead, a distinctively feminist approach to law. Nor is the feminism from which she speaks grounded in the standard political theories: MacKinnon disclaims and attacks the Marxist approach to feminism, the socialist approach to feminism, and, most emphatically and repeatedly, the liberal approach to feminism that has been embraced by many lawyers in their effort to use law to eliminate …


Jurisprudence And Gender, Robin West Jan 1988

Jurisprudence And Gender, Robin West

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

What is a human being? Legal theorists must, perforce, answer this question: jurisprudence, after all, is about human beings. The task has not proven to be divisive. In fact, virtually all modern American legal theorists, like most modern moral and political philosophers, either explicitly or implicitly embrace what I will call the "separation thesis" about what it means to be a human being: a "human being," whatever else he is, is physically separate from all other human beings. I am one human being and you are another, and that distinction between you and me is central to the meaning of …


Enforcement Provisions Of The Civil Rights Act Of 1866: A Legislative History In Light Of Runyon V. Mccrary, The Review Essay And Comments: Reconstructing Reconstruction, Robert J. Kaczorowski Jan 1988

Enforcement Provisions Of The Civil Rights Act Of 1866: A Legislative History In Light Of Runyon V. Mccrary, The Review Essay And Comments: Reconstructing Reconstruction, Robert J. Kaczorowski

Faculty Scholarship

The purpose of this Comment is to examine the history of the enactment and early enforcement of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 from the perspective of the remedies Congress sought to provide to meet the problems that necessitated the legislation. Its main foci are the statute's enforcement provisions and their early implementation, an aspect of the history of the statute that has not been fully considered in relation to section one, the provision that has received the most scholarly attention. The occasion of this study is the Supreme Court's reconsideration of Runyon v. McCrary' in Patterson v. McLean Credit …


Communities, Texts, And Law: Reflections On The Law And Literature Movement, Robin West Jan 1988

Communities, Texts, And Law: Reflections On The Law And Literature Movement, Robin West

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

How do we form communities? How might we form better ones? What is the role of law in that process? In a recent series of books and articles, James Boyd White, arguably the modern law and literature movement's founder, has put forward distinctively literary answers to these questions. Perhaps because of the fluidity of the humanities, White's account of the nature of community is not nearly as axiomatic to the law and literature movement as is Posner's depiction of the "individual" to legal economists. Nevertheless, White's conception is increasingly representative of the literary-legalist's world view. Furthermore, with the exception of …


The Authoritarian Impulse In Constitutional Law, Robin West Jan 1988

The Authoritarian Impulse In Constitutional Law, Robin West

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Should there be greater participation by legislators and citizens in constitutional debate, theory, and decision-making? An increasing number of legal theorists from otherwise divergent perspectives have recently argued against what Paul Brest calls the "principle of judicial exclusivity" in our constitutional processes. These theorists contend that because issues of public morality in our culture either are, or tend to become, constitutional issues, all political actors, and most notably legislators and citizens, should consider the constitutional implications of the moral issues of the day. Because constitutional questions are essentially moral questions about how active and responsible citizens should constitute themselves, we …


An Interested Response To A "Wholly Disinterested Assessment": Lebel On Summers On Lebel On Summers On ….Er…Um…Oh, Yeah…Fuller, Paul A. Lebel Aug 1987

An Interested Response To A "Wholly Disinterested Assessment": Lebel On Summers On Lebel On Summers On ….Er…Um…Oh, Yeah…Fuller, Paul A. Lebel

Michigan Law Review

In 1985, I published in the Michigan Law Review a review of a recent book by Professor Robert S. Summers on the legal philosophy of Lon Fuller. Professor Summers has published in the Cornell Law Review an ironically titled criticism of my review and of another review. In a number of respects, Professor Summers' Assessment has served to increase my understanding of his book, and I trust that other readers will be similarly benefited. Although Professor Summers' response to my review of his book takes issue with what I said on a number of points, I strongly suspect that few …

The Corporate Practice Of Medicine Doctrine: An Anachronism In The Modern Health Care Industry, Jeffrey F. Chase-Lubitz Mar 1987

The Corporate Practice Of Medicine Doctrine: An Anachronism In The Modern Health Care Industry, Jeffrey F. Chase-Lubitz

Vanderbilt Law Review

Corporations, in the form of small, doctor-owned, proprietary hospitals and community or charity nonprofit hospitals, have pervaded the provision of health care services for many years. Recently, however, private, for-profit corporations increasingly have entered the health care field. One industry expert predicts that by the mid-1990s, ten national firms will provide fifty percent of the nation's medical care. Nationwide hospital chains, nonexistent twenty years ago, now own or manage twelve percent of the nation's hospitals. The proliferation of health maintenance organizations, freestanding emergency centers,' and other proprietary health care delivery systems exemplify the increased commercialization of medicine. Indeed, many young …

Twisting The Tourniquet Around The Pulse Of Conventional Legal Wisdom: Jurisprudence And Law Reform In The Work Of Robert A Samek, Richard F. Devlin Frsc Jan 1987

Twisting The Tourniquet Around The Pulse Of Conventional Legal Wisdom: Jurisprudence And Law Reform In The Work Of Robert A Samek, Richard F. Devlin Frsc

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

Despite some lingering reservations, after a reading and re-reading, analysis and counter-analysis, critique, reflection and synthesis of over thirty articles and two books, I now feel comfortable with Samek's work and confident enough to present this reconstruction of his theory in order that his thoughts will be more accessible to those who might be interested

Inclusionary Zoning And Linkage: Land Use Planning Techniques In An Age Of Scarce Public Resources, Paul S. Quinn Jr. Jan 1987

Inclusionary Zoning And Linkage: Land Use Planning Techniques In An Age Of Scarce Public Resources, Paul S. Quinn Jr.

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

This paper discusses the historical development of inclusionary zoning and linkage and the reasons why both techniques are important issues for land use planning. Next, the paper examines current linkage programs in Boston and Miami, which have served as model programs throughout the nation. The paper also addresses the constitutional challenges to linkage and the merits of each argument. Finally, guidelines for a successful linkage program are explained with an analysis of ways to survive constitutional challenges. The paper concludes the linkage programs are necessary if current economic trends continue and affordable housing becomes even more scarce in the future.

Introduction, Julian C. Juergensmeyer Jan 1987

Introduction, Julian C. Juergensmeyer

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

Over the past decade, the State of Florida—its environment sensitive, its population exploding, and its economy expanding—has pioneered innovative land planning and development regulation law. Our Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, State Comprehensive Plan Act, Environmental Land and Water Management Act, and Regional Planning Council Act are considered models in many American states and even in foreign countries. The Growth Management Act of 1985 is unique in providing for a statewide planning framework that strengthens our major land use regulation and environmental protections laws and requires consistency between all state, regional, and local planning activities.
