On The Relevance Of The Admissibility Of Scientific Evidence: Tort System Outcomes Are Principally Determined By Lawyers’ Rates Of Return, Lester Brickman Apr 1994

On The Relevance Of The Admissibility Of Scientific Evidence: Tort System Outcomes Are Principally Determined By Lawyers’ Rates Of Return, Lester Brickman

Cardozo Law Review

The attention generated by Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reflects the perceived importance of the issue of the admissibility of scientific evidence in tort litigation. In products liability litigation, whether claimants prevail often depends upon expert testimony presented on the issue of causation. Unless a claimant is able to have the expert's testimony admitted, there will be little or no chance of prevailing. Thus, though it is disputed whether Daubert will extend or contract tort liability, it is undisputed that its importance lies in its impact on the scope of tort liability.


Dna And Daubert, Barry C. Scheck Apr 1994

Dna And Daubert, Barry C. Scheck

Cardozo Law Review

The most intriguing aspect of Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is that the Supreme Court never applied its new analytic framework for the admissibility of scientific evidence to the facts of the case. Either the deviltry, or the genius, of the Daubert decision lies in the details.


Daubert: Interpreting The Federal Rules Of Evidence, Paul C. Giannelli Apr 1994

Daubert: Interpreting The Federal Rules Of Evidence, Paul C. Giannelli

Cardozo Law Review

In 1992 Judge Becker and Professor Orenstein referred to the Frye issue - the admissibility of novel scientific evidence-as the "most controversial and important unresolved question" in the Federal Rules of Evidence. Indeed, during the prior decade the federal courts had battled over the issue, as had their state counterparts. Similarly, text writers and law review commentators vigorously disagreed about the proper standard for admitting scientific evidence. While one ABA report on the Federal Rules explored the Frye issue and concluded that it "is not clear that any standard would produce agreement at the moment," another report cited it as …

In Appreciation Of Jack Burns, Frank J. Macchiarola Oct 1993

In Appreciation Of Jack Burns, Frank J. Macchiarola

Cardozo Law Review

Jacob Burns was a good and gentle man. He did many fine and generous things in his lifetime, but the qualities that best describe him are the personal ones-good and gentle. The gentleness did not mean that he was unable to handle difficult matters or to exert the kind of strength that gave others solace. It meant that through these situations there was a contentment that always reassured the rest of us. The gentleness came from his concern for others and in the way he approached people. It was always thrilling for me to see Jack Burns in the company …

The Moment Of Constitutional Opportunity, Marci A. Hamilton Jan 1993

The Moment Of Constitutional Opportunity, Marci A. Hamilton

Cardozo Law Review

Professor Sunstein speaks perceptively to the debate over how the Eastern European countries should proceed following their sudden constitutional crises. The Eastern European framer would do well to keep his checklist of constitutional features at hand. Two aspects of his task, however, raise rather interesting and related questions. At base, I raise the question of whether Eastern Europe has reached the "moment of constitutional opportunity" that Professor Sunstein asserts it has.

Freedom From Freedom Of Contract: The Enduring Value Of Servitude Restrictions, Stewart E. Sterk Mar 1985

Freedom From Freedom Of Contract: The Enduring Value Of Servitude Restrictions, Stewart E. Sterk

Articles

The article examines the legal and policy implications of enforcing contractual servitudes that bind successors-in-interest to land, arguing that unrestricted enforcement could lead to significant externalities and transaction costs. While Richard Epstein advocates for maximal contractual freedom, the analysis highlights the need for doctrinal limitations to protect future generations and public interests. The article critiques existing doctrines like the touch and concern requirement, changed conditions doctrine, and durational limitations, proposing reforms to balance private autonomy with broader societal concerns.

Transcript Of Conference Proceedings, Lester Brickman, Richard O. Lempert

Articles

The transcript examines the challenges and opportunities in improving legal services delivery to middle-class consumers, emphasizing the need for structural changes and enhanced client-lawyer interactions. It advocates for a shift from merely increasing the number of lawyers to empowering clients through better problem definition, shared decision-making, and measurable outcomes. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding legal needs, the role of intermediaries, and the potential of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. Cost-effectiveness, the impact of third-party payments, and the integration of paralegals are also central themes.
