Corrective Justice And Constitutional Torts, Bernard P. Dauenhauer, Michael L. Wells
Corrective Justice And Constitutional Torts, Bernard P. Dauenhauer, Michael L. Wells
Georgia Law Review
Tort liability in the private realm may be understood both as "an instrument aimed... at deterrence... [and] a way of achieving corrective justice between the parties."' Following the common law model, the Supreme Court has borrowed this normative framework for constitutional torts, ruling that the aims of liability for damages are to vindicate constitutional rights and to deter constitutional violations. A recent article by Daryl Levinson takes issue vith this approach. Levinson argues that the superficial similarities between public torts and private torts conceal real differences, to which neither the Court nor scholars have paid adequate attention. The main point …
The Origins And Application Of The Military Deference Doctrine, John F. O'Connor
The Origins And Application Of The Military Deference Doctrine, John F. O'Connor
Georgia Law Review
Although the military deference doctrine is often thought to have originated in Supreme Court decisions in the nineteenth century, the doctrine actually is of fairly recent vintage, being traceable to four decisions issued by the Burger Court between 1974 and 1976. The military deference doctrine is (and should be) limited to constitutional issues where courts weigh the extent of the government's interest in determining the constitutionality of the practice at issue. In addition,although the doctrine is oft- criticized by legal scholars,it remains a viable and robust part of the Supreme Court's constitutional jurisprudence
Judicial Review As A Tool For The Safeguard Of Human Rights: Prospects And Problems Of The U.S. Model In Malawi, Janet Laura Banda
Judicial Review As A Tool For The Safeguard Of Human Rights: Prospects And Problems Of The U.S. Model In Malawi, Janet Laura Banda
LLM Theses and Essays
Judicial review is a judicial action that involves the review of an inferior legislative or executive act for conformity with a higher legal norm, with the possibility that the inferior norm may be invalidated or suspended if necessary. Although judicial review has been explicitly provided for in some written post-independence African constitutions, such review has not developed into a significant principle of African juridical democracy. This lack of development can be attributed to the emergence of dictatorships in the post-colonial era. However, Malawi’s weak judiciary system was remedied by the 1994 Constitution which gave the Malawian judiciary a central position, …
Permissible Accommodation Of Religion And The Alternative Burden, Ei Ichiro Takahata
Permissible Accommodation Of Religion And The Alternative Burden, Ei Ichiro Takahata
LLM Theses and Essays
In this thesis, the author discusses the extent to which the government can afford to give accommodation within the limits of the Establishment Clause. In Chapter II, the author reviews the theory of the permissible accommodation referred to in the Supreme Court of the United States. In Chapter III, the author examines scholarly debates on the accommodation. Then, the author discusses German and Japanese law of the accommodation in Chapter IV. There, those cases suggest the possibility of alternative burdens on religious believers. The alternative burdens are considered the price of the accommodation. The author concludes that the government has …
International Arbitration And Procedures To Enforce Awards In The Relationship Between The United States And Germany, Michael Kronenburg
International Arbitration And Procedures To Enforce Awards In The Relationship Between The United States And Germany, Michael Kronenburg
LLM Theses and Essays
Arbitration has long been regarded as a process that combines finality of decision with speed, low expense, and flexibility in solving problems. For these reasons, arbitration is often favored over litigation for dispute resolution. Particularly in international cases, a businessman may avoid litigation in a foreign country for various reasons: he may be unfamiliar with the proceedings; he may be afraid to find a “forum hostile” because of the different legal and cultural background of the judges; and he may wish to avoid the uncertainty concerning the law arising from the contract. Arbitration proceedings have been held constitutional by the …
''Here Comes Da Judge", Ernest Van Den Haag
''Here Comes Da Judge", Ernest Van Den Haag
Georgia Law Review
Had it not been written by an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, this book would not be reviewed: obviously calculated to pander to prurient political interest, it seems utterly without redeeming social value, although it does not violate current community standards, such as they are. However, the author's status makes the book news, just as a bishop's coming out for burlesque would be news: being a bishop is not, nor is favoring burlesque, but being a bishop favoring burlesque is. Points of Rebellion might be described as an apt, if unintended, caricature of the sentiments and ideas found in …
The "Rebellion" Of William 0. Douglas, Morris D. Forkosch
The "Rebellion" Of William 0. Douglas, Morris D. Forkosch
Georgia Law Review
THE major problem in reviewing another's thoughts is to minimize, since it cannot be eliminated, the interacting and modifying effect of one's own views and personal interpretations. This problem arises in all human relations, especially where words, not deeds, are in issue. According to Holmes, "[a] word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and the time in which it is used." With this and other admonitions in mind, it becomes clear that one who reads into Points of Rebellion …
Black, White, Brown And Green: Color Consciousness In Public School Desegregation, Fh. Von U.
Black, White, Brown And Green: Color Consciousness In Public School Desegregation, Fh. Von U.
Georgia Law Review
Since 1954 and Brown v. Board of Education it has been against the law to educate white and black children separately. Separate schools, separate classrooms within a single school, or separate seating arrangements within the same classroom are inherently discriminatory. The law which separate education violates is not an HEW Rule, Regulation or Guideline; nor is it a federal statute. Where a public school system includes children of more than one color or national origin, education of any group of children within that system in a school which is identifiable as "belonging" to one race or another violates the United …
The Continuing Challenge Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Thurgood Marshall
The Continuing Challenge Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Thurgood Marshall
Georgia Law Review
I HAVE come here to Athens tonight to help you commemorate a great event of the past. This year marks the centennial of an occurrence which has had, and will continue to have, great impact on the people in this room. It was in 1868, on July 28 to be exact, that Secretary of State Seward certified that the fourteenth amendment had been ratified by three-quarters of the states and had become part of the Constitution. This event is not simply an isolated historical landmark for the students of this school. Historically, the ratification of the Civil War Amendments marked …
The Eleventh Amendment: Adoption And Interpretation, Doyle Mathis
The Eleventh Amendment: Adoption And Interpretation, Doyle Mathis
Georgia Law Review
One of the controversies involving the states and the federal government is the question of suits against the states, brought by citizens of other states in the federal courts. This controversy is centered around the United States Supreme Court decision in Chisholm v. Georgia and the eleventh amendment to the United States Constitu- tion. This article is a study of the events leading to the adoption of the eleventh amendment and the subsequent attempts to gain access to the federal courts in such cases. An effort is made also to clarify Supreme Court interpretation of the eleventh amendment by considering …
Substantive Due Process And Felony Treatment Of Pot Smokers: The Current Conflict, F.H. Von U.
Substantive Due Process And Felony Treatment Of Pot Smokers: The Current Conflict, F.H. Von U.
Georgia Law Review
The Supreme Court, in recent years, has consistently reaffirmed a trend toward a fuller recognition of individual liberties. When these cherished incidents of American citizenship have conflicted with the real or imagined needs of society, the Court has applied a vital and expanding concept of due process to determine the proper balance of interests. It is now recognized that the State must demonstrate a truly rational basis for punishing individual conduct, aid where proscriptive rather than regulatory measures are enacted, legislation must carefully avoid jeopardizing harmless conduct, however offensive to public taste. Restrictive legislation must be grounded in fact, and …
The Georgia Eavesdropping Statute: A Critical Examination In Light Of Berger V. New York, R. W. S., Jr.
The Georgia Eavesdropping Statute: A Critical Examination In Light Of Berger V. New York, R. W. S., Jr.
Georgia Law Review
Mr. Justice Brandeis, dissenting in Olmstead v. United States,2 observed that: Ways may some day be developed by which the Government, without removing papers from secret drawers, can reproduce them in court, and by which it will be enabled to expose to a jury the most intimate occurrences of the home. With the advent of miniaturized circuits and the corresponding subtlety of eavesdropping devices Brandeis' prediction has become a substantial reality. Tubular and parabolic microphones, for example, can intercept conversations held hundreds of yards away and, reportedly, a microwave beam has been developed which can penetrate virtually any obstacle. Wireless …
